What Readers Are Saying

Puck You!

In these pages, you will find wisdom and defiance drawn from the enduring legacy of witches who came before us. This is not just a book—it is a call to action, an invocation of power, and a reminder that magic is, at its core, transformative.” –from the foreword by Dave Gaddy, author of The Simple Magick of Wild Things: The Journey of a Southern Male Wytch

Breeding Devils in Chaos

“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 the Christopher penrose novels

“I’m just in awe. This is such an exquisite work, I can’t put it down.” —A Seeker

“Subtitled The United Rite, Breeding Devils in Chaos takes aim at a history of homophobia in the Craft, and seeks what Davisson calls a “requeering.” Not so much a remaking of the traditions described in the book, but more looking at them and seeing that Witchcraft was always more than a little queer: magical, apart from the mundane, liminal, transgressive, rebellious, and defiant.” –Stephen Kenson

“This book touches on many things that we as gay men need in our magical lives. It was refreshing to be able to see another version of gay witchcraft, something not often brought to light in the Craft Community. Sven has a deep knowledge of the mystical and weaves history, magic and promise for a new generation of gay witchcraft. Highly Recommend!” –Amazon reviewer

“Honestly one of the most fascinating, informative books I read in a long time.” –Instagram reader

“It’s like traditional witchcraft had sex with postmodern philosophy and Crowley and had a gay witch baby lol Sven’s writing is easy to read yet very in depth.” –Facebook reader

Earlier Work

“Sven Davisson’s poetry is a bracingly unique combination of Buddhism, eroticism, urbanity, mythology, and modernity. Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsberg, and Frank O’Hara all seem to speak again through him.” —Jeff Mann, author of Ash: Poems from Norse Mythology

“Davisson is not only an omnivorous reader and spiritual scholar, but he boldly merges the essence of Eastern wisdom with the western occult tradition, synthesizing the two with extraordinary originality and grace, and providing us all with a glorious body of work all too rare in this decadent and material age.” —Trebor Healey, auhtor of A Horse Named Sorrow

“Sven Davisson’s work is erotic, haunting, spiritual and unafraid to take chances.” —Emanuel Xavier, author of Radiance

“An incredibly versatile religious scholar with a unique mind and equally complex personality…” —Raul Canizares author of Cuban Santeria: Walking with the Night
