Dark Moon Rising: Pagan BDSM & the Ordeal
Path (Paperback)
by Raven
Kaldera (Author)
Synopsis
Throughout history, from the Hindu Kavadi ceremony to the Lakota Sun
Dance, the Ordeal Path has been an honored spiritual road to the magic of the
flesh, and to touching the Gods. Today many Pagans are discovering this path, by
accident or by design. Simultaneously, many practitioners of secular BDSM are
finding themselves having spiritual experiences in the middle of their most
secular scenes. This book explores the crossover points between both these
communities and practices, a cross-section which is growing steadily, baring
controversial articles on topics as diverse as sacred pain, bondage, hook
suspension, cathartic Pagan ritual, the spirituality of dominance and
submission, and being the slave of the Gods. With contributions by noted authors
and activists in both communities, and stunning photography by artist and
Shibari-Do master Bridgett Harrington, this book is an awe-inspiring gateway
into the Realm of the Underworld. and back again.
