DARK AND SWEATY: A RITUAL TO LILITH

 He has driven for eight hours to see me. 

He brings with him the things I have demanded of him. Twelve long stemmed red roses. A white dressing gown. A bottle of single malt whisky. His utter devotion. 

I have offered him this: that I will cleanse him, that I will show him the dark feminine divine, and that I will fuck him. 

By the time he arrived he was already a mess. 

I had turned the house into a occult play space, from spa bath to lounge. It was now dedicated to Lilith. Lilith is not usually a goddess of sex for me, but in this case I felt it was worth the risk. Lilith has three daughters/sisters/aspects, as described here by Asenath Mason of the Temple of Ascending Flame:

     The Four Angels of Prostitution is a title attributed in the Qabalistic lore to Lilith,             Naamah, Agrat bat Mahlat, and Eisheth Zenunim. They are described as succubi,             demonic entities inciting erotic dreams and stealing semen from sleeping men for the         purpose of breeding demons and evil spirits. They all are also believed to be partners of     Samael, the Prince of Darkness and the ruler of the Qliphoth - the Kingdom of Shells.        They reside on the border of dreaming and waking, at the gate between the physical             world of manifestation and the astral plane, where they introduce the traveler of the             Nightside into mysteries of their sexual gnosis.*

 So you can see here the aim of the ritual. And the vibe. It was dark and sweaty and hot and nasty and there was blood on the roses and a lot of lube. And he did well, considering he was exhausted and well wrought, and he was truly not the same afterwards.

My first ever ritual on the Left Hand Path was to Naamah, and it was way over-engineered, involving half the night, getting lost on a river bank in the dark, and breaking a coffee grinder trying to grind a crystal. It worked though. I think first rituals have a heft to them that comes from a mixture of singularity of purpose and ignorance. But Lilith in her entirety is a far more wary proposition. I will never be comfortable with her. 

There is a small market for this kind of D/s ritual. You can charge a lot for it, for the right person, in the same way most fetishes have a niche. You need to know your sub well, and be confident of their mental and physical health. There are men out there who trawl the local Fetlife pages and sex worker sites asking to submit to a powerful domme, but most of them are not up to it and they are active only online anyway. I did this one unpaid, but the dynamic is important. The sub pays for everything. Demand things that are rare and hard to get, and then you can decide whether or not they will suffice. The sub has to work for it. You provide the ritual and the environment and the psychic heavy lifting. But they do the grunt work. So be impressive. Show the implements. Choose the best music. Dress the room. Attend to detail.  

Most of all, take the magic seriously. Whenever you evoke your Red Goddess, you invoke too a little. You take some of it into you. When you invoke, you take as much of it into you are you are able.  When you approach Lilith in her antinomian power, who need to be up for it. Whatever flows through you may be greater than you. So, (lol) be the Goddess you want to see in the world. 

And as always, blessings on you, gentle reader.
