IX.
Sex-Magical Self-Initiation
A Crash Course For The Kali Yuga
What is the good of talking? To speak of such things means nothing. If one
worships with the flowers of the menses, that one possesses power over
destiny. Worshipping often in this way, he may attain liberation. The initiate
should seat a Shakti in a circle. She should be lewd, lovely, lacking all shame
and disgust, naturally captivating, infinitely seductive and beautiful. After
bestowing vijaya upon the Shakti, one should worship her with the greatest
devotedness. She should be seated on his left, and he should worship her
yoni.
—Yoni Tantra
The shape of the map to the left-hand path that we set out to delineate should
now be clear enough. After reading the foregoing sections of this book, it
becomes evident that while the outer forms of the sinister current have taken
an astounding multiplicity of shapes in their manifestation in time, some
even seemingly inconsistent with each other, the inner essence is remarkably
similar. It is this timeless and elemental substance of the way of the left,
expressed though all of the diverse magical systems we have considered,
that we have sought to isolate.
We have already provided more than ample indications throughout
the preceding chapters – sometimes explicitly, sometimes more subtly – as
to how the various historical methods of the universal sinister current can be
applied to your own life. You may well have already taken upon it yourself
to experiment with some of the sex-magical processes of illumination
outlined in the previous pages. If not, the preceding sections of Demons Of
The Flesh have been constructed to he reviewed with the idea of translating
the concepts explicated therein to the conditions of the reader's current level
of initiation. There are not – indeed there cannot be – any fixed rules for
sexually awakening the daemon that dwells in your flesh.
Each must find his or her own way to embody the sinister current in
the nine-gated temple of your body. There is the voyage that takes one
through the traditional training of Tantra that leads from pashu to divya by
the arousal of the fire serpent under the power of Shakti. As a Scarlet
Woman, an embodiment of the ancient Babalon current, you may become the
340
priestess of Her shrine. As a consequence of the forced exodus of Tibetan
teachers from their homeland, the secret knowledge of the Vajrayana may be
communicated to those who brave the wrathful lemons to enjoy the blissful
embrace of the Dakini. Regardless of your gender, you may be empowered
by the gnosis, transformed into a magus or thaumaturge like Christ and
Simon through the descent of the Holy Spirit of Sophia, She of the Left
Hand. You may follow the path of he troubadour and the knight, in troth to
the unattainable Lady, in search of the Feminine Daemonic materialized in
the Graal. The yin-tao practiced in the royal bedchambers of the Chinese
emperors promises immortality to those who master its discipline. By
comparison, much less objective data remains to induct modern initiates into
the Northern sexual mysteries of the seithr, or the ancient Egyptian
erotomagical cult of Set, but this has certainly not stopped the romantic and
the fanciful from trying to resurrect these practices.
The names and the symbols have changed a thousand tunes. But the
primordial act that yokes the two halves of male and female in its ecstatic
coupling, sending its signal from left to right, creating the mystery of the
third consciousness, transcends all words and images. The adept of the
sinister current in this age is no longer compelled to follow only one route to
illuminated libertinage. Unlike your ancient forebears, limited in their access
