What is usually the summit of visibility becomes the deepest of roots. The mountain sign descends into the cavern. Saturn, ruler of Capricorn, if placed here,…
When Jesus, in the Gospel of John, tells Nicodemus that one must be born again to see the Kingdom of God, the disciple responds with astonishment: “How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb and be born?” (John 3:4). The exchange reveals the…
The Scriptures often speak of the place where there will be weeping and the grinding of teeth. The phrase has haunted generations of readers because it touches the border between body and soul.
