Paperback. Condición: New. This first scholarly work on Randolph includes the full text of his two most important manuscripts on sexual magic.This is the fascinating story of Paschal Beverly Randolph, an African American who carved his own eccentric path in the mid-nineteenth century from the slums of New York's Five Points to the courts of Europe, where he performed as a spiritualist trance medium. Although self-educated, he became one of the first Black American novelists and took a leading part in raising Black soldiers for the Union army and in educating Freedmen in Louisiana during the Civil War. His enduring claim to fame, however, is the crucial role he played in the transformation of spiritualism, a medium's passive reception of messages from the spirits of the dead, into occultism, the active search for personal spiritual realization and inner vision.From his experiences in his solitary travels in England, France, Egypt and the Turkish Empire in the 1850s and 1860s, he brought back to America a system of occult beliefs and practices (the magic mirror, hashish use and sexual magic) that worked a revolution. The systems of magic he taught left their traces on many subsequent occultists, including Madame Blavatsky and her Theosophical Society, and are still practiced today by several occult organizations in Europe and American that carry on his work. This is the fist scholarly work on Randolph and includes the full text of his two most important manuscript works on sexual magic.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. First edition. Large octavo. 607pp. Illustrated. Frontispiece portrait of Randolph. Glossy illustrated boards. Fine, issued without dustjacket. The first full length biography of Randolph (1825-1875), who had a profound influence and impact on the American occult scene. Long before Aleister Crowley and Wilhelm Reich, Randolph knew, taught, and practiced rituals using sexual energies to channel the forces of nature. Included are chapters on his early life, the development of his occult philosophy, his meetings and feuds with Madame Blavatsky, and appendices on his sex magic. From the Epilogue: "Randolph was learned, brilliant, and charming - and also, as everyone recognized, singular, eccentric, proud, prickly, suspicious, and even paranoid at times. He was a black man who tried with considerable success to succeed in a white world and did do so on his own terms rather than as the merely symbolical Black Man erected by the forces of organized reform. In the world of spiritualism and occultism his was a revolutionary role, and he was truly the precursor of American occultism." The first edition is remarkably uncommon.
