According to the note book its said that Paradiso only accepts male warriors to use its powers, and Inferno only allows females to use its powers as well.

I think this is based on Judao Christian mythology, where it is believed that females are inherently sinners by nature. Also take the eye thing into account.

Lumens have the Right Eye, and Umbra have the Left Eye. This could easily take from the Hands of God stance. The right hand being related to the holy spirit, and the left being related to devil. That's why in a lot of mythology, demons and monsters are usually depicted using their left hand in almost everything they do. In the early 1900's, and some even today, Christians believe that people who are left handed were some how connected to the devil.

again, bringing this back to the Judao christian belief that females are innately sinful by nature, it would make sense if you apply this to the Umbra and Lumen.


 * Men are inherently holy, intelligent, and blessed beings who are supported by the Right side; God.
 * Women are inherently sinners, liars, and cursed beings who are supported by the left side; Satan.

And so far, when it comes to tying religious mythology to the series, they've been done fairly well in terms of how the angels and demons are represented.

But that's all just speculation on my part in terms of tying real world religious belief to the Lumen and Umbra. It would make sense given what we know about the series so far, but I could very well be wrong.
