LIEBFRAUENKIRCHE
The Gem of Bamberg |
|
Green Men scattered on the outside of the Mother sanctuary |

Inside the Virgin with Child |

The Liebfrauenkirche of
Bamberg is a treasure. It shows the original relationship of the Great Mother and Her
Son/Lovers. Spiritually it means, that the Divine Light is continuously born out of
Darkness (Emptiness). While inside the altar is totally occupied by a very mythical Virgin
and Child, the ambulatorium and the outer wall are covered with many most magnificent
Green Men (E.g. see also Goslar, Königslutter, Frankenberg). They are Her guardians.
Unfortunately, most of the inside of the church has been "barockisized". An
attempt to remove the traces of a much more meaningful, but "dangerous" past? We
can only guess |

Die Leere beinhaltet alle
Formen. Was man hier sieht, bezieht sich darauf. Das Göttliche hat viele Gesichter, so
könnten wir es auch ausdrucken. Die Grüne Männer symbolisieren das Leben in seiner
Totalität. Theologisch ausgedrückt: wir alle sind die "Einiggeborene Söhne und
Töchter" des Letztendlichen.
Alleluia! |

This mixture of devotion,
medieval faces and incredible beautiful art moves me time and again. Moreover, I am sure
they have reconciled me with my manhood as well. A manhood, that was for some time
dominated by the "ugly white man" syndrome. Although loving my body as
"gift of God" and nurturing it with my "feeling awareness" in those
times the social aspect of my manhood had nothing to be proud of. With the re-discovery of
the Green Men this all changed completely. Looking at them I look at myself, feeling the
primordial energy flowing within me. Green Men give Western men their true identity back!
Joy, gratitude! |
