Symbols...
These are the symbols I’ve chosen to represent the subtle, complex forms of evil I have uncovered. Each one reflects a distortion of what was once good, echoing the moment humanity first stepped away from the Creator’s truth.
🍫 Chocolate
Chocolate is often used to symbolize indulgence, pleasure, and temptation. It represents self-reward, instant gratification, and emotional comfort—seemingly harmless, even delightful. But beneath the surface lies a lure: a craving that promises satisfaction, yet never truly satisfies.
This is the apple that turned into chaos—ushering in fear and the shadow of death.
💄 Lipstick
At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, red lipstick was viewed in Puritan and patriarchal societies as a mark of impropriety—used by actresses and those outside the bounds of what was considered “decent.” Over time, it became a symbol of allure, power, and sometimes, deception.
This is the allure of the serpent—inviting us to believe a lie dressed as beauty.
💋 Kiss
In Scripture, the kiss becomes a symbol of betrayal. Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane—a moment where intimacy was weaponized and trust was shattered.
This is the hierarchical ploy—the twist n the Garden that turned love into a battleground.
👣 Footsteps
Footsteps, both literal and symbolic, often represent divine guidance, a spiritual journey, or the legacy of those who have gone before. But in Eden, the sound of footsteps meant something different. Adam and Eve hid when they heard God’s steps—choosing shame over relationship with their Creator....
This is the hiding from God—a manifestation of the broken bond and a signal of allegiance to another leader.
Each of these represents not just evil, but the choices and seductions that drew humanity away from truth. Evil rarely appears as a monster—it shows up as fear, temptation, pleasure, and misdirected footsteps.
“Man only becomes independent of this physical world when he learns to consider the objects around him as symbols. He must, for this reason, seek to acquire a moral relationship to them.”
— Rudolf Steiner
