The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtarlays 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.

HI, I'M ANNIE DIEU-LE-VEUT and I write about the esoteric wisdom of the Mystery Schools of the ancient world that our ancestors wrote in the stars, so that man could learn how to "bring the heavens down to Earth" to nourish and fertilise our own lives here below.

This isn't New Age woo-woo. Its wisdom is older than the hills. It is an ageless science based on eternal cosmological measures and processes without which, we are at a loss to chart a course through our lives today. However, those who came before us left these teachings for future generations in their metaphorical stories, and so we can follow them as we would footprints in the sands of time.

Our forebears were passing on these myths orally, as songs or poems, generation to generation, since at least the last major Ice Age. They were not recorded in written form until the medieval Dark Ages and so even then, transcribed through the blinkered vision of Christian-trained monks who could only peer through a glass darkly.

Nowadays, though, all that knowledge is being unearthed and propagated through a more shamanic lens by modern-day alchemists, astrologers, astronomers, mathematicians, mythologists and musicians, and in my books you will find a way into it all at whatever level you’re at.

5.0 out of 5 stars If your curiosity has been drawn to this book, there is a reason why......

Have you ever heard the phrase: "The Book Chooses You?"
If your curiosity has been drawn to the title of: "The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar", there is a reason; Perhaps you have a historian nature and want to understand the tantalizing sex rites practiced by our forefathers. Was there more to the sexual act than just creating children, although this is vital to the continuing of Homo Sapiens.
Maybe you are disappointed in your own sexual expression...bored, feeling unfulfilled and looking for a practical means to spice it all up, without including leather and chains.
But just maybe you are drawn to this book for a totally unexplainable, deep and soulful, need to know, "what's happening to me, reason." What is this stirring within, growing in intensity and wanting expression with or without, a partner?
Author Annie Dieu-Le-Veut, covers all 3 reasons you might be drawn to, "The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar". Whether you are searching for historical content on the procreation of humanity, a more fulfilling sexual expression or a deeper understanding of a movement within yourself, Annie provides an easy to read and comprehendible road map into a subject which is a fundamental aspect of who we all are as humans; You will touch the real meaning of the word Ecstasy, which is not the 'garden variety' we think we know. Ecstasy: Heavens most glorious gift bestowed on humanity by our Creator.
May you find your way for what you seek between these pages.

It’s not well-written at all, but has some interesting points. I can tell the author knows her stuff and has a passion for the subject, but it lacked focus, organization and flow. For instance there’s barely any mention of Ishtar until chapter 6.

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Poorly Written, Wildly Drawn Conclusions
Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2021

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 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" its more that she just mentions it, because she doesn't use footnotes or a works cited page correctly. 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. So many ridiculous claims... 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 romcom in history was too, and most disturbingly, she does a lot of us vs. them discussions on Jewish people and their beliefs, and science, as if no one reading this would be able to reconcile themselves to a middle ground or both sides being right on some points. I haven't read a book this disorganized and pointless in a very long time. It had nothing at all to do with Ishtar.

A book full of stories, useless information, and the author need to verbally invalidate but also telling just false information that she doesn't have any education in nor a background that would qualify her to give her "two cents". Ex; she mentioned that black holes is something scientists made up, I think the author is a Con artists, Charlatan, who wrote down her thoughts with the delusion that it had any value or the intuition to be in anyway entertaining. Writing this not to be mean but to warn you. Don't say you haven't been warned

If you are looking at this, it is for a purpose. Even if you read it all and still feel as if you got nothing; give it time to percolate. This is been my life's theme. There have been looked left unfinished, of which parts are slowly revealing themselves to me. Read as much as you can, leave it if you must, carry on and trust.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for practical advice on The Mystery Teachings? This book is definitely for you!
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 1, 2019

If you’re wondering what The Mystery Teachings are, and how they apply to you, then this book is for you. For decades, I’ve been looking for that mythical bridge to The Mysteries that would connect the dry and dusty academic planes to the realms of my own actual hands-on experience of them. I’m an academic, a Medieval Archaeologist & Historian, but also a Gnostic Christian with a deeply studied interest in Christianity’s true origins. I’ve researched the subject of The Mysteries until I’m blue in the face without ever really finding out what they are or how to successfully apply them to my life. I’ve searched through those dry academic tomes on systems as diverse as the Mesopotamians, the Ancient Egyptians and the Eleusinian Mystery Schools of Ancient Greece. I’ve studied the Gnostic gospels, the doctrines of the Early Church Fathers, the dogmas of the Roman Church, right up to present day catechism. Nowhere have I found answers that have satisfied my quest for knowledge of The Mysteries. I had unhappily concluded that they’re not called mysteries for no good reason and was no closer to establishing just exactly what they were all about. Then, a couple of years ago, quite inadvertently, I’d begun to read a few of Annie Dieu le Veut’s earlier writings, both online and in print. Imagine my unabated joy when I discovered that there was a real, live shaman woman in Glastonbury who’d written the words my heart so yearned to hear! In giving me the permission I needed to start thinking of my spirituality in a very different way, she quite literally changed my life. I hadn’t even realised that the mystical journeyings I’d kept secret for so long rendered me a shaman in training myself until that point. And the phrase “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear” has never been more apposite in the case of my relation to this particular book.

Now that I know what they are, I reiterate that, if you’re looking for practical advice on all aspects of The Mystery Teachings, then this book is definitely for you. It is as entertaining as it is enlightening, as simply stated as it is profound. This book is about LOVE - love for oneself, for ALL others and for the beautiful and fantastic universe we inhabit. It’s about discovering the spiritual beings we truly are; ruthlessly suppressed beings, to whom these fundamentally essential teachings have been denied for so many centuries. The Mysteries have been systematically replaced by a consciously-functioning regime that has sought to suppress the true nature of mankind. A system that’s successfully isolated us from the very thing that gives us extra-dimensional life: our connection to the spirit world. It’s not all about sex, it’s about the true and sovereign connection that sex allows us to achieve when it’s understood within its intended context. That is, through the universal consciousness applied in The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar. Sex isn’t about lying back and thinking of England, as my mother used to tell me. It’s about opening up those portals into the divine and dynamic realms that bring the knowledge and wisdom of the universe back down to Earth in true sovereignty, power and majesty. And it’s about creating a connection with the spirits of the land who will then teach us how to love ourselves and our neighbours as Yeshua taught us to. Chapter 16, The Nature of Divine Love, was definitely written for me. I am indeed one of those women Annie is referring to on the pages of that chapter. But, of course, for some, it really IS about experiencing the brighter colours of the best sex they’ve ever known without having to lie back and think of dear old Blighty.
