I don’t know if you’re anything like me, but have you ever wondered what the female orgasm is for? I always used to, until my understanding about our place in the cosmic order was widened and deepened through the practice of shamanism. 

I can teach you all about that perspective in this book about Sovereignty, because the two topics are intrinsically inter-related. Queens confer a spiritual boon of Sovereignty on kings through shamanic sex magic.

But anyway, let’s begin at the beginning because we have a fair way to go…and we have to start with the female orgasm.

It used to seem incredible to me that such a beautiful experience, with its deep, profound and tingling waves building up to a thundering climax of ecstatic bliss that undulates through the body and then hovers, like a warm honey bee of buzzing beatitude for a long time afterwards, didn’t appear to have any impact on the health of the physical body – other than the generation of a few “pleasure hormones”. 

If you so much as clear your throat, or sneeze, there is a physiological impact on your wellbeing in that, at least, you get to shift some mucus.  Not so, apparently, this pounding and throbbing Jefferson Starship through the gates of the Garden of Earthly Delights.  It has no raison d’être at all, it seems! Just ecstasy for the sake of ecstasy. 

In my former life, when I was a holistic health journalist, I’d been surprised to find that the medical textbooks had no use at all for the lovely female orgasm, unlike the male’s eruption of sperms from the phallus that, at least, can claim to be a vital factor in conception.

A few years ago, I learned that some scientists at university in Finland had undertaken a study to find out whether the female orgasm had any evolutionary purpose.   When they published their work in 2011, they concluded that the female orgasm has no function or use whatsoever, evolutionary or otherwise. You may have read Elizabeth Lloyd’s book The Case of the Female Orgasm: Bias in the Science of Evolution? Well, in it she hypothesised that there may be no evolutionary imperative for the female orgasm; that it was merely because women share biology with men, making the female orgasm an accidental by-product of Nature. 

As you would expect of the more practical male, his orgasmic ejaculation, in evolutionary terms, seems to be a straightforward and simple no-nonsense affair.  This has, so far, been explained by the theory that the male orgasm furthers man’s evolution because the pleasure it gives makes men want to have sex more often. You could say the same for the female of the species if they all experienced orgasm … but the trouble with that theory is they don’t. Female orgasms are not so simple to fathom, even in the animal world.   

For instance, all male animals orgasm but not so female animals.  Gibbon ladies, for instance, do not enjoy such When Harry Met Sally-like raptures. And in humans, it turns out that men are far more likely to orgasm than women, of whom one in 10 don’t ever get to its experience its delicious delights. Added to that, the most common experience of climax with women is the clitoral orgasm, which can be experienced in its full Hallelujah Chorus glory without contributing at all to the population of the planet. Not so many enjoy the full orgasm that comes from the stimulation of the so-called G zone, higher up in the vaginal channel, although, even then, when you can get it to gloriously explode into the Light of a Thousand Suns, it still doesn’t appear to boffins to have any practical and sensible purpose at all.

However, unlike the geneticists who once decided to call DNA for which they could find no purpose “junk DNA”, let’s not rush to label the female climax “junk ecstasy”. Just because scientists cannot discover what it is for, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t have a purpose.  They just need to find another way to view it. 

You may have noticed that when women talk about their orgasms, they seem to be describing a much more holistic and rounded experience, verging on ethereal ecstasy and spiritual transfiguration, than that described by their male partners.   

And now we’re coming to what this book is all about.

I’m sorry to be the bringer of bad news… I mean, we always try to follow the science. But modern Western scientists will never discover the purpose of the female orgasm so long as they continue to insist on using their very limited set of tools (no pun intended) and parameters for investigating it.  Their instruments of discovery only allow for outward, objective probing, when they need to turn them inwards, subjectively, which would then, automatically, widen and deepen their parameters to go beyond just this one dimension in which we find ourselves living on Earth. 

As Einstein discovered shortly before he died, all matter is governed by the energetic field – in other words, the health of the physical body is impacted by the auric fields which surround it, and which are invisible to the naked eye or microscopes of all but seers, shamans and mystics.

In ancient times, going back around 4-5,000 years into the Neolithic age, sacred shamanic sex rites would be performed  by priestesses or “sacred prostitutes” who were known, in the temples of ancient Mesopotamia, as hierodules. They had many different names all over the world. In ancient Britain, they were called cuens and they held the Sovereignty of the cuentry or country.   These women were trained in the teachings of the Mystery schools to use shamanic techniques which enabled them to experience their climax as much a function of the auric or energetic field as the physical body. In other words, the purpose of the orgasm was not considered to be just for the physical body but for the whole mind-body-spirit continuum.   

Now, while this may not impact on evolution as understood by Darwinists, it has a vital application to the overall higher evolution of our true selves, the spiritual being currently residing in the human body. 

The kings and pharaohs of Babylon and Egypt would spend the nights of their coronation with the High Priestess or top hierodule of the temple, so important was sacred sexuality regarded in those days to the Sovereignty of the Land.  The ruler was expected, in this way, to undergo spiritual transfiguration through shamanic sex practices, in order to be enlightened and thus wise enough to rule over others. It was widely understood until relatively recently, in royal courts, that the king gained his right to rule, the Sovereignty, from the land.  The hierodule or cuen would have been — and still is — married to the spirit of the land, and she would act as a conduit for the transmission of the Sovereignty to the new king through these sacred shamanic sex rites. 

