painful/pleasurable overstimulus when the period of understimulation is<br />
broken, while the deliberate feeding of rich, carbohydrate-heavy foods will<br />
increase drowsiness and create a rise in the serotonin levels in the brain,<br />
making for a dreamier slumber.<br />
Ideally, the half-asleep submissive will experience the working as a<br />
dream (or nightmare), lending a surreal tone to the proceedings. <strong>The</strong> painengendered<br />
creation of high levels of adrenaline and endorphins in the<br />
submissive's brain while still in a half-conscious state can foster a unique<br />
trance favorable to magical work. Very often, after the intensity of the<br />
working, the submissive is sufficiently exhausted to serve a divinatory or<br />
visionary function. <strong>The</strong> submissive's dreams after the rite can sometimes<br />
augment the magical goal of the operation in an unexpected way.<br />
Alternatively, one can choose a specified time frame (i.e., one week)<br />
during which the submissive sleeps in the domain of the dominant and the<br />
same procedure can be carried out at random times. A different type of<br />
tension builds when the submissive doesn't know on exactly which night the<br />
working will take place. This random element is useful for an enthusiastic or<br />
especially nervous submissive who can't fall asleep during the preparatory<br />
period of reduced stimulation.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Freedom <strong>Of</strong> <strong>The</strong> Slave<br />
Closely allied to the deliberate confrontation of fear that can be so efficiently<br />
engineered during dominant/submissive sexual magic is the important lefthand<br />
path practice of the conscious breaking of taboo. <strong>The</strong>re is relatively little<br />
magical or initiatory value in breaking the rules of society, especially in a<br />
society in such an advanced state of disintegration and breakdown as our<br />
own. Nothing could be easier than disturbing a status quo instituted by others;<br />
the real work of the sinister current is to break the rules we rigidly establish<br />

for ourselves.<br />
Crossing the threshold of our own fixed behavior patterns and selfconditioning<br />
is a method of left-hand path magic that can liberate the<br />
magician in every sphere of his or her activity. In the context of<br />
dominant/submissive workings, the submissive is often ordered to breach his<br />
or her own sexual habits and preferences while in ritual space and state of<br />
mind. Since left-hand path sex magicians often tend to he erotically<br />
adventurous to begin with, it can sometimes be a challenge to discover a<br />
taboo of any great power in the submissive's psychosexual constitution.<br />
However, one can usually be discovered.<br />
One of the most common self-created sexual taboos broken by<br />
submissives during workings include forcing strictly heterosexual magicians<br />
into same-sex erotic activity or compelling homosexual magicians to perform<br />
with the opposite sex. Commanding a submissive devoted exclusively to one<br />
dominant to defer to the sexual demands of another dominant for whom they<br />
feel no bond is also quite common and can be a powerful method of<br />
demonstrating the unconditional state of slavery that the submissive has freely<br />
accepted.<br />
Along similar lines, the submissive may be forced to endure sexual<br />
relations with an individual they actively dislike or are repulsed by, as a proof<br />
of devotion to the dominant. Perhaps the submissive could be subjected to the<br />
administration of pain by an individual for whom he or she feels an active<br />
antagonism.<br />
<strong>The</strong> submissive who has learned to willingly accept the degradation<br />
and humiliation he or she suffers under the yoke of the master/mistress in<br />
private, may be absolutely mortified by having to abide the same cruelties in<br />
public or among friends previously unaware of the submissive's proclivities.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re are any number of sexual practices that a specific submissive may find<br />
abhorrent that can be efficiently applied to taboo-breaking magic. What may<br />
be completely acceptable to one magician may be beyond the pale for
