QUOTE (MindandPen @ Apr 15 2010, 09:45 PM)  It almost appears that sex magic could be a minor version of the blood magic rituals used during the Great Ghost Dance. In the Atzlan sourcebook, Jaguar indicated that they were doing rituals to revitalize the Amazonian forests without using Blood Magic that would cause another mana spike. Could they have been doing sex magic rituals? Sexual Earth Healing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

I'd recommend not focusing on the trappings too much, rules-wise. Except for blood sacrifices (which are mostly Bad and Wrong), the SR magic rules don't seem to care what specific rituals you use to power your magic, be it sex, dancing, or Zen meditation. So there would be no need to make up overly-detailed rules for sex-magic - just state that's what your tradition does in their ritual castings or summonings.

Didn't the word "orgy" mean "sinister pagan sex ritual" before it meant "promiscuous group sex?"

Since it makes me think of Romans having a wild sex party I think your other meaning would have to be over 2,000 years old.

Tangent: When I read this topic the first thing that came to mind was George RR Martin's Wild Cards' character, Fortunato. Kind of a magic / supers guy that derived his power via tantric sex.

I really wish I could find the first 15 novels of the Wild Cards series... there are some new ones out, but I really miss those first ones... Keep the Faith |

Wow - there have been 15 novels in the series? I read the first 4 or 5 waaaay back in the day when it first came out and then with school / life / etc. kinda lost track. Guess they kept pumping them out over the years. Might have to see if they ever came out in ebook / kindle or something.

From what I remember, there were 15 original books...tht was back in the 90's (mid or so) In Barnes anbd Noble last month, I noticed that there were 3 new ones on the shelves, not of the original 15... I asked if the originals were available, even on an order, and they could not even pull them up to order... it was quite a sad revelation... Keep the Faith |
