The Lingam

LINGAM OF CHOKMAH

Onward, Backward, IO Pan! IO Pan!
Procreative might stands before me.
This is the primal creation! My quest is done!
So then why does The Fool in me laugh at my folly?
And say, "Discernment is two, and not One."

The tool for Chokmah is the lingam and while Binah is blatantly female, the Chokmah must be blatantly masculine. This piece was forged entirely from aluminum and colored the Color Scale of Chokmah, greys and blues. Because of its male association, I chose the traditional Hindu lingam-yoni design which emulated the supreme symbol of vital principle, representing male and female genitalia in conjunction. A sterling silver ring was forged to fit around the shaft as a symbolic wedding ring for the union of lingam and yonic forces.
