There are few practices within the Pagan commiunity that has gained such a notorious reputation and has become so scoundalous and has been so much the subject of fascination as sex magick, and rituals envolving the body, and the uninon of bodies. It is often portrayed as some sort of cultic orgy and linked to Devil Worship, though it can be a very beautiful.
As Pagans we understand the senseuality of the body, and the power of sexulaity, and the act of lovemaking and sex has played a part in rituals, and the sexual energy can be channdled and used in the practice of sex magick which can be very potent and powerful.
Sex magick is the practice of channeling energy generated from sexual expression into a desired goal through the use of symbolism and focused intent. Often this entails the ritualization of sexual activity through the use of applied breathing techniques designed to relax the body and mind. This can be followed by the invocation of deities into the bodies of the participants or working area. Finally the erotic energy is directed into a desired result by means of visualization. This is usually but not always, at the point of climax.
There are three kinds of sex magick
Monofocal - Focus is on one. This can be done through symbolism or self masturbation or assistance by another or even a group. This solitary method is good for divination purposes. You can alter your state of consciousness or work with a sigil in mind.
Duofocal - Focus on two. This is performed with two partners. Love is important for this focus, but don`t get this confused with the romantic kind of love. As Alleister Crowley states, "love is the law, love under will" . The purpose of this is to unite two opposites, for example : the man and woman, magnetic and electric, yin and yang.
Polyfocul - Focus on many, a group with one, a leader to guide the energy to serve a purpose. This form of sex magick is not meant to be an orgy, but it is sex with multiple partners at one time for the purpose of raising energies and being guided by a leader. The guide`s purpose is to organize and direct the energies.
