Random Bookshelf Reading 43
Question: This week?
Answer: "The World Tree, with its roots in the underworld and its branches in the heavens, is a portrait of the relationship of the worlds to each other and the process of passing from one to the other. The beanstalk, the ladder, the axis mundi, the cross, the grove of the goddess, the tree of life, the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden, and the kabbalistic Tree of Life are variations on this fundamental teaching. These are also metastories, myths about myth itself, where myth is the other world, the other side of our mind, both psyche and the cosmos." (p.151)
