Sacred prostitution, temple prostitution,
cult prostitution & religious prostitution
are general terms for a ****** rite
consisting of ****** *******
or other ****** activity performed
in the context of religious worship,
perhaps as a form of fertility rite
or divine marriage (hieros gamos);
Some scholars prefer the term sacred
*** to sacred prostitution in cases
where payment for services was not involved;
Ritual servitude is a practice in Ghana,
Togo, and Benin where traditional
religious shrines (popularly called fetish
shrines in Ghana) take human beings,
usually young ****** girls, in payment
for services or in religious atonement
for alleged misdeeds of a family member;
In Ghana and in Togo, it is practiced
by the Ewe tribe in the Volta region,
and in Benin it is practiced by the Fon:
|In projective geometry, Pascal's theorem
(also known as the hexagrammum mysticum theorem)
states that if six abstract points are placed
anywhere arbitrarily,
the points randomly | chosen form a conic
(i.e., ellipse, parabola or hyperbola);
joined by line segments
in any order to form
a rotational three dimensional
quantum space;
of the three pairs
of opposite sides
of the hexagon (extended if necessary)
meeting in three points
which lie on a straight line,
called the Pascal line of the hexagon:

Hieros gamos or Hierogamy
(Greek ἱερὸς γάμος, ἱερογαμία "holy marriage")
is a ****** ritual that plays out the marriage
between a god and goddess,
especially when enacted in a symbolic ritual
where human participants represent the deities; BS -
[a nice, hot **** is clearly what is meant]
The notion of hieros gamos
always presupposes literal ****** interaction
in ritual, but is also used in purely symbolic
or mythological contexts, notably in alchemy
and hence Jungian psychology.
