C F Russell
C F Russell, Cecil Frederick Russell, Frater Genesthai, Fiat Lux
Thelemite; math; Ceremonial Magick; sex magick; 'Alphaism': magical chastity (less sexual abstinence, as such, than the abstinence from any sexual act which isn't also a dedicated magical act). The second is 'Dianism' (or 'Diana-ism'): prolonged sexual intercourse without orgasm in order to reach a 'borderland state' (on the part of the man; as usual in such cases, the techniques are primarily masculine-oriented). The third is 'Quodosch', which Russell also called the 'Formula of Jack & Jill': full sexual intercourse, with orgasm, equivalent to the OTO's IX° work. (quoted in both Culling: Sex Magick; Russell: Znuz, Vol. 3, pp 323–327)
