Sex and the Occult is a vivid, realistic picture of the sensual, cruel and sometimes terrifying beliefs and practices which have influence the lives of millions in the past and continue to do so in some countries today. Sex and occultism have always enjoyed an irresistible attraction for one another, and their union has provided some of the most colorful and tragic chapters in the story of mankind.With the decline of the great pagan cultures, Christianity sparked off a bitter controversy between the cult of sexuality as honorable and pleasing to the gods, and the debasement of sex itself as evil. But today, thanks to the advent of greater sexual freedom and an upsurge of interest in the occult, the bond between sex and occultism has been strengthened once again.Gordon Wellesley examines afresh ancient practices of the sexual-occult and shows that today's tendencies towards sexual freedom, meditation, an appreciations of music in the higher decibels, and the intake of drugs, in particular LSD, herald the return of a very old morality. Contemporary counterparts can be found for succubi-female demons who make love with sleeping mortals, incubi-evil spirits that descend like nightmares upon people during sleep, even werewolves and suchlike sado-sexual creatures of the night. Black and white magic survive today, too and are practised by people from all walks of life throughout the world. Then there is the extraordinary phenomenon of sexual transcendency, which emerges in SEX AND THE OCCULT as the meeting-point of the traditional occult with the broader thinking of the seventies.Throughout his investigations the author throws new light on the age-old notion of sexual-occultism by bringing it in line with the most up-to-date philosophies and scientific research. Clearly explained, the co-relation of such factors as a new understanding of transcendency )trance and ecstasy), recent research into 'cellular memories' revealing evidence of pre-human existences, and spectacular advances in molecular genetics unveiling the working of the DNA code in sexual reproduction, provides new answer to some of the oldest and most intriguing questions related to the sexual-occult.

Nearly twenty years ago the present writer, rummaging through the attic of Carpenters' Hall in Philadelphia, came across an old wooden packing box containing some copies of the Company's 1786 price book titled "Articles and Rules." Because it is almost unknown and yet of potential value to modern historians, it is being published again, in facsimile format. There is no mystery about its scarcity: the little volume had been in its own time highly restricted as a trade secret. Any member showing it to outsiders was liable to expulsion and when he died, the Company promptly called on the widow for his copy. Even Thomas Jefferson, writing from Charlottesville, was unable to obtain one as late as 1817. This rare work will be of interest to students of the American building industry for which early literature of any kind is uncommon. As far as is known, it is the first illustrated price book exclusively about carpentry, and the facsimile reprint is here named "The Rules of Work of the Carpenters' Company of the City and County of Philadelphia, 1786, with the Original Copper Plate Illustrations."
