Paranormally Disenchanted
Eggs!? They aren't bowls of derrieres? The demon poking the mushroom in there seems a little more acceptable now.

The bowls are filled with "Cheese" and the "Devil" is "tainting/poisoning" it.
The cheese is being carried by the child in the wombs ancestors.
My understanding of the picture is that: it depicts the process of the formation of a persons personality or character. How good, kind, bad or mean etc they are.
The picture was created by or under the close supervision of "Saint Hildegard von Bingen" (an eleventh century nun, who lived in Germany. She had over the course of her life a series of visions, and wrote several books about them: including "Liber Scivias" from which the image is taken.
The image seen in isolation, that is to say without the accompanying text is open to all sorts of "interpretations" limited only by the "interpreters" imagination, however Saint Hildergard wrote a detailed explanation of what the image depicts. here is a poorly translated version (I used google translate):
"AND I SAW THAT: a over sized , bright splendor, the as flared up in countless eyes and its four angles by the four Sky areas taught . He pointed to a mystery of sublime Creator , which is now in a big mystery to me was known .Amidst this splendor appeared another splendor, equal to the Dawn in purple flashes bright .Now I looked at die earth and saw people who milk in Pottery were wearing. From this they were preparing cheese. apart the Milk was fat . It was strong cheese. Other milk was thin, it congealed bland cheese. Was the last of the milk mixed with corruption, the resulting formed cheese were bitter.At the same time I saw a woman a full shape people in its bosom wore".
the following is probably more accurate:
"
The heavenly voice next explains the vision itself, which
represents the infusion of the soul into the embryo in its
mother's womb. Conception and pregnancy are described
by means of the ancient folk analogy of milk curdling into
cheese; the quality of the milk or semen determines the
strong, weak or bitter character of the product. This vision
is illustrated in the left side of the miniature, which shows
men and women-the ancestors of the unborn child-carrying
bowls of cheese, into which a devil insinuates corruption.*
