Much of ancient mythology was based on sex and fertility worship, and here is the hermaphroditic symbol of sexual unification in the mushroom itself. The underside of the mushroom takes on the appearance of a vulva penetrated from below and supported by the male phallic. It has formed into a embodiment of interfused duality. The stem of the mushroom (representing the male phallic and the sun, as in an obelisk) is joined with the cap of the mushroom (the underside of the cap represents the female uterus and earth and the top of the cap is symbolized as a single female breast and also the sun). Once the cap of the growing mushroom begins to separate from the stalk, it is no longer considered exclusively male. In the biblical stories, Adam existed before Eve. Metaphorically, Adam represents the phallic stages of the mushroom, which occur before the female stages of the growth cycle. Eve (the eave of the mushroomnm and symbolically, the female portion of the mushroom), is born from the side of Adam. In nature, when the Amanita's cap separates to form the cave (canopy), it figuratively pulls a rib out of the stalk.
Sonne's day (Sun-day) is Sunday; Mond's day (Moon-day) is Monday (Spanish: Limes); Tiu's day (Mars) is Tuesday; Woden's Day (Mercury) is Wednesday; Thor's day (Jupiter) is Thursday; Freya's day (Venus) is Friday; and Saturn's day is Saturday, the Sabbath.
This is where our names for the days of the week came from. Sunday is an important one to note: it has been suggested that Helios is where we derive the word "holy." As an example, "Holy Bible" would translate into "Sun Book" or Hello Biblio.
Making the forbidden fruit an apple is odd because today we tell children that an apple a day will keep the doctor away; apples are good for you. Why would the Church frighten people away from eating apples? The apple was chosen because apples are symbolically a perfect tit for the actual forbidden fruit. Apples are red and they tire the fruit of a tree. The Amanita muscaria is also red and it, too, is the fruiting body of the tree. Some apples even have white spots on them just like the A. muscaria mushroom does. When a be is taken out of the apple, we see the same white inside that is seen when one finds an A. muscaria with a bite taken out of it. An apple is the safe, alchemical representation of the actual fruit of thc Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil without giving away the actual knowledge of the fruit itself.

Adam and Eve came from Eden. Eden is defined as "pleasure," "pleasant," "delicate," or "delight."'" These definitions seem to apply just as well for emotions as they do for a place (or thing). However, both Strong's and the Oxford English Dictionary also define Eden as "Paradise," which Strong's reveals as a "forest," or "orchard" A forest is certainly where the Amanita grow. The association to the mushroom experience may explain the emotive definitions for Eden:
3857: paradeisos par-ad'-i-sos of Oriental origin (compare 6508); a park, i.e. (specially), an_Eden. (place of future happiness, "paradise"):--paradise. 6508: pardes par-dace' Of foreign origin; a park: -forest orchard. [underline, bold—ours] -
Further down the microcosmic ladder, the egg is symbolized by the early stages of the mushroom's growth."' Today, most people no longer use these mushrooms in their ceremonies, but Christians still symbolize it with their ritual of sending children on an Easter egg hunt in the morning, symbolic of the shaman's children gathering the colored mushrooms before the sun waxes hot. The spring feast and intoxicating celebration in the evening (symbolic of the shaman consuming the intoxicating mushrooms) would complete their ritual, a ritual that is practiced to this very day.
