Thanks a lot for the space here, much appreciate this public good you so adeptly provision!
After quite some time reading, I have embarked into the first steps of practice (of the LRM). To put things into context, I have been extremely interested in occult philosophy, since quite some years now, but its certainly taken a while until I embarked on a practice (I needed a book readings a some synchronicities to get that going).
I wanted to share something that happened today, as it was a very intense response to my first proper Qabalistic Cross and the Lesser Ritual of the Pentagram. I finished the last part of the Qabbbalistic Cross Ritual, and then proceeded to help my partner with his first attempt too. I was sitting down and felt quite an energy rush, closest I can describe is like an an "ecastatic" feeling, pleasent, intense, near my solar plexus... and then a warming and an erection as a response. It is not my intention to overshare, but I wonder if this is a natural response?
I had read heard that the base of our magical powers (as humans) lie in yesod, which has a correspondence with the genial area. Is this somewhat related?
To add more info on the data point. I have been on the lower side of libido for some time now, which I had attributed to the stress of lock down, a removal of my gallbladder year ago, and mourning from the loss of a parent two years ago. 35 male here. I wonder how much of that was some energetic blockage reaction?
In any event, it was certainly a positive experience, just somewhat unexpected!
