520 |a Throughout the centuries, western Christian tradition has promoted negative attitude towards sexuality and eroticism. There always has been dualism in connection to human life: on the one hand, there are sinful passions and sexual desires; on the other hand, there is the ideal of sainthood and chastity. Therefore, it is so surprising to find erotic symbols and metaphors in the language of the mystics. Bridal symbolism which depicts the soul as the bride and God as the beloved is common in the works of many mystics. Sometimes even transgendered images appear: female mystics choose male roles and depict themselves as male, and vice versa. Besides, mystics also use symbols of marriage bed and sexual intercourse to depict the mystical union between the soul and God. Erotic symbolism is widespread, and such mystics as Bernard of Claivaux, beguines, Theresa of Ávila, John of the Cross, and Thérèse of Lisieux, to name but a few, use highly provocative and controversial symbols.
