We welcome back to the program T Allen Greenfield to discuss his two most recent books - “Inquisition In 21st Century America” and “Victorian Fire: The Origins of Sexual Magick“. “Inquisition In 21st Century America” is Dr. Greenfield’s description of his personal experiences with regard to expulsion from a “magickal order of antiquity“. We discuss how this book has subsequently been censored and is no longer available from the publisher, as well as the idea of censorship and free speech in a larger context. Described as “the essence of 19th century sexual magick under one cover”, “Victorian Fire” details the story of the (re)emergence of sex magick into a somewhat more public environment. One individual that we talk about who is integral to this history is Dr. Paschal Beverly Randolph. These ideas, according to Dr. Greenfield, can be reliably traced back to before the dawn of civilization as we currently understand it. relevant links: Smashing Illusions - Dr. Greenfield’s Livejournal Dr. Greenfield’s email Assembly of the Knowledge and Wisdom of Solomon “Allen H.
