The book is well written and the author clearly knows what she is writing about. The book was very intriguing and covers embodying a/the dynamic sexual force if you will via the power of sachem. It is about a practice of ancient Egypt and the raising Kudalini which is what made it intriguing to me. If you looking to improve your sextural being and have an open mind it would be worth a read. However, if that is not really your thing you might want to stick with another book.

The book, while interesting, was dense. The author provided a lot of complex ideas that could have been broken down further in to small points. I will try to give it another read.

While I love Egyptian mythology and architecture, I found this book a bit too heavy a read. I can totally see why it would be great for people looking for a spiritual sexual experience, but not really for me.

The Magical Sexual Practice of Ancient Egypt by Judy Hall
Book Review by Dawn Thomas

200 Pages
Publisher: John Hunt Publishing / O-Books
Release Date: May 31, 2019

Egyptian, Rituals, Soulmates, Erotica, Religion and Spirituality

This is a companion book to The Alchemy of Night novel. It goes into detail of the ancient and modern rituals of the mystical marriage and joining your soulmate or twinflame. The author discusses the importance of the number three and establishing patterns. She recommends having focused intention, finely tuned aspiration and a honed imagination. She also suggests keeping a magical journal while working through the alchemical process.

The book has several instructions and rituals for the reader to follow to complete The Alchemy of Night. The first sets show the reader how to ground themselves and clear the chakras. A second set is to become one with the Higher Self. The final sets join the twinflames together and perform the mystical marriage. There are different perspectives for each chapter from ancient to modern. There is an appendix with recommendations for specific crystals to use along with how to clean, activate and maintain the crystals.

This is an interesting book to read. I enjoyed reading the different perspectives for the rituals. If you are interested in the customs of ancient Egypt, this would be a great addition to your library.

While I love Judy Hall, this wasn't quite my cup of tea. I found it too hard to focus on for long enough periods of time to really absorb it.

I could not really get into this book. I really do not want to give it a bad rating so I will give it the stars. Just not my kind of book. But others may like it.

I found this book very hard to read and was unable to finish it though I tried several times thank you

3.5 stars

An Interesting and unusal book. The Author does state that each section is in three parts but I only really enjoyed the last two sections each time. I chose to read it as I am also reading The Alchemy of the night and hoped it would aid in the understanding of that fiction book. I've previously enjoyed Judy Hall's astrology and crystal books but this didn't really chime with me.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This book contains an explanation of the sexual practice of ancient Egypt, raising kundalini and embodying the dynamic, sexual force, that is the Power of Sekhem, the magical sexual secrets hidden for centuries. Most of us can /may agree that sex is one of the most potent forces in the universe and can be harnessed to give one the best experience and greatest orgasm. If you are interested in this sort of thing, this is the book for you. For others like me, the book provided interesting and thoughtful insights and a good education in this area, but not much else. The book works with her companion book, The Alchemy of Night, which I also read and reviewed. The book unlocks secrets that this later book uses as a basis for its plot. However, the book is rather explicit and may not be for everyone. I previously had no idea that the ancient Egyptians were into this, so found that whole aspect enlightening and interesting. If you are looking for something that provides a different read, want to more fully understand and appreciate The Alchemy of Night or are into this sort of thing, this is just the book for you. As I said, it did not grab me, but, when I began, I really had no idea what the book was really going to focus on, and I am also not into this sort of thing. I received this from NetGalley to read and review.

Although an intriguing topic from an author I normally enjoy, this was hard to get into. I may attempt it again at a later date.

This was too complicated and disjointed to follow. I couldn't get past the fifth chapter. I am not sure any information is really in there, just stories...

A step-by-step guide to raising the Kundalini and embodying the dynamic sexual force that is the Power of Sachem. Not really my type of book but Judy Hall seems to k ow what she is talking about. I think I must be too much of a prude for this type of book.

I would like to thank NetGalley, John Hunt Publishing Ltd and the author Judy Hall for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This is an interesting perspective on the historical sexual practices of ancient Egypt. Studying various forms of sex magick as well as finding Egyptian history fascinating, I would recommend this book.

This book was a bit slow to start with due to them setting the background for the works and where all of the information has come from. However I found the book a fascinating read especially to anyone who is interested in Egypt

A interesting read and I probably won't try the instructions in the book, but still interesting to read. The author has well researched the subject and the book is well written.

Very informative and I can I truly enjoyed it! I voluntarily read this book via NetGalley in exchange for my honest opinion.

A great book for anyone interested in spiritualism and history. I loved reading about the ancient Egyptian practises, the magic of sex. Hall made this feel approachable, and intriguing.

I have read about this topic for years, Ancient Egypt and sex magic used today. It explains how to raise power by using the magic of sex. This book has helpful resources that can be used in today's world. Crystals are used to open the Chakras during throughout. The book explains the best times to have sex with mind blowing orgasms. This can be accomplished worth a same sex partner of by yourself. It is explicit and may not be for everyone. I voluntarily read this book for a honest review. Thanks to Net Galley and John Hunt Publishing.

The main inspiration for this book seems to be derived from the works of an African/American esotericism and medium called Paschal Beverley Randolph, who lived on the Nineteenth Century. I cannot either endorse or dispute the scholarship behind the ideas put forward here - at the time he is said to have been considered bold for being so explicit about his ideas forvsexual alchemy.
Apparently the ancient Egyptian adepts of this path believed that monogamy was important for this kind of sexual soul work, in which the chakras are slowly opened and, as with tantra, orgasm delayed until the energy at the base of the spine, kundalini, has infused all of the chakras.
Unlike the case with similar sytems from India, however, The Egyptian system is said here to recognise extra chakras at the base of the feet, as well as some places above the head. In addition, the Egyptians recognised several components of the human soul in addition to the more well-known Ka and Ba. This was important not only for their burial practises, but for their sexual alchemy mysteries too. According to this book, it was important for them not just to seek an ideal twin soul partner and to reach ecstasy together: the aim was for each individual to enjoy communion with their immortal component soul and beyond that still, with the ground of crestion: this was the sacred marriage.
For those who also entertain such lofty aspirations to their love among, the author of this book, Judy Hall, prescribes crystals to go with each chakra as they are opened, with a commentary on each of the original instructions. Judy Hall makes it clear that she does believe in the efficacy of repetition.
Rituals are also given for cutting the (karmic) ties that bind in any relationship that is past its sell-by date. The Egyptians may have believed that an original soul union might span incarnations to come, but it seems even they recognised when it might be time to move on.
The rest would be up to the reader, to decide how far to take any of this

You know you will get a good understanding of the subject that Judy Hall is covering, as she is a well versed author on many spiritual customs, ancient practices, crystal meanings, uses and talismans.
