What reading level is Sexuality, Magic And Perversion book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is not surprising that the supposed miracle of the Mass—the supernatural transformation of the substance of bread and wine into the veritable Body and Blood of Christ—daily performed by the priest, led to a popular belief that the ceremony had magical powers, that a priest could use his magical powers of transubstantiation1 in order to achieve his own ends; that the Mass could be said with the intention of death, sexual love or material gain. This belief was not confined to the illiterate pop...ulace but was held by a large number—possibly a majority—of the secular clergy. Evilly disposed priests would say a Requiem Mass for a still living enemy and, when one remembers mediaeval mortality rates, it is not surprising that this malicious rite often met with seeming success.2 Eventually an underground literature came into existence designed to supply the demand for practical instruction in such perversions of the sacerdotal function. Probably the most notorious of these unpleasant instructional manuals was the Grimoire of Honorius—falsely attributed to one of the Popes of that name—which gave detailed information on how to use the Mass as an adjunct of (black) magical rites.
