GATE - Shares the symbolism of the threshold as entrance; communication; entry into a new life; communication between one world and another, between the living and the dead. It is also the protective, sheltering aspect of the Great Mother. In Christianity the Virgin Mary is the Gate of Heaven. Gates and portals are usually guarded by the symbolic animals such as lions, dragons, bulls, dogs or fabulous beasts. At the gates of the House of Osiris a goddess keeps each gate, whose name has to be known. The Gates of the East & West are the doors of the World Temple through which the sun passes morning and night. The “strait gate” is the central point of communication between the lower and higher; the passage, in “spiritual poverty” for initiates or at death, leading to new life. Like the eye of the needle, it symbolizes the spacelessness of the soul in passing through. The gate is associated with wisdom. kings sat in judgment at gates, probably as sacred places of divine power.
