Sex Magick Quotes

“If you are drawn to the left hand path, it's usually because you've had some kind of life experience that has shocked you, awakened you.”
― Nikolas Schreck

“Sex is, directly or indirectly, the most powerful weapon in the armoury of the Magician; and precisely because there is no moral guide, it is indescribably dangerous. I have given a great many hints, especially in Magick , and The Book of Thoth —some of the cards are almost blatantly revealing; so I have been rapped rather severely over the knuckles for giving children matches for playthings. My excuse has been that they have already got the matches, that my explanations have been directed to add conscious precautions to the existing automatic safeguards.”
― Aleister Crowley, Magick Without Tears

“Sex and magic are intertwined experiences—sex is one kind of magic (and can be made more magical without being concerned with sex-magic at any point), and magic can be, while erotic and arousing, not necessarily sexual in the way that is often understood. There is a commonly-held belief that those who practice sex-magic are indulging themselves in wild orgiastic rites at every opportunity. This is rarely the case. After all, if you need to go through lots of occult rigmarole just to get laid, then you're a bit sad, aren't you? Then again, the occult subculture is full of SAD people, desperate to finally get laid and attempting to turn to sex-magic as a last resort.”
― Phil Hine, Sex Magic, Tantra & Tarot: The Way of the Secret Lover

“It may interest you that, a day or so ago, attempting to discuss your ideas with regard to sex and religion, my eccentric friend, fixing his eyes rather fiercely upon me, growled abruptly: "Semen is God."

Unwilling to excite him further, I replied: Sir, though I understand perfectly what you mean by Semen, I am unacquainted with the connotation which you attach to the term "God".”
― Aleister Crowley

“...yes I understand your spells—your sex magic—at least, I know this: all lights dim when you walk in...”
― John Geddes, A Familiar Rain

“It may sound like a cliché, but love begins at home. No amount of one-night stands will compensate for not feeling okay about yourself. Anyone who tells you that they are still looking for the 'right' partner so that they can practice sexual magic 'properly' still hasn't cottoned on to the basic facts that so-called sex-magic 'power' does not reside in other people, techniques, or in occult 'secret teachings.' All magical 'power' comes from within, and cultivating Self-Love is a first step to unleashing this power. Which is not to say that it is easy—it often isn't, and many people spend years struggling to like themselves. Self-Love requires that you accept yourself—warts and all, rather than trying to live up to a self-image which is unrealistic and unbalanced. Self-Love enables you to relax so that you are not continually flogging yourself with internal criticism, and, significantly, you do not feel an overwhelming need to have other people's approval. Self-Love changes the way we relate to others, so that we no longer use other people as props to support our fantasies, but begin to see them as independent agents. If you do not love yourself, then you will find it difficult to love other people—you will continually use others to prop up parts of your ego.”
― Phil Hine, Sex Magic, Tantra & Tarot: The Way of the Secret Lover

“The generative function is strictly nothing but an animal one, and can never be anything else. True spirituality demands its utter extirpation; and while its proper exercise for the continuation of the human race, in the semi-animal stage of its evolution, may not be considered sinful, its misuse, in any way, is fraught with the most terrible consequences physically, psychically and spiritually; and the forces connected with it are used for abnormal purposes only in the foulest practices of sorcery, the inevitable result of which is moral death—the annihilation of the individuality.”
― James Morgan Pryse, The Apocalypse Unsealed

“Sex magick existed before Crowley. It is quite ancient, having been observed by Gnostic and Tantric practitioners, and later by the pagan (indigenous) pre-Christian peoples of Europe.”
― Laurence Galian, 666: Connection with Crowley

“We cannot fall into the trap of separating our sexuality from spirituality. Witchcraft in particular is decidedly carnal in nature, and the power that it offers is just as legitimate for us as for anyone else.”
― Storm Faerywolf, The Satyr's Kiss: Queer Men, Sex Magic & Modern Witchcraft

“A gator smile past happy hour;
eyes above the filth of truth
Judging me from his sex swamp,
oh, this cold blood bleeds power
All dead at the kissing booth;
mirrored reptile tail-swing stomp”
― Casey Renee Kiser, Altered States of the Unflinching Souls
