Workings #77946 Can I use ingwaz to remove feminine energy from me as a man?

[AskSatanOperator]

Due to actions I built up feminine energies in me as a male even though I wish to be masculine. Can I direct the Ingwaz rune to deprive myself of the feminine energies in me or is there a better rune for me to do that as a man. I need that energy removed so I don't want to see any "just work on your masculinity" replies. I first wish to reverse this before I build up the masculine energies which are also present.

Why do you need to remove energies? Working on masculinity does not mean depriving yourself of Shakti and Ida and other feminine manifestations in you, you will seriously harm yourself if you create such an imbalance. Do sports, eat right, make a strict hairstyle, try yourself in martial arts.

"Can deprive a man of his masculinity or anyone, male or female, of their life force."

It will deprive you from your masculinity, will not remove your feminine energy.

And I don't think "reversing" feminine energy is reasonable as we need both masculine and feminine energy. You said you don't want to hear it but sorry, the best thing to do is working on your masculinity.

Is it actually feminine energy, as in Yin? Or do you mean feminine personality traits? Think over what you did to build up the feminine energy or traits, and counter them. As Recycler said above, hairstyle. Too many men these day spend too much time fussing over their fancy hairstyles. Get a buzz cut or shave your head, that will drastically reduce feminine tendencies.

To answer your question, no, Ingwaz will not remove feminine energy. Putting more focus on masculine energy will decrease your sensation of having too much feminine energy. Lingam mudra will help.

Depending on the nature of the situation, and how integral these traits are to your personality, you may later find you have sacrificed a very important part of yourself which will create its own set of problems.

I think the best thing to do is look at the traits you admire in each gender and adopt them for yourself in ways that are harmonious with the rest. And figure out what combination you like, to create a conception of your ideal personality of who you want to be in the future. And slowly become that. But it is a balancing act.

Other masculine hairstyles: skin fades, and very short mullets. Hairstyle for a man is supposed to be low maintenance or zero maintenance.

To be honest, I'd rather have a man who is bald than a man who spends an hour a day fussing over his hair trying to look like an Asian cartoon character.

Hairstyle is just personal choice. it shouldn't be something that takes forever to put together as a man, but whatever you choose is fine within reason.

I have very long hair, and a beard. I just brush it and leave it as is, or I just put it in a ponytail or occasionally have it in a long French braid. That's about it really.

From what I understand, aren't some, smaller fraction of men more dominant in feminine energy in how this expresses?

I understand the case is different here for OP, as they seem to have tried to alter what they are originally, I was just curious of your thoughts here.

The truth is long-hair are high maintenance regardless. The longer the hair:

• The more shampoo necessary to wash them
• The longer it takes to dry them, especially if you don't live in a warm nor dry climate

Maintenance is one of the reason in the military, especially during training and combat/guarding missions, hair is kept to zero and near-zero. Being in the military, especially in a combat, is the manliest profession you can have. Pure Mars rulership (and his higher octave Pluto).

Short hair is the most natural leaning for a man, while long hair is the most natural for a woman.

Personal choice is there, sure, but you're not supposed to spend 15+ minutes just drying your hair, nor leave it wet which can cause health issues in damp, mild, and cool climates. We have better things to do, goals to achieve.

Moreover, it just looks tidier and neater to have short hair, and they looks best on man just like long hair look best on women. Tidiness and neatness, organisation in general, are qualities ruled by Saturn. They are the masculine qualities of the Earth element.

Now you have an opinion both from a man (me), and a highly-accomplished and very wise woman (High Priestess Lydia). You can take it as you will.

The practicality of having short hair is not an absolute value. There’s nothing wrong with spending these extra ten minutes taking care of drying your hair, if needed. Wearing long hair is also an animic expression. And for this reason, I believe that investing even a small part of one’s time in taking care of their physical self, an extension of their soul, should not be considered a 'waste of time'.

Also, having long hair doesn’t mean you need more shampoo — shampoo shouldn't even be applied to the lengths, as that would structurally damage them. Moreover, I know a man who wears his hair long — not only is he no less masculine because of it, but he takes such good care of it, far better than some women I know manage their own.

I'm not arguing here. I just expressed an opinion. There are other ways for men to embrace self-care. It doesn't need to include hair mid-way to your back which take an hour just to dry off.

One thing a man would naturally take more care of, is his body's strength and physical capability overall. Athleticism is ruled by Mars. Hair is ruled by Venus. Not a coincidence.

Real shampoo doesn't ruin hair. It only works to clean them. For some people water isn't enough. If shampoo is ruining your hair, it's commercial crap. I wrote a post a couple of years ago about hygiene products, exposing several chemical compounds included in most commercial products. Avoiding those harmful compounds can be done easily in the age of Internet and e-commerce. Some other people in the past have shared tips about making your own hygiene products. One of them was Johnson Akemi, who was pretty popular as a user back then. Not sure what she's up to now.
