Always Wondering
When I first started reading Crowley this became very apparent to me. My cards began to scream sex and my thoughts became very Freudian. I started to feel a bit disenchanted with the whole thing.Lon Milo DuQuette said:All magick is sexual.
Lon Milo DuQuette said:Indeed, all life is sexual.
Then there was a discussion on The Devil Trump which helped me to understand yes indeed. Underneath all the clothes of refinement we wear lies our origin, which began with a spark of lust and manifested by a sexual act. It became rather silly to me that I would ignore or disdain this. Or feel pious and farthest away from this in a religious ceremony that enacted our creation. Church would have indeed been very more interesting to me if I had realized this in adolescence.
It was my understanding of The Devil that day, something about that Tree Of Life thrusting up into the heavens that not only helped me appreciate the primal joy of life, but freed me to see how we are propelled by this instinct, to higher levels.
My deck became very well balanced again. Funny how that works.
