Divine Helen, the Goddess of the Tree of Life, stands upon Omphalos Orbis,
the World Navel, the Cosmic Axis, the Navel of the Earth. The
Winged Oak, the Tree of Life, is the Cosmic Pillar connecting Heaven
and Earth. Ambrosia is drawn up from the Abyss by the Tree’s
Roots, and Heavenly Dewy Nectar falls from the leaves, from both of
which the Divine Nurse doth nourish the world. She is the Matrix, the Mother, the Mater, the Matter. (See “Omphalos Orbis,” in this
gallery, which depicts the surrounding Cosmic Topography of Helen and Her Tree.) (For more on Helen and the Tree at the World Navel, see the Olympic Banishing
Ritual of the Pentagram, verses viij–xij, and the discussion of the Goddess of the Cosmic Tree in my Summary of Pythagorean Theology.)
Digitally executed using DAZ|Studio®, Bryce® 5, and Bryce® 6.
