Genesis 1:24-31: Day Six – Our Birthright to Embody Divine Love
🌟 The Sacral Chakra
📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 1:24–31 speaks of the creation of living creatures—cattle, 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 moment—it is a living parable of your own spiritual awakening, the story of Adam’s journey within.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our own sacred journey: the emergence of our creative power, the embrace of life’s 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 Adam’s transformation.
📖 Scripture Passage
Genesis 1:24–31 (NIV)
24 And God said, “Let 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.” 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, “Let 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.”
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, “Be 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.”
29 Then God said, “I 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 ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.
31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.
🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the emergence of the divine creative spark within us—the 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 “male and female” 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 within—our passion to create and our openness to receive.
The command to “be fruitful and multiply” is not just about physical reproduction—it 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 life’s 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.
💎 Emerald Tablet Insight
Tablet XIII – The Keys of Life and Death
“Man is born in the body, but the Light he holds is eternal. Grow thou in power, O flame-born soul, until thou art one with the Light.”
This powerful truth mirrors Genesis 1:24–31, the sixth day of creation when Adam (humanity) is formed in the image and likeness of God. The earth brings forth living creatures, and finally, man—male and female—is given dominion, not as a ruler in pride, but as a vessel of divine stewardship. This is not just about being made in God’s image—it is the embodiment of divine love through conscious form.
The Emerald Tablet reminds us that although we are born into physicality, our essence is eternal Light. Day Six is the awakening of the Heart Chakra in Adam—the integration point where heaven and earth meet within the soul. To be “very good” is not about moral perfection, but about wholeness: love, intelligence, and will aligned. Dominion, then, is sacred care. It is the birthright to walk the earth as love embodied, to reflect divine order through kindness, creativity, and connection. This is when Adam remembers—not only who he is, but why he is.

HI there
What If Creation is an Inside Job?
It’s fascinating to look at a familiar story, like the creation account in Genesis, and see it in a completely new light. Instead of viewing it as just a historical event that happened long ago, we can see it as a beautiful metaphor for our own spiritual journey. The idea is that the creation of the world “out there” is also a story about the creative spark waking up inside of you.
This passage from Genesis, which talks about creating all the living creatures and humankind, isn’t just about how the world got its start. It’s a roadmap for our own awakening. It’s about that moment we feel a divine nudge to create, to grow, and to embrace all the different parts of ourselves.
Breaking Down the Metaphor
When we read the story this way, every piece takes on a new meaning:
The Animals and Creatures: Each animal symbolizes a different aspect of our own creative energy and potential. Just as the land brought forth a rich diversity of life, our soul holds a rich diversity of gifts waiting to emerge.
“In Our Image”: Being created in God’s image is seen as our divine birthright to be creators ourselves—to act with love, wisdom, and imagination.
“Male and Female”: This isn’t just about gender. It speaks to the two essential energies we all have within us: the “masculine” energy of action and doing, and the “feminine” energy of being receptive and intuitive. True creativity happens when these two sides are in balance.
“Be Fruitful and Multiply”: This becomes a powerful call to action for our souls. It’s not just about having children, but about giving birth to new ideas, dreams, projects, and experiences. It’s the very essence of living a creative and passionate life.
Food for All: The final blessing, where plants are given as food for all creatures, is a beautiful reminder that everything is interconnected. We are all part of one single tapestry of life, and we have a responsibility to honor and care for all of it.
Deeper Connections with Other Traditions
To explore this idea further, we can look at how other mystical systems interpret this creative energy.
Kabbalah Insights: In Jewish mysticism, this passage connects to the concept of Yesod (Foundation). Think of Yesod as the channel through which divine ideas flow down and become real in the physical world. It’s the bridge between a thought and its creation, which is exactly what’s happening in this part of Genesis.
Tarot Guidance: So, why use Tarot to understand the Bible? Because both use a powerful language of symbols to talk about the soul’s journey.
The Empress: This card is the ultimate symbol of creation, fertility, and abundance. She perfectly represents the energy of Genesis 1, inviting us to nurture our own creative seeds.
The Lovers: This card reminds us of the importance of harmony and balance, especially between the masculine and feminine energies within us. It’s about making choices that align both our hearts and our minds.

Hi Elke
Thank you so much for taking the time to engage so deeply with the message. It’s always affirming to see how the reflections in this blog can mirror the wisdom already stirring within others. Your comment beautifully echoes the heart of what I explored in the post—that creation is an inner journey, and the Genesis story is a sacred metaphor for our spiritual awakening.
