Erotic-Mystic Male Initiation Rites – Personal Ritual Retreat

I carry within me an untamed feminine mystery, once dormant and long-forgotten in time. My life drew to me a succession of direct experiences which recalled only fragments of this memory until, during a sojourn in Hellas (Greece), where on visiting the sacred sanctuary of Delphi and drinking from the serpent-guarded Castalian spring, I experienced an Elysium, a prolonged ecstatic state of communion with the sensuality in Nature.

She aroused in me a profound recognition and remembrance of the act of sacred sexuality, as the gateway to merge with the divine. This elation was followed by what can be described as years of silence from the beauty I had once witnessed. Unable to discern the source of the separation, I retreated from the world.

Then, during an all-night shamanic ritual, the connection returned, together with sequences of spontaneous trembling in my spine until they culminated in an embodiment of a serpentine elemental force. With an explosive surge of power through my body, She revealed herself as fierce, sapient and sublime. When the episode subsided, I came to the realisation that by drinking from the sacred waters I had undergone a rite of passage to become a vessel for the primordial Goddess. I had received the gift of self-realisation.

In the years that followed, my ability to embody the divine feminine strengthened. She expressed herself through storytelling and chants to recall ancestral memories. She revealed the significance of the male sacred-sexual initiation rites and the universal narrative of the Goddess and Her dying-and-rising immortal lover. These revelations prompted me to seek confirmation in the sacred myths and esoteric mysteries of ancient cultures. On discovering the many synchronicities with what I had personally experienced, I became resolute to fulfil my calling.
