GARDEN AND GROVE [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
Gardens of Bomarzo, The Sacro Bosco ("Sacred Grove"),[1] colloquially called Park of the Monsters
"The garden is a symbol of the terrestrial Paradise, of the Cosmos of which it is the center, of the celestial Paradise of which it is the figure, of the spiritual states, which correspond to the paradisiac stays.
We know that the terrestrial Paradise of Genesis was a garden, that Adam cultivated the garden; which corresponds to the predominance of the vegetable kingdom at the beginning of a cyclical era, while the celestial Jerusalem of the end will be a city." In the Freemason tapestries, the forest goes towards the city, leaving a path in the center. Or is in the center a lake and the people on the other, to represent the human, earthly side. Just as in Star Wars, which like the tapestries, I've already spoken about it, when the Jedi are in the senators' apartments, you can see through the window, on the roof of one of the buildings, a long path of trees, which points towards the light, but is visible on the left, leaving on the right, the empty buildings.
"What a pleasure, writes the Chinese poet Hi K'ang, to walk in the garden! I go around infinity...
The cloister of monasteries, the enclosed garden of Muslim houses, with a central fountain, are images of Paradise.
The garden pond is a mirror. In the Thousand and One Nights, there is a question of a basin in a pavilion of rest, which has four doors, which are accessed by five steps.
The Egyptians also had a taste for gardens, with flower beds and ponds. They drew them on the walls and floors of their palaces. Each flower had its own language: the mandrakes berries were symbols of love, the lotuses with open petals evoked the sun wheel, and their roots in the waters the birth of the world.
The wedding celebrations of Zeus and Hera took place in the marvelous and mythical Garden of the Hesperides, a symbol of ever-renewed fertility. But for the Greeks, the garden was above all a luxury, the charm of which they discovered in Asia, during the conquests of Alexander.
Particularly in the form of a regular quincunx, the garden thus revealed itself as a symbol of the power of man and, in particular, of his power over a domesticated nature.
But it was in Persia that the garden took on not only a cosmic meaning, as in Japan, but also a metaphysical and mystical one.
Some versions of Cosmology describing a four-sided universe place a mountain in its center. This idea is reproduced in several Persian gardens and in the Mughal gardens of India. Persian gardens are always surrounded by walls; privacy protected. No gardens without perfumes. A symbolism attaches to the perfume of the flowers. The perfume of jasmine is the perfume of kings; that of the rose, the perfume of the beloved. The smell of saman, a kind of white jasmine, is like the perfume of your own children. The narcissus has the scent of own children. Narcissus has the scent of youth; the blue lotus the smell of material power or wealth, etc.
A specialized artist creates miniature gardens. Claws had trees made of gold and silver, with leaves and fruit of precious stones.
0In Native American civilizations, the garden was also conceived as a summary of the universe. But among the Aztecs they bring together not only what is beautiful and exalting in the world: flowers, fountains, mountains, rivers and paths, but also the formidable beings and even the monstrosities of nature.
The garden often appears in dreams, as the happy expression of a desire free from all anxiety. It is the place of growth, of the cultivation of vital and inner phenomena.
The garden quite often designates for man the sexual part of the female body."
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GARDEN AND GROVE
Perhaps, if the garden represents the cycle, the grove represents one of the groups in action. I know that the p***phile act is surely confused with the rite (of there of sexual learning, used for example on Easter Island, which moreover surprised the researcher, who said, that it was incredibly round, and besides, the mountain is a volcano). And that this "navel of the world", with its sculptures which supervises all the parts of which the sky, except, the quarter and the water.
OWL [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
Because it does not face the light of day, the owl is a symbol of sadness, darkness, solitary and melancholy retirement. Greek mythology makes it the interpretation of Atropos, that of the Fates which cuts the thread of destiny. In Egypt, it expresses cold, night, death.
In Hindu iconography, the owl is sometimes attributed to the makara (mother) Varahi, without its meaning being precise.
The owl played an important role in ancient China: it was a terrible animal, which was supposed to devour its mother. It symbolized yang, and even excess yang. It manifested itself at the summer solstice, identified itself with the drum and the thunderbolt. He was the emblem of Houang-ti the young Sovereign and the first founder. Excess of yang: the owl caused dryness; the children born on the day of the owl (soltice) were violent in character (perhaps parricidal). The owl broth, distributed to the vassals on the same date, was it a rite of trial, of purification. Communication? Or all at once? Be that as it may, the owl was always considered a ferocious and harmful animal.
