Breeding Devils in Chaos: The United Rite
“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
An in-depth exploration of queer male witchcraft building from British Traditional Witchcraft while acknowledging its prejudiced homophobic and heterocentric roots.
Davisson has created a unique work combining the influences of Oscar Wilde, Aleister Crowley, William S. Burroughs, and Michel Foucault to inform the creation of a truly queer male practice.
Split into three parts, Breeding Devils delves deeply into the history of heathen praxis “Plowing the Field,” sets the groundwork for a post-modern Wicca “Sowing the Seeds,” and offers a book of mysteries “The Goodman’s Croft.”
One early reader described Davisson’s work as “expansive.” He reaches back into British pre-history and weaves is such modern topics as chaos magic and the rise of queer activism to provide a deep reference work for queer male witches.
The United Rite is a Louisiana-based non-profit organization whose mission is to explore the queer male mysteries. For more information visit: https://www.unitedrite.org
“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
