    Dan,

    Thank's you for your interesting post.

    I don't see Evocation as being more masculine that the type of work
    Bardon is presenting
    Despite I found Bardon training quite balanced, it is clearly a
    magic path, active & structured - this is to my mind a "masculine"
    caracters if putting a gender to it.
    And I believe Magic path as the Golden Dawn or the Aurum Soli are
    more feminine, passive in a way. This is so because the Energy evoked
    and Power felt are far greater than what the beginner is able to
    produce by himself even when simply doing LBRP.
    - Whatever some may thing, this has nothing to do that "simply
    basnishing the negative from Inside Out", Yes, this is that with a
    resonance of Life Symbols, this is that but 30 times more and
    increasing each time. This is felt first, and then the resonance and
    the symbolist can be taught & understood.
    In some other magic tradition, i.e. Aurum Soli, even less focus is
    given to the intellectual understanding of rituals (solely based on
    the Quabalah Life Tree in the Golden Dawn in some others at least at
    the start).
    You are living and integrating the Energy, establisinhg the contact
    with the Energy & emmanation of the planet of the solar System, and
    probably above after.
    It is much more direct rather than to think a complex understanding
    through the Quabalah Life Tree which, indeed, belongs indeed to an
    other tradition.
    This contact with Energy is whant is changing your personality and
    building & restructuring YOU. It is a much more "feminine" path than
    Bardon.

    True Elemental equilibrum to me can also be achieved from the magic
    path though rituals. Rituals are bringing or activating Energies
    which are helping you to do that & restructure your Psyche. In this
    path, you can also make an Astral Chart of Defaults and virtues and
    related it not only to the Element but also to the Planets depending
    on the Sphere each manifests.

    Best Wishes,

    Pierre Mikael
