Happy Mother’s Day
May 13th, 2007
The Venus de Milo was originally sculpted holding an apple. The apple rested in her left hand, the left being associated to the feminine.
The core of an apple, if you cut it in half, has the shape of a pentagram, or five-pointed star. To the ancients, the five points symbolized the elements of all things: water, earth, idea, heat, air.
The pentagram is a symbol of the underworld - the Core of Inner Being, the place to which all must journey if they are to find wisdom.
The Venus de Milo now resides in the Louvre. She calls to us from her pedastal to remember the ancient wisdom of our Mothers. She waits patiently, smiling on her children, shining in the light.
