Genesis 3:21, The Beginning of Spiritual Amnesia

🌟 The Root Chakra (Muladhara)

📜 Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a spark—a divine invitation to awaken and create. In Genesis 3:21, we read how “the LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.” 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 sacred journey: the emergence of light from darkness, the remembering of our divine essence, and the call to step into the fullness of who we truly are.
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

“The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them.”
(Genesis 3:21)

🕊️ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals the profound shift from divine innocence to the awareness of mortality and the birth of the “animal spirit” within us. When Adam and Eve are clothed in garments of skin, it speaks to the soul’s descent from a purely spiritual existence into the realm of flesh and instinct—a world where survival and self-preservation become the driving forces.

The animal skins symbolize the soul’s adoption of an animal nature—no longer ruled by divine wisdom alone, but by the primal urges of the body. This marks the beginning of spiritual amnesia, where the light of the soul is obscured by the shadows of fear and survival.

Yet even in this descent, there is a seed of divine mercy: the act of clothing is also a protective gesture by God, signifying that even as we journey through the density of form, we are never abandoned. The garments are both a sign of our new “animal spirit” identity and a reminder that divine compassion clothes us, even in our most vulnerable state.

This passage invites us to recognize how we wear the skin of the world—instinct, desire, fear—and to gently remember that beneath it, our true nature remains divine. It calls us to see the difference between the animal spirit that leads us and the divine spirit that guides us. By acknowledging this, we begin the return journey: awakening the soul’s memory of light within the garments of flesh.

We weave these spiritual tools into our reflections and rituals because they are gateways to deeper understanding and alignment with the Divine.

🌟 Kabbalah Insights
Kabbalah Insights help reveal the hidden spiritual architecture beneath scripture, connecting our inner journey with the Tree of Life and the divine sephiroth.
This passage aligns with the sefirah of Malkuth (Kingdom), representing the descent of spirit into physical form.

• Descent of Light: In Kabbalah, this descent is seen as the divine Shekinah entering creation—a reminder that even when clothed in the skin of the world, we carry the divine spark.
• Interplay of Chokhmah and Binah: This interplay shapes our world—where wisdom and understanding are clothed in matter, calling us to see beyond the veil of form.

🌟 Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?

Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soul—a 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 Fool—innocent, beginning a journey.
• Moses is The Hierophant—teacher 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 healing—one that engages the conscious, unconscious, and divine self.

Tarot doesn’t “predict” the Bible—it 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 patterns—inviting 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 they’re 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. It’s about illumination.

It’s about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelation—one that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.

---

Tarot guidance offers archetypal mirrors that help us access subconscious patterns and spiritual lessons.
For this passage, The Devil and The World resonate strongly. The Devil card represents bondage to the lower nature—the animal skin we wear. The World card speaks of completion and integration—our ability to transcend these skins and remember our unity with the divine.

👐 EFT Tapping Sequence

• 🌀 How to Use This Tapping Sequence
  Before beginning, take a few deep breaths and tune in to how you’re feeling. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques), also known as tapping, is a simple and powerful tool that helps release emotional blockages and realign your energy. Gently tap with your fingertips on the points listed below, following the affirmations aloud or silently. Use the sides of both hands, or your dominant hand, and repeat the process 2–3 times or until you feel a shift. This practice supports the spiritual message of today’s passage by helping you integrate its deeper meaning into your body, mind, and soul.

Energy work isn’t always easy—sometimes old blocks resurface. Here’s a tapping sequence to help realign:
1️⃣ Crown: “I open myself to divine light and higher consciousness.”
2️⃣ Third Eye: “I release all blocks to spiritual clarity and trust the divine unfolding.”
3️⃣ Heart Center: “I honor my body as a vessel of divine light.”
4️⃣ Root: “I ground my spirit in the strength of the earth, releasing fear and opening to divine protection.”
🌟 Integration Breath: Breathe deeply, letting each tap align your soul with divine truth.

🌅 Simple Anointing & Meditation Ritual
Anointing
Anointing is the sacred practice of applying essential oils to the body with intention, creating a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. It is a powerful ritual for grounding the energy of your prayers and affirmations into your body, while the aromatic oils awaken your senses and support your alignment with divine truth.
1️⃣ Place a drop of Cedarwood or Frankincense on your fingertips.
2️⃣ Gently anoint the Root Chakra (base of spine) while whispering:

“I anoint myself with divine light, grounding my soul in the Source.”
3️⃣ Optionally anoint the crown and heart centers to balance the flow of spirit and body.

Crystal Companion
Hold or place Smoky Quartz or Red Jasper at the Root Chakra to amplify your grounding and protection.

Meditation for Divine Union

• Sit comfortably, spine straight.
• Close your eyes and breathe deeply.
• Visualize a warm, red light glowing at the base of your spine, anchoring you to the earth’s steady heartbeat.
• Feel this light dissolve fear and animalistic urges, filling you with calm assurance and trust.
• Affirm softly:

“I am rooted in divine truth. My body is a sacred vessel for spirit.”

• Sit in this light for a few moments or longer.

🖋️ Journaling for Reflection
After your meditation, journal any insights, feelings, or images that arose. Honor this as your soul’s gentle awakening—each word a witness to your evolution. Reflect on how you balance the needs of the body with the voice of the spirit, trusting that divine wisdom is always present, even in the instincts of the flesh.

✨ Closing Blessing
May the divine light illuminate your path, guiding you to remember who you truly are. Let it awaken the sacred truth within you, and may you walk each step in harmony with the Source of all creation.
You are the light of creation. So may it be. 🌟
