There can be no question that of all symbolic motifs in the representation of the sacred mysteries of origins, in the religious-mystical traditions of human culture, the vagina symbol is the most feared, being the most mysterious, hidden, unknown as representation of dual passage to life(in birth) and to afterlife(in death). The vagina as the birth-death passage symbol stands at the hardcore of our awestruck fear of the unknown. The vagina is the ascent to life as well as the "dark descent" in death. The womb into which the vagina opens is the symbol of pre-life as well as afterlife: the mystery of mysteries.
