of the unmistakable kundalini energy from one sexual consort to another has<br />
already been described.<br />
A common maithuna posture is the lata sadahna position, so called because<br />
the shakti embraces the entirely immobile man just as the lata, or creeper<br />
plant, wraps itself around a tree. In bhagasana, the couple's bodies remain<br />
outwardly immobile throughout the rite, whilst the well-trained female<br />
initiatrix works the muscles of her vulva on her consort's erect penis,<br />
fastening it ever more tightly in place within her.<br />
Savasana recreates the yogic posture seen in images of Kali<br />
mounting dead Shiva. Sava means "corpse", which has given rise to the<br />
Tantric pun that "Shiva without Shakti is Sava"; male consciousness lacking<br />
female power is a corpse. In savasana, the male lays prostrate beneath the<br />
female in a state of death-like trance and muscular relaxation, while she rides<br />
his erection, incarnating the dominant, active force of shakti. This corpse<br />
109<br />
posture is linked to the age-old recognition that orgasm is often experienced<br />
as a kind of death, a verity communicated in the well-known French<br />
description of the ecstasy of sexual climax as le petite mort, "the dear little<br />
death".<br />

A multiplicity of sexual positions, or asanas, are taught to the<br />
celebrants of the sinister current. Almost all of them are focused on the<br />
female active/male inactive principle that has traditionally been thought to<br />
be the most efficient way to create the altered state of consciousness and<br />
flow of male-female energies into each other. Quite commonly, the sexual<br />
position taken during sinister current coition allows both partners to assume<br />
a seated face-to-face asana, with spines erect to more easily allow the flow<br />
of kundalini from sexual center to brain.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Mukha-Maithuna asana of mutual genital adoration (the "69"<br />
position), can also be a powerful bioenergy exchange of masculine and<br />
feminine essence. This creates a kind of sexual closed circuit, permitting the<br />
celebrant's energies to course through each other in a continuous and<br />
unbroken flow, an exchange of erotomagical power that can be compared to<br />
the uroboros, the alchemical serpent that swallows its own tail. <strong>The</strong> physical<br />
distillation of the united Shakti/Shiva forces are contained in the substance<br />
of the sexual elixirs. <strong>The</strong>oretically, the orally operative adept consumes the<br />
contrasexual essence emanated through his or her partner's genitals, a rite of<br />
mutual sexual vampirism enacted through oral-genital feeding.<br />
It should go without saying that if you have no knowledge of your<br />
consort's sexual history or health, ingestion of sexual fluids during a<br />
working should not be considered. Any magician who ignores these<br />
precautions cannot truly be said to exercise the conscious approach to all<br />
physical manifestations that the sinister current adept seeks to maintain. <strong>The</strong><br />
sleeping human surrenders to sexuality and its possible long-range<br />
consequences of pregnancy and disease as if in a dream, accepting whatever<br />
comes of it with passive inertia; the erotic initiate must be fully awake to all<br />
of the potential aftereffects of any sexual union.<br />
<strong>The</strong> erotic interaction of the immobile male sex partner, incarnating<br />
the Shiva force on earth, and the active female, embodying the terrestrial<br />
Shakti power, often seems off-putting, or at least unfamiliar, to Western men<br />
and women. In the West, copulation very often takes the form of the female<br />
prone on her back in the so-called missionary position, while the male<br />
thrusts into her, using her vagina as a kind of masturbatory tool. <strong>The</strong> very<br />
different physical arrangement called for by the left-hand path rite<br />
necessitates that the female initiatrix uses her yoni in a much more active<br />
manner than is common among Western women.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Yoni <strong>Of</strong> Shakti<br />
In Tantric tradition, women who are trained to take on the role of shakti, or
