The Schrecks have put together an interesting compendium of information. None of it is original, it is mostly cobbled together from others’ ideas. Also they do not name their actual sources. Although they have a long bibliography, their actual sources, e.g. the works of Anton LaVey, Michael Aquino, and the seminal books CARNAL ALCHEMY and LORDS OF THE LEFT-HAND PATH are not mentioned in the bibliogrpahy (although they seem to be the actual background of their work). Why? The book’s ok, but the actual sources might be even more interesting.

This is a very good book on Sex Magic and Satanism. This is not a book for everyone, for instance, it is Satanic, and some people have an axe to grind against poor Mr. Satan. But if Satan is your friend,as he is mine, then this is the book for you.
However, hard core occultist may not find much new in these pages, but for the novice it is great.

This beautifully produced Creation Books edition is a revolutionary classic of sexual self-initiation. The long awaited guide to the Left Hand Path’s sexmagickal side is as thorough & definitive as we would expect from Nikolas and Zeena Schreck, the Demonic Duo who have been pushing the envelope of the black arts for years. One thing this must-have “Sexcronomicon” makes crystal clear in its fascinating journey through the theory practice & history of the Sinister Current in the East and West is that the Left Hand Path is really inseparable from sex magick. Rare among the few Western books available on this subject is the Schrecks’ focus on the importance of the Demonic Feminine to the Left Hand Path, something this demonic female really appreciated! DEMONS OF THE FLESH describes itself as a sex magickal ritual and deliberately reflects the united male and female perspectives of the authors. This unique approach adds a seriousness of purpose that is lacking in many magical books, despite the Schrecks’ often humorous take on reality. Despite some of the sensational topics covered such as magical S and M, sex vampirism, sacred prostitution & the darker side of erotic magick in general, the authors handle the material with an obvious understanding of the sacred nature of sexuality. Also unique is the authors’ explanation of how every religion (including Christianity & Buddhism) has its secret Left Hand Path and the Schrecks’ surprising dismissal of the overrated A. Crowley and modern Satanism as irrelevant to the authentic Sinister Current. Not afraid to spell out the radical formula of how sinister initiates must break the taboos of society, then their own taboos on the way to higher states of mind, DEMONS OF THE FLESH has become a controversial work in more conservative occult circles. Of particular use for practical magicians is the section on forming your own Left Hand Path group, which is obviously informed by the Schrecks’ own experience in this field. Written with authority and expertise and bringing to light many previously unexplored areas of sinister sex magic, the Schrecks don’t talk down to their readers, so my only caveat would be that this may be a better book for more advanced magicians than beginners. The extensive bibliography is a treasure trove for the serious student of Left Hand Path Sex Magic. The illustrations are a sensuous delight. It’s the complete guide alright, but I’m already waiting for the sequel.

This groundbreaking, comprehensive, exhaustively researched, and well-written study goes much further than any other book I’ve ever read on this subject in providing accurate practical knowledge on the totally misunderstood area of Left Hand Path initiation and sex magick. Its promise to be the ‘Complete Guide’ to this area is more than fulfilled in its 400 pages of insightful text. The Schrecks draw on decades of real life experience in making the mystery that surrounds this sinister subject clear. After an introductory ‘Foreplay’ that sets the Schreck’s irreverent and iconoclastic tone, the book is divided into 3 sections. Book One, The Sinister Current in the East, explains how the Left Hand Path began in the tantric practices of India, revealing the most radical methods of erotic magic that are so commonly distorted by politically correct New Age forms of tantra in the West. The Schreck’s 5 point explanation of the essential principles of the Left Hand Path is the most accurate and useful attempt at describing the basic defining methods of this kind of spirituality I’ve ever seen, admirably sticking to historical fact instead of the occult gameplaying you find so much of in magical books. Book Two, The Sinister Current in the West, starts out with a practical glossary of magical terms, and gets into such previously ignored topics as the possibility that Jesus Christ was a Left Hand Path sex magician, the topic of sacred prostitution and the cult of Babylon. The Schrecks cover the Left Hand Path sexual teachings of such well-known magical teachers and groups …Book Three, The Sinister Current In Action, guides the reader through such topics as magical masturbation, sexual deprogramming, the selection of sex partners for magical purposes, homosexuality in the Left Hand Path, orgies, sadomasoschism, and even intercourse with incubi and succubi. The use of this section extends beyond sex magic alone and works as a practical primer for magical theory in general. This section moves far from the old traditions of occultism, citing … eclectic sources … and drawing on scientific sexology as well as more mystical resources. The Schreck’s lead us through the history, theory and practice of Left Hand Path sex magic with a refreshing sense of humor and a skeptical critique of the gullibility of occultism in general. What also makes this different than any other book on the topic I’ve read is the authors scholarly research and concentration on exploding the many myths and errors that previous books claiming to illuminate the Left Hand Path have helped to spread. The book is enlivened by many rare illustrations, some of which I’ve never seen before. Highly recommended.

I was hoping for more, but I found I got the usual dreck from the Schrecks. There is nothing of their own from this, only information that anyone could find by using a good search engine … They also tend to focus on the more abhorant, fetishistic sexual behaviours such as the consuming of bodily excreta while presenting it in a dry, uninspired tone. It looks like the Schrecks have used either themselves or one of their cronies to write the first review which waxes far more poetically than the text of the book.
