Magick on the Edge edited by Taylor Ellwood
Metaphysical kinships are the bonds that unite us through this life and sometimes through many lives. Among the common definitions for ‘metaphysical’ are words like immaterial, incorporeal, and supernatural. In addition to those terms, I use metaphysical to refer to the subtle (or astral) body and the subtle energies in both living beings and the universe
surrounding them. ‘Kinship’ is the connection or relationship shared with another person, an affinity. As with biological families, these kinfolk are not always your chosen and preferred nor are they necessarily even close friends. There are those with whom you have bonded in this lifetime and therefore recognize the origins of the kinship, but there are also those with whom
you may have bonded many lifetimes ago who reappear in your life over and over. Kin of this nature are easy to identify. Are there people in your life who evoke tremendous emotional responses, sometimes without doing anything? Have you ever had a complete stranger settle into your life like they had always been there, sometimes as soon as you meet her? The chemistry between metaphysical kinsmen is electric and noticeable by any casual observer who might choose to pay attention, regardless of the amount of knowledge on energy or magick the observer might have.
My first conscious experience with this phenomenon came at a time when I was not particularly educated in magick. I was in college, 17 years old. I stumbled into the Draco Sanguis, which I now refer to as a luciferian chaos magick blood cult but, at the time, we simply called it ‘The Church’. In order to become a member of ‘The Church’, one had to drink the blood of a church member. When this was done, that person would be considered the son/daughter of the person who brought them in and the brother/sister to the other people who were also brought in by that same person. As it grew, it became an extended family of sorts.
The blood exchange was the core of it. We did not look at this as vampiric feeding, as would many blood fetishists or blood cults. It was deep; more intimate than sex, more personal than brotherhood, it was our manner of bonding and it was the energy that fed our egregore. In turn, the egregore fed each of us. It has been over a decade and I have only recently shed some of those blood bonds. These bonds are powerful enough to telepathically call another person and be called by another (regardless of geographic location), enter a person’s dreams, and bring prophetic dreams of kin when there is danger or suffering. Some of the bonds I formed then are still firmly in place. To the casual observer, ‘The Church’ was barely more than a bunch of gun toting, bad-ass, blood drinking, shock freak, college kids playing at something that was darker than they were. And, to an extent, that is what we were, but there was more to it than even we knew at the time. The bonds and the magick we formed lives on at a very personal, core level in each one of us to this day.
This so-called ‘cult’ introduced me to the darker side of magick. It taught me that light cannot exist without darkness. There were deeper mysteries, which I had missed out on while reading feel-good spellbooks and casting charms in high school. This realization set me off on a quest. Not long after leaving the church, I joined the Ordo Templi Orientis. The O.T. O. talked about fraternal bonds and, like the church, used the language of kinship (sister/brother/mother/father). It seemed familiar in that way but also more serious. I thought this would be where I could learn more about those mysteries, which had been teasing me with
brief glimpses into the other side of magick.
However, upon entering the Order, I made the serious mistake of relating its fraternity to metaphysical kinship. My logic being that the fraternal bonds were formed ritually through initiation and affirmed by a magickal oath. The difference is that the bond is not made individual-to-individual but rather individual-to-group, with ‘group’ encompassing people outside of the ritual temple where the bond was being formed, and thus is not personally reciprocated. Even though every member takes the same oath and each of them go through the same ritual, the meanings of the oaths and rituals are up to the personal interpretations of the individual and the definition of fraternity varies greatly from person to person. It was several years before I realized this because I was actively creating psychic bonds with members as I encountered them. It was only when I began to experience some of these bonds not being reciprocated that I realized not all members considered the title ‘sister’ or ‘brother’ to be relevant on the subtle level but simply held it to mean ‘members of the same fraternal order’. When I realized my mistake, I was very disappointed. This realization; however, led me to a new discovery: the mechanics behind the magickal egregore.
