Thelemic Sutras.

NP [ USA ]: Birdland Communications / Component Spaces Division, 1998. First Edition. Large format softcover. Quarto ( 8.5 x 11 inches). xi + 154pp, ii. Black cloth tape spine, flexible clear plastic front cover over white cover sheet illustrated in black, black textured rear card cover. One of three volumes in the "Thelemic Series" by Paul Joseph Rovelli, a musician and prolific writer on occutism in general and Thelema and the Qabalah in specific, who published widely, including in well-knwon journals like "Mezlim", "Tarot News" etc. By his own account he joined the O.T.O. in 1986, but left it in the early 1990s, and was for a time active in H.O.O.R. (The Holy Order Of RaHoorKhuit) before founding his own esoteric order, now known as The Gnostic Church of L.V.X. According to the Introduction this work is "an attempt to modernize and update the Kama Sutra along Thelemic lines and in the light of contemporary western cultural wisdom." It thus deals largely with sex magick, sex and spirituality, and Thelemic perspectives on sexuality. From the collection of Clive Harper with his discreet book-label neatly tipped in at the rear. Harper is well- known as the bibliographer of Austin Osman Spare, for updating the Aleister Crowley bibliography in the 2011 Teitan Press collection of Gerald Yorke's writings, and as someone who has lent his expertise to numerous other publications. Just a hint of shelfwear, NOTE the text pages are bound upside down from page 29 to end of text (presumably an unintentional binding fault) but the volume is complete, and otherwise a tight, bright clean copy.
