These included orgies, ceremonial sex performances (with an audience), ritually imbibing sexual fluids and menstrual blood, and anointing objects with these same fluids. Sometimes with some infant sacrifice mixed in. Probably most groups accused of these things did not do them. Then there’s that sex magic is based on human imitation of divine creative power. If people thought creative power was based in a sexualized relation between human and divine, any ritual performed to activate that power was sex magic. So in some of the earlier sources, it would simply be visualization of the divine body, or performing letter combinations with the understanding that god created the universe by combining sexualized letters. With the development of kabbalah, in the 12th and thirteenth centuries, things changed. Kabbalists saw creation as the emanation of the divine substance into ten sefirot, which were gendered, and had sex with each other. When they did that, creation was completed. It was also the way that divine energy or blessings flowed into and sustained the world. So kabbalists thought that they could draw down blessings by having sex, kind of the opposite of the ‘as above, so below’ principle. They thought if they had sanctified sex, God would do so too. Then the blessings would rain down. This was a private affair but it’s pretty well absorbed into Hasidism. At other times, in 16th and 17th century Safed, some people used sex magic(prostrating themselves on the gravestones of saints in various attitudes) to draw down the souls of those saints. There were some developments of this too with the Sabbatian and Frankist movements (both Jewish, but antinomian and branded heretical) who allegedly performed public sex acts to bring about the redemption, and who are both reputed to have consumed some fluids.

(right) a gay orgy. see A 1997 trip to deep Peru retracing the Shining Path This changed in the 19th Century Europe, with the Europeans getting all orientalist. Western esotericism was born out of that impulse: to combine western forms of mystical and magical practice with Indian and Muslim ritual. Satanism as we know it now came out of these Western Esotericist or Theospohist doctrines. One of the most important nineteenth century theorists of was Paschal Beverly Randolph, who was not a satanist but claimed to have been initiated into Gnostic, Tantric, and Sufi rituals. For him, the experience of sexual orgasm is the critical moment in human consciousness and the key to magical power: “true Sex-power is God-power,” as he put it. The moment when new life is infused from the spiritual realm into the material is crucial moment — the soul is suddenly opened up to the spiritual energies of the cosmos. “At the instant of intense mutual orgasm the souls of the partners are opened to the powers of the cosmos and anything truly willed is accomplished.” That’s from his Eulis. This ritual was performed in private, and in the context of marriage, I believe. Two of the early groups were the Ordo Templi Orientis, and the Order of the Golden Dawn. Aleceister Crowley filtered Randoph’s ideas through the teachings of groups but also slapped on some of those late antique heretical accusations of fluid drinking, and ritual anointing of talismans with fluids. And because Crowley lived in Victorian times, he understood well the power of taboo. So he threw in some auto-eroticism and anal elements. From my parent’s porch. Postcard my mother brought back from TARQUINIA – Necropoli: Tomba dei, Tor Tombeau des Tori, Tori Grave, Tori Grab. Maybe sex magic works into your 80s And I’ll quote Hugh Urban on that: In Crowley’s revised system, however, the O.T.O.’s nine degrees were expanded to eleven. The eighth, ninth and eleventh of these focused on more explicitly transgressive sexual rites of auto-erotic and homosexual intercourse. As Peter Koenig summarizes the upper degrees: Crowley’s VIIIth degree unveiled… that masturbating on a sigil of a demon or meditating upon the image of a phallus would bring power or communication with a divine being. . . . The IXth degree was labeled heterosexual intercourse where the sexual secrets were sucked out of the vagina and when not consumed…put on a sigil to attract this or that demon to fulfill the pertinent wish. . . . In the XIth degree, the mostly homosexual degree, one identifies oneself with an ejaculating penis. The blood (or excrements) from anal intercourse attract the spirits/demons while the sperm keeps them alive. The Hindu use a type of sex magic called Tantra. In many ways, this secret of sexual magic was really the key to his entire vision of a new Aeon based on the full affirmation of the Will and the complete liberation from the repressive, oppressive religions of the past. Indeed, Crowley takes the “repressive hypothesis” and the urge to sexual freedom to its furthest extreme: for he not only proclaims the liberation of sexuality from the prudish bonds of his Victorian childhood, but he also makes the most deviant and anti-social of sexual acts — namely, masturbation, oral consumption of sexual fluids and homosexual intercourse– the ultimate keys to magical power. In other words, he set out to usher in his own new Aeon by smashing and tearing down the entire social-moral structure of the world in which he was raised. And so it comes full circle. Tantra combined with kabbalah and late antique accusations of heresy meant to bust up Victorian repression with the power of satan. Dr. Eubie. RELATED How Conservative Am I Really?