Gaetan Delaforge’s article, "The Templar Tradition: Yesterday and Today" sums up
egregore thusly:
“. . .an egregore is a kind of group mind which is created when people consciously come
together for a common purpose. Whenever people gather together to do something and
egregore is formed, but unless an attempt is made to maintain it deliberately it will dissipate
rather quickly. However if the people wish to maintain it and know the techniques of how to do
so, the egregore will continue to grow in strength and can last for centuries. An egregore has
the characteristic of having an effectiveness greater than the mere sum of its individual
members. It continuously interacts with its members, influencing them and being influenced by
them. The interaction works positively by stimulating and assisting its members but only as
long as they behave and act in line with its original aim. It will stimulate both individually and
collectively all those faculties in the group which will permit the realization of the objectives of
its original program. If this process is continued a long time the egregore will take on a kind of
life of its own, and can become so strong that even if all its members should die, it would
continue to exist on the inner dimensions and can be contacted even centuries later by a
group of people prepared to live the lives of the original founders, particularly if they are
willing to provide the initial input of energy to get it going again. If the egregore is concerned
with spiritual or esoteric activities its influence will be even greater. People who discover the
keys can tap in on a powerful egregore representing, for example, a spiritual or esoteric
tradition, will, if they follow the line described above by activating and maintaining such an
egregore, obtain access to the abilities, knowledge, and drive of all that has been
accumulated in that egregore since its beginnings. A group or order which manages to do this
can, with a clear conscience, claim to be an authentic order of the tradition represented by
that egregore. In my view this is the only yardstick by which a genuine Templar order should be measured.”
The egregore of a group, if properly fed and maintained, is a living thing. That does not necessarily make it a magickal entity, though it can be. What made ‘The Church’ work was its egregore. The ritual, the meetings, the blood bonds, it all went to create a group consciousness, a unified mindset. This egregore allowed for psychic bonds to be made with other members, even when no blood had been exchanged, sometimes even when that person or persons never spent time together or had any direct energy exchange. We would exchange energies through the egregore. We were all part of one big, living, growing, moving, metaphysical plane. The egregore was inside of us. When we took in a person’s blood, that became part of our blood and when someone took our blood they were taking the blood of everyone we had ever drank from. But it was more than that, the egregore also lived outside of and separate from us. It was the manifestation of all of this energy, all of these bonds; it became a thing, a living thing, unto itself.
With the O.T.O., I am very tempted to say it is a matter of numbers; the Order is just too large. But that is really not the case. If promulgated like the egregore of ‘The Church’, though blood or psychic bonds, this kinship could be achieved and maintained
through the initiation rites of the Order. Magickal lineage is not the same as ancestral bloodlines, it is neither permanent nor guaranteed and it cannot be maintained without the proper and constant charge. If the initiate is not actively connecting to that lineage and drawing it into himself while simultaneously feeding back into it and becoming a part of this lineage then the lineage, the egregore, dies.
Presently, I build my own egregore through magick practiced with those whom I recognize as kin. Must a group be ‘kin’ in order to form an egregore? No, the Rotary Club can have an egregore. But, I firmly believe that when kinsmen come together for communion, fellowship, or magick an egregore is inevitably formed. On the other hand, two people can form a personal kinship without a large group egregore backing them or forming around them. After spending twelve years learning precisely what metaphysical kinship is, and precisely what it is not, I have come to the decision that it is a key element in my spiritual growth and magickal practices. In a moment, I will go into exactly how these bonds are formed and maintained, how they are used, and how they endure through lifetimes, but first I would like to address what they mean.
This is a topic I find hard to address without getting overly emotional. My kin stir deep, sincere emotion within me; though, don’t assume this is always a good thing. Earlier, I compared metaphysical kinship to biological families and herein lie the similarities. I love my kinsmen for being on my path but I am certainly not friends, or even on speak terms, with them all. Nonetheless, I feel their presence. I can love them stronger or fight with them longer than any one else on this plane of existence. When I meet with them I feel a strong tug on my solar plexus, almost like butterflies. With some, my bond is so very strong that their mere presence overwhelms me and makes me weepy with love and joy. There are those also that enrage me with their presence, but they too teach me and help me to grow. This kinship is deeper than this lifetime; it runs through the veins of my subtle body, it is engrained in my mystical DNA. When speaking about blood bonding I referred to it as ‘more intimate than sex, more personal
than brotherhood’. That is metaphysical kinship, by whatever means it is attained, it is that indescribable closeness, that merging of minds and souls with an invisible ‘family’ egregore, mingling energies with another human being and becoming forever one in the same!
There are several ways to form these bonds. This article focuses on new bonds only. Kinships from past lives can be recognized or renewed using any of the same methods but they have already been forged and will continue to exist, even if you and your kinsmen never meet in this life.