It is one of the oldest symbols of China, it dates back to so-called mythical times. According to some authors, it would be confused with the Dragon-Torch, emblem of the second dynasty, that of the Yin. It is the emblem of lightning, it appeared on the royal standards. It is the bird devoted to blacksmiths, made swords and magic mirrors.
Inutile de dire qu'il ne viendrait pas a l'idee d'un Chinois de clouer sur la porte de sa grange un hibou!
For the Prairie Indians, the owl has the power to give help and protection at night. Hence the use of owl feathers in certain ritual ceremonies.
In the initiation rites of the Mide Society (Mide WiWin), among the Algonquins, there is a figure perched in the ceremonial lodge, an owl-man who shows the way to the land of the Setting Sun, the kingdom of the dead. The owl would fulfill here a psychopomp function.
It can also be considered as a messenger of death and therefore evil: When the owl sings, the Indian dies (Maya-Guiche); the chori sorcerer, embodying evil forces, has the power to transform into an owl.
The owl is among the Elders of the World, full of wisdom and experience in the Welsh apocryphal tale of the same mom. It should therefore be placed among the primordial animals and it is probable that it can be assimilated to the owl. But these animals do not appear in Celtic religious symbolism. The owl is taken in bad part here under the influence of Christianity. A symbol of pre-Christian bably. Bloderwedd the faithless wife of Llew, in Math's Mabinogi, is turned into an owl as punishment for her adultery with a neighboring lord.
DIAMOND [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains
Its exceptional physical qualities, hardness, clarity, luminosity, make the diamond a major symbol of perfection, although its brilliance is not uniformly considered beneficial.
The traditional mineralogy of India does it, to be born from the earth be in the form of an embryo whose crystal would constitute an intermediate state of maturation. The diamond is ripe, the crystal is unripe. It is the peak of maturity. It is therefore a perfect completion that Indian alchemy itself uses symbolically by associating the diamond with immortality, that is to say by identifying it with the philosophical Stone.
The hardness of the diamond, its power to scratch, to cut, are especially emphasized in Tantric Buddhism where the vajra (diamond thunderbolt) is the symbol of the unalterable, of the invincible spiritual power. It is, according to the etymology of the Tibetan equivalent dorje, the queen of stones. It symbolizes clarity, radiance, the sharp edge of Illumination, the void and the indeterminate.
Immortality is an axial character par excellence: this is why the throne of the Buddha, located at the foot of the Bodhi tree, is a diamond throne. This is also why the Axis of the world is described by Plato as diamond.
According to Pliny, it is the universal talisman, which renders all fish and all diseases inoperative. It chases away evil spirits, drives away bad dreams. Immersed in wine and water, it preserves drinkers from apoplexy, gout, and jaundice.
According to Western European traditions, he also hunts wild beasts, ghosts, witches and all the terrors of the night. Russian tradition says it prevents lust and promotes chastity. It was also said in France that it warded off anger, and maintained the union between the spouses: which had given it the name of stone of reconciliation; it contains innocence, wisdom and faith. In iconological language, the diamond is the symbol of constancy, strength, and other heroic virtues.
Folk tales would add that diamonds beget diamonds: the origin of self-generating wisdom. The shape of the rough diamond is to be compared to the belief that considers the cube as another symbol of the truth of wisdom and moral perfection.
The diamond also symbolized, in Renaissance art, equanimity, courage in the face of adversity, the power of freedom of spirit from all fears, integrity of character, good faith.
1812 WAVE [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
It may be the symbol of the ram, for the heads and the book:
"In the majority of ancient civilizations having rubbed shoulders with the ram, this animal took on great symbolic force. Although the symbols associated with it vary from one mythology to another, there are, despite everything, certain similarities such as the embodiment of the force of nature. Aries is the symbol of spring and rebirth. It inspires vigor and is designated as the symbol of provocation in combat".
I guess for moses they represent the sea he cut in two. It has two glued shapes, otherwise it would look like a snake. Whatever I wonder, if they don't represent the Ouroboros, since it has just two, one next to the other. As below, tissue, (which is related to the Goddess, which the rest of the tissue approximates, the shape of the shell). The rest of the drawings, above and below the waves, are divided into two.
