Talk:Paschal Beverly Randolph
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
from article: However, the major difference between Randolph's sex magic and that of Reuss and Crowley is that Randolph was working from a standpoint of gender parity and the latter were male-centered exclusively. In practical terms, this means that Randolph sought to produce spiritual and magical effects through prayers or invocations agreed upon prior to the mutual orgasm of both partners ("the nuptive moment"), whereas Reuss and Crowley believed that women were little more than passive vehicles for male spiritual attainment and the male orgasm.
Citations? Some of this seems easy enough to show by quotation, but not the word "exclusively" or the implicaton that Reuss and Crowley rejected Randolph's method. I think I could show that this distorts AC's words somewhat, and I've seen conflicting claims about Reuss. Dan 18:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
