ASKR (ASH TREE) AND EMBLA (ALDER TREE) UPON THE SEA-SHORESymbols of the desire-nature and the instinct nature, fully developed through the astral evolution. “The most perfect objects of vegetation are two trees Askr and Embla, upon the sea-shore. The Gods change these trees into man and woman by giving them the human soul and body” (Voluspa, V. 33–40). – Ida Pfeiffer, Ice-land, p. 314. This refers to the perfecting of the desire and instinct natures in the forms on the astro-physical plane (sea-shore), and the conferring by the higher nature, of mind and spirit on the lower personalities. This development requires the union of mind (man) with emotion (woman) in a fitting human body. |