WINGS ON THE BACK[USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
As the sun is represented by an eagle. In the case of Venus, she is also represented with wings. Like angels, who also have wings. In the case of the Goddess, she also has wings, which also represents protection, which like her veil encompasses.
CROWN OF THORNS [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains Crown:
The Mandaean liturgies attest to an effective crowning rite of the new baptism.
To explain the texts of the Odes of Solomon, we can still appeal to a last aspect of the theme of the crown. It is known that the gift of the nuptial crown is an essential dream of oriental weddings.
As the Odes are not reluctant to speak of spiritual nuptials between the soul and Christ, it is permissible to wonder if the symbol of the crown cannot be said to be understood in this sense.
[USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains Thorn
The thorn evokes the idea of obstacle, difficulty, external defense, and consequently, a surly and unpleasant approach. Lepine is the natural defense of the plant, which cannot fail to recall the role of the horn in animals. Note that in topology, the name thorn is often given to standing stones, which include an axial and solar symbol. Guenon noted on this subject that the crown of thorns of Christ (thorns of acacia, it is said) may be related to the crown with rays, the thorns being identified, by a reversal of the symbol, with the luminous rays that emanate from the body of the Redeemer. It is true that Christ crowned with thorns is sometimes represented in a radiant aspect.
The crown of thorns of Christ during his passion, according to another interpretation, celebrates the marriage of heaven and earth celebrates the marriage of heaven and the virgin earth - Son of Man - and the Earth, virgin who can always to be fertilized.
LAUREL [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
The laurel is linked, like all plants that remain green in winter, to the symbolism of immortality; symbolism which was doubtless not lost sight of by the Romans when they made it the emblem of glory, both of arms and of the mind. The laurel was also used, in the past, to protect against lightning: a correlative quality of the first.
This symbolism of immortality is also known in China: the moon, it is said, contains a laurel and immortality. It is at the foot of a laurel (a medical plant) that the hare of the moon grinds herbs, from which he extracts the drug of immortality.
Shrub devoted to Apollo, it symbolizes the immortality acquired by victory. This is w***[/swear][/swear][/swear]ts foliage is used to crown heroes, geniuses and sages. Apollonian tree, it also signifies the spiritual conditions of victory, wisdom united with heroism.
In Greece, before prophesying, the Pythia and the soothsayers chewed or burned laurel which, consecrated to Apollo, possessed divinatory powers. Those who had obtained a favorable response from the Pythia returned home with a laurel wreath on their heads. The laurel symbolized the Apollonian virtues, participation in these virtues through contact with the consecrated plant and, consequently, a special relationship with the god, who ensured its protection, communicated part of these powers. Like milk, it manifests the symbolic association: immortality, sacred knowledge.
In North Africa, among the Beni Snus, mask wearers arm themselves with a stick of oleander during seasonal ceremonies. The choice of this shrub is not indifferent. He is fond of damp places and the peasants attribute many purifying virtues... Once consecrated by contact with the tangible blood of the contract between men and the invisible and, as a result, have become protective talismans warding off all forces harmful.
BATH [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
The purifying and regenerating virtue of the bath is well known, and attested, to the profane as well as to the sacred, by related uses among all peoples, in all places and all times. We can say that the bath is universally the first of the rites sanctioning the major stages of life, in particular birth, puberty, death. The symbolism of the bath combines the meanings of the act of immersion and the water element.
Immersion is, for the analyst, an image of uterine regression. It satisfies a need for relaxation, security, tenderness, healing, the return to the original matrix being a return to the source of life. Immersion, voluntarily granted, and which is a kind of burial, is the acceptance of a moment of forgetfulness, of renouncing one's own responsibility, of "setting aside", of emptiness. Hence its countless therapeutic uses. This immersion takes place in the time lived as a hiatus, a solution of continuity, which necessarily gives it an initiatory value. The best example is perhaps this closed rite of entry of the magicians of Central Africa (Gameroun-Gabon) according to which the impretante, drugged, is buried twenty-four hours in a sealed cavity arranged under the bed of a stream, in the heart of the equatorial forest: the forest-belly symbols of mother-water, and of time flowing like the river, associated with that of the uterine cache, here form a symbolic complex of such power that the initiates of this brotherhoods practically forget the course of the previous life. Initiatory regeneration here fully takes on its meaning of death and rebirth; moreover such customs, still observable, throw a complementary light on such or such myth or custom of classical antiquity, or other moments of our history. Thus, among the Greeks, statues of gods and goddesses were ritually immersed (Athena, Hera, etc.); a bath preceded the initiation of the Nazarenes, as, in the Middle Ages, the coronation of the knights.
