by Sven Davisson (Author)
"A real tour de force of sorcerous art. This book reveals a deep history of the roots of chaos magic, whilst also drawing on the author's practical experience in the rich environs of New Orleans. It weaves together a breathtaking array of occult philosophy, and is close to a call to arms for a revolutionary, artistic-history, and practice of queer magic." -Lee Morgan, author of A Deed Without a Name and The Gusty Deep
"I'm just in awe. This is such an exquisite work, I can't put it down." -A Seeker
RE-QUEERING THE MALE MYSTERIES
In Breeding Devils in Chaos, Sven Davisson delves into the enigmatic realms of traditional witchcraft, infusing them with a postmodern and requeered perspective. The book navigates the intricate landscapes of male mysteries, offering a provocative exploration that challenges heteronormative notions. Through Davisson's lens, ancient practices are reimagined, inviting readers into a world where tradition intersects with contemporary understanding, enriching the discourse on witchcraft and masculinity.
Divided into three distinct sections, Breeding Devils explores the rich tapestry of heathen praxis in "Plowing the Field," lays the foundations for a post-modern interpretation of Wicca in
"Sowing the Seeds," and unveils a treasury of enigmatic secrets in "The Goodman's Croft." Praised as "expansive" by an early reader, Davisson's work intricately intertwines British pre-history with contemporary themes like chaos magic and the emergence of queer activism, offering a comprehensive reference for queer male witches that spans across time and tradition.
"The bastard lovechild of William Burroughs and Aleister Crowley-or was he spawned of an orgy involving Rajneesh, Pan, Ginsberg, Foucault, and a dozen or so of Burroughs's North African wild boys? Davisson's vision is a rich distillation of subversive thought. Tribal, mythic, punk and anarchic, Davisson is a serious thinker with the spirit of a mischievous sprite." -Trebor Healey author of Sweet Son of Pan
"An incredibly versatile religious scholar with a unique mind and equally complex personality..." -Raul Canizares author of Cuban Santeria: Walking with the Night
"Sven Davisson's work is erotic, haunting, spiritual and unafraid to take chances." -Emanuel Xavier author of Americano and Christ-Like
