The Cross

Image

The Universal Cosmic Drama as seen in Christian art (c. 1350) and Aztec art (c. 1500).

In both images the Virgin Mother lies upon her back and from her womb is born the Tree of Life. Atop the tree is the pelican (left) medieval symbol of the Christ, and the Quetzal (right) the Aztec symbol of the Christ (Quetzalcoatl). The tree in both images is born of the blood of supreme sacrifice; on the left, this blood flows from the wounds of crucifixion, and on the right from the phallus of Quetzalcoatl and his twin brother. In Christian symbolism Jesus was crucified at Calvary (latin for "skull") or Golgotha (Aramaic for "skull") while the Aztec mother goddess is related to a place called "Skull." For more information, refer to Aztec Christic Magic by Samael Aun Weor.
