# i have been a practicing buddhist for a while now 

what kind?

# and i am starting to turn my interests toward the occult and 
# sex magick, 

and away from Buddhism? there are Buddhists who do things with
sex and magic, though I gather they're fewer and farther
between than Sexo-Thelemics. the AMOOKOS folx have their
problems, but they may have some cogent ideas you can discover.

# ...is the use and ingestion of sexual fluids, including 
# menstrual blood, considered to be strong magick? 

by itself, it is not magic at all. some find such activity
to be an important part of their magical operations, tho.
the pretense that controversial or powerful acts are 
for some reason magical is a demonstration of the 
misunderstanding of what magic is.

# which occult practices place importance on these techniques 

presumably knowing use and consumption. the best refs I've 
seen on this topic were from Spare, TOPY, Grant, Bertiaux, 
and a few other Thelemic folks. the hoodoo people seem to
feed it to others more often than consuming it themselves,
and most of the others are either so vague and secretive
they can't be discerned as speaking about the controversial,
or do so in such symbolic terms as to be rendered nonsensical.

# and what would be some suggested reading reguarding sex 
# magick and magick in general? 

you've been given some good references on these subjects
already. it should be said that magicK is a subset of 
magic, Crowley a subset of the whole of occultism (one
with his biases and oversights that don't appeal to all).

# are aleister crowleys books a good place to start 

I don't think so, not for this topic. he's too abstruse.

# and how powerful is the magick he teaches in his books 

it's a matching with the magician, so there's no standard
'power rating'.

# and does he teach the importance of sex magick? 

he and his cult place a great deal of importance on sex magick,
though they tend to cover it over, veil it, and hide it from
others, protecting its content with oaths of secrecy and hints
with winks and nods.
