painful/pleasurable overstimulus when the period of understimulation is
broken, while the deliberate feeding of rich, carbohydrate-heavy foods will
increase drowsiness and create a rise in the serotonin levels in the brain,
making for a dreamier slumber.
Ideally, the half-asleep submissive will experience the working as a
dream (or nightmare), lending a surreal tone to the proceedings. The painengendered
creation of high levels of adrenaline and endorphins in the
submissive's brain while still in a half-conscious state can foster a unique
trance favorable to magical work. Very often, after the intensity of the
working, the submissive is sufficiently exhausted to serve a divinatory or
visionary function. The submissive's dreams after the rite can sometimes
augment the magical goal of the operation in an unexpected way.
Alternatively, one can choose a specified time frame (i.e., one week)
during which the submissive sleeps in the domain of the dominant and the
same procedure can be carried out at random times. A different type of
tension builds when the submissive doesn't know on exactly which night the
working will take place. This random element is useful for an enthusiastic or
especially nervous submissive who can't fall asleep during the preparatory
period of reduced stimulation.
The Freedom Of The Slave
Closely allied to the deliberate confrontation of fear that can be so efficiently
engineered during dominant/submissive sexual magic is the important lefthand
path practice of the conscious breaking of taboo. There is relatively little
magical or initiatory value in breaking the rules of society, especially in a
society in such an advanced state of disintegration and breakdown as our
own. Nothing could be easier than disturbing a status quo instituted by others;
the real work of the sinister current is to break the rules we rigidly establish
461
for ourselves.
Crossing the threshold of our own fixed behavior patterns and selfconditioning
is a method of left-hand path magic that can liberate the
magician in every sphere of his or her activity. In the context of
dominant/submissive workings, the submissive is often ordered to breach his
or her own sexual habits and preferences while in ritual space and state of
mind. Since left-hand path sex magicians often tend to he erotically
adventurous to begin with, it can sometimes be a challenge to discover a
taboo of any great power in the submissive's psychosexual constitution.
However, one can usually be discovered.
One of the most common self-created sexual taboos broken by
submissives during workings include forcing strictly heterosexual magicians
into same-sex erotic activity or compelling homosexual magicians to perform
with the opposite sex. Commanding a submissive devoted exclusively to one
dominant to defer to the sexual demands of another dominant for whom they
feel no bond is also quite common and can be a powerful method of
demonstrating the unconditional state of slavery that the submissive has freely
accepted.
Along similar lines, the submissive may be forced to endure sexual
relations with an individual they actively dislike or are repulsed by, as a proof
of devotion to the dominant. Perhaps the submissive could be subjected to the
administration of pain by an individual for whom he or she feels an active
antagonism.
The submissive who has learned to willingly accept the degradation
and humiliation he or she suffers under the yoke of the master/mistress in
private, may be absolutely mortified by having to abide the same cruelties in
public or among friends previously unaware of the submissive's proclivities.
There are any number of sexual practices that a specific submissive may find
abhorrent that can be efficiently applied to taboo-breaking magic. What may
be completely acceptable to one magician may be beyond the pale for
