Vesica Pisces

In the occult world, the Vesica Pisces is a veiled symbol of the Seal of Solomon.  As with the Rosy Cross, square & compass, Yin-Yang symbol and the hexagram itself, the vesica pisces represents the mingling of opposites.  Male and female.  Light and dark.  In esoteric thought representing dualism, good and evil mixed together.

The perverse sexual imagery of the Washington Monument is made worse in recent times when the addition of pavement in the form of the vesica pisces was made to intersect the monument.

The Washington Monument is the representation of the male phallus. Taken from the Egyptian obelisk, represented as the phallus of Osiris.

The Baphomet is one of the most evil of all symbols.   Looking closely at the Baphomet you will see that the emphasis is on sex.   This Being is androgynous -- both male and female -- you can see it has the breasts of a woman, and an erect phallus.

“In the earliest traditions, the supreme being was represented by a sphere, the symbol of a being with no beginning and no end, continually existing, perfectly formed and profoundly symmetrical.  The addition of a second sphere represented the expansion of unity into the duality of male and female, god and goddess. By overlapping, the two spheres, the god and goddess created a divine offspring.“

The joining of male and female to bring forth divine offspring is the essence of the Mysteries.  This traces back to Genesis 6 where the fallen angels (the male) went into the daughters of men (female) to bring forth the Nephilim.  The imagery of the Mysteries bears out this fact.

“THE yoni and phallus were worshiped by nearly all ancient peoples as appropriate symbols of God’s creative power. The Garden of Eden, the Ark, the Gate of the Temple, the Veil of the Mysteries, the vesica piscis or oval nimbus, and the Holy Grail are important yonic symbols; the pyramid, the obelisk, the cone, the candle, the tower, the Celtic monolith, the spire, the campanile, the Maypole, and the Sacred Spear are symbolic of the phallus.”

In Sacred Geometry, the Vesica Pisces is the beginning of the seed of life, which then becomes the flower of life.

The Vesica Pisces is the basis for the ‘ichthys’ (fish) symbol.  As seen in part 3click here, the fish symbol is not pointing to Messiah Yahshua, but Bacchus/Dionysius who was a type of the beast.

The Vesica Pisces is the basis for the ‘tripod of life’ or the triquetra.  This symbol is discussed in more detail in part 3 as well.

Fruit of Life
The “Fruit of Life” symbol is composed of 13 circles taken from the design of the Flower of Life.  The Fruit of Life is said to be the blueprint of the universe, containing the basis for the design of every atom, molecular structure, life form, and everything in existence.  It contains the geometric basis for the delineation of Metatron’s Cube, which brings forth the platonic solids.

The Kabbalistic Tree of Life derives from the Flower of Life.

Mandorla

The Vesica Pisces is the origin of the ‘mandorla’ which is a described as a cloud of radiant luminance which surrounds religious figures, especially the ‘Virgin Mary.’

Mandorla means almond nut in Italian.  This is interesting to note as there are two words in Hebrew which are translated as almond.

This first is ‘shaqad’ which is the word used for the almond shape figures carved into the Menorah (Exodus 25:33), which represents the Tree of Life.
