According to Kabbalah, God is perfect Unity he is referred to as the Holy One but he has two aspects and the first part of Creation in order to make two out of the Holy One God had to separate into its two aspects the one aspect is the left side of God which is primordial chaos which is the womb which is the darkness and the blood the blood is the soul the other aspect of God is light light is male the soul is female is chaos as the womb is blood the light is male it is seed that seed emanates into the darkness in the form of an ejaculation that fills the womb of chaos with male seed and the two co-mingle to establish creation so there is a mixture of the two to establish creation and the Holy One is divided by those two aspects of light and darkness of womb and of male seed female womb and male seed.
The Olive Tree is a perfect representation of that and it also represents the two serpents the holy Serpent and the evil Serpent. The Serpent of darkness and the Serpent of light. Very often as olive trees age they divide into these two main trunks coming from the same roots that provide them with the Waters of the underground primordial Waters of chaos. And they battle each other for the light and this is represented by the Serpent's curse of Genesis chapter 3 verses 14 and 15. one of the serpents can strike at the heel of the other Serpent and kill it off by blocking its nourishment from The Roots the other serpent can strike at the head of the other part of the tree and shaded from the light and the Serpent's curse is that there will be two peoples one descended from the evil serpent Satan and the other descended from the holy serpent Yahweh. And these represent Israelites and Gentiles and it is also represented in the battle between the twins Esau the darkness and Jacob the light.
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).
