Quote:Anton, think of it the other way. If you want to draw something in the root to remind you that this plant is used to encourage celibacy, what do you draw?
That's a tricky question. But I'm not sure that I would draw monks in the first place. Most probably, I would draw something that would illustrate the concept in general, like maybe a man estranging himself from a woman, or perhaps some well-known symbol of celibacy. I would be unlikely to draw two persons of the same sex to illustrate celibacy.
That celibacy was expected from monks does not mean that celibacy is the only thing remarkable about monks. In fact, the essence of the monk is that he estranges from the world in order to serve God. The oath of celibacy is not the only oath of a monk.
Why two heads?
My ideas:
1) decorative symmetry
2) twins
3) some underlying "story" about two persons
Any more ideas?
