Truth can be difficult to discern sometimes, especially when we seek what is sometimes beyond reason, beyond the five senses, even.
My reading over the past six months has been focused on various aspects of the Divine Feminine, the dark Madonna, labyrinths, and various other symbols that resonate within our souls and connect us with ancient truths.
How interesting it was to learn that the fish symbol appropriated by modern Christians for their bumper stickers had its origins in pagan symbology----as a vulva, symbol of the Divine Feminine, the Goddess, who is present in both spirit and body, a mix of life sorely missing in Western civilization's pride in its "conquering" of nature through its "superior science" and focus on the mind's powers to the exclusion of what was often considered humans' "dumb animal" nature.
And so we are all connected through symbols----whether we know their various meanings or not----something that can remind us that, though we are all unique, we are nonetheless connected.
