As the apostles dance around
Jesus, He sings a song
and they chant Amen after every line:
"Grace
danceth. I would pipe; dance ye all.
Amen . . .
The number Twelve danceth on
high. Amen.
The Whole on high hath part
in our dancing.
Amen."
. . . (Verse 95)
What
is the significance of the twelve dancing around
the One? Perhaps the most basic mythological
symbol
for that which revolves
around our axial tree is the
image of the Wheel of Life, again
a reflection of the
endless cycle of created manifestation. One of the most
common representatives of the Wheel
of Life is the
zodiac, with its twelve constellations.
Again, twelve
