Hello Fraters and Sorores,
Our most recent discourse was concerning the Esoteric Meaning of Easter and encouraged some profound thoughts and discussion from members. While Easter was the topic, the symbolism of the egg was quite prominent. I would like to encourage members to add their thoughts about the mystical meaning of the egg to this discussion board.
A beginning thought might be that the egg is symbolic of new life and renewal. Its importance dates back to the Orphic traditions and possibly beyond. It also has alchemical meaning as well. Please feel free to add your thoughts and any knowledge that you may find appropriate for this discussion board.
with Peace Profound,
Ronda Mitchell

Thank you for your response. The symbolism of the egg goes much further back than the western traditional meaning, to be sure. It can be found in nearly all mystical teachings and also, as you mention to the primordial egg of the Cosmic. You give some great examples of the egg and esoteric teachings. Your mention of the egg shaped rock reminds me of the study we did during an RCUI class on the omphalos, or navel of the earth in Greek mythology. This is a vague connection but may spark some discourse. :-)
