    Dear RM,

    >> Certainly on this list I don't read much about summoning power,
    casting spells, and making things happen out in the world - in other
    words, I don't hear much about the Masculine aspects of Hermetics. <<

    Most of the active participants who ask questions on this list are still
    working on Steps One and Two which contain work that is indeed focused
    upon setting one's own house in order. It's not till Step Three that
    the student begins the work of directly manipulating energy (i.e., the
    parts you describe as masculine).

    >> Is the focus of our discussions out of balance or (perhaps) is the
    focus deliberately skewed towards the Feminine to compensate for a
    culture that favors the Masculine? <<

    No, I don't think there's anything deliberate about it but it is
    interesting and somewhat sad to note that things like meditation,
    introspection and navigating the levels of self-awareness confuse folks
    much more often than does power mongering.

    >> Although Bardon describes the actual doing of magick it doesn't seem
    to get as much emphasis as the more receptive exercises. <<

    ;-) One thing that differentiates IIH from most of systems of "magick"
    is the recognition that "the actual doing" of magic involves meditation,
    introspection and the navigation of the levels of self-awareness. It is
    what makes "summoning power, casting spells, and making things happen
    out in the world" *magic* instead of just another ego trip.

    My best to you,
    :) Rawn Clark
