Description
Rosaleen Norton was known in Australia as 'the Witch of Kings Cross' during the 1950s and early 1960s. Her magical paintings and drawings were often portrayed as obscene, but she also attracted attention for her involvement in pagan sex-rituals with her lover, Gavin Greenlees. Norton's magical practice was dedicated to the Great God Pan and other deities, drawing on elements of Kundalini yoga, out-of-the-body trance exploration, and Aleister Crowley's Thelemic sex magick. Her life became embroiled in controversy when she associated with renowned musical conductor Eugene Goossens. This biography provides the most detailed account of Norton's magical beliefs and practices, shedding light on her unique spiritual path. First published in Britain in 1993, it is now reissued in a revised and expanded edition.
