![]() So valued the garden turned for Hera who sent the hundred headed dragon, Ladón. This garden had a tree that produced golden apples that provided eternal youth.The tree had been a wedding gift from the goddess Gaia (Earth) to Hera, who commissioned the Hesperides, three nymphs of the West (Hesperetusta, Egle and Eritia) to take care of the garden. It describes a beautiful garden belonging to the goddess Hera, located in the westernmost point of the Greek world, probably in the Atlas mountain range or in a mythical island. Engrossed by his thoughts, the hero decides his fate, awaiting a decision that springs from within himself and restoring the old unity between heaven and earth, spirit and flesh, soul and body.A story based on Greek mythology. Those capable of taking woman as she is, with the certainty and kindness she requires, will defeat the dragon and aspire to be kings in the creation of her world, vehicles of her generating strength, expressions of the divine. Women represent the entirety of what can be known, guide in the ascent to the sublime summit of the sensory adventure. The divine energy of the goddess is spilled in this garden where there are echoes of her old voice: “I am the one who embellishes the male for the female I am the one who embellishes the female for the male.” In the sacred act of sexuality, joy and life are brought to the world and the sorrowful life of man is brought closer to the divine and joyful existence of the Goddess. The wheel spins in imperturbable and eternal return. Just as after darkness must come light, after death must come rebirth. As incarnations of the moon they carry the promise of the cycle of birth and bloom, decadence and death, in order to be reborn as something infinite. They belong to an earlier age, a golden one. They are bodies inhabited by the goddess, receptacles of life and death, virgins and mothers, mistresses of heaven and earth, of animals and plants, bearers of wisdom. The women in this garden are not the daughters of Eve, heirs to the original transgression which separated flesh from spirit they are emanations of Ishtar or Inanna. There is no anguish, grief or sorrow in the continuous spin that governs and rules over them but an inevitably accepted fate which is certain, soothing, happy. Their lives move on gently ruled by the eternal wheel that, without fail, governs the world and its spheres. The human flesh of the gods and the worldly spirit of the goddesses inhabit the garden, enjoying their gifts. Everything is shaped into the same reality under the light of the apples. Matter has become flesh and, in turn, flesh has become spirit or, perhaps, the spirit, now flesh, has turned into matter. Under the bright light of the apples, the eternal revelation of flesh as spirit and spirit as flesh is underway. A hidden place inhabited by gods in immortal, earthly, carnal forms. ![]() A Garden on the edge of the world, harbouring the sacred tree of golden apples, fruit of the gods, guarded by the terrible dragon. ![]() The Garden of the Hesperides, a delightful place inhabiting the abyss where dreams are kept, never forgotten, forever emerging through some crack of conscience, defeating oblivion.
