Kedesha II: Shining Darkness

“Kedesha II - Shining Darkness” is a provocative historical novel, weaving together erotic secretive rituals of Kabbalists from the past with the sexual shamanism of the present times with two unique and inspiring storylines.

The Ancient Storyline

1756: A charismatic Kabbalist from Thessaloniki arrives in Poland on a Messianic mission to redeem the Divine Feminine.

Thousands are inspired to follow him on a mystical quest that includes radical sexual rituals and the breaking of all religious rules. Famous rabbis, known Catholic bishops and the Islamic authorities of the Turkish Sultan are all both mesmerized and repulsed by that man: Jacob Frank.

The Modern Storyline
2018: Yoni, an Israeli sexual shaman, gives in to his primordial desires and falls into a deep personal crisis. His love triangle with his partner Hagar and his lover Tara hits a hard rock when his charming Latin student Alphonso De La Cruz lands in Tel Aviv. Through a series of sexual shamanic rituals that connect them to their 18th-century ancestors, the three seek their way to the sacred truth of deep dark love.

He is a musician, an artist, and the author of several books, including "KEDESHA — The Return of the Priestesses of Love", a page-turner that reveals a historic conspiracy that changed our world and brought an end to the ancient Temple of Love in Jerusalem of the 7th century BCE.
