Paul here, I don't relate much to the old, heavy book esoterica either. I've
decided not to participate for a number of reasons.
This morning, my spouse who recently dropped out of such a group
("lodge"..."order") explained it to me this way: In the old schools, the female
archetype is static, inactive. It's just used as a means to get from one place
to another and ultimately empower the "will," which more often than not, was a
patriarchal agenda.
In our community the Goddess is active (to say the least) and for me, that
spells freedom, life, creativity, spontaneity... the good stuff.

Paul again, I think Mia spoke very clearly in her response to the above and I
share her feelings. On a ritual level, it has nothing to do with insecurity and
something we haven't gotten in touch with. The male warrior and love aspects
have been lived and celebrated by a lot of folks on this list. But in old school
esoteria, like Thelema, Goetia and some Cabalistic practice, a creepy vibe seeps
out. It's like uncontrolled male fire (not K). Rage... I dare say, "demonic
possession." In this area, little Hitlers and Mansons can pop out.
I feel creepy just thinking about it.
El, I need your hungry dinosaurs to come and bite their little heads off.
Thank you. I feel better now.
It's Sunday, the weather's great and I'll go out and get into some serious
bicycle riding and clould watching ... look out for that fence! ... BONK.
ouch.
See you all again soon.
Paul
