Cover art for Nocturn lyrics by Kate Bush

We go driving Rising and rising A veil of diamond dust The sky’s above our heads The sea’s around our legs In milky, silky water We swim further and further The stars are caught in our hair The stars are on our fingers We dive down we dive deeper and deeper Bright, white coming alive jumping off of the aerial...

Obelisks are ancient aerials. The obelisk's phallic form was representative of sexual reproduction, which the ancient Egyptians realized was also a source of life. Obelisks soared up towards the sky with their shafts decorated in hieroglyphs, and were crowned by a reflective, shining, gold-plated, pyramidal point, the pyramidon. The obelisk was a symbol of contact between the earth and the heavens, between man and the gods. The obelisk symbolized the sun god Ra, and during the brief religious reformation of Akhenaten was said to be a petrified ray of the Aten, the sundisk. The pyramid and Obelisk were connected with sunrise and sunset, with zodiacal light and Sun pillars, respectively. The ancient Egyptians believed that the obelisk was a mediator of the power of life that reached to the dead, channeling the sun's rays to the deceased, and assisting them in their resurrection.

Maybe Nocturn celebrates Sex Magick...

Sex magick is the use of the sex act—or the energies, passions or arousal states it evokes—as a point upon which to focus the will or magical desire for effects in the non-sexual world.

The fundamental premise of sex magic is that the sexual energy (libido) of the human organism is the most potent force it contains. Harnessing the unique states that arise through sexual activity provides a special conduit for the transcendence of nominal reality. Aleister Crowley was one of the first people in modern times to publicly advocate the practice of sexual magick.

An example of sex magick is the Great Rite of Wicca, a ritual that involves either symbolic or actual sexual intercourse. This union between the High Priestess and the High Priest represents the union between the Maiden Goddess and the Lover God. (wiki)
