Author and veteran columnist Amy Sohn talks with Harry Siegel about her book, The Man Who Hated Women: Sex, Censorship, and Civil Liberties in the Gilded Age, and explains why the “zombie” Comstock Law still on the federal books kept coming up during 2024's presidential election. Sohn details how the lives of two “sex radicals,” Ida Craddock and Sarah Chase, were upended as they crossed paths with Anthony Comstock, the mutton-chopped celebrity behind the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice and self-described “friend of women” who boasted about driving his enemies to suicide. It's a story about how the government's original anti-sex law — suppressing information about birth control as a form of obscenity — created mechanisms used to this day to suppress unpopular thoughts.

Feminist scholar Ida Craddock taught sex education to young couples. She had a lot of experience and expertise to pass on because of her own intellectual and sexual relationship with her husband who was a ghost. But Comstock came calling after she published some pamphlets.  Come to American Filth Live on June 29th in Atlanta! Click here for tickets.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ida Craddock was an occult sex reformer who wrote about how married couples could spiritualize their unions, giving them control over pregnancy and the right to choose when they had their children. She claimed that she herself had married a spirit or angel from the non-physical realm and that such unions were common in the history of mysticism and religion. Craddock would be persecuted by notorious moralizer, Anthony Comstock, who would try and fail to purge Craddock's work from the occult record.

Dear Dash Hounds: Be thankful you can listen to Beth and Kelly today because, if ol' misogynist Anthony Comstock had any say, we would have been shut down years ago. Our episode dives into the mayonnaise jar that is vice and the mailing of such materials. The Comstock Laws were created in 1873 and took until Roe v Wade in 1973 to be overturned. That's a lot of suppression for one man to handle- but handle he did! Thanks always for listening—much love!

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.

This is part 1 of the Season 1 finale of Mancy. In this episode RJ discusses the ancient history of Sex Magic, spellwork through sexual action. This includes the ancient origin of Edging and sex magic in ancient china. RJ and Elle also discuss the importance of sex positivity and the dangers of sexual repression. The Extra Spell is about sacred prostitution and how it may have inspired some of the intimacy therapy that exists today. Moving into the 19th Century, RJ discusses the Sex Magic of Aleister Crowley and does a short biography of Ida Craddock. The extreme censorship of the 19th century brought about by Anthony Comstock and his Comstock laws butted heads with Ida's progressive literature about sex magic. Afterward, RJ starts the biography of Australian artist and sex magician Rosaleen Norton. Elle performs Phallomancy using an oracle deck of various penis cards for Madazon Can-Can.

Is yoga religious? This question has not only been asked recently by the broader public but also posed in the courts. Many argue that of course it is. The story of yoga in the popular imagination is often narrated as an ancient wisdom tradition that informs contemporary postural movements which are intricately connected and indivisible. Others contend that  contemporary yoga is simply a set of health practices that have nothing to do with religion. In Selling Yoga: From Counterculture to Pop Culture (Oxford University Press, 2014), Andrea Jain, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, helps us navigate the recent history of yoga in the west and the debates surrounding its ‘religious’ nature. Overall, what we find is that while yoga has been mediate through an emerging global consumer market and branded for strategic purposes it can still be seen to serve the function of a body of religious practice for many practitioners. In our conversation we discussed Hindu, Buddhist, Jain variations of yogic practice, Ida Craddock’s Church of Yoga, legal definitions, Iyengar Yoga, Siddha Yoga, and Anusara Yoga, Theosophists and Transcendentalists, Swami Vivikenanda’s Vedanta Society, counterculture yogis, consumer culture and the mass market, Christian Yogaphobia, the Hindu American Foundation, and the politics of yoga.
