The History & Arts of the Dominatrix
Discovering and bringing to light both ancient and modern traditions of female dominance, Anne O Nomis’ research traces these connective webs of secret knowledge and illuminates the forbidden lineages of desire that have been woven throughout human history.
The History & Arts of the Dominatrix is the illustrated treatise on the female Dominant throughout history, and the first book of its kind to exist on the subject.
With painstaking original research in museums, libraries and underground sources, Anne O Nomis uncovers and passes on the secret knowledge of their practices, from ancient rituals in honour of the Goddess Inanna, (involving gender transformation, punishment, pain and ecstasy), to the secular and specialised erotic entrepreneurship craft from the 16th Century and through on into the 20th Century’s ‘bizarre underground’.
These underground practices are informed by a deep understanding of Dominance studies and the nature of human desire and its expression, communicated as the ‘Seven Realm Arts’.
