That is how Nandan can produce children IMO ; and NOT by using
women's magic per se. He returns to the primal, elemental fount of
sexuality itself, with the help of his lover (who provides the necessary
Other in this magical equation : an Other also enters into the Heart
of Nandan, via a different path), and transcends his own sexual
identity ; although the Nandani is *still* a man (except perhaps in social
convention). He has access to some of the deepest mysteries of female
magic, but not the shallower ones : because males have the _same_
deepest mysteries, albeit in the other half of the Ulerian dichotomy >>
Spot on! I like it. Nandan is another of those crazy Green Age revivalists!
