Image:R-COA-9B.GIF|Pigna ("pine-cone") refers to a famous bronze sculpture of roman origin, in the shape of a huge pine-cone. According to a popular mediaeval legend, it once stood on top of the Pantheon, as a lid for the round opening in the center of the building's vault. Instead, the sculpture is likely to have been used as a fountain in the Baths of Agrippa, Rome's earliest ones (late 1st century BC), which stood just behind the Pantheon's site. In the early Middle Ages the pine-cone was moved to the old St.Peter's basilica, and placed in the court before the church, to be used again as a fountain. | Image:R-COA-9B.GIF|Pigna ("pine-cone") refers to a famous bronze sculpture of roman origin, in the shape of a huge pine-cone.

** Another very common form of the [[w:solar wheel|solar wheel]] found in many churches is the rose window. This is often placed above the entrance of the church. It might be unrelated, but they are remarkably similar to the sun images placed over the entrances to Babylonian and Egyptian temples. This show how the customs of Babylonish sun worship have become a traditional part of professed Christian Churches. [http://www.hlinc-zionsake.org/Babylon/07-Rome-Symbolism.html] | |||
** What is the meaning behind a [[w:rose window|rose window]]? Many contemporary authors wax on about [[w:Analytical psychology|Jungian psychology]] and the rose window as a mandala, which represents the "expression of human aspiration towards wholeness and coherence." [2, p.10] [[w:mandala|Mandalas]] have existed in Eastern religion and philosophy for centuries, and in modern thinking, the medieval rose window serves much the same purpose... In eastern philosophy, there are many paths to reach the divine, and these are represented by "gates" at the cardinal points of the mandala. By the same token, saints depicted in the petals of a rose window can be seen as intermediaries (or paths) to Christ. [http://www.eso-garden.com/index.php?/weblog/C25/] | |||

Pine cone
- Various notes:
- The pine cone, on the tree of life, slowly ripens the conifer's female seeds, and in the later stages the cone opens up to release its matured seeds. This process symbolizes the expansion of consciousness ( --> This is directly related to Enlightenment, New Age agenda, Gnosis).
- See also Fir tree
- Ancient depictions:
Thyrsus staff from Greek mythology [4]
See also: Primal eye: GreekBronze hand of the Roman mystery cult of Sabazios/Dionysus (see also the Ancient Greece mystery schools: Dionysian Mysteries and the later Eleusinian Mysteries and Orphic Mysteries).
It dates from the late Roman Empire, when all forms of divination from scrying to astrology, flourished.
Note: the serpent/dragon/lizard head, the reverse awen handsign, the cow/bull above the altar, and something that resembles a human in a pupa.Pigna ("pine-cone") refers to a famous bronze sculpture of roman origin, in the shape of a huge pine-cone. According to a popular mediaeval legend, it once stood on top of the Pantheon, as a lid for the round opening in the center of the building's vault. Instead, the sculpture is likely to have been used as a fountain in the Baths of Agrippa, Rome's earliest ones (late 1st century BC), which stood just behind the Pantheon's site. In the early Middle Ages the pine-cone was moved to the old St.Peter's basilica, and placed in the court before the church, to be used again as a fountain.

Angkor Wat - a temple complex at Angkor, Cambodia
To research: conifer species in this region (in history), or was this symbolism imported from other cultures? If both fail, its a strong case against the "pine cone" symbolism theory here.Mexican god holds pine cones and fir tree, symbols of rebirth and the sun. [9]
The pine cone is a common symbol on images of Hindu Gods in India [10]
- Roman Catholic:
The largest pinecone statue in the world - flanked by two peacocks - near the Vatican courtyard (Court of the Pine Cone) (larger image).
Note: that the pine cone is unopened and therefore immature and unenlightened!(see previous)