Like this: LikeLoading…LikeLoading…Welcome to Talker of the Town! My name is David Kramer. I have a Ph.D in English and teach at Keuka College. I am a former and still active Fellow at the Nazareth College Center for Public History and a Storyteller in Residence at the SmallMatters Institute. Over the years, I have taught at Monroe Community College, the Rochester Institute of Technology and St. John Fisher College. I have published numerous Guest Essays, Letters, Book Reviews and Opinion pieces in The New York Times, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle, the Buffalo News, the Rochester Patriot, the Providence Journal, the Providence Business News, the Brown Alumni Magazine, the New London Day, the Boston Herald, the Messenger Post Newspapers, the Wedge, the Empty Closet, the CITY, Lake Affect Magazine and Brighton Connections. My poetry appears in The Criterion: An International Journal in English and Rundenalia and my academic writing in War, Literature and the Arts and Twentieth Century Literary Criticism. Starting in February 2013, I wrote for three Democratic and Chronicle blogs, “Make City Schools Better,” “Unite Rochester,” and the “Editorial Board.” When my tenure at the D & C ended, I wanted to continue conversations first begun there. And start new ones. So we created this new space, Talker of the Town, where all are invited to join. I don’t like to say these posts are “mine.” Very few of them are the sole product of my sometimes overheated imagination. Instead, I call them partnerships and collaborations. Or as they say in education, “peer group work.” Talker of the Town might better be Talkers of the Town. The blog won’t thrive without your leads, text, pictures, ideas, facebook shares, tweets, comments and criticisms.

From Occult EncyclopediaJump to navigationJump to searchAnton LaVey performing a Satantic Mass using a nude woman as the altar Sex magic (sometimes spelled sex magick) is any type of sexual activity used in magical, ritualistic or otherwise religious and spiritual pursuits. One practice of sex magic is using sexual arousal or orgasm with visualization of a desired result. A premise posited by sex magicians is the concept that sexual energy is a potent force that can be harnessed to transcend one’s normally perceived reality. Contents 1Black Mass 2Modern history 2.1Beverly Randolph 2.2Aleister Crowley 2.3Maria de Naglowska 2.4Travis McHenry Black Mass In the 17th century, Catherine Monvoisin and the priest Étienne Guibourg performed Black Masses for Madame de Montespan, the mistress of King Louis XIV of France. Since a criminal investigation—L’affaire des poisons (“Affair of the Poisons”)—was launched and testimony from those involved revealed the details of this Mass. At this time, the Black Mass was a typical Roman Catholic Mass, but modified according to certain formulas (some reminiscent of the Sworn Book of Honorius, or its French version, Grimoire of Pope Honorius). The priest utilized a woman as the central altar of worship, lying naked upon the altar with the chalice on her stomach, and holding a candle in each of her outstretched arms. The Host was consecrated in her vagina, and then used in love potions designed to gain the love of the King. To seal the power of the Mass, the priest had sex with the woman serving as the altar at the end of the ritual. Modern history Beverly Randolph The earliest known practical teachings of sex magic in the Western world comes from 19th-century American occultist, Paschal Beverly Randolph (1825-1875). The son of a wealthy Virginian father and a slave mother, he was a well-known spiritualist who was greatly influenced by the work of English Rosicrucian and scholar of phallicism, Hargrave Jennings. Randolph developed one of the most influential systems of sex magic. As per him, the moment when one reaches orgasm is the most intense and the most powerful experience a human can have in life, for in that moment the soul suddenly opens to the divine realm and the breath of God is infused. He said, “True sex-power is God-power.” As such, the power of orgasm can be used by a man and woman for various gains, both worldly and spiritual. Randolph insisted that for the magic to be effective and prayers be fulfilled, both the partners involved in should achieve orgasm at the same moment. His teachings were later passed on to numerous secret societies in Europe, the most notable being Ordo Templi Orientis or O.T.O founded by Carl Kellner and Theodor Reuss. Aleister Crowley In the latter part of the 19th century, sexual reformer Ida Craddock (1857-1902) published several works dealing with sacred sexuality, most notably Heavenly Bridegrooms and Psychic Wedlock. Aleister Crowley considered these teachings extremely important and incorporated them into his own Thelema magical system. He once said of Heavenly Bridegrooms, “This book is of incalculable value to every student of occult matters. No Magick library is complete without it.” Crowley believed sexual energy was the central force of humanity and wrote extensively on the topic of sex magick. Some of these works were published and made available to the general public, others were secret and could only be obtained by initiates of Ordo Templi Orientis. Maria de Naglowska Maria de Naglowska (1883–1936) was a Russian occultist, mystic, author and journalist who wrote and taught about sexual magical ritual practices while also being linked with the Parisian surrealist movement. She established and led an occult society known as the Confrérie de la Flèche d’or (Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow) in Paris from 1932 to 1935. She also published La Lumière du sexe (The Light of Sex), a mystic treatise and guide to sexual ritual that was required reading for those seeking to be initiated into the Brotherhood of the Golden Arrow. Her later book on advanced sexual magic practices, Le Mystère de la pendaison (The Hanging Mystery) details her advanced teachings on the Third Term of the Trinity and the spiritually transformative power of sex, and the practice of erotic ritual hanging and other sensory deprivation practices.
