Contrary to popula notion, the only time of outieht war during the Crusades was in the time of Saladin (1174-1195), Sultan of Syria, who determinedly fought the Crusader. Even in is time there were periods of truce with one order—the more cikzed Knights Temp Onder—and at times there was even Traterizing with the cnemy Arabs. Many of the Templar of higher rank were Initiated inthe then very secret Arabian Order, the Sufi. ‘They thus became inated members of the sanctum of Sex Magick. Here is the beginning of real Wester Sex Magick. From the days of the crusading Templars to thie day, these secrets have been Kept inviolate, even though the Chureh.

INTRODUCTION TO THE THREE DEGREES OF SEX MAGICK Unprsjudied and informed people are not inclined to deny. the physiologeal 4tivty. of what specialists cll “erotopenesis of love and religion”, It seems silly to deny the operation of whats called a mechani, but this isnot to say that love and religion do not have their own prior existence in tho psyche. Such psychiatrists as Reich and Jang teat this existence very extensively or one year Ihave been racking my brain for 3 good exemplar in which there exist two individuals involved in both erotogenic love and a very real love that transoonds senualy generated Tove, Ihave found one, but itis fist rnecessry to give some preliminary explanations. There was an aging doctor ling in Pennsylvania who felt very deeply about the impending extinction of the Great Gray Wolf of the North-west He decided to have & wolf refuge on his farm. Indeed, the lobo i: no longer ‘numerous and it was only after much time and expense that he hada colony of a dozen wolves. The wolves Were ‘not closely confined hey were ins lng fenced aes. Tae nature of the lobo i very biss. One outstanding characteristic is that they ae very selective in choosing mate. To resort to a common expression, they must fll in Tove perforce erotopenic love, because itis between (0 of the opposite sex. And they mate for ie ‘When the doctor saw that (Wo of his woles had 56 A MANUAL OF SEX MAGICK accepted each other as mates and had mated, he put them nan enclosure separate from the other wolves. Geiting enough to eat i lifelong problem ofthe wol When wolves se an animal that has fallen tothe ground or |s crippled, the immediate instinct to kill for food i overpowering even if the belly & full. This drive 50 Powerful that the wolf x not detered by any other thing Now it s0 happened that the good doctor and the male wolf were in great mutual affection-that kind of Ive Which [have Both known and seen betwee a man ands og, where the dog seems to regard the man as God and the man regards the dog as a gift from God. Ths ove can be as deep asthe love Between two human beings and any person who says it cannot be, is mie from knowing what he is talking about. The doctor had not achieved the same rapport with the female wolf; she remained skitish and aloof, The doctor and his woes had gsined wide publicity and there ha been an extensive account about him in Life ‘magazine, in which he tells the following story ‘While he was in the enclosure ofthe two mated wolves, he stumbled and fll prostate to the ound. On one side he si the female crouched, ready for the spring, and he ‘thought, “Is this going to be the end of me?” On the other side he Saw the mal, aleady leaping and in the st. Then Ihe sald to hime "My God! This is my death for certain.” But the male had leped ovr the doctor and had ‘thrown its fll 150 pounds onto its mate, and had knocked it prostrate “This isthe exemplar where itis shown that real lov far transcends mere sexual love.