Purifying, regenerating, water is also fertilizing; hence the ritual bathing of brides, and the immersions of sterile women in a particular lake or basin of a sacred spring, a practice attested from the Mediterranean to the Far East over more than three thousand years of history.
Christianity takes over the use of the lustral bath. Jean Batiste in the Jordan. With Christian baptism, matter and spirit merge into the same symbol; when John the Evangelist declares: He who has taken a bath does not need to wash himself, he is entirely pure (JOHN, 13, 10), the same Greek word has the meaning of clean and pure. This purity, in its Christian acceptance, is not negative: it prepares a new and fruitful life.
The state obtained is purely life, unmixed with the principle of death which is sins: positive purity is not the absence of stain, but life in its pure state.
Despite so much tradition agreeing to positively value the bath, a hundred Christian prudishness has overturned the symbol, condemning the use of the bath as contrary to chastity. Here we must distinguish between hot baths and cold baths. The former are considered as a search for sensuality which should be avoided. This is precisely the opinion advanced by Saint Jerome (Epist. 45, 3) who sees in the hot bath an attack on chastity. The Christians of the first centuries willingly went to shared baths. The councils and the Fathers of the Church revolted with violence against a use which they considered immoral. In the Middle Ages, stoves had the reputation of being places of debauchery; they were therefore forbidden to Christians.
Some Western and Eastern monks - these being even more severe - not only exclude bathing the body in its entirety, but even refuse the use of cold water was recommended mortification, and this all the more that the water was freezing cold. This is how biographers of holy lives, belonging to the first Christian centuries and the Middle Ages, copying each other, will speak of immersions in ice water in order to tame the flesh.
Note also that, in a certain alchemical acceptance of the term, the bath can be understood as a purification by fire, not by water, as there is a bateme of fire, that of the martyrs. Finally, the bath, in a text like the treatise on the Golden Flower, is associated with fasting of the heart (sin tchai); its washing is the elimination of all mental activity, the decisive acquisition of emptiness, which closes the loop of the symbol and brings us back to its departure.
DOG[USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
It is undoubtedly by a mythology which did not associate the dogs, Annubis. T'ienk'uan, Cerberus, Xolotl, Garm, etc. to death, to hell, to the underworld, to the invisible empires ruled by the chthonian or selenic divinities. The very complex symbol of the dog is therefore, at first sight, linked to the trilogy of the elements earth - water - moon whose occult meaning is known, female, at the same time vegetative, sexual, divinatory, fundamental, just as well for the concept of the unconscious than for that of the subconscious.
Whatever the cults and religions, mythologies have associated dogs with the world of the dead. He is in the first mythical, universal attested function... is that of psychopomp, guide of man in the night of death, after having been his companion in the day of life. The cynocephali, so numerous in Egyptian iconography, have the mission of imprisoning or destroying the enemies of light, and guarding the Gates in sacred places.
Among the Germans, a terrible dog, named Garm, guards the entrance to Nifliem, kingdom of the dead, land of ice and darkness.
The ancient Mexicans exclusively bred dogs specially intended to accompany and guide the dead in the afterlife. The corpse was buried with a lion-colored dog - that is to say the sun - which accompanied the deceased as Xolotl, the dog-god, had accompanied the Sun during its journey underground. Or else the dog was sacrificed on the grave of its master to help him, at the end of his long journey, across the nine rivers which defended access to the eternal abode of the dead, Chocomenictian, the ninth heaven.
Even today in Guatenaia, the Lacandon Indians place four dog figurines, made of palm leaves, in the four corners of their graves.
The tradition and last constellation of the ancient Mexican Zodiac is the constellation of the Dog; it introduces to the ideas of death, of end, of the underground world, but also of initiation, of renewal.
Ect.
Among the Batous of Kasai (Congolese basin), has a method of divination by hypnotism been observed in which the client of the diviner, connected to him by a thread, is lowered into a pit, where he will enter into communication with the spirits, thanks to the presence at his side, while he falls into hypnosis, of a dog and a hen. In the same region, the appearance of a dog in the dream warns that a witchcraft operation is underway somewhere.
