The symbolic significance of the sea corresponds to that of the ‘Lower
Ocean’—the waters in flux, the transitional and mediating agent between the nonformal (air and gases) and the formal (earth and solids) and, by analogy, between
life and death. The waters of the oceans are thus seen not only as the source of life
but also as its goal. ‘To return to the sea’ is ‘to return to the mother’, that is, to die.

All things that flow and grow were regarded in early religions as a symbol
of life: fire represented the vital craving for nourishment, water was chosen for its
fertilizing powers, plants because of their verdure in spring-time. Now, all—or
very nearly all—symbols of life are also symbolic of death. Media vita in morte
sumus, observed the mediaeval monk, to which modern science has replied La vie
c’est la mort (Claude Bernard). Thus, fire is the destroyer, while water in its
various forms signifies dissolution, as suggested in the Psalms. In legend and
folklore, the Origin of life—or the source of the renewal of the life forces—takes
the form of caves and caverns where wondrous torrents and springs well up (38).

This symbolic animal appears as an attribute of Saturn, in his capacity as
the ‘second sun’. It is always on heat, and hated by Isis (31). The significance of
the mock crucifix, with an ass’s head, from the Palatine, must be related to the
equation of Yahve with Saturn (31), although it may be that it is related to the
jester-symbol. In connexion with the latter, the ass’s head, frequently found in
mediaeval emblems, marks and signs, often stands for humility, patience and
courage. Sometimes there is a wheel or a solar symbol between the ass’s ears. This
symbol, also found on the heads of oxen, always denotes that the animal is a
sacrificial victim (4). But the symbolism of the ass involves still further complexities: Jung defines it as daemon triunus—a chthonian trinity which in Latin alchemy was depicted as a three-headed monster, one head representing mercury,
the second salt and the third sulphur, or, in short, the three material principles of
matter (32). In Chaldaea, the goddess of death is depicted kneeling on an ass
which is being ferried across the River of Hell in a boat. In dreams, the ass,
especially when it appears invested with a solemn and ritual aspect, is usually a
messenger of death or appears in connexion with a death, as destroyer of a lifespan.
