Genesis 1:24-31: Day Six – Our Birthright to Embody Divine Love
š The Sacral Chakra
š Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a sparkāa divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 1:24ā31 speaks of the creation of living creaturesācattle, creeping things, wild animals, and humankind. It is the moment when life emerges in fullness, each form embodying divine purpose and design. This passage is not just a historical momentāit is a living parable of your own spiritual awakening, the story of Adamās journey within.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the emergence of our creative power, the embrace of lifeās rich diversity, and the call to honor the sacredness of all forms of existence. May this reflection guide you back to the Source of your being, as you awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adamās transformation.
š Scripture Passage
Genesis 1:24ā31 (NIV)
24 And God said, āLet the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: the livestock, the creatures that move along the ground, and the wild animals, each according to its kind.ā And it was so.
25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, āLet us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.ā
27 So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them and said to them, āBe fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.ā
29 Then God said, āI give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food.
30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the groundāeverything that has the breath of life in itāI give every green plant for food.ā And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morningāthe sixth day.
šļø Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the emergence of the divine creative spark within usāthe birth of life in its many forms, mirroring the infinite potential of the soul. Each creature symbolizes an aspect of our own creative energy, expressing the beauty and diversity of the divine Source. The creation of humankind in the image of God speaks of our birthright to embody divine love, wisdom, and creativity.
The dual nature of āmale and femaleā reflects the balance of masculine and feminine energies within us. It is the union of active and receptive forces, the dance of creation itself. We are invited to honor both the giver and receiver withināour passion to create and our openness to receive.
The command to ābe fruitful and multiplyā is not just about physical reproductionāit is a call to birth new ideas, dreams, and experiences. This is the essence of the Sacral Chakra: the wellspring of creativity, pleasure, and deep connection to lifeās flow.
Finally, the blessing of all plants and creatures as food for all beings reminds us of the interconnectedness of creation. We are woven into the tapestry of life, called to honor the sacredness of all existence, to live in harmony and stewardship.
š Kabbalah Insights
This passage resonates with the sefirah of Yesod (Foundation)āthe channel through which divine creativity becomes manifest in the physical world.
- Descent of Light: The divine creative force flows from the higher sefirah into the earthly realm, anchoring lifeās diversity.
- Interplay of Chokhmah and Binah: Masculine (Chokhmah) and feminine (Binah) energies unite to birth new formsāmirroring the creation of humankind āmale and female.ā
As we meditate on this passage, we awaken our own creative potential and remember the sacred balance within.
š Tarot Guidance
š Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?
Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soulāa symbolic language that transcends time, culture, and religious tradition. When we read the Bible as a mystical or allegorical text, Tarot becomes a powerful companion tool that can help us:
1. Access the Archetypes Hidden in Scripture
The Tarot is built on universal archetypes: The Fool, The Magician, The Lovers, The Tower, etc. These archetypes are spiritual energies and inner states we all encounter on the path of awakening.
The Bible is full of these same patterns:
- Adam is The Foolāinnocent, beginning a journey.
- Moses is The Hierophantāteacher and spiritual leader.
- Jesus is both The Hanged Man (sacrifice) and The Sun (illumination).
By using Tarot, we unlock a symbolic key that helps us interpret the characters and events in scripture as reflections of our own inner transformation.
2. Bridge the Subconscious and the Sacred
While the Bible speaks to our higher mind and spiritual understanding, Tarot speaks to the subconscious, the intuitive, and the emotional body. Combining them creates a full-spectrum map of healingāone that engages the conscious, unconscious, and divine self.
Tarot doesnāt “predict” the Bibleāit mirrors it, offering:
- Emotional resonance
- Inner meaning
- Spiritual lesson
This helps us embody the teachings rather than just intellectualize them.
3. Support Non-Literal, Mystical Interpretation
If we read the Bible not as historical fact but as a soul journey, Tarot supports that framework. It helps us see:
- The Garden of Eden as a state of inner harmony.
- The serpent as a catalyst for awakening.
- Cain and Abel as personas within the psyche.
Tarot cards echo these same patternsāinviting us to reflect and evolve, not just obey.
4. Guide Personal Revelation
Each Tarot card acts as a spiritual mirror. When placed alongside a biblical passage, it can help a person:
- See what part of the story theyāre currently living.
- Recognize emotional blockages or spiritual opportunities.
- Receive direct inner guidance from their higher self.
For example:
- Reading Genesis 4:9 (Cain & Abel) with the Five of Swords and Judgement card helps us feel the moral weight and spiritual call beyond the literal murder.
5. Restore Feminine and Intuitive Wisdom
The Bible, as traditionally interpreted, often silences the feminine, intuitive, and nonlinear aspects of truth. Tarot reintroduces that dimension:
- The High Priestess restores inner knowing and divine mystery.
- The Empress revives the sacred feminine as a nurturing creator.
- The Moon invites emotional depth and healing.
This balances the rational, patriarchal frameworks and helps integrate heart with mind, intuition with logic.
Final Thought:
Using Tarot with the Bible is not about divination. Itās about illumination.
Itās about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelationāone that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.
The EmpressāThis card speaks of fertility, sensuality, and the abundant power of creation. It invites us to nurture our creative ideas and trust the cycles of life.
The LoversāA reminder of the inner union of masculine and feminine energies, and the harmony born from this divine balance.
