I was teaching a continuing education class that met on Wednesday evenings at the local community college. The course was Comparative World Religions. Since it was an undergraduate class, I treated it as a broad overview of the various faith traditions rather than an in-depth look at specific beliefs.
After the first class where I laid out the semester, I was approached by one of my students, Amy. She was a thin, short blonde. Very pretty.
"Professor, why aren't we going to discuss Wiccan beliefs?"
"I suppose there are two reasons. First, it isn't covered in the textbook and second, because I know very little about it."
"Fair enough. Would you be open to learning more about it?"
"I am always open to learning."
"Okay. Cool. I'll be in touch."

Although she was in class each week, I didn't hear anything from Amy about her offer until early October.
Once again, she approached me after class, "Professor, are you still up for learning about our Wiccan sect?"
"Most certainly. I thought you might have forgotten about me."
"Oh, no. I had to speak with my high priestess. She had one question for you: How well-endowed are you?"
I was taken aback, "As in the penis department?"
"Yes. I know. It is an awkward question."
"Well, I suppose I am pretty average."
"That's great. My priestess said I could invite you to participate in our Halloween fertility rites just so long as you weren't exceptionally small."
"Fertility rites?"
"It is where we celebrate the sacred feminine."
I remembered that the 'sacred feminine' was a movement that said that the feminine, through the power of reproduction was more sacred than the masculine. "And I assume I would be participating?"
"If you would like? I have to tell you that our ceremony does involve some sex. Actually, a lot of sex."
"A lot of sex?"
"Actually, almost the entire rite is grounded in sex. Thus, the reason for my question. Because of that, we do not allow outside observers. Therefore, you are either part of the ritual or you can't be there."
As a widower, I hadn't had much sex over the past ten years. This could be interesting. "Okay. I'll take part."
Amy clapped her hands, "Oh, that's wonderful Professor. I'll give you some written instructions on how to prepare for the ceremony next week."
"I'll be looking forward to it."
Amy gave me a quick hug and was gone.

Over the next week, I started having doubts on the wisdom of participating in the fertility rites. There was certainly a chance I would have sexual contact with my student. Given the power differential, that was verboten. Nevertheless, I could also say that I was doing research. Also, if it was part of a ritual, I wouldn't have much power, so the power differential problem would go away. I decided that I would need to discuss this with Amy. Faculty-student sex was to be avoided at all costs.

The following Wednesday, Amy met with me after class again. This time she had what appeared to be a paper of at least twenty pages.
"Professor, I brought you some information and instructions for the ceremony."
"Before we go there, I need to ask - will you and I be having sex?"
"I have no idea Professor. The ceremony is controlled by my high priestess. There will be twelve women there and seven of us will be randomly selected to couple with you. Perhaps it would be helpful if you don't think of it as sex, but rather as a celebration of the divine feminine, as a form of worship. The feminine is all about receiving and openness. As the masculine, you will be giving. The coupling of the feminine with the masculine brings heightened awareness, increased spirituality, and unity of body and mind. It brings us close to the spirit of the cosmos. Lao Tzu called it Tao."
She sounded like a cross between an encyclopedia and a textbook. I'm a professor and I don't talk like that. "Okay. I am very familiar with Tao. I suppose that is a good way to look at it."
"You also need to know that our coven reveres the number seven. Our name is The Seventh Coven. For us, the number seven represents depth and wisdom. It is where the conscious and subconscious meet. By focusing on the number seven we enhance the quality of our fertility rite. For example, we will start promptly at 7 p.m. And as I said, you will couple seven times during the ceremony. This paper explains many of our beliefs. The last page contains very specific instructions that you must do to prepare for the ceremony."
She flipped to the last page and started reading: "A critical measure for success of the fertility rite is for the high priest to have his lingam prepared for many yonis." She stopped reading, "You will be fulfilling that role." She continued, "Beginning on October 28
th
you will visited by a coven member to fellate you to orgasm twice a day. The first beginning at 7 a.m. and the second at 7 p.m. We request that a coven member provide this service to ensure proper preparation and care of your lingam."
I held up my hand, "So one of your coven members will come to my home to orally bring me to orgasm twice a day?"
Amy nodded, "That is correct. Is that an issue, Professor?"
I was tempted to say something sarcastic, but I just shook my head.
Amy continued reading, "You will need to arrive at the address provided on the title page no later than 5:45 p.m. on Halloween, October 31
st
. At that time one of our coven members will prepare you for the ceremony." Amy looked up at me, "Do you have any questions for me?"
"What if I change my mind?"
"If you do, please let us know by 7 p.m. on October 27
th
. That will give us enough time to find an alternate masculine person for our ceremony."
"How many masculine persons will be at the ceremony?"
"Only one - you."
"Then I will do my best to not let you down."
"Thank you, Professor."
Amy gave me a quick hug and left.
I began to look through the paper she left with me. Much of the theology dated back to pre-history. I was familiar with Merlin Stone's groundbreaking work
When God was a Woman
from the Seventies. This paper drew on much of that. Nevertheless, it also drew on Eastern religions. For example, I knew the terms 'yoni' (vagina) and 'lingam' (penis) came from Sanskrit. In the Far East the terms were 'yin' and 'yang' respectively.
Here is one passage from the paper:
The Sacred Feminine brings us the yin qualities of receiving, openness, restfulness, repose, and reflection. Combined with the yang (Sacred Masculine) qualities of giving, action, and accomplishment, a balance of give-and-take emerges and creates harmony within and without.
The paper talked about a creative life-force energy called
