Sex, Drugs & Magick: A Journey Beyond Limits

by Robert Anton Wilson

On This Page

Description

Sex, drugs and magick are fascinating and dangerous subjects in these times. When put together, they are absolute dynamite! Originally published by Playboy Press, this book can be considered a "scholarly" appraisal of both the historical and modern use (and misuse) of drugs in conjunction with sex and "occult" practices. But don't let the word "scholarly" put you off. Done in Wilson's inimitable style, this book is filled with humour, cynicism, wonder and essential information for those who show more would pursue what can be an immensely rewarding path, potholed with an array of social and physical dangers. show less

This book cannot hope to end the perennial quarrel between the conservative Establishment and the adventurous young. All I reasonable can try to accomplish here, in treating mostly the sexual aspect of the drug revolution, is to shed some light on these "benign thoroughly charming even glorious" aspects of the alternative programs and alternative perceptions that certain drugs create. This should at least give the ordinary reader some insight into the motives od thos3 who subscribe to the drug revolution, which is hardly the insane scramble for self-destruction portrayed by it's most hostile critics.
