FERTILITY CULT: "In Medieval Christian art, the enthroned Virgin is often inscribed within a mandorla or vesica piscis shape, which of course formally resembles the vulva and also has multiple associations within the realm of sacred geometry. Interestingly, so are images of Christ at the Last Judgment, which are often positioned in cathedrals directly opposite the enthroned Virgin. In such spaces, we are bookended by a form which represents the goddess, the threshold to the void of nonbeing on either side of life. We all emerged into this life through the vagina of a female human, avatar of the goddess, and have assigned the point of departure into death the exact same shape."
