Symbols - What does heaven look like
Wool
If we are sheep then symbolically we will have wool!
Symbolically it means a person with spiritual energy pouring forth in great abundance. As sexual energy was absolutely key to many forms of spiritual experience this may well be what is being symbolically described - the build up of sexual energy ready for the final push [so to speak] via sex magick or sexual stimulation.
Even if this is not what is being described, then the figure is charged with a great deal of spiritual energy - the heat of the mystic.
