#144 Sex Magick & BDSM: Occultism, Ritual & Altered States with Sanhre Daffowt

Can sexual energy be used in magick? And could BDSM, ritual and altered states of consciousness be connected in ways we don't yet fully understand?

The Erotic Realm podcast explores eroticism in all its forms, including the darker desires of BDSM and kinky sexuality. It’s mission is to humanise eroticism one erotic realm at a time.


In this episode I’m joined by Sanhre to explore the fascinating intersection of sex magick, BDSM, occultism, chaos magick and erotic spirituality.

We explore:

  • What occultism, chaos magick and sex magick actually mean.

  • The relationship between BDSM, erotic energy and spiritual practices.

  • Aleister Crowley and the idea of sexuality as a sacred force.

  • Subspace, topspace, deep rope states and altered consciousness.

  • The neuroscience of BDSM and its possible parallels with ritual experiences.

  • Sigil magick, intention, belief and the ethics of magical practice.
