Ritual Scourging

[qos]

I was making notes for my class this morning, and it suddenly occurred to me that I don't have any personal experience with ritual scourging as practiced in some branches of Traditional witchcraft (or other groups with codified rituals and initiations).

Does anyone here have that experience, or know someone who does who would be willing to share with me? Or have a pointer to good material on it? (There's an account in Kaldera's Dark Moon Rising, but I'd like to have several resources.)

You can comment here, refer friends here, and/or use the Send Message feature to contact me privately.

Thanks!

the farrars discuss it a bit in the witches' bible. not a lot.

Thanks for the pointer.

I did a little bit of googling today during some breaks at work, and most of what came up was people breathlessly affirming that Gerald Gardner was kinky and we-don't-do-that-kind-of-thing-now!