Lily
Sacred blue lily
- Various notes:
- Various names: Nymphaea caerulea, Egyptian blue lily, Sacred blue lily.
- This is an entheogenic plant (see also this video).
- "It was considered extremely significant in Egyptian mythology, since it was said to rise and fall with the Sun. Consequently, due to its colourings, it was identified, in some beliefs, as having been the original container, in a similar manner to an egg, of Atum, and in similar beliefs Ra, both solar deities. As such, its properties form the origin of the lotus variant of the Ogdoad cosmogeny. It was the symbol of the Egyptian deity Nefertem." [25]
- "The blue lily does have psychoactive effects, but in my experience it is not a trip like acid or peyote, and instead is very mild, more so than marijuana. It is however a very powerful aphrodisiac." [26]
"Ancient Egyptian funerary stele of a man named Ba (seated, sniffing a sacred lotus while receiving libations). Ba's son Mes and wife Iny are also seated. The identity of the libation bearer is unspecified. New Kingdom, Dynasty XVIII, c. 1550-1292 BC." [14]

Rose
- Various notes:
- 5-pedaled rose, rose cross:
Tudor rose
"The Tudor rose (sometimes called the Union Rose) is the traditional floral heraldic emblem of England and takes its name and origins from the Tudor dynasty." [18]
"The Tudor Rose is a secret symbol of the Elite Most Noble Order of the Garter. To understand the symbol you have to research into the Mystic degrees of Freemasonry 18th degree and upwards. The symbol is Rosicrucian (Rosy Cross) and has a two fold meaning. The two rose, (one white, one red) represent the the two orders, Inner and Outer. The white rose is a 5 pointed star, and represents the S.S (Silver Star) outer order, and he red rose (upside down 5 pointed star) represents the Inner order of the Knights Companions of the Order of the Garter, the Knights of Rhodes and Malta. The Companions of 300 Knights (the Rosicrucians) of the Order of the Round Table. They represent the York rite of Freemasonry, and are the successors of the Knight Templar."

Note: the pyramid and all-seeing eye and the dove.An inverted 5-pedaled rose appears in the center of this unicursal hexagram used by Aleister Crowley.
Rose Window
- Various notes:
- Another very common form of the solar wheel found in many churches is the rose window. This is often placed above the entrance of the church. It might be unrelated, but they are remarkably similar to the sun images placed over the entrances to Babylonian and Egyptian temples. This show how the customs of Babylonish sun worship have become a traditional part of professed Christian Churches. [27]
- What is the meaning behind a rose window? Many contemporary authors wax on about Jungian psychology and the rose window as a mandala, which represents the "expression of human aspiration towards wholeness and coherence." [2, p.10] Mandalas have existed in Eastern religion and philosophy for centuries, and in modern thinking, the medieval rose window serves much the same purpose... In eastern philosophy, there are many paths to reach the divine, and these are represented by "gates" at the cardinal points of the mandala. By the same token, saints depicted in the petals of a rose window can be seen as intermediaries (or paths) to Christ. [28]
Colored window in the church "Himmelfahrtskirche" Dresden-Leuben, Germany (1901) [21]
North Rose Stained Glass Window at Chartres Cathedral, France [22]
Acacia
- Various notes:
- "The Acacia is used as a symbol in Freemasonry, to represent purity and endurance of the soul, and as funerary symbolism signifying resurrection and immortality. Also, when God gave Moses the instructions for building the Tabernacle, he said to "make an ark of acacia wood" and "make a table of acacia wood" (Exodus 25:10 & 23)". Acacias contain a number of organic compounds (DMT, NMT) that defend them from pests and grazing animals. Egyptian mythology has associated the acacia tree with characteristics of the tree of life. [29]

"The Acacia Fraternity is not the oldest, or largest, or most famous college fraternity, but its origin is distinctive and its record distinguished. With nearly 46,000 initiates since its founding in 1904 and with chapters spread across the United States and Canada, the Acacia Fraternity stands out among its peer collegiate Greek-letter fraternities as being the only college fraternity that uses a Greek word as its name in place of a series of Greek letters and was founded solely by members of the Masonic Fraternity."
