 A number of spiritual sexual rites and practices were either allegedly rediscovered or created during this period.Crowley wrote in his work "De Arte Magica" that eroto-comatose lucidity is also called the "sleep of Siloam" and both Allen Greenfield and Newcomb note that this rite preceded Crowley.They point out that Paschal Beverly Randolph ("arguably the single most important figure in the rise of modern sexual magic") called this ritualistic state the "sleep of Sialam."
