Jonathan Pageau | Left Hand / Right Hand Symbolism @JonathanPageau | Uploaded September 2022 | Updated October 2024, 3 hours ago.
In this video I discuss the symbolism of the left hand and right hand that’s often mentioned in Scripture. Through exploring iconography and other representations of opposites inside and outside of Christianity, we can discover the meaning and role of these basic opposites, how they can feed each other and mysteriously flip. As I mention in my discussion, this is more like poetry, an intuition rather than a system.
