I. VAMA MARGA Foundations Of The Left-Hand Path - staticfly.net

people who are visited by someone they want to fuck in the form of the
incubus or succubus usually stop having sex with the body of the desired
person. The obsession itself would seem to become more important and
desirable. The magnetic nature of the sexual attraction between these beings
and their subjects interferes with other physical sexual forces. Any strong
sexual hallucination I have had has cut down on my actual sexual experience,
and has proven to be quite destructive from that point of view. Secondly, I
believe it is wise not to let the person who has visited you in the form of a
succubus know about it because they may realize the power they have over
you and use it. Thirdly, anyone attempting to make contact with a succubus
should know that they are apt to be a nuisance, difficult to get rid of, and can
be exhausting if they get out of control. A succubus can be a good servant.
He or she is always a bad master."
With those words of caution, we move on to consideration of left-hand path
sex magic performed with even more unpredictable entities – human beings.
When Two Becomes Three – A Rite Of Creation
The measure of control obtained over orgasm and mental phenomena through
the preceding preparatory exercises can now be applied to the more
challenging interaction with a sex-magical consort. It is only in the sexual
377
union of the two contrasexual forces of anima and animus that the full
powers of the left-hand path can be encountered. The next recommended step
is to return to the first section of Chapter Two, entitled Playing With Maya –
Left-Hand Path Magic, and the entirety of Chapter Three.
What you read the first time as theory can now be read again through
different eyes and adapted to your own practice with a partner. Again, the
purpose of this exercise is not to painstakingly recreate the traditional Vama
Marga secret rite in its Indian form – unless, of course, that form would
exercise a strong effect on your psyche – but to transfer the essential
principles embodied therein and render them in a vital manner to the
conditions of your own current situation. For example, what taboos of
relevance to your own specific limitations would you and your chosen
consort need to ritually break as a consciousness-altering prelude to the
sexual maithuna? How do 21st century Westerners, raised in a largely secular
culture, effectively utilize symbolism to allow themselves to ritually
transform their sexual partners into divine beings? Even an initial
consideration of these and other questions related to the creation of your own
secret rite will make it clear why the old era of dictatorially guided magical
instruction provided. from above has come to a welcome end. In such a
fragmented and chaotic environment, with so little common ground, the only
successful magus and adept will he he or she who has the vision and
imagination to build a personally constructed bridge to illumination.
At its most sublime metaphysical and mystical level, left-hand
sexual union is an act revealing the divinity of one's sexual partner and one's
self in the flow of the sinister current. The female partner becomes Vama
herself, the multi-formed "She of the Left," who with her wild dance of
seduction conquers and illuminates He on the Right with her Shakti power.
For those only beginning to gain an apprehension of this essentially nonnatural
experience – non-natural because, as Swami Satyananda Saraswati
points out in his Kali Puja: "She is in the universe, yet separate from it" – a
symbolism that more closely mirrors the pattern of the familiar natural world
can be enlightening. By initially confining a couple's use of sexual energy to
the more objectively observable actions of sorcery, a gradual approach to the
remote summit of left-hand path liberation can be inaugurated.
Heterosexual coitus in a sex magical context is obviously a powerful
liminal action, which is one of the many reasons it has always been accorded
a ritual status. Whether you are being penetrated or you are the penetrator,
the act of intermingling the genitals physically crosses a border and binds
