Symbols - What does heaven look like
Nuts
Nuts share their symbolism with fruit.
All fruit where it has a stone in the centre, a fleshy layer and a skin is an alternative symbol for the Egg. It can also be an alternative symbol for the Atom because Atom and Egg are mirrors of each other.
The skin represents the Earth layer.
The kernel represents the Aether layer.
The soft fleshy part represents the combined water, air and fire levels.
Thus for example the Horse chestnut and the ‘conker’ is frequently used in symbolic tales because it so very closely matches the Egg – it even has little cones around its outer rim [the prickles].
