Another side of nympho was the secret sacred potions they used to create
an altered state of consciousness, and that, not scripture, provided the
spiritual insights and the closer look you refer to.

However, unlike recreational drugs, this was done at the sacred time, in
the sacred space, and dispensed in the sacred way. Not that different
from what witches and shamen still do in other cultures still today.

The hymns to Kali by 18th century Bengalese Saint Ramprasad show how
potions and sex were combined in Tantra. He says it produces union with
the Goddess, the Shakti being the surrogate. The Christians say the
bread and wine are transformed into the body and blood of Jesus, but I
dont think many men doubted they had sex with the Goddess.

As you can imagine, its a power trip for the women who can perform.
