magicians is usually best dedicated to building a sense of erotic and magical
affinity, learning thresholds of pleasure and pain (depending on the nature of
the work), and ascertaining purely physical compatibility. In some cases,
magicians not customarily given to jealousy might unexpectedly experience
such emotions when witnessing the powerful link that can form between your
usual partner and another magician. These unexpected bursts of
possessiveness must be transcended if the working atmosphere is not to be
poisoned, and are best confronted in a preliminary orgy designed. to work out
the kinks, so to speak.
Magical orgia are most effective when the social construct of sexual
restraint has been thoroughly discarded, and this usually – but not always –
requires a few initial forays to achieve. The less ambitious the magical goals
of these introductory explorations the better; sophistication of technique and
subtlety of objective can be refined once inhibition has been reduced.
The unpredictable and erratic nature of group sexual chemistry has
sometimes allowed the first trial run to work surprisingly well. Such random
and unforeseen factors as anonymity, anxiety, or simply the lucky accident of
426
performing the maiden working at the right place and at the right time can all
contribute to an atmosphere conducive to a high level of sex-magical energy
that exceeds expectations. Although such results are the exception, not the
rule, the occasional surprise successes only prove that group sex magic is the
branch of the Black Art least amenable to fulfilling any preconceived notions.
After The Orgy
We have already discussed a few approaches to focusing and aiming the
dispersed group energies radiating in every direction before a magical orgy is
entered into. The period immediately following the peak of the orgy – when
the magical will of the magicians is transmitted to the solid and subtle layers
of reality – is of equal importance. This climactic moment is when the guide's
ability to take an overall view of the working is so invaluable. If at all
possible, every celebrant's erotic energy should be satisfactorily released, and
a clear-cut completion of the operation should be made apparent. If
invocation or evocation of a divine/daemonic being occurred, the celebrant
incarnating the being should be guided back to human consciousness. The
heightened group concentration, will, altered state of consciousness and
orgasm should gradually be lowered back into normative space/time, slowly
reorienting the consciousness of each magician to a more profane state of
awareness.
In most cases, the considerable libidinal energies stimulated by the
working can then be allowed to dissipate in non-magical sexual interaction.
Very often, a state of exhaustion is reached which can allow for each
celebrant to privately fall into a light trance useful to strictly personal
purposes. Divination or revelation very often occur in such a state, and such
private experiences can he an augmentation to the principal aim of the
working itself. It can be effective to then return to the point at which the orgy
began, providing closure by coming full circle through another extended
period of silence, meditation, or reflection on the group egregore.
As with all left-hand path workings, the celebrants have no fear of
the entities or power called upon, so traditional banishings are uncalled for.
As ever, no inflexible regulations apply. For instance, there are times when
the goal of a working can be best accomplished by actually choosing to bring
the energies achieved at the height of the orgy out of the ritual space and time
and into the world at large. In such cases, the celebrants can simply leave the
orgy immediately after they've each attained their peak experiences, carrying
the specific power attained into their everyday lives. This method is most
appropriate when very tangible, quantifiable changes in the lives of the
magicians are sought.
It's almost always worthwhile for the celebrants of a magical orgy to
