P. B. Randolph - Magia Sexualis - 1972

Paschal Beverly Randolph (New York, 1825–1875) was a very controversial African American physician, occultist, Spiritist medium, and Rosicrucian. In 1858 he founded the Fraternitas Rosae Crucis, according to A. E. Waite, the first Rosicrucian order in the United States. His work Magia sexualis caused quite a stir. Praised to the heavens by some, and denigrated by others. In any case, he was a pioneer of sexual magic and of sexual alchemy. He had met Eliphas Levi in Paris, and Levi taught him about Saint‑Germain’s magical mirrors. Levi is said to have entrusted him with writing books. Abraham Lincoln would have been very impressed by Randolph, but this may have related to his pronounced social philosophy. This may relate to his theory that African Americans in the United States would be exterminated and would be better off emigrating to India. Or also because he was a vocal abolitionist and taught freed slaves to read and write. Although he died at age 49, he left humanity a legacy that is not undisputed, but certainly interesting and innovative. The book we offer here is by far his most famous publication, with theory and exercises in sexual magic. According to him, sexual magic would not only benefit health, but also be good for creating a superior offspring.
