The Pagan symbolism of both the cross and the horseshoe. A alternate self-portrait.
“The horseshoe shape was one of the most sacred in the ancient world, because it was a stylization of the yoni and signified entrances and exits in general. Druidic temples, Hindu and Arabic arches testify to the importance of the yoni. (Revelation 1:8) was usurped from older titles of the Mother of birth and death.
The omega-shaped horseshoe continued to be hung “for luck” over doorways throughout the Christian era, protecting the threshold as it did in pagan times. There was always controversy, however, about whether it’s opening should point upward or downward. Orthodox piety insisted that the omega should be reversed, so “the luck wouldn’t run out.” Pagan tradition said the symbolic yoni from the doorway should retain its original upward arch. The two ways of hanging the horseshoe actually echoed the magic signs called Dragon’s Tail, the ascending node and the descending node, connected with the path of the moon above and below the ecliptic, which when plotted would result in the way line representing the lunar serpent.”
The most sacred gateway to life is the yoni until we meet the portal to the afterlife.
