"According to tradition, Orions belt was emlamatic of his "staff", by which was meant his phallus. Jacobs ladder, another important symbol for Kabbalists, is also connected with the Tree of Life and therefore Orion. All this makes sense when it is realized that Orion is the star form of Adam... the first father of all humanity, as he was before the Fall... That the figure of Orion fitted so closely with the concept of the cosmic Adam came a no great surprise."
