Ro, I made a post years ago on the Goddess forum that I think you will find interesting if I may share it here.
I believe that some of my family were into Rhenish and very old Netherlands mysticism. My Great Aunt Gertrude “Gert†was a very deep thinker and because of that fact I believe that she used humor and a little joking around to pull her mind back from such depth as a balancing mechanism.
She asked me one day,†How many sides are there to the cross?†I told her that there were 4, just to be contrary. I figured that there is in actuality a top, a bottom ,and2 sides. I just wanted to give her little gas so I just blurted out that answer thinking that she would be bugged a little.
She told me that I was right! She said that God is at the top, the unknown was at the bottom, Jesus was on one side and the Holy Ghost on the other. I Asked her ,â€Unknown at the bottom???†She said that the unknown is the support, the one that is in the earth and yet supports the entire structure. After she said that she looked very seriously at me. She had a very deep spirit and seemed to have a way of “seeing†things beyond, if you will.
Then she lightened up and with a hint of humor in her voice she told me,†Only a woman could hold all of that up!â€
That has been many many years ago but I thought that you would appreciate it.
Blessings
