A veil is symbol of the feminine goddess (Binah, Outer Robe of Concealment) who wove the material world into existence, the mystery of sex, creation and the spirit world in mystery religions. In Sumeria when Inanna descended in the underworld with a torch, looking for the sun, she was Eresh-ki-gal, queen of the night, lifting her 7 veils. In ancient Egypt Isis was worshiped as the veiled bitch during the Dog Days, the hottest day of summer when dog star Sirius disappeared behind the sun. |
