Women as trees and their felling as deflowering

Again and again, in traditions, young women are depicted in coded form as trees whose felling symbolizes sexual intercourse and, in particular, deflowering.

The tree as a symbol of life, man and woman

The tree is since ancient times a symbol for the existence as a whole between spirit and matter, on the other hand also for the human being as a whole (with body/roots, soul/stem and spirit/crown).

Women as trees

Trees in their various shapes and sizes, grown from "Mother Earth", with or without a leafy covering, may remind us of women. Thus, in the traditions trees stand again and again for young women, especially virgins, whose love is still intact.

The Goddess of Love and the Collective Feminine

The virgin as goddess of the love and archetype represents however thereby an aspect of the collective feminine, of which each humans carries something in itself. (For both man and woman have both feminine and masculine personality parts). The first traditions tell about the tragic circumstance that the felling of the virgin led to a dying of love, from which all people and even the whole existence are affected.

[S. Sumer: Creation and Fall and The Virgin - Miracle Working Love and Potential.]

Felling of the young women as well as the trees for use

The central common theme as a connection between women and trees is their use.
Since time immemorial, trees have been felled for the production of objects and structures. Equally, however, there used to be an awareness that the inherent life force of women could be "harnessed". For the secret of life lies hidden in the female womb, where a child can grow up and where the man also finds soul-spiritual strengthening through the power of love. In order to make this power accessible to others, the virgin must be "felled.

Before elaborating further, first a look at the lore.

Examples of the young women as trees in traditions

The felling of women as trees

Harnessing their vitality

The secret: the miracle-working power in the womb of the woman

It is a special circumstance and a well-kept secret that the power of life resides in the womb of the woman.

The starting point is that the woman, with her spiritual love, on the one hand gives the man vitality and on the other hand helps him to realize his dreams (because love brings the spirit, the plan, into matter).

[S. The Virgin - Miracle-working Love and Potential and The Female Womb as Life-giving Vessel (Holy Grail)].

A matter of honor for the man!

It is thus a matter of honor and responsibility of the man to value the woman for what she is and gives and henceforth to guard, preserve and not defile this common sanctuary (the woman's womb). (Examples of this can be found in Eisenhans und der Goldbrunnen and Aladin und die Silberschüsseln).

[p. The Sanctuary 3-in-1.]

Destruction of the intact love of the woman

But woe to the man who takes the woman against her will or leaves her again (against her wish) only after sexual intercourse has been consummated. He thus takes her whole life (see The Woman, 3-in-1). According to the first traditions, this is the root of human evil (see below).

Take life and love

Unfortunately, it has been a reality for millennia that women as a whole, body, soul and spirit have been abused and exploited.

Seize the love of the woman

The crazy thing is that men can "steal" this power from the woman for their ego. They take it through sexual intercourse with the woman, but give nothing back, but use it for their own power interests, for the construction of their career, their "palace" or even their reign of terror.
Thus, the abandonment or oppression of the woman who has given herself completely is tantamount to killing her, and rape is even tantamount to brutal murder.

[S. The Integration of the Anima.]

Female seduction: gems instead of fruit on the tree

Died love due to unconsciousness

Mostly, however, such things happen abundantly unconsciously, in that the young men simply follow their instincts or bad role models. For example, young Aladdin does not know what he is doing, but merely obeys the instructions of the wizard from Africa (as an image for the principles of black magic). Thus, the couple is instrumentalized for evil purposes and gets into a negative couple dynamics. To his astonishment, Aladdin then finds, after stealing the lamp, no more fruits but gems on the trees. The same happens to Gilgamesh after his long walk under the mountain, which is a symbol of life in unconsciousness and urges.

Women as trees with gems

A tree bears fruit that is enjoyed, tastes sweet and also nourishes. Gems, however, are inedible. Such trees symbolize women who have no true life (more) to give, but are at best suitable as a status symbol or trophy. They live power through their erotic charisma and are called "witches" in traditions.
Men who seek love and vitality from them will not find them. Instead, they remain even emptier after sexual intercourse and "fly" hungry or even addicted to the next "flower" further.

Conclusions

Women as trees and their felling

Even in the earliest traditions, women are depicted as trees and their felling is an image of the use of their life force. It happens during the first sexual intercourse.

The tragic thing is that this has also happened again and again with abusive intent by means of violence. Thus, the exploitation of women and their vitality is part of the collective system and of human reality.
This is the meaning of the great original sin: Power and abuse are passed on from generation to generation (if they are not broken through the power of love).

[S. The great original sin and the curse and The Poisoned Apple - Abuse as a Collective Reality.]

Immature people: Seduction and oppression

They are immature people who exercise power because they are afraid, because they lack confidence that they will always get what they need. While the male side exercises power through violence and oppression, the female side manipulates by means of seduction and delusion.

The system is not interested in mature people who have achieved wholeness. Thus, the beauty industry flourishes, which helps women gain their power, and men, for their part, thanks to the blue pill, remain eternally macho men who do not want to give up "bunga bunga".

Conversion, wholeness and the way of love

The path to wholeness, however, means that men integrate their female and women their male personality parts. In this way, no one has to take life from the other, because both are whole in themselves.
