23 demonstrated by the women of the Aurès region of Algeria. Be this as it may, the
sexual symbolism of the earring French: boucle agrees with the etymology of its Latin source, its literal meaning being “little mouth” pp. 330-331.
b. Eyes
In The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols 1996, it is only natural that the eye, the organ of visual perception, should almost universally be taken as a
symbol of intellectual perception. The human eye is regarded as a symbol of knowledge and of supernatural perception; it is sometimes endowed with
surprising qualities. During sexual intercourse “the wife is joined to her husband through her eyes as well as through her sexual organs.”
Throughout Ancient Egyptian tradition, the eye retained its solar, fiery nature, as a source of light, knowledge and fertility. The Bambara say that “sight
is desire; the eye is the wish” and, lastly, that “a man’s world” is “his eye”. Also, metaphorically, the eye is able to correspond to notions of beauty, of the world, of
the universe or of life ibid. pp. 362-366.
c. Hair
Hair was believed to preserve an intimate connection with its owner even when it ceased to be part of him or of her The Penguin Dictionary of Symbols,
1996. Hair is one of woman’s weapons and therefore the fact of its being concealed or displayed, plaited or hanging loose, is often the sign of a woman’s
availability, surrender or modesty. The sense of sexual provocativeness connected with a woman’s hair is also behind the Christian tradition that a woman may not
enter the church bareheaded pp. 459-463.

24 Consider the words of Paul: “Every man who prays or prophesies with his
head covered dishonours his head. But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonours her head—it is the same as having her head
shaved. For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head
shaved, then she should cover her head” Holy Bible, 1 Corinthians. 11. 4-6. “Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her
head uncovered? Does not a very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For
long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God” Holy Bible, 1
Corinthians. 11. 13-16. Women are covering their hair to show their good manners and obeying
their husbands for the sake of their dignity. The cap means that women must be honoured and respected, as women must. If women do not covering their hair,
they do not have dignity and men do not respect them because they seem show off their selves in public. It is shameful. Cap is a tool to show women’s dignity and
glory as God has created them. Once again, Paul stresses that women must cover their hair in public as a symbol of “authority” on their head. 1 Corinthians. 11
