As muse, sorceress, and Valkyrie, she guides the mans development and tests his resolve. She converses through dreams, bestows poetry and prophecy, and initiates spiritual transformation through sexual encounters.Angel Millar explores this magical relationship by drawing upon ancient Greek and Zoroastrian traditions, Scandinavian Eddas and sagas, and Chaucers tale of the Wife of Bath. Millar traces evidence of the supernatural womans presence in fine art, ancient sexual symbolism, Wicca, Freemasonry, and psychologymost notably Jungs theory of the anima and animus and Freuds life and death instincts.Comparing sexual ecstasy and the mystical state, Millar reveals the unique role of ecstasy in magical and spiritual practice. Bringing in feminine perspectives on this radical transformation, he looks at the religious eroticism of St. Teresa and 13th-century English Christian mystic Margery Kempe as well as Aleister Crowleys Lust tarot card, illustrated by Lady Frieda Harris.
