of "straight" heterosexual society.
Homosexual left-hand path magicians of either gender are potentially
provided with the many advantages to sinister current work allowed by any
innate or self-created difference that separates one from the statistical norm
of humanity. If one chooses to live in the self-imposed ghettoization of an
exclusively homosexual world, with all of its cultural limitations and
expected behavior patterns, one relinquishes the sweeping perspective
initiation demands in exchange for the relative safety of fitting in with yet
another form of tribal collectivism. Homosexual magicians shouldn't

appropriate any of the stifling stereotypes arbitrarily associated with their
sexual preference any more than heterosexual magicians should strive to
imitate the "normal" lifestyles routinely promulgated by television
commercials. Fluid self-creation shaped from exploring the unknown
personal darkness within, rather than fixed socially dictated identity absorbed
from without, is always a primary law of the sinister current.

Of Orgies Ancient And Modern
Group Sex Magic
The Organized Orgy
The word orgy is etymologically derived from the Greek ergon, or
work/action. Hellenic magicians of antiquity would have been consciously
aware of the link between their magical actions or ourgia and the sacred
sexual rites of ta orgia, an established aspect of many of the initiatory Greek
mystery religions. This very ancient affinity between the magical working
and the orgy is no less pronounced for contemporary sinister current adepts.
Before analyzing the sometimes complicated magical mechanics one should
take into account before experimenting with the orgy, there are other factors
worthy of scrutiny.
Although the Western operations of group sexual energy were very
different in their aims from the left-hand path Chakra Puja and Choli Marga
orgies described in Chapter Three, any act of collective sexual energy
transmission obeys certain underlying psychic principles. Such is die
sensational reputation of the orgy – a phrase most commonly used today in
the lowest kinds of journalism – that these are often difficult for modem
minds to analyze objectively.
As open practitioners of the left-hand path, we have frequently been
called upon to explain our magical practices in various public arenas of
drastically differing levels of sophistication. Invariably, we have noted that
when the general public gives any thought to those practices they dimly
conceive of as "black magic" or "Satanism", wild and fantastic fantasies of
debauched orgies are among the cluster of clichés that first come to their
minds. Whether such orgiastic flights of fancy are considered to be deeply
horrifying, illicitly titillating, or a prurient cocktail of both reactions, depends
entirely on the conditioning of the audience in question.
To a certain degree, this automatic connection frequently presumed
between magical and orgiastic activity is understandable. The combined
weight of Church-inspired fantasies of sexually licentious Black Sabbaths
during the witch hysteria, the historical examples of the British Hellfire
Clubs and the nineteenth century Parisian Black Mass, and the lurid
depictions of magical operations in Hollywood horror films, have created an
indelible storehouse of potent images that exercise a tenacious hold on the
popular imagination. The facts of the matter can hardly make a dent in the

fantasy.
In actuality, although we shall demonstrate the orgy's usefulness to
