{"product_id":"karezza-arthur-versluis-9781596500051","title":"Karezza: A Guide to Sexual Mysticism, Magic, and Creativity","description":"Alice Bunker Stockham (1833-1912) was one of the first female M.D.s in the United States. In her remarkable _Karezza_, she develops her theory of secular sexual mysticism in relation to human creativity. In this seminal book of Stockham, we see a particularly American kind of pragmatic esoteric praxis. An important figure in the history of sexual mysticism, Stockham insisted that the practice of karezza, a special kind of sexual union, was a key to mysticism, magic, and creativity. Like John Humphrey Noyes before her, like William James, and like the later American pioneers of consciousness in the second half of the twentieth century, Stockham was concerned not only with results and effects for the individual, but also with the potential transformation of the whole of human society.Introduced by Arthur Versluis, author of several dozen books, many on mysticism or esoteric religious or literary traditions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Arthur Versluis, Alice Bunker Stockham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1596500050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781596500051\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Grail Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 88\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.28lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.18d","brand":"Arthur Versluis","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43983376318719,"sku":"9781596500051","price":17.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a6c4689d-894b-47dd-a923-0735e4e0a334.jpg?v=1683266274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/karezza-arthur-versluis-9781596500051","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
