The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar: Shamanic sexual healing and sex magic
The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar lays out in detail how shamanic sex has been used, throughout history, to prepare pharaohs, kings, tsars and sultans for Sovereignty. It is a spiritual technique that leads alchemically to a superior intelligence and self-empowerment, which is a direct result of interacting with beings who inhabit a parallel universe to this one – another dimension – from whom man has traditionally gained his knowledge about his place and purpose on Earth and in the cosmos.
In ancient times, the ability to tap into this superior wisdom through sacred sex magic was transmitted to rulers by a cuen or hierodule , one who was in touch with these extra-dimensional beings or life forms also known as the spirits.
It was understood by the wise sages of ancient times that Sovereignty is an actual magical force that arises from the spirits of the land, otherwise known as the Fae, the Gentry, the Sidhe or the Faeries, who are of an Elder and wiser race which inhabits a timeless zone within the parallel dimensions. So the ignition of this shamanic force gave the rulers of antiquity the power of Sovereignty over the land through firing up their higher brain centres, leading to the generation of wisdom and enlightenment and thus the ability and the right to reign.
In this book, you will also learn how to benefit from sacred shamanic sex today. The cuen did not need to wear a crown on her head because she was already Bright-browed; her inner crown was already sparkling with the gold of the Sun making love with the diamond light of the Moon. Nor she did not require any anointing from the Archbishop of Canterbury because her innermost elixirs were already flowing like honeyed nectars throughout her whole being.
The cuen was a shaman-type skilled in evoking and awakening the two energetic serpents which, during sexual intercourse, would rise and interweave up through the human body, just as they do on a caduceus, to create the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon. These two serpents were known to those who practised the Indian form of the rite, known as tantra, as Ida and Pingala. The ancient Egyptians believed that one serpent was black and the other gold. Sacred sex rites were what inspired the erotic poetry of the Sumerians and Babylonians, and the Song of Solomon in the Old Testament.
Whatever the different names and belief systems that used such diverse imagery to describe this process, it is important to realise it is not an imaginary visualisation but a real physiological experience in which the Other Worlds break through into this one, and it is still practised today.
As a shaman and mythologist, Annie Dieu-Le-Veut is in regular communion with the spirits of the Land. In this second edition The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar , originally published five years ago, she lays out a way for the spiritual seeker to learn how to visit these other dimensions, so that they can learn about sex magic from their own spirit guides.
She gently guides the reader, first by helping them to form their own the cognitive foundation stone for this practice by learning about the evidence – from ancient Greece, Egypt, Crete, India, Sumer and Babylon – that shows sacred sex was once an integral part of kingship rites. She also explains the meaning of the Faery Marriage, known to alchemists as the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon, which finds it resonance in Christian mysticism and the stories about the Holy Grail.
And finally Annie shows you how to practice these simple techniques yourself, in order to walk the well-trodden, ancient path towards enlightenment in your own life today.

I write books on shamanism, Celtic mythology, astrology, alchemy, Earth magic, Sovereignty magic, the Grail Mysteries and sacred sexuality.
I also decode ancient myths to show how they are actually the vessels or arks of our ancestors sailing the seas of Time and containing, deep in their submarinal holds, precious messages about our innate holographic relationship to eternal astrological and alchemical cycles which drive each of us along our life’s path.
* Stories in the Stars : What our Ancestors Were Trying to Tell Us
* The Grail Mysteries : Sovereignty and Sex Magic
* Reclaiming Sovereignty : Shamanic Earth Magic
* The Bright World of the Gods : A True Faery Tale from the Mists of Avalon
I've been a practising shaman for about 20 years, and I live at the foot of Glastonbury Tor where I continue to write under the inspiration of the Fae folk, who live alongside us here.

I enjoyed this book, the exercises are few, which is perfect as the true nature of any practice is less rather than more, and if those are done daily and diligently, one should be quite enlightened!

I am in shock at how terrible this book is. I went in expecting to learn about - get this - the historical practice of sex rites within the worship of the goddess Ishtar. Crazy to assume this book *might* talk about that, right? 🙃
I am not sure how to say how dangerous books like this are to the occult. This book is not well researched, it is mostly conspiracy theory ranting. The Illuminati, random calculations of numbers equalling the sizes of random things somehow meaning something, and “the elite” and what they don’t want you to know” are thrown around casually in the midst of commentary of everything from Alfred the Great to Greek mythology (pretty much everything but Ishtar.) Then she throws in 4 pages of how to make a tincture, just because, I guess? If you’re getting a headache, then you’re getting the experience reading this book was.
The book is very poorly written, it doesn't mention Ishtar for more than half of it and when she does, it's poor translations of Sumerian poetry very minimally analyzed, and analyzed with bold assumptions. The translations seemed to have been changed based on the sexualization the author wanted to push.
She also equates Egyptian beliefs and the beliefs of shamans like herself with what the Sumerians believed and did, which is so dangerous. Her authority on this comes from her spirit guides - not research, education, or even good sources. She cites herself, and when I say "cites" it’s that she mentions her other book as her own source for this information. She doesn't use footnotes or a works cited page correctly. She has entire pages copy and pasted from other authors.
She ends every chapter with, "so in this chapter I have explained how..." even though she went on wild tangents and didn't even explain what the purpose supposedly was, and any good writer does not say sentences like that.
The hilarious part were the ridiculous claims about history and historical figures, like Alfred the Great performed druidry, Einstein believed in auric fields, black holes are made up, Shakespeare was writing allegories for alchemy and in fact every romantic comedy in history was too, and most disturbingly, she does a lot of us vs. them discussions on Jewish people and their beliefs, as well as science, as if no one reading this would be able to reconcile themselves to a middle ground or both sides having validity. The otherization of Jewish people was disgusting.
I haven't read a book this disorganized and pointless in a very long time. It had nothing at all to do with Ishtar and was frankly angering. This is why people don’t take occult studies seriously, drivel like this.

Not worth the read
If I wanted to read other books by the author I would buy them and not have them referenced in almost every chapter just to get more information.
