Sex magic in witchcraft
Feb
Nothing makes conservative minds more horrified than the phrase “sex magic”, presumably as it conjures up images of Satanic orgies and abuse used to achieve the most perverted of ends. Indeed this is the one aspect of Paganism, and the magical world in general, that is most often salaciously dragged through the tabloid press. Witches are not embarrassed of, or ashamed by the subject of sex. It is seen as being perfectly normal and enjoyable and as something that should be celebrated and venerated. After all, without it no human would exist. We owe our lives to sex and for some this seems to be a difficult thing to swallow.
As is usually the case though, sex magic has been blown out of all recognition by certain sections of the media and some religious organizations that have a vested interest in demonizing Wiccans. Perhaps the main difference between Witches’ views on this subject and large sections of the society that they live in is that Witches see that sex is a powerful way to make magic. As far as magical practice is concerned, sex has much the same effect on the mind and the body as chanting and dancing. That is, it stimulates and raises large amounts of energy and at the same time has a calming effect on the mind. Indeed, at the point of orgasm the mind tends to completely forget itself.
The most important thing that can be done when working magic is to reach the point of nothingness, the point at which the idea of self no longer exists. For it is here that a direct connection to the Divine can be established. This is the place from which all things arise, from where all things come to pass. The Witch or Magician strives to reach this state for here is the best place to work magic. When an intention or will for something to happen is cast into this void it travels quickly through the state of non-being into fruition; much more quickly than if it were let loose into the physical world with all its distractions and clutter.
The act of sex and, most specifically, the orgasm, provides one of the easiest ways to reach the required state of mind. Ideally, this kind of magic is best worked with partners of opposite sex who have the same intention. This is for reasons of female/male polarity. Here there is no reason why it cannot be achieved through all male or all female coupling or even through masturbation.
Like all things magical, sex magic takes practice. Here the difficulty is concentrating on the intention through an orgasm and releasing it at the correct time. Most people find this extremely difficult to achieve, primarily because the magical intention may simply not be very sexy or completely incongruous to the love-making.
That said, once mastered, this technique of magic is probably the most powerful there is. Great care should be used in setting an intention for this method. As always do not will things for others without their consent and knowledge and never use it for negative means.
Below is a suggested method for working sex magic:
• Prepare yourself for the act, you may wish to take a ritual bath.
