Join occultist and author Julian Vayne for an illuminating exploration of the magical uses of sex, pleasure, and the body across cultures and centuries. From the ancient fertility cults of Europe and India to the experimental frontiers of Thee Temple ov Psychick Youth and Chaos Magic, this two week class expires eroticism as a potent current of spiritual power, a force capable of dissolving dualities, transforming consciousness, and awakening the divine within the flesh.
Drawing on his experience as an initiate of AMOOKOS, The Arcane Magical Order of the Knights of Shambhala—a Thelemic-Tantric order that bridges Eastern and Western esoteric lineages—Julian traces a living current of practice that celebrates embodiment as the very ground of illumination. Rooted in the ninth-century Nath tradition of India and infused with the radical individualism of Thelema, this lineage honours the body as both vessel and revelation.
Through myth, history, and contemporary practice, Julian considers how polarity, queer identity, and body modification have each served as vehicles for magical and mystical insight. From the sacred androgyny of Tantric deities and alchemy to the gender-bending saints and sorcerers of the West, we encounter a liberating current that transcends binaries and celebrates the body as both temple and talisman.
This class will constitute a candid, inclusive journey through the mysteries of pleasure as prayer, eroticism as invocation, and the transformative potential of desire. Drawing on meditation, breath, and visualization, we will explore internal sex-magical methods from Hindu Tantra and Taoist Internal Alchemy, as well as approaches emerging from twentieth- and twenty-first-century Occulture.
Julian Vayne is a British independent scholar and author with over four decades of experience within esoteric culture, a senior member of the Magical Pact of the Illuminates of Thanateros, he is widely recognized as one of Britain’s leading occultists.