The same gift of clairvoyance, the dog's familiarity with death and the invisible forces of the night can, at the limit, make this animal suspect of witchcraft.
Some aspects of the symbolism of the dog comes from: civilizing hero, mythical ancestor, symbol of power, sexual and therefore durability, from nature and therefore from its renewal, fruit of a forbidden connection, make the dog appear as the daytime face of 'a symbol. It should also be observed to observe the night side. The most profane illustration of this is the implacable ban from which this animal suffers in Muslim societies.
Islam makes the dog the image of creation's most thread. According to Shabestari, to cling to the world is to identify with the corpse eater; the dog is the symbol of greed, gluttony; the coexistence of the dog and the angel is impossible. According to the traditions of Islam, however, the dog has fifty-two characteristics, half of which are holy, and the other half are satanic. Thus, he watches, is patient, does not bite his master. Moreover, he abolishes the scribes, etc. His faithfulness is praised: If a man has no brothers, the dogs are his brothers. A dog's heart resembles its master's heart.
Dogs are also considered unclean. Jews often appear in the form of black dogs. The barking of dogs near a house is an omen of death. The flesh is used as a remedy (against sterility, against bad luck, etc.). In Tangier, the flesh of a puppy or a kitten is eaten as an antidote against witchcraft. Unlike other dogs, the greyhound is not considered impure, but gifted with baraka. It protects against the evil eye. Syrian Muslims believe that angels will not enter a house that has a dog. Etc.
However, the Muslims establish a distinction between the vulgar dog and the greyhound, whose nobility of bearing makes them a pure animal.A very similar meaning is revealed in Tibet, where the dog is the sign of sensual appetite, of sexuality, at the same time as jealousy. He who lives like a dog, teaches the Buddha, at the dissolution of the body, after death he will go with the dogs.
In Japan, the dog generally enjoys favorable consideration: a faithful companion, its effigy protects children and facilitates the work of women and children and facilitates the work of women in childbirth. Etc.
KEY [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains: Even Triple Keys
The key has a dual role of opening and closing. It is both a role of initiation and discrimination, which is clearly indicated by the attribution of the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven to Saint Peter. The opening and closing power conferred on Saint Peter. With the power to coagulate and dissolve according to alchemical terminology. The power which is represented in the papal coat of arms by two keys, one of gold, the other of silver, which were previously the emblems of the Roman god Janus. This double aspect of power, diurnal and nocturnal, corresponds to spiritual authority and royal functions, the respective aim of which is, according to Dante, the accession to the Great Mysteries and to the Lesser Solstitial Mysteries, that is to say access to the ascending and descending phases of the annual cycle, yang, which find their balance at the equinoxes. Janus was also considered the guide of souls; hence its double face, one turned towards the earth and the other towards the sky. A staff in the right hand, a key in the left hand, he guards all the gates and governs all the roads.
The symbolism of the key opening the initiatory way is also expressed in the Koran where it is said that the Shahadah (There is no god except God) is the key to Paradise. The esoteric interpretations of each of the four words of the Shahabah include one of the four teeth of the key which, on the condition of a whole, opens all the doors of the Word of God, and therefore those of Paradise.
More commonly, the key is, in Japan, a symbol of prosperity, because it opens the rice granary. But whoever sees only the rice granary could contain spiritual nourishment.
Opening and closing the door, it becomes a symbol of the power of command for the Bambara because everything that is said, everything that is done, in man, in the kingdom, in the world, is a door. The Chief, the sun, God are all three keys: God, keys of creation and of the world: the Sun, key of the day which it opens at sunrise and closes at sunset. The stool (throne), the foot of the man are keys. The key symbolizes the leader, the master, the initiation, the one who holds the power of decision and responsibility.
On the esoteric level, to possess the key means to have been initiated. It indicates not only entry into a place, city or house, but access to a state, to a spiritual abode, to an initiatory degree.
In tales and legends, very often it is the three keys which are mentioned: they introduce successively into three enclosures or three secret chambers which are as many approaches to the mysteries. In silver, gold or diamond, they mark the stages of purification and initiation. The key here is the symbol of the mystery to be unraveled, of the enigma to be solved, of the difficult action to undertake, in short of the steps that lead to enlightenment and discovery.
