Earth and Sky: The Divided House of the Seekers
"And God made the firmament and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament. And it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, a second day. " -Genesis 1 : 7-8 Ok, This is a post sort of conitinuing that on the "order of the seeker." I have been listening to the point in book 5 where Harry and Cho kiss and Hermione's explanation of Cho's emotional state to Harry and Ron (loved the part where Harry wonders if mamybe Cho was crying because he is a bad kisser and Hermione says of course not, and Ron flares up and asks how she would know that.) This connects with Harry's thoughts on Neville in book 4, about how it is Voldy who has orphaned them all and broken up all these families. Here is another house and family that Voldy broke, but before it even had the chance to form, and that is the love of Cedric and Cho. And this is sort of my thought on why Cho is so broken up about Cedric's death, why she is so confused and hurt by it and seeks out Harry. As a member of House Hufflepuff Cedric is earth; and as a member of House Ravenclaw Cho is air or sky. These two divide the waters above and the waters below, and their unification in love/marriage would be a pathway to a communion between those two waters (not necessarily a union that loses distinction, but one of harmony.) But that path is cut off by Voldy killing Cedric. These two seekers are thwarted from finding the golden snitch of union that could begin to be a path to the communion that would make the water element whole and healthy. This is not to say that the separation of the waters is unhealthy, at least as it occurs in creation before the Fall. It simply distinguishes the waters. Like I said, "reunification" would not undo this distinction, but make it full healthy. And taht is what the Fall, in the form of Voldy as the serpent, cut short. Voldy wants the water element un-whole and unhealthy,all for himself and at his own disposal and whims. I'll simply end by noting that in being cut off, Cedric does not participate in the cutting off the way Adam participated in the fall. These things, as concern Cedric and Cho, are not the fall itself but the effects of the fall. Cedric did not sin ... he was murdered. |
