From:

I was taught, very early in my Wiccan training, that one can use BDSM techniques to raise power for a magical working, or one can simply resort to blood sacrifice and use the departing life energy to power the spell. But I was also taught that for smaller workings, you could raise enough power by ecstatic dancing, sex magick (which can be performed alone, never mind orgies), choral singing, and even drugs. (Think of the legends about how the Witches of the British Isles kept the Spanish Armada away from the beaches of England, and magically prevented Hitler from invading, and how some of the older Witches deliberately gave up their lives in arduous working (often performed outdoors, skyclad, in typical English weather) in order to make the magic as powerful as possible. It worked, in both cases.