STRAWBERRY [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains First of all an addition, for the selection, on a description of my blog:
Among the Ojibwa, in southwestern Ontario, when a man dies, his soul, which remains conscious, goes to the land of the dead, until it reaches a huge strawberry. Strawberries are Indian summer food and symbolize the good season. If the soul of the deceased tastes this fruit, it will forget the world of the living and any return to life and to the world of the living will be forever impossible for it. If she refuses to touch it, she retains the possibility of returning to earth.
One could compare this belief with that which is reported in the Homeric hymn to Demeter, relative to the pomegranate seed of Persephone who, for having tasted it, was condemned to hell. The dead should no longer taste the fruits of the living. Earthly foods are forbidden to the inhabitants of the underworld.
Hell is in some religions, cults = in Heaven.
Pomegranate and strawberry seeds represent fertility. And like in the fairy tale, like Snow White eats the fruit, and meets her prince in her dream, in death. Obviously, it works with the sexual act.
Favoritism, male privilege is for me more social than symbolic. Anyway, from what I've found so far. So, I hope to answer the same question. The first reason is when we were like monkeys. The women took care of everything, and the men fought over the monopoly of reproduction. The men were already hunting. Then when we had to survive, Men became protective of the camp, creating the Alpha (see either the King). This protective idea remained, until it evolved into representations of warriors. The symbol of which is the phallus (which is also the symbol of fertility) and which evolved over time. For 2000 years, it was worse with the Bible, where people took the texts at face value. The Church has erased a lot of culture. Which means that Eve has become the symbol of woman. She represented the temptress, having been easily sexually corrupted. She also represents, in people's minds, like easy, stupid girls... an idea that was increased, with many film series, and even before, with books, tales and legends, which symbolically represents the Goddess. And making believe, that a man must be necessarily strong, whereas mentally, it is the woman who has it. Also looking in my dictionary of symbols, I found only this description, of which here is an extract:
"KING'S DAUGHTER [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
The theme of the King's Daughter is found frequently in almost all traditions. The King's Daughter is granted to the hero as a reward for his audacity and courage. The difficult enterprise consists of dangers that the hero knew how to overcome at the risk of his life."
Ironically enough, the man is first of all a woman, depending on the situation, people give birth mainly to women than to men.
There are also old photos of baby boys, who wear dresses. The reason is that the diapers of the time were difficult to install.
Moreover, among the Illuminati, they say that they must fall before rising. That I associated, that the body must die, for the soul to rise. Note that in some cults, Hell = Paradise, as I said before, and the God of drought is the God of Hell. And I take this opportunity to say that this God is linked to the sun (the first God, in my cycle). And associate with the Lion, because he wears hair and a beard (without mustache). While the other is related to Aries, and wears a mustache, and in other cases a goatee. He also wears, from time to time, pointy ears and in other cases, hooked nose or eagle nose. Who in the case, of a representation of the witch, with a long chin perfectly represents the crescent moon and in some recent representations of the goblins.
MEN AND BOYS AS FAVOR [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains:
I'll just put the symbols that stand out, however it will be a bit repetitive, because I haven't finished this research yet, so I still can't find out, for they favor men. ..: So here are the symbols, which are the sun (light and life), the phallus (the warrior, strength and reproduction), in both cases it represents renewal of life (the boy, in the symbolism becomes a symbol of eternity, (in addition to the symbol of light, although they associate women with magic) in any case it is confirmed in this French link, which represents the symbol of the child, which represents the birth (the beginning of the Universe and therefore the beginning of materials (and surely pure materials)): https://www.erudit.org/fr/revues/etudfr … 6806ar.pdf):
And so first of all, the boy is related to God, and therefore to light, to life. I think it is mainly. The other and certainly main, is as I said, over the years, people have associated with the physical, the mental. And as people say, the misconception, that the man should be out, while the woman should stay home. And the fear of Man, of losing his place. dominant, but also lazy. And as far too many women have let it happen... out of love or ideology, mentally inscribed, and without having the slightest thought. Or again, a question of fear or religion. And the idea that the woman does nothing, remaining seated whereas it is the opposite. Which makes the house become a prison. Although light would have been born from darkness, without it there would be no life. This symbol of life accompanies that of heat and light. What is associated with the sun, unlike the woman. Moreover, one of the two representations of the Solar God, the part of the dawn, he wears as I said previously, hair and a beard, he then associates himself with the lion.