The primary methods for forming this type of bond are through blood exchange, sexual exchange (which is similar to blood exchanges in that it is based on the consumption of bodily fluids), psychic exchange, and tantric exchange (which is a specialized form of psychic exchange). For the purpose of this article, being on metaphysical kinship, it is assumed that all exchanges are reciprocated and thus the bonds mutual. It is my opinion that intent is irrelevant in whether or not a bond is formed. When your subtle energies are consumed by another person, and vice versa, a bond is created. Consent is equated to intent in that, without it, a mutual bond of this nature is hard to form. One-sided bonds can be made without express consent but do not form a kinship. In the case of these one-sided exchanges, with one giver and one or more recipients, intent can play a vital role. I will discuss how intent and consent relate to each method in later sections.
Blood is not merely a physical or bodily fluid nor is it the ‘essence of life’ in the mystical sense. What it is, however, is a conductive fluid of the person’s subtle energies. Biologically, as blood flows through the body it carries nutrients to the appropriate organs or limbs and returns carrying various toxins needing to be flushed out of the body. My theory is
that, as this is the biological or physical function of blood, there is also a connection with the blood and the energies of the subtle body. This energy is intertwined with the blood and carried through the body and out of the body just as nutrients and toxins are. Thus, when you drink in another person’s blood, you are drinking in her subtle energies and mingling them with your own.
It was explained previously, that in order to join ‘The Church’ one must drink the blood of a Church member. Once in the church, the blood exchange could go either way. In some cases it was a very intimate exchange between two lovers or friends who wished to increase the strength of their bond. In some cases it was an entire group where the blood was let into a chalice and then passed around. Blood was also used in ritual and regarded as highly potent, even sacred, thus increasing the meaning of the exchange by emphasizing the importance of the blood itself and the power it held. I said this was at the core of the church, obviously because it was a means of initiation, but also because it was an intimate bond between its members. It was a bond that would be defended with our lives and our honor, a bond that was respected above all. But these are just the physical and psychological results. The metaphysical results were slow and subtle (no pun intended).
First there was the sensation of drinking. This is also physical, to an extent, but I view it as the first step in forming the metaphysical bond. It is a very erotic thing (of course, some of us had pre-established blood fetishes but this was far beyond basic fetishism) and very intimate. I repeat that word ‘intimate’ often because, while it does not convey all that I mean, it
is the best word I have. In my experience there is a slight high, an elated feeling, as well as a sense of primal urge, animalistic and raw energy pouring into you. There is a warming of the solar plexus. I have also experienced a merging, of sorts, with the person I am drinking or that is drinking from me (though the POV changes the perception a bit in regard to how that feels). All of this is in reference to drinking directly from a person, either from a cut in the skin or a needle (sans syringe) pulling directly from a vein. I have never fully supported communal chalices or felt that they had the same potency when related to personal bonds, though I
believe this to work in the aspect of building of a group egregore.
Next, there is the attunement. When a blood bond is established the energy of the people involved changes slightly to become a bit more attuned with one another, this applies the same whether it is between two people or a group and regardless of how the
blood is shared (chalice or direct). I believe this to be the result of taking in and ingesting, both literally and figuratively the blood, and more specifically the subtle energies contained in the blood, of another person. This is where the kinship is truly formed. Beyond this, are things that come as a result of that attunement, which I will get to later, such as dreamwalking, calling, magickal karma, emotions, intertwining paths, etc.
