Mead & Meaning - The Sacred Vine
Yesterday we held our very first Mead & Meaning meeting, allowing us to engage in a group conversation that was eye-opening and, at least for me, certainly broadened and deepend my understanding of the image of the True Vine.
Thank you to everyone who attended, I hope the meeting was 'fruitful' for you. To everyone who couldn't make it, please do join us in November for our next meeting. It's really great to finally see this community get off the ground.
God bless,
Ryan
In relation to the "masculine / feminine" or "primordial polarity" symbolism that we picked up on in the image. I think it's important to remember that this fundamental symbolism is mostly not about sex, it is about identity and a fundamental polarity in creation (the union of "heaven and earth") . Sex is just one concrete example of this polarity. As C.S. Lewis states in his book 'Peralandra', sex is derivative of gender (of this fundamental polarity) / gender is a more fundamental reality than sex.