The first God is the God of light and life, of heat and drought, who is in some religions, who is the God of hell (because who dries up the earth, but who can associate , to his role as God of Heaven).
The second God is like Zeus... Odin, but also the wrath of the Catholic God: (since; when Jesus is sacrificed, God, he has a storm, note that Jesus "weeps" with penne, which accompanies, This second God is the God of strength, because he holds back light from falling into darkness (in the Taros cards, strength is linked to the Goddess, who opens the mouth of the lion, the first God). He is also the God of anger: he is linked to the wind, to the rain, a rain which is also linked to the part of fertility, that which nourishes the earth, but which can also kill, by drowning it.
The second symbol is the phallus. The obelisk at the center of the four elements, in the Vatican for example: whose solar symbol is a point in a circle. I think comes from the fact, that to watch, their solar on the ground, is moreover to divide for the solar panel, that the sexual representation, but it is my opinion. The phallus is present on the tombs. It was replaced by a simple stone, as in Africa, of which however a lot of representation of phallus are rediscovered. Only one people continues the ritual, when I think about it, the older ones hide the stone, and the young people go looking for it to put it on the warrior's tomb. Which reminds me of the cycle of life. Where the passage, of the one who died, giving the relay to the young people. There is also a phallus festival in Japan. The phallus is associated with the warrior, with physical strength.
NUMBER OF OR: Man also uses the golden number, the number of creation, which is present in everything, such as under the fruit that represents him, the apple of bread. And of which many artists, for example, have used it to create paintings like music...
STUFFY [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] Explains
Open through which pass the breath, the word, the food, the mouth is the symbol of creative power and, especially of the insufflation of the soul. Organ of speech (verbum, logos), and breath (spiritus), it also symbolizes a high degree of consciousness, an organizing power through reason. But this positive aspect, like any symbol, has a reverse side, The force capable of building, animating, ordering, raising is also capable of destroying, killing, lowering: the mouth reverses as quickly as it builds its castles of words. It is mediation between the situation, where a being finds itself, and the lower world or the upper world, in which it can lead. She is represented in universal iconography both by the mouth of the monster and by the lips of the angel; it is both the gate of hell and that of paradise.
Observing that, in many traditions, the mouth and the fire are associated. Those who have entered the dictionary, adds, while asking the question, to be able to be used, the use of water, because fire and water carry physical energy. The symbolism of the mouth draws from the same sources as that of fire and also presents the double aspect of the Indian god of manifestation, Agni, creator and destroyer. The mouth also draws the two curves of the primordial egg, the one which corresponds to the upper world with the upper part of the palate, the one which corresponds to the lower world with the lower jaw. It is thus the point of departure or convergence of two directions, it symbolizes the origin of oppositions, opposites and ambiguities.
UNDERGROUND [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains
It is both an energy center. The stone is considered and used to store energy. It is also, as I marked with the tent, the representation of the ovum, of the beginning of the world; and of the representation of the earth for the earth and of the sky for the vault. It also has rituals that are performed, from which the chained initiate had to escape. It can also be associated with birth, where the child normally comes out of its mother. It is for many initiates, the beginning of learning, by its darkness, and the fact that they seek the light (illumination). It can also represent thought, and is for Plato represented by Dionysus, who locks himself in, then frees himself. But as it is the representation of the world, it is linked among the Greeks to the harmonious world, which can be represented by the symbol of Yin and Yang, which follow each other. Who is with the representation of the tent, taken as a worldview of the Alchemists (well it's symbolic, but people, read the line as it is, so I guess it symbolizes, not that they believed the world had this shape).
WELL [USER=2488]@Shuna[/USER] explains
The well symbolizes contact with God. Water being being the soul (which is in this case with God).
He possesses these three cosmic orders: heaven, earth, hell; of three elements: water, earth and air. The well is a symbol of abundance and the source of life.
The well also refers to Man.
For the sacrifice of children: I think it, as one can take as an example, the pearls in the film "Valerian", coming from the comics, from the director's father. Where he gives back (thanking their God/Goddess), by giving the most powerful pearl, to have other pearls later. Pearls that become a battery for their ship, we can make the reference, to the second film of the first Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, which takes place in the train, which is powered by a child, the best battery, since the child, again young, spirited, straight from Heaven [otherwise we could not live nor move our bodies.
