Sorry, just trying to put thoughts down before I lose them. Mary Magdalene holding a skull could represent Mary being John (whose head was cut off).
Mary shares her name with Jesus' mother Mary and John is said to be a "voice in the wilderness" with the wilderness representing Mother Earth.
So the voice in the wilderness…is that small intuitive voice calling you back to God or to the knowledge of God through the Spirit, and like you said “John the Baptist” represents the Father/Spirit…which is why he is that “voice in the wilderness”…so that makes some sense…IMO
Did I get that right…? lol
That would mean john the Baptist is Jesus higher self i.e. God the Father, while Mary represents the Feminine aspect of Jesus God self too. And in spiritual terms Gods aspects give birth to the Son, any Son, not just Jesus.
What do you know about the Rosicrucianism, specifically the Rose and Cross symbol. It’s seems to me that the cross Represents Jesus/God while the Rose represents Mary the feminine aspect of God. They may also have other coded meanings as well…

The Spirit is compared to both water and wind in the bible, water being feminine and wind being masculine, the Spirit is androgynous in that way. When wind meets water waves are created, animation occurs. Jesus or the Son is that animation, it is life, and as we both know Jesus referred to himself as "the life and light of men".

Exactly, I'm glad we're on the same page here!
John baptizing Jesus was the Spirit lowering itself into the feminine waters (womb, body) and out comes life, a.k.a. Jesus. I believe that baptism is a form of sexual innuendo in a way with it symbolizing the divine aspect of conception and child birth. It also represents the spiritual rebirth we must go through in order to find God within us.
The Holy Spirit is what happens in-between when both Father and Son Spirits meet together. The Holy spirit isn’t an actual separate thing that exists though IMO, if that makes sense. But it has been given labels such as Feminine, to help describe it because of course Women give birth to Sons/Daughters etc…

The Rosy Cross could symbolize this, though the Father would be on the right (right hand of God) and the Son on the left, the rose or feminine being in the center. The Son is the rebellious left, God the Father is the peaceful right (Mary means rebellious and Salome [another Mary from the gospels] means piece btw).
I wasn’t aware of Salome meaning “piece”, so thanks for that…

And thank you for pointing out the Mother is in the middle not the Son, I've been picturing it as the Son in the middle, your explanation makes a lot of sense in my opinion. I'm enjoying the discussion brother, even if it is a bit off-topic.
Matthew 23:30-32
And you say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our ancestors, we would not have taken part with them in shedding the blood of the prophets.’ So you testify against yourselves that you are the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. Go ahead, then, and complete what your ancestors started!
Matthew 23:33-34
“You snakes! You brood of vipers! How will you escape being condemned to hell? Therefore I am sending you prophets and sages and teachers. Some of them you will kill and crucify; others you will flog in your synagogues and pursue from town to town.
