Seed

The symbols of seed and bone are very similar.  If one has the root stock, the basis, the original part, if one has the seed corn, any havoc can be repaired, devastations can be resewn, fields can be rested, hard seen can be soaked to soften it, to help it break open and thrive.

To have the seed means to have the key to life.   To be with the cycles of the seed means to dance with life, dance with death, dance into life again.  This embodies the Life and Death mother in her most ancient and principled form.  Because she turns in these constant cycles, I call her the Life/Death/Life Mother.

The above excerpt is from "Women Who Run With the Wolves" by Clarissa Pinkola Estes, Ph.D.  - a fabulous and highly recommended book!