Using this method, it is doubtful that an ‘accidental’ exchange is going to form a strong or enduring bond since there is really no way to take/give a large amount of blood or to repeatedly take/give blood from/to an unwilling partner; however, should it be done in a scenario where that is possible (i.e. a person is willing to give and receive the blood freely with no idea of the metaphysical ramifications) then the bond will be forged possibly with at least one participant being unaware. This can cause a variety of ill effects. A few examples: the unaware person(s) can begin to experience the attunement and begin feeling very emotionally involved with the other (this could even be mistaken for love); the unaware person can become vulnerable to psychic manipulation by the other; the knowledgeable participant may expect a closer bond with the unaware participant(s) and be disappointed that there is some disconnect in the relationship. On the other hand, if the exchange is made entirely unknowingly (i.e. two people or a group playing at blood fetishism with no concept or intent based in the metaphysical) the bond will exist but be weak and largely unused, most likely dissipating quickly due to the lack of psychic charge and most likely not be damaging to any party involved. This method is particularly dangerous when used in a one-sided exchange. It is here that intent plays a guiding role. If blood is taken in a vampiric sense then it is the recipient who controls that link and the power to use it. If blood is given in the sense of offering a bond then the giver is in control of that link and its power. The link is ruled by the intent of the energy exchange. In either case, true attunement does not occur and the bond is more a control tactic or dom/sub relationship than a kinship. There are obvious dangers in exchanging blood and extreme caution should be exercised on every level. Aside from the glaring health concerns there are subtle and metaphysical dangers to this as well. No exchange of this type should be entered into lightly.
Sexual exchanges are categorically related to blood exchanges in that the essence of the exchange is primarily contained within a bodily fluid. It is unfortunate that many who have been ‘raised’ in the school of western sex magick do not know, or at least do not appreciate, the differences between sex magick and tantra. Just to be clear, I provide this definition of sex magick:
“Sex Magick is the use of the sex act—or the energies, passions or arousal states it
evokes—as a point upon which to focus the will or magical desire for effects in the non-
sexual world. In this, Crowley was inspired by Paschal Beverly Randolph, an American
author writing in the 1870s who wrote (in his book "Eulis!") of using the "nuptive moment"
(orgasm) as the time to make a "prayer" for events to occur (Wikipedia).”
Metaphysical kinships formed through the act of sex can be both (or either) physical and psychic. On the physical side, the sexual fluids can be consumed or shared in an intentional and ritualistic way to create a bond person-to-person or person-to-group. They can also be used to charge objects of personal affinity, such as weddings rings, to strengthen existing psychic bonds. The fluids are often considered sacred and taken as communion to affirm a bond with another person or a deity or even a particular energy current. The mixture of the fluid is a key element and, while either seminal or vaginal fluid is potent in and of itself and can be used in both ritual and the creation of metaphysical bonds, it is the combination of these fluids that hold the true ‘life essence’ of the bond/ritual and thus is exponentially more powerful. One issue that I question is the ability to form a truly mutual bond without incorporating the sexual fluids of all persons involved; however, this does not necessarily have to involve both types of fluid. The attempt to create a bond without each participant’s fluids being joined would be much like creating a one-sided blood bond.
The psychic exchange in sexual magick draws heavily from the tantric tradition and often uses the assumption of god-forms. This exchange is typically made at the moment of orgasm and can be enhanced through participants placing their hand on the solar plexus of their partner(s). This particular method of exchange takes an incredible amount of energy, focus, and concentration. The sexual act generates energy and closeness in any context so in order to form a psychic bond under these circumstances the participants must be able to direct their wills through that disbursed sexual energy and distinguish each other’s individual subtle
energies to harness for the exchange. It is easy to fool one’s self into thinking this type of exchange has been made or that a bond has been formed when actually the emotional high is a residual effect of the sexual act. This energy will fade quickly and the false bond will leave the participants feeling flat, possibly even emotional hurt. I recommend only experienced sex magicians, with a firm fountain and understanding of energy manipulation and exchange, attempt this type of bonding.
A true kinship or bonds formed through either of these sexual methods must be consensual and mutually reciprocated. The same concerns applied to blood, psychic, and tantric exchanges, in regards to intent, consent, and the dangers also apply here. Short of the unethical side of psychic vampirism, this is probably the method most used to form nonconsensual and unbalanced links. These links are NOT kinship! Unintentional bonds made through sex are typically so muddled with various motives and emotions they are barely even noticeable beyond that context. These energy exchanges will fade like the unintentional blood bonds. It is important to remember that all sexual acts generate and exchange energy but that is not the same thing as forming a bond. When properly performed, sexual bonds result in much the same experiences as described under blood bonds.
Tantric exchanges can involve sexual acts but do not necessarily have to. Often, tantric practitioners do not employee sex in this type of yoga at all and if they do it is typically very controlled and ritualized. Tantric sex is more a means by which to generate and exchange energy than physical pleasure.
