   Of course it may not have been a ritiual originally but now   
   may be celebrated in memory by some as a ritual.   
      
   Also I don't mean just pagan, tribal, shamanistic, and native   
   religious figures but also currently-considered (as opposed   
   to so considered in the past) major religious figures, not   
   just Krishna and Radha, and maybe even including Jesus   
   and Magdalene.    However knowledge of the sexuality   
   activity of such figures and its magickal/spiritual renewal   
   effects may be restricted to a very few at the inner circles   
   of old denomiinations of old religions who may be unwilling   
   to share such publicly on these newsgroups.   
      
   I'm hoping for a global renewal, anyway, but don't see   
   why such sex should be necessary to trigger it, but   
   if  there has evidence of such in the past that may   
   apply in this case too.
