Sado-Masochistic Ritual in a Thelemic Context by: Raven Greywalker
In a sense, you will find that it does not matter what stance you take in bondage and discipline games. Either role done well transcends into the other, and to be done well both require trust. as innana was stripped of everything but her thelemic trust in self, so will each participant be left naked of all but will.
Both dominance and submissiveness, to be effective, must be willed acts (hence of a dominent nature). yes, the submissive makes a choice, a very brave one, to put hirself into the power of another. By doing so, she creates the illusion of helplessness that gives hir permission to be more vulnerable and open than she could normally allow hirself to be.
The dominent is then compelled by the submissive, with respect for the submissives limits to explore and push against emotional blockages. Both parties are, in a way, submissive to each other's needs and desires, or the game playing will not be effective.
Alternating roles to yield the most intense results as this develops the dynamic of master and slave within. as within, so without. This mirroring between interior and exterior culminates in an orgasm of transcendence in which one is no longer defined by the limitations of an either/or neither/nor universe.
Each must be governed by hir own instinct and follow hir own inclination.
