But don't you reject this interpretation, Dot? Why speak of it favorably?

Reject? I question everything... and here I'm just stating what Kabbalah teaches. It's the symbolism of the Olive Tree. For instance we can often see the Olive Tree broken off into two parts with a hollow womb in between. There is also a serpentine nature of the two sides of the Holy Serpent and the Evil Serpent, representing the duality of our material world. This is very common among olive trees. Now in Kabbalah by exterminating the Gentiles that soul is released will return to the Holy Serpent and the two will become one. That's the significance of the hollow space between the two that represents in Kabbalah the womb of the sin that is the void that the einsof forms within itself. The contraction so that existence can be made of these two opposite things of the blood of the womb of chaos and the male seed of Light which is emanated into that womb to create life as the co-mingling of opposites.

All of this mythology derives from originally the Egyptians as passed along through the Orphic Greeks and their mythology of Phoenix protogenos as the sun, the silver Cosmic egg created by his parents Chronos (Time) and Ananke (Necessity).
