The most influential symbols in human history. Magic symbols and their meaning

I created this section because I did not find information about signs in RuNet. I want there to be information about different symbols used both in religion, magic - and in everyday life.

On at the moment There’s not a lot of information, but I’ll try to add new signs to the section in the future. For now, I posted only those that caught my eye and were interesting. If you want to add something or report something interesting information, thereby helping me, I will be very glad.

A person thinks and expresses his thoughts in different ways. An artist on canvas, a poet in the form of a poem, a musician in the form of music. Sometimes, in order to preserve his spiritual wealth, a person uses signs. There are many signs, they can be individual, or they can be general, beautiful and incomprehensible... In a word, all kinds.

Signs protect KNOWLEDGE, and are often used as amulets and as guides of higher powers.

No matter how trite it sounds, the main amulet is the cross. The cross is the most ancient and effective sign. However, in lately it became associated with Christianity.

It happens that historical context is added to the true meaning of a sign. Take, for example, the sign of Shiva, which, at the moment, cannot be represented by the majority as ancient sign, as it is associated with fascism and Hitler's Germany. And the Star of David almost always carries with it the image of Jews and Israel.

The main problem is to realize the real meaning of the signs, cutting off the historical context. And then, everyone will decide which element is suitable and which is not.

My main task is to explore the signs used in magic and religion and briefly introduce you to them.

Signs of the Japanese religion MAHIKARI

I found these signs on one of the European sites. I found out that both of these signs are in a medallion called an omitama. They are written on yellow paper. Both mean the same thing - the image of God SU (supreme god).

1. Image inside the 1st level medallion.

2. Image inside the 3rd level medallion.

The medallions themselves look like this:

With the help of these medallions, a person belonging to the Mahikari has the ability to give divine light to people. That is, the medallion is, in fact, an energy transformer. Light comes from the highest Spiritual (Divine) dimension and is initially designed to purify the spiritual (primary) aspect of all things, incl. our soul-spirit. And the toxins melt and come out as a result, since by cleaning the source, the mouth will also be cleansed. Therefore, the Light eliminates spiritual impurities accumulated over many past lives.

Light is supplied to the energy points of the body in 2 stages:

1. Light on the 8th point (ajnachakra or 3rd eye).

2. Light to all other points (or chakras)

I have been asked more than once what this symbol means, which I use as a logo. . About eleven years ago it dawned on me that the legendary chinese emperor Huang Di developed a binary-eight system of classification of levels of reality according to the Yang-Yin relationship, today known as Boga. And then I thought: “What if we generalize Boga to hexadecimal, etc. number systems, surely this will give a more detailed classification?

But the form of representation proposed by Huang Di is not very suitable for this purpose (trigrams around Bogua). Then I decided to create a ring for each bit and simply fill it with 0 in one color and 1 in the other. I made a program that visualizes this. There were many different options on this topic. I chose the first one. In general, this is a modern generalized form of Boga and at the same time a classification of levels of reality (or rather unreality) in Samsara.

The meaning seems quite deep to me and I place this Logo on all my developments (it practically became mine). This logo was also on the seal of my company “Eidos” (in the center). I saw a very similar one in one newspaper - it was a layout diagram of an ancient Indian city (or rather a diagram of power lines of an artificial magnetic field in this city, which the layout corresponded to. And at first I thought that I came up with it myself. Or maybe I just remembered it? Although everyone knows that 2x2=4 even without the memory of reincarnation or telepathy.

Star of Solomon

A. The Jews have the star of Solomon (or David) - a six-pointed star built from two triangles included in each other. The upper triangle - pointing down, means the descent of the Spirit to Earth - involution. The lower one - with the tip up - the rise of the Earth or matter to the Spirit. In the middle - the interaction of evil and good forces, the ends of the star are “representatives” of light and dark forces in opposite kingdoms, like diplomatic missions in states.

B. This is a sign of harmony - two equilateral triangles. For Hindus, this sign denotes air and the heart chakra, which is located exactly in the middle relative to the others and in which energy directed upward meets energy directed downward. But the most important thing is that thin body a person fits into a figure consisting of two equilateral tetrahedrons, i.e. if you imagine the Star of David in three-dimensional form. This energetic figure is called Merkabah, which means chariot in Hebrew. This is a means of transporting a person to other dimensions.

More information about this sign can be found on the English-language website of Drunvalo Melchizedek - The ancient secret of the flower of life http://www.floweroflife.com is sacred geometry ( detailed description of the universe from the point of view of geometry).

Pyramid with the 3rd eye at the top.

This picture can be found everywhere. Indeed, there is power in the pyramid. There are many hypotheses about why the pyramids were built, but the fact remains that they really emit torsion fields, which can be formed due to a certain curvature of space. Undoubtedly, this sign can also characterize telepathic abilities, an element of meditation, some source of knowledge and opportunities.

Pentagram.

The most common sign in the occult and simply in magic circles. This sign is almost always associated with Satanism and the devil himself, but this is not entirely true. This sign is protective. For example, if the left corner of the star is open, then it is considered that evil spirits and accumulates there. That is why, in all films, the devil’s lair is sealed with this very sign.

In general, the pentagram is a fairly effective sign and proven by history. It is applicable to many situations, especially good for defense.

