A Sacred Union
The dance of duality is woven into our existence, expressed through the divinity of feminine and masculine energies. This union, governed by the Hermetic Principle of Gender, reveals that all things contain both principles. True balance is not opposition, but integration - where receptive intuition through the feminine and assertive will through the masculine merge to form creation itself.
Etymologies and the living words
Derived from Noah Webster’s 1869 dictionary, roots reveal truth encoded in language:
Feminine (Latin femina, “woman”) relates to nurturing forces
Masculine (Latin masculus, “male”) denotes strength and structure
Union (Latin unio, “oneness”) signifies fusion of parts into a complete whole
When traced, words unveil their intended purpose. The essence of these terms reflects their roles in the cosmic dance, the feminine as the source of life and receptivity, and the masculine as the force of direction and action.
Decoding through numbers
Each word carries a vibrational essence, encoded through numerology and revealed in etymology. By calculating the numerical sum of letters using the Phythagorean system (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 etc…), we can decode deeper meanings
Masculine (4+1+1+3+3+3+9+5+5 = 34 → 3+4 = 7)
Feminine (6+5+4+9+5+9+5+5 = 48 → 4+8 → 12 → 1+2 = 3)
Union (3+5+9+6+5 = 73 → 7+3 → 10 → 1+0 = 1)
Here, Masculine (7) resonates with spiritual wisdom and knowledge, Feminine (3) aligns with the creative Trinity and Union (1) marks the singular essence birthed from both. This mirrors the cosmic process where opposites synthesise into wholeness.
The sacred pattern
Numerology and etymology both reveal the divine structure of reality. Words, like numbers, are vibrations shaping perception. Knowing this unites logic and intuition - bridging the masculine realm of analysis with the feminine domain of symbolic meaning.
Thus, the Hermetic Principle of Gender is not about physical sex, but the dual forces within all things. Mastery of this principle allows for true manifestation, as the feminine seen as the receptive mind nurtures the masculine known as the active will, birthing new realities.
To live in balance is to embody both, to be the artist and the builder, the nurturer and the warrior, the dreamer and the doer. It is within harmony that one finds true power.