I’m grateful the themes of divine image, creative energy, and the sacred balance of masculine and feminine resonated with you. That connection across traditions—Kabbalah, Tarot, and personal intuition—truly brings these insights to life.
It’s a joy to witness the spark of alignment in your words. Thank you for being part of this unfolding conversation.
With light,
Alchemist Iris
Your reflections always invite me to pause and think deeply, and this post is no exception. While I personally hold to the traditional interpretation of Scripture, I truly respect the way you draw from diverse spiritual tools to illuminate timeless truths.
The way you explored the Genesis creation account as an allegory for divine creativity, balance, and our inner sacred design was beautiful. I especially appreciated the emphasis on our role as co-creators and the reminder to honor both the active and receptive within us.
I may not view Tarot or the Kabbalah in the same way, but I admire how you integrate them with intention, reverence, and a clear desire to lead others into deeper self-awareness and connection with the Divine.
Thank you for continually sharing your heart through these posts. They stretch my perspective while grounding me in the shared longing to live a life shaped by divine love and sacred purpose.
Alyssa, thank you so much for this thoughtful and gracious comment. It truly means a lot to hear that—even from a place of differing interpretation—you found value in the heart of the message. That bridge between perspectives is sacred ground to me.
I believe we each carry a unique lens through which the Divine speaks, and while the tools I use (like Tarot or Kabbalah) may not be part of every path, they’ve become ways for me to deepen into the mystery and honor the spiritual architecture I believe God placed within us. I deeply respect your devotion to Scripture in its traditional form, and I’m grateful that we can meet in that shared longing—to embody divine love and walk in sacred purpose.
Thank you for reading with such an open heart. Your words reflect the kind of spiritual maturity and kindness that this world needs more of. I’m honored to be in dialogue with you here.
With love and respect,
Iris
How joyful is the moment in Genesis 1:27 where God breathes divine image into humanity talk about the ultimate spiritual glow-up! That verse radiates like a holy disco ball, shining the truth that we are handcrafted masterpieces, made to love, create, and rule with compassion. Isn’t it wild to think that your quirks, passions, and deepest dreams are reflections of divine design? And how fun is it that creativity itself whether painting, parenting, or planning your next adventure is a sacred act?
The integration of the Sacral Chakra lit me up. Pleasure and spirituality working together? Yes, please. How often do we deny our creative longings thinking they’re “just hobbies,” when really, they’re divine whispers?
Hi Ravin,
Oh wow—what a radiant comment! I absolutely adore how you phrased it: “a holy disco ball” made me laugh and nod in full agreement. That moment in Genesis 1:27 truly is the ultimate spiritual glow-up, and your reflection captures the joy, playfulness, and power of it so beautifully.
Yes, yes, yes—our quirks, passions, and deepest dreams aren’t random; they’re divine fingerprints. And when we create—from a place of pleasure, love, or even curiosity—we’re actually embodying that original spark of Genesis. That’s why integrating the Sacral Chakra here felt so essential. The idea that pleasure and spirituality not only coexist but fuel each other is something we’ve been starved of for too long.
Your words remind us that it’s not indulgent to follow our creative longings—it’s obedient to the divine design. Thank you for bringing your light, your humor, and your deep wisdom to this conversation. I feel lit up just reading it!
With divine joy and sacred sparkle,
Alchemist Iris
Wow, this post is such a rich tapestry of scripture, spirituality, and embodied practice. I truly felt drawn into the beauty of creation from both a biblical and energetic perspective. I loved how Genesis was reinterpreted through the lens of the Sacral Chakra and divine creativity. It made the scripture feel deeply personal and alive. The integration of Tarot, essential oils, and music created such a multidimensional experience. Have you considered creating a printable ritual guide or mini-journal prompts for readers to carry this practice into their week?
Hi Kavitha,
Thank you so much for this deeply affirming message. I’m touched that you experienced the post as a living, breathing reflection of divine creativity—that is exactly the spirit I hoped to convey. Reinterpreting Genesis through the Sacral Chakra brought such a sense of joy and renewal to me, too. It’s a reminder that creation is not just something God did then—it’s something we’re invited to embody now.
I absolutely love your idea about creating a printable ritual guide and journal prompts. In fact, you’ve given me the little nudge I needed! I’ve been sketching ideas for a set of weekly companion tools that help carry the energy of each decode into daily life—something tactile, reflective, and sacred. Your suggestion is a beautiful confirmation that it’s time.
Thank you for being here and for walking this path with such grace and curiosity. Your presence is felt and appreciated more than you know.
With gratitude and creative blessings,
Iris
