RFD - Radical Faerie Digest — a queer reader-written journal since 1974

My Faerie Brothers of Planet GAIA:

I'm a strange creature yet an ordinary man in some ways--a being multiply-blessed. My partner Hyperion is a sort of vibrantly-living-legend among the Faeries. On the human level he might not like me say so, being humbly unpretentious, though a man of quite excellent self-esteem. Hyperion attened that 1st legendary gathering in Arizona/1979 with H.H. & Co. so he's been observing the evolution of the R.F.s ever since . . .

Though I did not KNOW this was my tribe until I first went to SMS with him in, was it 1998 or 9 (a dating I'd have to research a bit in our archives & photographic records) I guess I've been a Faerie all along. Not so long ago, we realized we're not only Faeries, but a pair of Elf Princes. This is no big ego trip, so much as a refinement of course-vectors in the charting of our personal evolution. It was Lady Galadriel who clued us in to this!

What connected me with my Beloved Hyperion originally in late 1995 was my own personal awakening from a basically-happy yet largely-insecure-about-my-body-&-appearance mere mortal . . . to a radiant Phallic God (you are a Phallic God too, at least in your essence, so long as you adore your penis & explore it's Magickal potentials) via my discovery of what I now call Mindful Masturbation. Until then, I felt I was not handsome enough, not muscular enough, thought my penis was too small, for anyone to appreciate me. Well, as we all know, it's a totally individual endlessly diverse matter, everyone's taste in men.

I'd always loved masturbating, but could never make it last long enough or get high enough with it to quite satisfy my soul. Not until I obtained the VHS of Joseph Kramer's FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN. Practicing solo (still insecure about my looks & lacking a playmate) I caught on to the secrets of this process & then spent 6 weeks, no less, in high erotic states each day without ejaculating once. WHEWWW!!! I've never been the same since. Somehow I simply dropped giving attention to my perceived flaws & focused on my best attributes, among them my penis. Hm.

Seems I also kind of curved the space of synchronicity around myself & the attracted my partner in Original Innocence, the one & only guy I've ever lived with on such a basis. It continues to only get better & better. Plus he's such a sane, relaxed, sensible & decent fellow that he totally supports my MIssion of fostering masturbatory excellence among Men of Earth. In the process, I'm becoming a kind of Mindful Masturbation Guru on a global scale. Whooduhthunkit???

Seriously/playfully I feel our beloved GAIA's major problems mostly stem from men failing to deeply love ourselves, including most men's inability to masturbate with great skill & artfulness . . . so I'm doing something about this! I'm on the faculty of Joseph Kramer's New School of Erotic touch . . . + I've founded a new org/organ/organism/organic/organization called Male Mystery School to create gatherings of Phallic Brothers to learn & practice together the ancient/timeless Male Mysteries.

How about the possibility of organizing such a gathering at SMS? I love the Sanctuary itself, it's Sacred Ground to me, the Mecca of Faeriedom. Me & my Brotherhood of Men would happily pay for our stay at SMS. Just a possibility as I'm now networking the first MMS events for later in 2009.

Anyone at SMS or associated who'd like to help me organize this, please contact me.

Peace,
Swami (AKA Bruce)
