THE COSMIC EMBRACE: An Illustrated Guide to Sacred Sex Ref: RED747

John Stevens

Here is a survey, through art from around the world, of the sacred dimension of sexuality. It demonstrates beyond a doubt that the notion of sexual relationships as something honorable, nonpossessive, fulfilling, and beneficial is nothing new, nor is the idea limited to the traditions of the mystic East. John Stevens shows how world sexual traditions have always had the spiritual as their highest goal. His survey looks at art from China, India, Native American traditions, ancient Europe, Japan, the South Pacific, Southeast Asia, Tibet, Greece, Africa, and Mexico, as well as art by modern artists from Eric Gill to John Lennon.

SACRED SEXUALITY Ref: RFD587

A T Mann & Jane Lyle

In many ancient faiths sexuality was the ultimate sacred act.

Tantric Buddhist beliefs also see sexuality as sacred, life-affirmative and as a precious source of vital energy. This richly illustrated book delves into these ancient traditions and mysteries, providing a fascinating antidote to the repressions and gender divisions in modern society.
