>>18100533as above so below. he's shown as a hermaphrodite to represent man and women combining as one through religious sex. as you can see the serpent is rising from the base of his spine when the feminine and masculine combine as one. also fun fact the bible is written in masonic and kabbalistic symbolism. When god says in the bible that homosexuality is a sin. they are not actually talking about the sexual orientation. but rather the sexual act itself. the serpent can only rise with duality. the act of homosexual or lesbian sex will never allow them to be one with god aka gnosis.
pic related, it also shows the male holding the sun (action) and the female holding the black sun (stillness) which is also related the hand over the eye. the masculine must guide the chaotic female upward, giving it guidance and purpose.