“In both Hinduism and Buddhism, esoteric tradition of ritual and yoga known for elaborate use
of mantra , or symbolic speech, and mandala , or symbolic diagrams; the importance of female
deities, or Shakti ; cremation-ground practices such as meditation on corpses; and, more so in
Hindu than in Buddhist tantra, the ritual use of wine, meat, and sexual intercourse. Tantric
practices use both ritual and meditation to unify the devotee with the chosen deity. In Hindu
Tantra, practice is graded into three types, corresponding to three classes of devotees: the
animal, i.e., those in whom the guna, or quality, of tamas (darkness) predominates; the heroic,
those in whom the guna of rajas (activity) predominates; and the divine, those in whom sattva
(goodness) predominates (see Hindu philosophy ). The practice of the heroic devotee entails
actual use of the five elements, called the five m 's: fish ( matsya ), meat ( mamsa ), wine (
madya ), aphrodisiac cereals ( mudra ), and sexual intercourse ( maithuna ). The animal
devotee, not yet ready for the heroic practice, performs the rituals with material symbols; for
the divine devotee the rituals are purely internal and symbolic. The object of the rituals,
attainable only by the divine devotee, is to awaken kundalini energy, which is identified with
Shakti, and merge with the Godhead. In Buddhist Tantra, or Vajrayana, in contrast to the
Hindu, the female principle of “wisdom” ( prajna ) is seen as static, whereas the male, or
“means” ( upaya ), is active. In Buddhism, rituals that appear to break basic moral precepts
have for the most part been dropped, but the complex meditation practices have been
retained. (Columbia Encyclopedia, 2004)”
As sexual exchange is to blood exchange, tantra is to psychic exchange. This is actually just one type of psychic exchange. Through yogic manipulation of energy, especially when dealing with Kundalini, very strong and enduring bonds are created. I believe this is going to happen with anyone who practices this type of yoga together, regardless of intent or purpose.
Tantra is a DEEP exchange, whether you are trying to form bonds or not, and when the produced energy is shared, or even more so when cycled, it penetrates to the core of both people involved (or more if in a group). This type of yoga (to the extent of my imagination) cannot be performed with a non-consensual partner, though it can be performed with an
untrained partner who might not be fully aware of the metaphysical connections created by it. It is also my opinion that this type of bond cannot be formed without reciprocation; any attempt to do so would be dangerous for both parties and tantamount to psychic attack!! I believe it impossible to form unintentional or nonconsensual bonds through tantric work unless you just
have no idea what you are doing. If you are doing tantra, it WILL form bonds; accept that as part of the work. This type of bond tends to be inherently laden with emotion, typically love, peace, and even the sense of overwhelming union. When in the presence of a person with whom you share this type of bond, it is not uncommon to feel sudden bursts of emotion such
as joy, happiness to the point of giddiness (almost intoxication), or weepiness.
Psychic exchanges, including tantric, form much the same type of bond as the blood/sexual exchanges since they are essentially sharing the same energy. The primary difference with psychic bonds, excluding tantric exchanges, is that there is no physical
marker, and often no ‘ritual’, to affirm this exchange. Another difference, related to the lack of physical exchange, is that psychic bonds can form more unconsciously than blood bonds. A person with whom you spend significant amounts of time and share high levels energy, and who returns that, can become kin through a psychic bond with no formal exchange or ceremony. This is rarely a new bond but more often a kinship from a past life rekindling itself; however, new bonds can be formed in this manner if the energy is strong enough. Ritual exchanges of energy for the purpose of bonding can, of course, be performed thus narrowing the differences between psychic exchanges and blood exchanges. I believe that the bonds from ritualized exchanges are stronger and more enduring than those from unconscious exchanges because the ritual represents a commitment beyond love and friendship, for which unconscious bonds can often be mistaken.
Psychic exchanges, whether tantric in nature or not, result in the same attunement as blood and sexual exchanges. The effects of each of these exchanges vary depending on the personal energy exchanged, the pre-established emotional connection between the participants, the mindset with which the exchange is entered into, and many other factors too numerous to list. It is my belief, and evidenced in my personal experience, that the strength of the bond is directly proportionate to the amount of energy (blood, sexual fluids, etc.) consumed and the frequency with which it is shared between the people holding the bond. A bond is unavoidably formed at the point of the exchange. The intensity of that bond is typically weak and more or less at a surface level (in terms of the connection into the subtle body). However, the amount of energy exchanged, the reciprocation of the exchange, and how often that bond is reaffirmed through subsequent exchanges, directly affects the level of attunement shared and thus the ability to call the person, make dream connections with the person, the level of intimacy shared by those who have bonded, and the duration of the bond. As said under ‘blood exchanges’, I also find that the means by which blood is shared, and this can also apply to energy in other forms, affects the strength of the bond as well.
