When NelumboSkid was recently in El Tajin, near Papantla Mexico (see also Jenna and Dave’s travelblog), at a Totonac archeological site, they snapped a shot of this bas relief of (presumably) a priest doing a genital play piercing or bloodletting ceremony. So maybe if you’re into CBT you’re a reincarnated Totonac priest.

- Held by Hooks, and Each Otherby JonathonFacilitators and practitioners — the very people who bring so many suspensions to life — often pour their energy into others, quietly setting aside their own opportunities. Brenton and Brittany are one such example. Traveling all the way from Houston, TX, they came to the… Read more: Held by Hooks, and Each Other

- Suspended, Not Silencedby JonathonThere’s something undeniably powerful about watching someone working through the stages of suspension. We all build up ideas about ourselves—what we’re allowed to feel, how much we’re allowed to express, when it’s okay to break. For some, suspension is not about pushing physical limits its… Read more: Suspended, Not Silenced
- A Nightbird’s Passageby JonathonSome stories take their time, unfolding over decades, through life’s long detours and diversions. But dreams never rest until they’re fully realized. Even after 15 years, Robb knew there was still a suspension experience waiting for him. Something left unfinished, something essential. At the Ontario… Read more: A Nightbird’s Passage
- What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soulby JonathonFirst suspensions are rarely just about the body—they’re a meeting point between the physical and the deeply personal. Stepping into this experience isn’t simply about trying something new, but about stepping outside yourself to a version you had always sensed was waiting. I’ve had a… Read more: What Lifts the Body, Shifts the Soul
- Skin and Strings: The Art of Human Puppetryby JonathonOne of the most powerful things about being at a convention like OSC is the sheer concentration of experience, creativity, and capability in one place.

mayans had several rites of this kind. this is,what is called from an arquelogical and anthropological view, an autosacrifice. i’ve also seen on several books, not only this drawing, but also ones where wifes of some priests piecrced their tongues and passed a rope through it, to prise a deity i don’t remember the name. alse there is one i think dedicated to the god Huitzilopochtli that a priest is dripping blood from one of his ears, like this drawing. passing a spear through his lobe, i assume this also meant how some of their piercings where done. every day that passes, i find something more and more interesting of Mayan and Aztecs…how many things would have been different if the spanish conquerors had culturized their own culture with native american traditions…

Not just a drawing, but a full article!
Also, if you visit Shawn Porter‘s page on IAM, the latest Scar Wars shirt (by ModBlog regular Wayde Dunn) is based on a similar glyph.

As wildskin said the maya made many genital related blood offerings. I saw a speech by William Saturno who found the oldest maya muralknown(100 BC) which shows their creation story and rights of kingship. They both show a man using genital bloodletting for sacrifice to the gods.
Here’s a link to an article and a picture of a piece of it.

You know what I really fucking love about this site..
The fact that you Shannon take such a role in it. Not only by posting 90% of the pictures yourself but by commenting and accually staying involved so much in this site, not just pawning it off to some hired help to call the shots. And again, I think that’s why, even know with thousands of members across the globe, BME still feels like a family to me.