Circle

This sign is the simplest and most common. Like the pentagram, the circle has protective properties, which is what it is used for. It is believed that evil spirits cannot overcome the boundaries of the circle.

There is a theory that the history of the development of all things goes in a circle. There is also the concept of the circle of light, which is the divine part of existence and exists on the astral plane. A circle can represent nature as such. In nature, wavy lines predominate rather than regular geometric ones. Therefore, it is believed that wavy lines are natural, and clearly geometric lines are human, that is, those that a person brings into the world around him.

People wearing this talisman go through life without knowing obstacles and disappointments. Success awaits in all matters, especially when it comes to creativity.

In China, this sign is often presented with an arrangement of flowers, or placed in the corner of the family "Zhen" (Feng Shui Geomancy) in the house in order to strengthen relationships and their auspiciousness. Gifted to a loved one is proof of strong friendship and love.

Recently, people are increasingly using the teachings of Feng Shui to attract what they want. Thanks to the usual...

According to ancient teaching Feng Shui, you can achieve happiness in life if you correctly use the symbols of wealth and...

Magic signs, like symbols, surround us everywhere and this is a fact. You may deny them, not know the meaning, or simply not take them seriously. Regardless of your desire, magical symbolism can influence not only the future of a person, but also the fate of nations... Pathetic? But this is true. However, we will look at this in other articles. Let me give you a little background.

History of magical symbols and their meaning

Since ancient times, our ancestors have used this type of art as graphics. It manifested itself in all aspects of life, including the occult, shamanism and other esoteric sciences. How exactly? Features on stones, wavy lines, an eye in a pyramid - these are just a small part of all the symbols that have retained their mysterious meaning to this day. The people of antiquity may not have known the subtle nuances, deep details of the occult or esotericism, but their legacy has reached our times. There are even a whole science which is called semiotics. She studies the meaning of signs and symbols.

In our age, most people, if they pay attention to signs, certainly do not have a historical component. Serious error- many symbols are distorted, changed in their own way. A striking example: the sign of Shiva, the Sun and Kolovrat, which, out of ignorance, the majority considers to be the focus of evil, a sign of fascists and generally a negative symbol. In my opinion, Hitler’s idea to distort the powerful, bright egregor of this sign worked. However, the result for Hitler was disastrous. But I've deviated a little from the topic.

Magic symbols are divided into many types, it is impossible to list them all. Let's look at the symbolism of such cultures as:

Celts.
Incas, Mayans, Aztecs.
Scandinavians and Germans.
Egyptians.

Magic signs of the Celts and their characteristics

The most famous and popular - Celtic cross or Celtic cross. The Christian cross is popular among many religions and is an example of this. It received this name because it was most revered by the Celts. The Celtic cross has quite a few meanings, but the most common are two.

The first is pagan: a symbol of air, earth, water and sun in unity, in cyclicity.
The second is Christian: the circle inside the cross symbolizes the solar deity, and the cross is a symbol of Christianity.

closed in a circle
open
“Eye of the Dragon”

The triskele is interpreted as a symbol of balance with nature. Each of the spheres: fire, air and water are in balance and balance with each other. Therefore, the owner of this amulet receives peace, protection and energy in life. By the way, pay attention to the logo Chrome browser, does not remind you of anything?

The Celtic love cross is interpreted very simply - the unification of two principles: feminine and masculine into one system, which is closed and fused together.

But I can tell you more about this magical symbol below, in the form of a labyrinth. So, in front of you, or simply a labyrinth. The Celts attached many meanings to this sign. Firstly, protection from negative forces, and secondly, a way to immerse yourself in meditation or trance.

It is believed that this symbol is most effective when using special stones: moon and snake. Moon rocks are used only at night, and snake ones - during the day. The Celts took flat stones and drew the symbolism of the labyrinth on it. If a person wants to achieve meditation, he needs to run his finger over the outlines and focus his consciousness on what is necessary.

A few more magical symbols and their meaning

Dragon, in Celtic culture, like many other cultures, has a privileged position. He is considered the lord of secret knowledge, and only a small number of people have a Celtic dragon tattoo or amulet that reaches its full potential. The main features of this sign can be called: strength, material well-being, power, courage and wisdom. Hmm, however, a dragon has many qualities, it’s even surprising why? By the way, I will be glad to hear your thoughts on this issue in the comments.

Among the Celts, oak was considered a sacred tree that symbolized strength, endurance and wisdom. This symbol bears an honorary name.

Common among magicians because it is believed to have the ability to catalyze (accelerate) internal energy person.

Finally, the last Celtic symbol we will look at. As you probably already guessed, this is a butterfly. Despite the simple design, the butterfly, among the Celts, is a strong magical sign.

Its meaning is that it brings transformation, rebirth, renewal. Many Celtic beliefs say that the butterfly is the seat of the soul, which will soon be reincarnated. Also some occult meaning acquired a meeting with a butterfly at night - the traveler faces imminent death. Although, it is worth noting that the Celts were not afraid of death, so such interpretations are not surprising. I hope you are not afraid either. In this part, we examined in detail only magical symbols and their meaning in Celtic culture. I’ll try to be less eloquent in other parts and provide more information. So, let me remind you that according to our plan, we still have the following cultures: Incas, Mayans, Aztecs, Egyptians, Scandinavians and Germans. Was this information interesting for you?
