Sacred Sex

Sacred Sex – Andrew Topsfield

The Sacred Symbols Series: An inspirational and innovative series that explores the signs and symbols of different cultures and civilizations. Accessible and informative, these books are the perfect introduction to the ancient, universal wisdoms of mankind.

The linking of spirituality and sexuality is as old as the human race itself. Evidence from many different cultures suggests that we have always found in the visual expression of sex a means of symbolizing the great conflicting forces of the universe. From creation myths to explanations of the heavens, from the delicate rendering of the Taoist artists of the sexual act as a symbol of cosmic balance to the brutal assertions of male power in Celtic statuary, this engaging book leads us through a multiplicity of beliefs and religions to a better understanding of the world’s greatest mysteries.
