Excerpt
PART TWO
HOW THE SEX MAGIC RITUAL WORKS
This section of the book deals with what is undoubtedly the most difficult and controversial element of Celtic sex magic: the process of arousal and stimulation leading to sexual orgasm. We will also discuss the duality of the sex magic orgasm and how to harness the orgasm and the period of time immediately following the orgasm for your own use. We will look at how to maintain and augment the sensual force through sustained intensification, thereby promoting the most powerful and potent projection of your personal internal energy.
The roles played by the priest or priestess, his or her assistants, and the participants are discussed in much greater detail in part 3. There you will find a step-by-step description of the invocations, responses, movements, and layout of each working and ritual.
Before we begin, we must take some time to consider the power of the forces we are going to become involved with.
The force of the sexual orgasm and its associated emotions have been responsible for the creation of empires and their fall; for wars and massacres; for great wealth and abject poverty; for the destruction of entire civilizations and for some of the world’s most outrageous crimes. Sexual drive is unquestionably the most powerful force that mankind has some frail form of control over. Whether or not you choose to admit it, it is the most powerful driving force in your life. It is your most powerful desire; it is present in your conscious and unconscious selves more often than any other thought or motivator. It has changed and will change your life pattern in the most profound way. Without it, you simply would not be here.
A Preview of the Sex Magic Ritual
As it is for all natural events, the core of sex magic is a cycle, a series of events that you will attempt to anticipate and over which you will attempt to exercise a form of control.
Anyone who has experienced a sexual orgasm and the sensual stimulation preceding it will know that in order to exercise any form of control over the event one must be extremely strong-willed. You will be attempting to exercise a considerable amount of control over both your body and your mind during the whole process. This will be possible only with a thorough understanding of the cycle, knowledge of the techniques necessary for this control, and a considerable amount of training and practice.
The cycle of the sexual orgasm, from its build-up to the period following the orgasm, is woven into the core of the sex magic ritual. It becomes the Projection Cycle, the means and power of projecting your spell.
THE PROJECTION CYCLE
The Projection Cycle is at the very heart of the sex magic ritual. It is irrevocably entwined with the natural cycle of the sexual orgasm. It begins with the first moment of sensual awareness; sometimes it even becomes the instigator of sexual awareness.
During this cycle your internal energy will leave what I can best call “the here and now” or “the conscious world” and undertake a visualized journey, returning only in the final moments of this part of the ritual.
The Projection Cycle is composed of seven successions. These are:
Awakening
Augmentation
Intensification
Quickening
Orgasm and Projection
Continuance
Relaxation
Each of these successions has significance in the ritual, as you shall see. Each has a definable threshold, a specific transition point when you pass from one succession to the next. The ritual helps you recognize these transition points by raising your awareness and heightening your senses.
FROM START TO FINISH
Every ritual is worked within a protective Circle, so each begins with the creation or casting of this Circle. The Circle has an entrance portal, a simple gap in the Circle through which all the participants in the ritual enter.
If the ritual involves more than one participant, the next step is the Gathering, when all the participants come together in the Circle and exchange brief informal welcomes.
The Circle is then sealed in preparation for the ritual. Cleansing and purification workings begin, and candles are lit.
Once the cleansing and purification workings are complete, the main ritual begins. A ritual libation is given and taken and the priest or priestess speaks the spell or incantation for the first time. The spell or incantation is then adopted by the Gathering; it becomes the focus and is chanted repeatedly by the participants.
The Principal Conduit is then named (we shall look at the significance of naming later), adopted by the Gathering, and anointed. The Principal Conduit is the man or, more typically, the woman upon whom the ritual is focused. The rest of the Gathering, including the priest or priestess, will focus their attention on this person, and he or she will govern the projection of the generated energy.
The second libation is given to the participants in the Gathering by the Principal Conduit.
The Principal Conduit then takes position on the convocation stone and the workings of the Projection Cycle are undertaken.
Once the Projection Cycle is complete and everyone in the Gathering has returned from their visualized journey, the Gathering reinforces the spell by group congress, that is, by the collective chanting of the spell, the singing of a prearranged song, or the chanting of a prearranged thanksgiving statement. The important factor is that this is a communal expression, demonstrating the like-mindedness and strength of the Gathering.
The final and main libation is then given and taken, the parting gift is given (this gift, as we shall see, is not a material one but a brief piece of wisdom given to the Gathering by the priest or priestess), and the candles are blown out in order to cast the Gathering’s energy toward the collective energy.
The Circle’s portal is unsealed and opened, and the Gathering scatters. The Circle is then erased.
