From the early modern era to the present day, sacred eroticism has played a significant yet overlooked role in Western esotericism. The Movement for Spiritual Integration into the Absolute (MISA), founded in Romania, transformed sacred esotericism into the focal point of a widespread movement, attracting approximately 30,000 students worldwide. This book, based on extensive fieldwork and interviews, delves into the history of MISA, spanning from its inception to the COVID-19 pandemic. It offers a detailed exploration of MISA's ideas regarding Tantra and eroticism, as well as its approach to visual arts and cinema, including early ventures into the realm of adult movies. The study concludes with an examination of hostile reactions to MISA, culminating in the issuance of arrest warrants against its founder amidst a string of criminal accusations, which the movement vehemently denies as fabrications concocted by its opponents.
