GOLDEN EGG TAROT MAJOR ARCANA

   The ancient symbol of the Orpheus mysteries is the egg in which the serpent hugs. This symbol shows the Cosmos surrounded by the Creative Spirit that does not fit into its container. The egg also shows the spirit of the philosopher and the snake shows the Mystery Doctrine. At the time of the initiation, the egg shell breaks and the human philosophical renewal emerges from the fetal physical existence during the period of convalescence.
