Let's see if we have any in common here: Keep in mind that those were just examples I pulled to show the kind of stuff they have, not meant as my own particula wish list (which would probably end up being prohibitively long).

It has little to do with heterosexuality or homosexuality, but rather as the joy of raw power conjoined with the strength to control it. Sort of like a really wild fuck, however you prefer.... The female equivalent of such an operation would be to INvoke Babalon upon herself, and Evoke the Beast on her partner (whether or not he's aware of it). At this point in the operation, both powers are above the Abyss, as explosive power and total containment. He fills her completely and She holds him tight. Both realize that they are one, because what the magicians are actually uniting with is not the person they are with, but the deity that they have evoked upon that person. In that sense, they have made their partner a living talisman, containing the power of the opposite (animus or anima), and united their Self with it. Done properly, the Rite is an initiation in itself. Done imperfectly, it's still really good sex, right?

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. CP > You did notice the Westcott on the Bembine Table of Isis, yes? Yep. Turns out a local store has it in stock as well. In an appendix of _Yeat's Golden Dawn_ there's a list of what was in the Westcott Hermetic Library. Ever hear of one by Eliphaz Levi titled _The Shemhamphorash and the Keys of the Tarot_?
