Freedom Of Religion

"Would the bill of rights, in this state, exempt the people from paying for the support of one particular sect, if such sect were exclusively established by law? If there were a majority of one sect, a bill of rights would be a poor protection for liberty. Happily for the states, they enjoy the utmost freedom of religion. This freedom arises from that multiplicity of sects, which pervades America, and which is the best and only security for religious liberty in any society. From where there is such a variety of sects, there cannot be a majority of any one sect to oppress and persecute the rest. Fortunately for this commonwealth, a majority of the people are decidedly against any exclusive establishment - I believe it to be so in the other states. There is not a shadow of right in the general government to intermeddle with religion. Its least interference with it, would be a most flagrant usurpation."
-President James Madison

Quote For Today

"In nature there is only the love of the heroic age, 'when gods and goddesses loved.' At that time 'desire followed the glance, enjoyment desire.' All else is factitious, affected, a lie."
-Leopold von Sacher-Masoch

Quote

"A lake has several ghats. At one the Hindus take water in pitchers and call it 'jal'; at another the Mussulmans take water in leather bags and call it 'pani'. At a third the Christians call it 'water'. Can we imagine it is not 'jal' but only 'pani' or 'water'? How ridiculous! The substance is one under different names and everyone is seeking the same substance; only climate, temperament and names create differences. Let each man follow his own path."
-Ramakrishna

Moralistic Error

"A brother was accused of sinning and the brothers asked Abbas Moses what should be done. He remained silent and then got up and filled a tattered sack with sand. This he took on his back and carried a small sachet of sand in his hands before him. The Fathers asked what this meant and he said: 'The sack on my back is the heap of my sins. I carry it behind me so I can't see it. The sand flows out unnoticed and is lost from sight. This little sachet is the sins of my brother. I hold it before me so I can see it and I spend my time condemning them. Surely this is not the way to act. Should I not rather carry mind in front of me, keeping them always in sight and begging God's pardon?'"
-Unknown

Dominance, Submission, and Spirituality

"obedience was seen as, in itself, a virtue. It's power for good consisted in the fact that obedience negates the will."
-Peter France

"Submission and temperance break in the wild horse."
-St. Antony

Altar

"Madonna, Mistress, I shall build for you an altar of my misery, and hew out of my heart's remote and midnight pitch, far from all worldly lust and sneer, a niche enameled totally in gold and blue where I shall set you up, and worship you."
-Baudelaire

Alternative sexual expression, bdsm, fetish, these things add spice for many of us, are like the topping on the vanilla ice cream. For others, these are the way in which our whole sexuality is explored.

Today we bring you two sexy female dominants, Ms. Ishtar and Ms. Milliscent.

Troublesome People

We came together over 10 years ago, and began inviting others to join us in our sex magick practice. In all that time we have met and been intimately involved with a large number of people. We hope that we can all add something valuable to each others lives.

Outsiders, people new to sex magick groups might feel that opening up such rituals could be dangerous, and that one would be bombarded with scary people. Our experience has shown that nothing could be further from the truth. In all the time we have been inviting people to join in our activities we have only ever met one person whom we felt could be dangerous. Even he never overtly threatened anyone, but he gave off a scary vibe and seemed to have an extremely hot temper on a short fuse. For that reason we thought it best to distance him from the group, and we excluded him from our activities.

Our expectations of so many years ago were wrong, we are thrilled with virtually everyone we have met, and the closeness experienced by us all.

Given our experience we must say to those thinking of joining a magickal group, don't be afraid, as in all parts of life there are occasionally unpleasant people, but they are extremely rare. We think much more rare in the magickal world than in the more mundane.

A New Deck

Yesterday the new Tarot Erotica Deck arrived. We were very pleased with the fast service and shipping provided by the Astrology Center of America.

The deck is quite unique, beautifully illustrated, and we think will prove good for reading. As promised by it's name the deck is quite erotic.

The deck backs are reversible, a feature we miss in many cards today.

The deck is well balanced between female and male figures, and pansexual. Gay, straight, and other are all well represented and honored.

The printing seems very well done, but the card stock and finish could have been better.

Standing out right away was the fact that The Universe and Judgment are reversed in number.

More detailed study of the decks imagery reveals that while the cards are quite unique, the traditional meanings of each card can still be easily inferred.

Some of our favorite cards include:

The 8 of Stars (pentacles) which depicts an Asian tattoo artist diligently working on his female subject.

The 5 of Swords which depicts a victorious female warrior and her two vanquished subjects, one male, one female.

The 4 of Stars (pentacles) which depicts a young woman's body locked away with her trinkets and treasure.

The 3 of Stars (pentacles) which depicts a craftsman completing his statue of a nude angel.

The 5 of Stars (pentacles) which depicts a male penitent flagellating himself before the priestess / Goddess.

The 3 of Swords which depicts two males angrily assisting a female sword swallower.

The Tower which depicts a shattered building of stone crafted to look like an erect and circumcised penis.

The Star which depicts a nude female front torso in blue white and black.

The Moon which depicts a nude female rear torso in full vivid color.

We will enjoy using this unusual deck, we will also likely purchase a second copy as a collectable.

The Checkup

Even when our lives seem perfect, and there is nothing on our minds it can be helpful to do a general tarot reading covering the various aspects of our lives. It serves as a checkup on our spiritual health much as a yearly visit to the doctor even if nothing seems wrong serves as a checkup on our physical health.
