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 together with its seeding effect on other people and culture. Note how the cone at the Vatican (see below) is immature and therefore unopened - just the way they want it!
    • "In Greek mythology, a Thyrsus (thyrsos) was a staff of giant fennel (Ferula communis) covered with ivy vines and leaves, sometimes wound with taeniae and always topped with a pine cone. Where these emblems were, there was the spirit of Dionysus also. Euripides wrote that honey dripped from the thyrsos staves that the Bacchic maenads carried. It was a sacred instrument at religious rituals and fetes." [4]
    • "The pine and its cone is a symbol of the rebirth cycle, eternal life etc. and therefore the sun and the Amanita mushroom ("phoenix") with the enlightenment it brings when you experience the shamanic spiritual death/rebirth from its drug effects (the 'gateway' to the other realm, polarity unification, Venus etc) The Amanita grows under the pine tree. Our red and white 'presents' under the xmas tree. The pine cone is hanging in the branches, perhaps then also a direct symbol of the drying mushroom, like the Church would hang the eucharist on their xmas trees inside the churches and we hang our xmas ornaments on the pine tree to symbolise the Amanita. Which is why the pine cone is seen with the snakes like that. And why it is associated with IHS (Bacchus/Dionysos), the mystery god of inebriation, and his 'thyrsus', connected to both Demeter and her shroomy Eleusinian Mysteries aswell as the Orphic Mysteries." [5]

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.

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.

"The Fountain of the Pine-cone" (1927)

This fountain sits in front of San Marco church, one of Rome's oldest churches (4th century).

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.

Acacia

"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."
