Sacred Symbol Uses

  We are blessed with our ability to attain deep understanding from simply looking at symbols and geometric configurations. Through the ages, sacred symbols have been used to convey and merge intangible and supernatural rays of truth into single graphic images that take us to a point of knowing without using our cognitive skills. We just know what we are being shown. A single viewing of a symbol can transform consciousness, behaviors, understanding, and wellbeing. We are forever changed by the symbols we gaze upon.



Our very first symbol collection featured the main symbols used in prominent wisdom traditions. As we learned more about what people want to use in their enrichment practices, we modified our original collection to include some versions of symbols that honor the Sacred Feminine with more artistic execution. Above are our two collections of symbols, the smaller, universal collection, and the larger, sacred feminine orientation. Each represents a form of love... love of earth, water, equality, birth, eternity, belief, and women's spiritual power.

Most sacred symbols  represent ancient spiritual lineages that were established in past ages of enlightenment. Using any size Sacred Symbol brings our attention to the unspoken communication that helps bring mystical significance to present times. They convey a broader principle than words can explain. When you use a symbol on your water, the resonance of that broad concept influences all molecules to align with the principles and become a carrier of that power. These religious symbols come from many wisdom traditions and honor the highest manifestations possible. Use them with great humility, for they carry profound messages from our ancestors.

Some of the symbols cross over and can be used with more than one wisdom tradition. Using them on your water glass or drink bottle reminds you of your ancient connections to earth and life wisdom. Use the definitions that fit your desires. Use one symbol or many at the same time.
