would also mount her partner(s) from above, the position traditionally
favored by the demoness who deliberately broke God's commandment
ordering the missionary position. A magician ritually transformed into the
Egyptian neter Set might engage in anal penetration of his partners, a sexual
activity integral to the mythology of this violent god.
Obviously, such recreations of the erotic attributes of the gods would
be entirely meaningless if performed among magicians that have no interest
in, or knowledge of, the mythological background involved. When
experimenting with incarnatory theurgic operations of this type, it is therefore
essential that all magicians involved in the orgy have been prepared well in
advance to understand the often obscure symbolism of such rites. The larger
the orgy, the less likely it will be that all magicians participating will
understand the same ritual "language", which can all too often result in a

the groundwork for such magical actions is often the key to their
effectiveness.
As stated earlier, there is no reason that the incarnation of a male or
female divinity must be limited to a human magician of the same sex;
heterosexual male magicians have made for perfectly appropriate goddesses,
and traditionally "feminine" women have proven to serve as effective gods.
In such cases, the theurgist is tapping into a cosmic feminine or masculine
current unrelated to the biological realm. Also, the gender and sexual
preference of the magician is not as important as the degree of psychic
resonance with the specific divinity called upon.
Once the magician has achieved the altered state of consciousness,
sexual interaction with other orgiasts may be utilized to bestow some specific
qualities of the divinity through erotic communication. Through this method,
left-hand path sex magicians literally or symbolically ingest the essence of
divine beings through sexual congress.
A Group Rite Of Sexual Initiation
A group of magicians dedicated to the veneration of a particular god or
goddess might perform an induction ceremony a literal rite of initiation into
the group, that involves ritual sex with a magician representing the deity
performed in the presence of those already initiated. Although very different
sexual modes are called for when evoking or invoking specific deities, there
are certain archaic forms of group initiation that can most effectively be
adapted to need. One that accesses timeless regions of the psychic storehouse
of imagery is the orgiastic rite of sexual rebirth.
All initiation to a new state of being involves not only a dying to
one's previous self but a rebirth into the expanded level of consciousness. For
this reason, and due to the ancient veneration of the vagina as the physical
gate of creation, ancient temples were very often designed as symbolic
vaginas that led into the hidden matrix or sanctum sanctorum where the god
or goddess was concealed. The narrow pylon entrance allowing entrance into
Egyptian temples, in particular, were deliberately designed to be symbolic
recreations of the tight passage out of the vagina. This symbolism can easily
be applied to an initiation rite in which the celebrants of an orgy form a
magical birth canal for the initiate to be reborn from.
The performance of this rite requires twenty or more magicians to be
carried out most effectively. In an entirely dark chamber, one celebrant
invokes the desired god or goddess to dwell within him or her, and takes his
or her place at the furthest distance from the door, on a bed or other trysting
area. The other magicians form two lines, standing directly across from each
other, leaving only a very narrow passageway between the two "walls" of the
symbolic. birth passage which they form. At a certain time, the magician
