The Hermetic Principles

Hermetic principle · Two generative principles

The principle that two creative forces — one projective, one receptive — are present in everything and generate wherever they meet.

Gender reads as the pairing of two creative forces within you: the one that reaches out and begins, and the one that receives and brings to form — both of which everyone carries. It reminds you that nothing is made by either alone; a real idea needs the spark and the ground it grows in.
