My Book of HORROR Stories: A Garden full of symbolism in JW literature?
Published 2024-08-11
When taken literally, the story falls flat compared to its rich cultural and traditional history woven into the SWANA region.
Recontextualizing the story from the perspective of an elite class with a motive to write out the divine feminine that was prominent in Canaan, we can better see this wasn't simply about a first man and woman, but a disconnect of humans from the divine aspect now kept under a lock and key, forever hidden in the sanctuary.
Knowledge, wisdom, and the secrets to life contained within Asherah traditions are polemicized in the Eden epic, and women and everyone in between pay the price.
The Patriarchy replaces the Mother Goddess with a genocidal male God, and the world has been off balance since.
Faraj is a really nice guy, and he wants to meet his son badly! The apartheid wall, which is similar to segregation, not only keeps the Palestinians in but also has kept him from holding his son, Rifiq.

It's interesting how the Divine Feminine symbology of the snake, the tree and the connection to Asherah are all things that Yahweh didn't want Adam & Eve to be privy to. It reminds me of all the OT 'do not choose any other god before me' and 'I am a jealous god' sayings. I wonder if this is reflecting the forceful pull away from polytheism and the old feminine deity worship, like Asherah, and toward monotheism and Yahweh instead. It had to be quite the rift that happened and we see that in the numerous wars & battles between Israel and Babylon.