So you might be wondering, why haven’t you heard about this before? Well, until the early 1960s, most forms of shamanism and mysticism had been driven underground in the West – initially by an impetus begun by the Roman Catholic Church of Constantine’s empire in the 4th century; but more latterly, whatever vestiges had managed to cling on were stamped under foot by the so-called Age of Enlightenment of Western material science.  So many shamanic teachings were lost, including this one. 

However, modern research into the hidden teachings of the past show us that love, not sex, was the key to these Mystery teachings, which were based upon a Gnostic or more holistic way of knowing that included the objective and subjective equally.   This is why the Bible refers to “knowing” a woman in the love-making sense of the word, because Gnostic “knowing” is all-encompassing.   

The female orgasm, in its optimal holistic expression, is all about the fullest flowering of that love – spiritual love and adoration of the Most High. Sacred sexuality is also very much about self-empowerment, because it brings the practitioner into much more holistic self-awareness.   

Shamanic sexual ecstasy is not just about the love between human sexual partners. It is also about the eternal love which exists, across the dimensions, between humans and the all-knowing entities or gods that oversee the spiritual evolution of Man. 

So much of this teaching has been hidden for so long and until it is taught properly again, sex will continue to be misunderstood and channelled into the perverted and violent practices that are destroying our human experience today. 

Paedophilia, bestiality, rape, genital mutilation and gender confusion… in fact, any kind of sexual relations which do not honour, with loving consent, the inner divine being of the other, are a cruel abomination and a crime against the natural laws of Dharma.

The spirits teach that the human being will continue to find the need to wage war, one against the other, so long as he cannot learn to stand naked on the edge of total ecstasy through loving and trusting relations with his beloved.  In the absence of that divine initiation, Man needs the thrill of imminent death, which is itself the experience of standing on the portal of another world and thus a spiritual initiation… and this leads to dangerous, auto-erotic practices that be fatal.

To feel such utter ecstasy is an innate need in all of us and so, if the divine way to that state is blocked, its expression will be sought by going in the opposite direction. And so you see, in hiding this knowledge from humanity, our rulers have robbed us of our natural birthright, our stairway to the heavens… and this is slowly turning the human being into a venal monster, fit only to fight and commit bloody atrocities against his fellow man in endless, perpetual warfare. 

We have become disempowered through our inability to be in touch with our whole inter-dimensional selves, which is beyond just the mind and the body.  This interruption to our natural design renders us into more willing slaves who are slowly being reduced to having to rely on drugs and violence for our kicks amidst an inevitable wasteland of ever-increasing social ills and disease. 

So where does this knowledge come from, you might be asking? 

You will be able to independently verify, if you so choose, most of the information supplied in this book, because it comes from mythological and archaeological sources already published in the public domain. But I’ve also learned a fair amount of these Mystery teachings, as they were once known, from my spirit guides.   I’m what’s known as a shaman and there’s more about what a shaman actually is and does further on in this book.    

But suffice to say, shamans are among many kinds of seers and mystics who interact with the other dimensions and the spiritual entities they meet there.  It is in these otherworlds that the spirits give shamans various kinds of guidance, information and healing for them to bring back to this world.  

The Alchemical Marriage

Some shamans or mystics enter into romantic and sexual relationships with their spirit guides, and sometimes they marry them in those other worlds – not on Earth but in those other dimensions. This is a kind of specialised shamanic healing on a planetary scale.   Its purpose is to ensure the continuance of the Creation by an extraordinarily ecstatic act designed to create new worlds of new realities, through an implosion (and not explosion) of Divine Love.  It is sometimes referred to, in ancient alchemical and magical texts, as the Faery Marriage, the Alchemical Marriage, the Divine Marriage or the Marriage of the Sun and the Moon. 

Sacred shamanic sex magic is an occult teaching… and I hope this term doesn’t bother you.   The word “occult” doesn’t mean anything spooky or evil; it’s just the Latin word for “hidden”. This teaching was always hidden from the masses and only revealed to a few chosen initiates when it was part of the Mystery teachings. After that, for the past 2,000 years at least, it has been buried by a religion which may possibly have even forgotten it has hidden it, let alone which Vatican vault it’s buried in. 

No doubt this knowledge has been withheld from us during these past millennia because it is ultimately extremely empowering to the human being, to be in touch and thus in “wholly communion” with their own all-knowing spirit guides, rather than relying on a religion which pretends to do it for them with a make-believe jealous and vengeful God. A few scraps of this occulted knowledge have managed to survive this religious holocaust and they are found within the ancient texts from the Sumerian, Babylonian, Egyptian, Celtic, Indian, Tibetan and Taoist traditions.   

It is when these writings are compared with the stories in the Bible, in an academic discipline known as comparative mythology, that we can finally see these myths in context and for what they once really were. 

