The Creation of the Universe
In the beginning, there was nothing but a formless void and thick darkness stretching to infinity.
​
And in that primal void, an enormous black egg aroused. Chaos was the Egg, opposites perfectly mingled. It was: cold and heat, wet and dry, passive and active, man and woman, black and white at the same time.
And it was because they were perfectly mingled that the universe could not yet be.
For untold ages, it floated unchanging in the Void.
And then within the Egg, a seed came to be. And from that seed, the tree known as Axis Mundi was formed. The primordial tree slowly grew and grew until the Egg became too cramped for it.
Finally, the Tree grew so big and mighty that the Egg couldn’t endure it’s enormous power and broke into two.
​
The top half was lighter and flew up to become the heavens (tree’s crochet) and the heavier bottom half sunk down to become the underworld (tree’s roots).
And from Chaos, all opposites were separated in two and new materials and life were fashioned. The Universe was born.
