the magical garden has its origins in adam and eve, the first temptation…………. of desire, longing, and a need for completion, more more more……..where does it end is the wondering question…………of serpants and fruit

Well I tell you where it ended: the serpent’s head is cut off for good (all of its hydra heads…finally!) and the ‘original couple’ is *not* thrown in despair. Eve, though tempted (God knows why), did *not* eat the apple and all’s well that ends well:). Fini.
