Ida Craddock was an early advocate for women's rights and sex reform who helped hundreds of couples to improve their marriages with her sex education counseling and tracts sent through the mail. She was also an avid occultist and mystic who reported having regular sexual encounters with angelic beings. This was an incendiary combination in late nineteenth century America, inevitably attracting the attention of moral crusader Anthony Comstock, who devoted himself to her destruction. Although suffering exile, commitment to an insane asylum, and hard labor in prison, Ida's courage and refusal to compromise her beliefs would lead to her ultimate triumph, even in death. Vere Chappell is a writer, photographer, and researcher specializing in sexuality and spirituality. He travels extensively, studying and documenting sacred sexuality in art, history, and culture around the world. A recognized expert on Ida Craddock, he has lectured about her life and works in numerous venues over the past 10 years, and contributed a paper on Craddock to the Disinformation anthology The Book of Lies in 2003. He holds a doctorate in human sexuality from the Institute for Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, and is an international officer of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), an esoteric religious order which incorporates sacred sexuality in its teachings. - www.sexualoutlaw.com
