Create a Healthy, Peaceful, Balanced Home with These Mystic Symbols
Symbols can act in two ways:
First, they can be used to focus and project your own personal energy. Second, a symbol can function as a magnifier and transmitter, in order to bring various energy forces into your everyday life.
1. Circle: The Circle is one of the most potent symbols. It represents Eternity, Completion, Unity, the Universe, Perfection and the Sacred Female.
2. Triangle: The Triangle relates to the combined power of the Body, Mind and Spirit; Mother, Father and Child; and of the Past, Present and Future.
3. Square: The Square represents the four elements- Wind, Water, Fire and Earth - and the four directions.
4. Pentacle (Five-Pointed Star-pointing up): Represents the four basic elements (Wind, Water, Earth and Fire), with the 5th point representing the Spirit. The pentagram is a powerful sign, used for protection from dark forces.
5. Infinity: The symbol for infinity looks like the number eight laid on its side. In ancient India and Tibet, it represented Perfection, Dualism, and Unity between male and female. In the occult tarot, it's linked to magic and represents equilibrium or the balance of various forces. This is a very powerful and cosmic symbol to use in your home.

The Circle Symbol
Eternity, Perfection, Female
The Circle is one of mankind's oldest symbols of good fortune. It stands for Eternity and Infinity because it is endless, without beginning or end. It is sign of Completeness, Perfection, and Wholeness. It represents the Feminine Spirit or force, the cosmos or a Spiritualized Mother Earth, and a sacred space. The Circle has heavenly associations in the Rainbow, which appears to touch both Heaven and Earth at the same time.
~ The snake or Dragon with its tail in its mouth, continually devouring itself and being reborn from itself is a symbol of eternity and of the cyclic nature of the universe. It expresses the unity of all things, which never disappear but change form in a cycle of destruction and re-creation.
~ As a symbol for eternity, the ring is used for betrothal and marriage. Betrothal rings were an old Roman custom. Wedding rings came into use later.
The Triangle Symbol
Harmony, Balance
The Triangle was perceived as representing the cycle of life - Birth, Maturity and Death- and as such it stood for the harmony of humans with their gods. It was considered a sacrilege to break its perfect shape.It represents the powers and delicate balances of...
Ego, Spirit, and Soul;
Body, Mind and Spirit;
Mother, Father and Child; and
the Past, Present and Future.
According to ancient beliefs, an upright equilateral triangle, with one point at the top and two at the base, is a male solar symbol, representing Spirit, Divinity, Fire, Life, Prosperity and Harmony.
- In contrast, the Reversed Triangle, is female and lunar, representing Mother Earth, Water, Rain and Grace.
Religious Connotations:
- In Christianity and Judaism, a Triangle is often used as a symbol for God and the Holy Trinity. In Magic, it was seen as representing the element Fire (pointing downward, meaning water).
- When upright and downward Triangles are put together, they form the Star of David or the Seal of Solomon and symbolize Balance and Knowledge. Before becoming a prominent symbol of Judaism, the six pointed star was used by alchemists and was said to have also been used by Druid priests as protection against evil ghosts.
Having this symbol in your life can be used to denote a connection with, or an interest in, the spirit and the spiritual realm.

The Square Symbol
The Physical World
The Square represents the Physical World. Like the quartered circle, it points pagans to the four compass directions: North, East, South and West.
It symbolizes the four elements- Wind, Water, Fire and Earth- and represents Stability, Strength, as well as the Four Seasons.
Unlike the Circle and the "Spiral", which are universally feminine symbols, the Square represents male qualities.
The Pentagram or Pentacle
Protection
A Circle around a Pentagram, contains and protects. In union, the Pentagram and the Circle, symbolize Eternity and Infinity - the cycles of life and nature.
The Pentagram usually represents the four basic elements; needed to sustain human life; (Wind, Water, Earth and Fire) with the 5th point representing the Spirit. The protective quality of the Pentagram can be used to banish negative energy, or to bring positive energy to you, depending on how it's drawn.
In Ancient Christian times:
- The five points of the pentagram have been interpreted as representing the five wounds of Christ (2 wrist, 2 ankle and 1 side).
- The Roman Emperor Constantine used the pentagram in his seal and amulet.
- It has been referred to as the Star of Bethlehem

The Infinity Symbol
Creation, Unity
The lemniscate (from the Latin lemniscus for ribbon) represents the cycles of infinity and creation, as one universe grows into and becomes another. It is the Past, Present and Future, all in one, and represents being in the Eternal Now.
It is interpreted as a union of the Masculine and the Feminine and gives a sense of perfection -"two becoming one". Two uniting Circles, one representing man and the other woman; each equal, because one is not above the other.
The figure 8, represented in the Infinity Symbol is also a basic feng shui symbol to help create a flow of energy and unblock stagnant chi. It creates balance, when negative symbols or a bad Feng Shui house affects them.

- I love your lens - well constructed and I'll be back to follow all the links. I'm ready to get my box of crayons out to make symbols - Simple line drawings with intention are powerful - I've been working energetically in just this way since the first of the year. Each room that has a colorful yet simple line drawing in it has improved energetically. Thanks so much for you insight and expertise.
