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 />

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<br />

ritualistically proclaiming that the qualities of the divinity or demon are<br />

gradually appearing in the avatar. This process of psychic transformation<br />

can conclude with the incarnated divinity engaging in ritual copulation with<br />

one or many of the other magicians in a manner appropriate to the myth in<br />

question.<br />

For instance, if a female magician allows herself to he incarnated by<br />

Kali, she might choose a partner (or partners) to serve as her male consort,<br />

the eternally erect Shiva. True to the sexual symbolism of Kali, the magician<br />

would very energetically ride the erect phallus of "Shiva" from above, while<br />

her partner remained perfectly still, in keeping with the Indian concept of the<br />

active Feminine Daemonic, Shakti, and the immobile male force. A magician<br />

inhabited by the Mesopotamian-Hebraic succubus Lilith, very similarly,
