Genesis 3:14-15, The Body, The Soul, and The Spirit
đ The Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)
đ Introduction
In the beginning, the journey of the soul begins with a sparkâa divine invitation to awaken and create. Genesis 3:14-15 speaks of the serpentâs curse and the enmity between the serpent and the woman. This passage is not just a historical accountâit is a living parable of your own inner landscape: the interplay between body, spirit, and soul.
Every word, every breath in this scripture mirrors our sacred journey: the bodyâs energy (the serpent), the spiritual voice (Eve), and the soulâs dominion (Adam). Eve was taken from the same divine light as Adam but was given a different roleâshe is the spiritual voice, the intuitive channel that bridges the soul to the divine. Adam was given dominion over the body, yet he can only hear the divine through Eveâs spiritual insight. The serpent, representing the bodyâs primal voice and energy in motion (emotion), speaks only to Eve, never directly to Adam.
May this reflection guide you back to the Source of your being, as you awaken the light within and walk the eternal path of Adamâs transformation.
đ Scripture Passage
Genesis 3:14-15 (KJV)
14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
đď¸ Allegory & Metaphysical Interpretation
This passage reveals a spiritual hierarchy within each of us:
- Serpent (Body): The primal voice of instinct, energy in motion, bound to the dust of the earth.
- Eve (Spirit): The bridge between the body and the soul, translating the voice of the body into spiritual insight.
- Adam (Soul): The authority and dominion, aligning body and spirit with divine will.
The enmity set between the serpent and the woman reveals the eternal tension between the flesh and the spirit. The serpentâs seed is mortal, driven by bodily cravings that perish with the dust. The womanâs seed is eternalârooted in divine light, it is the quiet, enduring voice of the spirit that survives beyond the decay of the flesh.
This enmity is the crucible of transformation. The serpentâs energy bruises the heelâour grounded foundation in the worldâwhile the spiritâs seed crushes the headâthe center of direction and authority of the bodyâs impulses. It is a dynamic dance: the bodyâs desires must be guided by the soulâs light through the spiritâs wisdom. Adam, as the soul, must listen to Eve, the spiritual voice, to rule the bodyâs energy in divine order.

These spiritual tools are gateways to deeper understanding, revealing the hidden architecture of light and form, and the balance of spirit and flesh within.
đ Kabbalah Insights
Kabbalah teaches that the serpentâs seed represents Malkuth (Kingdom)âthe physical realmâwhile the womanâs seed aligns with Yesod (Foundation) and beyond, reaching toward the divine. The enmity is the call to integrate these polarities, to let the eternal spirit guide the transient body.
đ Tarot Guidance
đ Why Use Tarot to Help Explain the Bible?
Tarot and the Bible both speak the language of the soulâa 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 Foolâinnocent, beginning a journey.
- Moses is The Hierophantâteacher 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 healingâone that engages the conscious, unconscious, and divine self.
Tarot doesnât “predict” the Bibleâit 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 patternsâinviting 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 theyâre 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. Itâs about illumination.
Itâs about awakening the layers of divine meaning encoded in scripture so that it becomes a living revelationâone that meets you exactly where you are on your spiritual path.
The High Priestess represents Eveâs intuitive role. The Strength card symbolizes the soulâs power to tame the serpentâs impulses. The Star card affirms the light of the spirit that cannot be extinguished.
đ A Course in Miracles Reflection
A Course in Miracles teaches: âNothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God.â The seed of the flesh is transient, while the seed of the spirit is eternal. This enmity within is an invitation to remember the spiritâs truth.
