    I have been doing the Thelemic Qabalistic cross for a while now.
    I am trying to understand the paths that we trace through each gesture as a jumping point
    into the Qabalah.

    1. Ateh, Aiwass : Here we trace a line from Kether, down to Tiphareth. This is done via the path of gimmel. Makes sense so far.

    2. Aiwass - Malkuth : Here we point to the genital area, which is more so attributed to Yesod than to Malkuth.
      My first question here is, when this gesture is preformed, are we traversing the path of Samekh or of Tau?

    Why exactly do we point to Yesod and call it Malkuth? The only connection I can see is the Muladhara chakra lies there. Is it safe to equate Muladhara with Malkuth henceforth equating Yesod with Malkuth?

    Thank you!

    "":2ffech98]2) Aiwass - Malkuth : Here we point to the genital area, which is more so attributed to Yesod than to Malkuth. My first question here is, when this gesture is preformed, are we traversing the path of Samekh or of Tau?"

    The hand only goes to Yesod - that's the natural length of the arm. But the visualization goes all the way to Malkuth. (The hand gesture is more one of signalling the direction, not the path.) So this includes Samekh and Tav.

    "Why exactly do we point to Yesod and call it Malkuth?"

    That's as far as your arm reaches - that's all. (It doesn't maintain the cross etc. if you bend down and touch your toes.) It's your visualization that matters more than where your hand goes.