When the ancient stories from all these texts are viewed through a shamanic perspective, we can finally understand the hidden meanings of the metaphors found buried within them, such as those about Dionysus and Eros, and even the ancient Hebrew myths (largely derived from Sumer) like the Woman at the Well and, from Genesis 6:2:

“The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose”.  

The Holy Grail

After reading The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar, you will better understand the true allegorical spiritual, alchemical and sexual meanings underlying the concepts of the Chalice, the Holy Grail, the Cruet of Joseph of Arimathea, the Creatrix, the Emerald Tablet, the horned god Pan, the Questing Beast, the Song of Solomon, the cup that overflow’eth, soma, amrit, the ambrosia of the gods, the Lily and the Rose, the Living Waters, the Land of Milk and Honey, the Promised Land and Life Everlasting. 

That said, none of those remnants of scriptural or mythological knowledge remaining to us have provided nearly enough information to completely reconstitute and resurrect these sacred sexual practices.   And so it’s been imperative for a few mystics like myself to be taught it from scratch by the inter-dimensional spirit guides while in the shamanic trance. 

My guiding spirits started teaching me this before I’d found the texts to explain, in terms that I could understand, exactly what was going on.   I must admit, I found it to be very confusing at first.  I didn’t even know whether I was doing the right thing or, long before I’d managed to deconstruct my Christian conditioning, whether I was committing some sort of sin. But the spirits gradually started to lead me in my understanding, by strewing the appropriate ancient texts across my path, and then they taught me the true meanings of the metaphors and allegories contained within them, and how to understand what I was practising. 

So in The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar, you will learn that shamanic sex magic isn’t just a nice idea, a belief system or a matter of faith.  It is a very specific practical application of a spiritual teaching which works to empower and heal the individual in the wider sense.  It is the ultimate in self-transformation and it is so powerful it changes lives on many levels. It’s not a New Age teaching – it’s very Old Age, in fact, which is why I’ll be giving you first a little grounding in the way our early ancestors thought, which was very different and much richer and deeper in its philosophical scope than how we think today.   

Contrary to what Darwinism teaches us, those who came before us were much more sophisticated in their thinking and capable of creating multi-layered priestly languages like Sanskrit. They also erected huge, geometrically-complex structures, like the pyramids, the construction methods of which still remain a mystery to us today. 

But it’s important to understand at least one vital aspect of our earliest forebears’ cosmological and philosophic cognitive framework before proceeding, so that the mythological component of this book makes sense. 

While we perceive ourselves as living in just one world today, those of the Palaeolithic and Neolithic ages perceived themselves as living in at least three worlds. They lived in tribes led by shamans who “journeyed” by trance into the inter-dimensional worlds known as the Lower World, Middle World (of which this Earth is a small part) and the Upper World. 

These three worlds are not “off planet” in outer Space; they are in no way part of our known cosmos; they are in different dimensions …. ever-present, eternal dimensions which run parallel to this one. And in the same way in which we are not separated from these three worlds by Space, we’re also not separated from them by Time. The eternal spirits or gods that inhabit these worlds don’t need to come and go on rocket ships, as proposed by ancient astronaut theorists, because they are already are here and they always will be.

Thus we can understand that most of the ancient myths, including the Abrahamic ones in the Bible, started off as the orally-transmitted Mystery school mnemonic stories of the shamanic and seer teachers, and that these myths were set in those three worlds which have been translated by modern antiquarians as the Heavens (often represented by a holy mountain, like Olympus), the Earth and the Underworld. 

I then go on to describe the evidence for ancient sacred sexual practices which have been uncovered by archaeologists, bringing in the cave art, religious artefacts and sacred texts which have been unearthed in recent decades. I also explain a little about the rudiments of alchemy, to provide a deeper understanding about how sex magic works …but at the same time, I promise you, I keep it all quite simple.  

There is quite a lot to learn if you are to build yourself a strong enough foundation stone to go on to benefit from Part II of this book, in which I describe the practical methods to bring this spiritual way of lovemaking into your life and your relationships.  So please don’t be tempted to skip ahead. 

Who will benefit from reading this book? 

You will benefit from reading this book if you want to understand the metaphysical source of Sovereignty and learn how to work in partnership with it. 

You will benefit from reading this book if you wish to discover more about developing true sexual magnetism and how it relates directly to your own creative force. 

You will benefit from reading this book if you’re beginning to feel that there must be so much more to the human condition than what you’ve been taught, so far. 

You will benefit from reading this book if you’re searching for a way to develop your own self-empowerment and wisdom. 

You will benefit from reading this book if you have recently begun training in shamanism and are developing unexpected feelings for your spirit guides. 

You will benefit from reading this book if you’re sick to the stomach of the sexual perversion and violent atrocities being committed across this planet and would like to find the remedy for it. 

You will benefit from reading this book if you’re a modern Western scientist who is prepared to put down out-of-date tools and to open your mind, to try another way of looking at cosmological principles. 

You will benefit from this book if you’re looking for a way to, as the late pyschologist Carl Jung put it, reincarnate into your own life. 

I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t benefit from reading The Sacred Sex Rites of Ishtar, to be honest.   I’ve certainly benefitted enormously — in terms of my own spiritual growth — from writing it!