The abilities shared by kinsmen come naturally with increased attunement. There are a few distinct abilities and characteristics that I have personally experienced or witnessed to be inherent in metaphysical kinships. These are telepathic summoning (or calling), dreamwalking, prophetic dreams, emotional transference, sympathetic magick, and exaggerated emotional reaction.
The Calling, allows kinsmen to be summoned to you (or vice versa) regardless of geographical location. It is most often projected as an intentional focusing of Will toward the person being called and received as an inexplicable nagging desire to speak to or see the person who is ‘calling’. This process is subtle and can be ignored as background noise should the person being called choose, consciously or not, to resist. The Calling; however, is not always intentional. If the bonds are freshly renewed or particularly strong the mere mentioning of a person’s name and focused thought on that person can cause them to be
summoned.
Dreamwalking is the process of psychically entering another person’s dreams or subconscious thoughts. This is best done when the person is sleeping though it is effective, to some degree, anytime the person’s conscious mind is blurred or distracted. This is not astral projection. The person doing the walking is still very much inside his own body and aware of his own conscious. It is more like bi-location, in which a person’s consciousness can be split and exist in two places and the same moment (Belanger, 2004). Dreamwalking can be a pleasant experience shared between close friends or lovers but it can also be a powerfully
negative tool used for spying, manipulation, energy theft, and more. To dreamwalk on someone without his or her consent is a psychic attack and should not be done.
An interesting side note: ‘The Calling’ and ‘Dreamwalking’ were terms used by members of ‘The Church’ to explain the powerful phenomena that came with such close and reinforced kinships. In years since I have searched for older references to these abilities but the only published mention I have found of either is Michelle Belanger’s book The Psychic Vampire Codex. The Codex was first published on the Internet in 2000 and as a book for wide release in 2004, far too late to be a source for these terms (Belanger, 2004). After reading her description of ideal energy exchanges among psychic vampires, it makes perfect sense though. She basically describes the process I have used here for forming psychic bonds. Following her ethical and preferred guidelines for energy feeding would undoubtedly form metaphysical kinships between the members of a House. I have
found her work very helpful in fulfilling the desire to put these experiences into words.
Prophetic dreams, emotional transference and sympathetic magick are the result of energetic ‘backwash’. They are more like side-effects than abilities. Creating an energy-based bond between another person and yourself permanently opens a psychic channel to that person through which energy is shared. Most people, without reaffirmed metaphysical bonds, repress or otherwise cope with their emotional stressors on their own. However, kinsmen can unknowingly share that emotional stressor with anyone to whom they have a link. When a kinsmen is in danger, afraid, or otherwise emotionally distressed, the act of
repression distributes the emotion rather than trapping it in the unconscious. This can manifest on the other end as nightmares or unexplained emotional rushes. Sympathetic magick works along the same principal but is the distribution of magickal karma. Any magician knows that there is a price to pay for all magickal work; some acts cost more than others. When linked in kinship, these side effects can sometimes branch out and not only hit you but all of your kin (or even specific members of your kin) should they not be properly protected by you or their own shields.
Lastly, I listed exaggerated emotional response. This too is more of a side effect than ability. The emotions between kin can be good or bad, love or hate, warm or cold, but they will never be indifferent. This response is more exaggerated than mundane emotional responses and can come on suddenly. The strong emotional response is probably the most telling sign of kin from former lives. This bond disrupts social time standards as well. Friendships and sexual relationships tend to move faster and run deeper than with non-kin. It is important to view these bonds as enduring not just through the course of a relationship but
beyond this lifetime. I caution against entering into kinship lightly because of this. A loving relationship in this life could turn into an abusive hatred in the next, or vice versa. There is no other bond in this reality, no one with the power to free your love and desire or to bare your soul to like this; nothing is dearer than this kinship. It should be honored and respected throughout time and understood by all. This is the fabric of the collective unconscious!
