diabetic who also injects heroin, the group vision should generally<br />
concentrate on that detail, rather than the less likely happenstance of the<br />
individual suddenly coming down with leprosy Similarly, if the healing is<br />
directed towards an individual suffering from cancer, this specific ailment<br />
should be taken into account rather than the healing of the entire body in<br />
general.<br />
Such fine-tuning is easily accomplished with one or two sex<br />
magicians but much harder to accomplish when several magicians are<br />
involved. This is only one of the reasons why orgies require far more<br />
preliminary discussion of goals desired than less populous workings.<br />
<strong>The</strong> orgy is also very useful for magical acts of inauguration, that is<br />
to say the orgiast's group release of willed erotic energy can be directed to the<br />
vitality and strength of any project in its beginning stages. A magical orgy<br />
held as an inaugural "house-warming" for magicians inhabiting a new<br />
dwelling, designed to instill the chosen location with certain pre-specified<br />
qualities is a very appropriate application of this particular technique of sex<br />
magic.<br />
Among some magicians working together on common goals it has<br />
also been useful to initiate the commencement of a mundane project with<br />
ritualized group sex operations pointed toward the successful<br />
accomplishment of the goal. <strong>The</strong> orgy not only builds up a group magical<br />
spirit – or egregore – that can be tapped into during the specific enterprise, it<br />
actually increases the camaraderie of the magicians before the non-magical<br />
undertaking begins.<br />
Collaborative artistic endeavors demanding a high degree of esprit de<br />
corps have been charged by orgies, including musicians preparing for a<br />
concert, and tightly knit crews preparing to make a film or stage a theatrical<br />
production. One hardly needs to be an artist to partake of the inaugural<br />
strengthening provided by the magical orgy; the opening of any enterprise,<br />
such as a new place of business, can also benefit from these methods.<br />
<strong>The</strong>urgy And <strong>The</strong> Orgy<br />
Magicians of the left-hand path have also found group sex workings to be<br />
advantageous for theurgic workings, those operations aimed specifically at<br />
the invocation or evocation of divine or non-human intelligences. Particularly<br />
with groups of magicians who share a common theological belief system, the<br />
lines of communication with the deity can very forcefully be activated<br />
through the orgy. For those left-hand path sex magicians whose approach to<br />
initiation is essentially religious – that is to say, whose magic involves the<br />
communion and exaltation of deities as a means of deifying themselves – the<br />
orgy can be a very direct link to the entity one seeks communication with. If<br />
we recall that the word religion evolved from the Latin root religare (to bind<br />
again, to bind strongly) the physical and psychic binding of the orgy can be<br />
413<br />
seen in a new light.<br />
We must leave aside for now the intriguing question of whether the<br />
god/goddess who "appears" to the orgiastically linked magicians is<br />
generated solely by the mutual imagery and shared subjective referents of<br />
those involved or is an actual manifestation of a being independent be healed<br />
or not.<br />
It should be noted in this regard that left-hand path magicians are not<br />
generally so superstitious as to believe that destruction or healing can be<br />
effected through magic alone. On the contrary, magic is always best used in<br />
conjunction with pre-existing conditions that can sometimes be pushed over<br />
the edge by sorcery This necessitates keen powers of observation on the part<br />
of the magician. For instance, if one's chosen enemy is known to be a<br />
diabetic who also injects heroin, the group vision should generally<br />
concentrate on that detail, rather than the less likely happenstance of the
