Who is the dragon? The dragon is Lucifer, the carrier of the light. But Lucifer is not a person. Lucifer is an energy, it is a force that grants the sexual impulse, strength, erection to the man, and the humidity to the woman, in order to perform the sexual alchemical work. Lucifer (luce-fer] means “bearer of fire.” That the dragon breathes fire from its mouth? Yes it does! This is why the sephirah Geburah, the Spiritual Soul, is always represented by the woman, because her yoni, the sexual organ of the woman like a volcano in Malkuth breathes out the blood, the fire of Geburah; thus, only the man with his lance, his phallus, can pierce the dragon and defeat Lucifer. Sadly, most of the knights that enter the woman are defeated by the fire of the dragon, since they do not understand that the feminine yoni is the aspect that represents the dragon’s mouth. This is why the dragon, in the form of a serpent, talked to Eve in the Garden of Eden – עדן means voluptuousness, bliss- which is what we experience in the sexual act.
“Now the serpent [the dragon מרשעת] was more subtle than any beast of the field which Jehovah Elohim had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath Elohim said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden? And the woman said unto the serpent [the dragon], We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: But of the fruit of the tree [the sexual fire] which is in the midst of the garden, Elohim hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
“And the serpent [the dragon מרשעת] said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For Elohim does know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as Elohim, knowing good and evil.” – Genesis 3: 1-5
Indeed, the tree of sex, of knowledge of good and evil, will give us knowledge, wisdom, if we defeat the dragon. But Adam did not defeat Eve’s dragon. Adam fell at the feet of Eve’s dragon.
And the wicked woman [the dragon מרשעת] withholds their light, thus their lofty arm [Ida] is broken. – Job 38: 15
