Sex magic in the west as performed in occult, Templar and Rosicrucian fraternities appears to be a bastardised form of Tantra including re-imaginings of the Kabbala within a Masonic grade structure. It could be well said that true Tantra does not involve any physical union whatsoever and involves only meditation and visualisation.
It was later that sex magic entered a regurgitated paganism born from a group in the 30's led by Gardner and Mabel Besant which led in turn to the current revival in neo paganism, Druidism and witchcraft.
Not all magical and occult lodges use sex magic however but some that do have proven to be shocking.
Is it necessary for spiritual development and group working?
The most infamous practitioners of course were Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons of the OTO.
It involves the breaking down of taboos to free the will and has been termed the left hand path (as opposed to the right)which Crowley and Parsons certainly achieved.
Yes, sex magic is related more to wiccan and witchcraft rather than Druidry apart from perhaps the writings of John Hughes but I think the revival in all things pre Roman and pre Christian was helped along by occult and esoteric societies in Victorian and Edwardian England.ceridwen wrote:
I am under the impression that sex magic is not related to druidic revival. Saying that there could be isolated druids that are into sex magic. Difficult to say because it is not an organized religion.
Not all wiccans are black magicians. s
Personally I think that is just another gimmick to exploit sexuality and totaly unnecessary to become spiritual. Most important that anything perhaps is re-conecting with nature and living in harmony with the seasons

So much for magick (not the real magic)
