Sex Magic
Woman-to-woman relationships present differences in the arena of faith
and spirituality, unless partners are ready and armed with insight and
calm. Most people would say that lesbian spirituality isn’t any
different than t
he spirituality practiced by straight couples. Although there are more
similarities than differences, a woman-loving-woman situation can
present spiritual questions not otherwise encountered.
If the lesbian couple is pagan, many Dianic paths are available to
explore together, women celebrating womanspirit without the influence
of the male potential. Much
of what resides at the core of Lesbian paganism is a deep and lasting
affinity with the Goddess power. Lesbian pagans can relate in a
different way to the Earth Mother.
A
pagan path, isolating the male potential, can secrete unbalanced
energies. However, lesbian pagans generally acknowledge that each
human being holds within herself the duality of energies. We are a
culmination of both male and female potential, having gathered this
“experience” from lives lived and wisdom gained. We each carry
both genetic possibilities, among other scientific “dualities”.
Lesbian
lovers can celebrate as pagans, without feeling the lack of male
power, simply by acknowledging that power in ourselves. For rituals
such as the Great Rite, many lesbian couples choose to take on the
role of male or female for the sake of the ritual. Others choose to
disengage themselves from rituals of fertility and dual-sex.
No
matter the path a pagan lesbian takes, one thing is certain. She has
come to embrace the core spirit within her. If she has taken a
spiritual same-sex partner, they, as a couple, will celebrate love as
a spiritual foundation. Love has no definition and needs no
boundaries. Love knows no gender.
As
a meditation, the women lovers can engage in different sexual
practices to “power” sex magic. For example, the use of toys,
dildos, etc, would be less preferable than the act of mutual oral
pleasuring (69). The
ritual of oral contact at the same time, ensures that energy-flow is
open and circular, allowing the power to flow from vulva to mouth
dually. If visualization is strong and both partners understand the
pattern of energy flow in a sixty-nine situation, the power raised can
be awe-inspiring.
Alternatives
for the male principle in sex ritual can present a challenge ripe for
solving. Herbs, crystals and woods (no pun intended) all have some
which are female and some which are male principled. Choosing some of
each for a ritual can present the universe with a gender-balanced
merging.
That
being said, the lesbian couple must feel free enough to acknowledge
only the feminine principle if they so choose. A gender balance is NOT
essential to a spiritual path. On the contrary, if two loving women
can begin to understand themselves and their universe, celebrating
love and life, then they are on the right path. For that is the core
of spirituality… self-acceptance and love.
