Symbolism is Not Entirely Subjective
I’m no expert on the occult, so this post is simply intended to provoke thought. Additionally, frank talk regarding the occult use of phallic and yonic symbolism is unavoidable for any worthwhile discussion of this subject matter. I have sought to address this in the most modest and dignified manner possible, and have pixilated portions of one particularly salacious image.
It is commonly noted that modern urban Christians find the agricultural illustrations of Scripture to be foreign and obscure. What is less commonly appreciated is that most Christians today live, eat, and breathe in an Enlightenment atmosphere, having received the materialist worldview they were taught in government schools as an unexamined first principle. Thus, things like the necessity of blood atonement, the dedication of first fruits, the supernatural role in fecundity, etc., matters once understood on an implicit level, now seem strange and mystifying. Such also is the case with rightly comprehending symbolism.
