Q: Can Sex Magick Improve Other Areas Of My Life?

 A: Sex magick and magickal sex are often associated with the ancient Eastern belief system of tantra. In fact tantra encompasses more than mystical beliefs, such as the principles of meditation, yoga, and ritual, and it is a term that is often misunderstood. Nevertheless, tantric sexual practices have had much to teach the West about the power and beauty of sexual energy.

Here is a small and simple ritual adapted from Eastern wisdom that can be used to improve your life through harnessing the power of your own sexuality. However, as it is a ritual done in the spirit of love and sharing, do not use its power anything selfish or abusive.

Items needed:

• Frankincense essential oil
• Almond oil
• A loving and willing sexual partner (optional)
• A red candle

Checklist:
Best to use: When you have a particular, important goal in mind, or for healing or helping others.
How often: Not to often - this can be a very powerful form of magick and should not be overused.

Mix one drop of frankincense essential oil with two teaspoons of almond oil and put aside for later. Before your night of pleasure, prepare yourself by taking a long, dreamy, candlelit bath full of your favorite scent. Spend your soaking time visualizing what it is that you want to achieve. Upon getting out, wrap yourself in a bathrobe until dry. Place a dab of the frankincense and almond oil on your finger and anoint your body in the following three places; the third eye; over the heart; and just below your navel. As you do so, affirm the following: saying,

I anoint myself for this magical rite
The power I shall raise this night 
Is for the purpose of [state your purpose].
So shall it be
So shall it be
So shall it be.

Just before making love - either with a partner or yourself, light a red candle. Remember that the sexual act should be loving and not rushed; it is not merely the means to an end. At the point of orgasm, visualize your needs again strongly - I admit, this may take a little practice and imagine all of you released energy taking your wish out into the universe. Afterward, do not dwell on what you have asked for; just let it go and see what happens
