Tysm for narration so perfect now aha, Now let's get some longer vids plz. No one else actually explains symbolism

[@sevenn7pure]

There are actually several other channels that explains what some of the symbolism means. Depending on what you are looking for there are some that talk about the secret society's that run this world and what the symbolism means to them. Signs and symbols run the entire world and numbers are also very powerful. My belief about why the signs and symbols came into play goes back to babylon when Yahuah destroyed it before nimrod could finish his tower that was supposed to reach into the Heavens. Yahuah "scattered" the languages so that they could no longer understand one another and work together for evil. That's where the word babble comes from. Since their launguages were all different they came up with signs, symbols, handshakes, ect. as a way to communicate with one another. Only those that understand the meanings will know what's up. For example if a mason sees a particular sign he will know that he is in the area/place of other masons. When people who are into occultism and have the esoteric knowledge they can see in all of the movies, books, commercials, ect and have a MUCH different understanding of what's being said vs the lay person that just sees for example an eye inside of a pyramid, someone covering up 1 eye, someone making the "ok" hand gesture with the 3 free fingers spread out, someone making the "rock and roll" devil horns, a black and white checkerboard pattern, and on and on.

"To keep witchcraft away people carved symbols on buildings etc." So let me get this straight... to keep witchcraft away, people basically did witchcraft by carving symbols with intent for protection. Make it make sense. 🤦‍♀️

You asked about our favorites ~ double V symbol of the Volkswagen, which was a "spoils of war" taken from Germany after WWII by the US, and angel wings, which are seen in the phoenix carrying the Nazi swastika in its claws. The swastika is a symbol of "good fortune" and "welcome", both greetings from ancient times and many cultures. The angel wings are also displayed in the iconography in ancient Persia. The deeper ancient history of the Germans reveals that they are actually descended from the Israelites in Captivity from the northern kingdom, exiled and enslaved in Assyria. Thus, the Aryan connection in Nazi Germany, but this history is far more extensive and complicated than Hitler was aware of. I also found the crossed lines interesting, the intersections being very powerful. They reminded me of the ley lines of the Earth, the intersections frequently having portals (Jacob's ladder, for instance), but also having other forms of great power. I used to draw complicated Celtic knots consisting of one continuous cord/thread. Each drawing represented different concepts of life and/or relationships. My drawings weren't done by the recommended methods of this kind of knotting ~ I discovered those methods many years later, but when attempting to employ them, my drawings were a total failure. I love your channel. This kind of information is so important these days, when we need to get back in touch with our ancient understandings of wisdom and knowledge buried in the depths of our collective subconscious. Thank you.

Solomons Knot is something that I would consider. Solomon is the master of spirits; those spirits are the different aspects of the mind. For us mystics, we understand in one way or another (said in different ways -- The mind is the universe, and the universe is mind; so as above is so below.

Second one reminds me of the series "Westworld". The two central characters are women...each fighting for their idea of freedom...although I would say Dolores isn't the bad one as the series goes on neither is Maeve but it's interesting to see the symbolism point of origin. Funnily enough "The Maze" symbolism also used in this series as well. Interesting video.

“Witch” is a new age term. One time not too long ago. They were called “ Shamans, Sybil’s, Medicine man/women, Gypsies or seers. The “new age movement.” That’s a misnomer because ancient people already knew this. It was taught to European women and men by the Moors and after the Moors were exiled. They left behind a lot of scrolls still used today by oligarchs in the known world.

[@sophiashekinah9872]

The pentagram is a geometric shape. It's a five pointed star. The pentacle is Sacred to GodDess; it is a five pointed star within a circle and it symbolizes Spirit encased in matter. It can be seen in the shape created when an apple is sliced horizontally. It is also a symbol for Life and depicts a person with a head, two arms reaching towards the Heavens, and two feet standing on Earth.

[@fuerstinhun98]

The satanic version of the pentagram has a point on the bottom. The one displayed by Symbol Sage has the point at the top. There's a difference in meanings.

[@sophiashekinah9872]

@@fuerstinhun98 Yes. The satanic version is called an inverted pentagram, and it represents the opposite of everything the pentagram symbolizes.

In Christian tradition, we mark a cross using the holy flame on top of every entrance, it is supposed to ward off malevolent spirits and demons.

Which doesn't work because if someone is fixed on cursing an individual and getting revenue - there's nothing anyone can do to reverse or stop it. There's always a way for a practitioner in black magic to bypass a y defense.

[@TheEternalClown]

Among Wicca Witches the pentagram was and is always a sign of good. The evil side stole it and turned it into something it is not.

[@daxleone]

Yep!!! Exactly 😇

[@daxleone]

@@blazingstar9638 How so?

[@micksmixxx]

@@daxleone I believe that blazingstar9638 MAY be referring to the inverted pentagram (upside down) being a symbol of Devil worship/Satanism.

[@Shadowman9348]

It's not "evil" - that's just narrow-minded thinking. It is deeply misunderstood. I use the inverted pentagram. The point is downward, which represents the power from within - it can also have the head of Baphomet - one of many incarnations of the horned god who has been around since the paleolithic stone age. Nobody stole it, It's been used long before wicca was ever a trend.

[@sevenn7pure]

@1:14 the belief in witchcraft and the supernatural was widely believed. Yeah its never ceased and is even more prevalent today. It did go underground for a time as there was a time when people who practiced magic and the sacrificing of kiddos/people/animals were put to death. (Yes I understand that not every person partakes in those acts but there are A LOT. This goes into hollyweird, entertainment, military, and gvt.) These days it's out in the open in our faces everywhere but most people have no idea what they are looking at and how this is leading to the 1 world religion they want as well as 1 world everything. Yeshua IS the most high and when that time comes WILL bring great destruction to all involved in the worship of deities, the fallen, and other entities.

[@chrys.k.mwarriorsofpiathos1501]

Witches aren't all evil...

[@SymbolSage]

No one said they were :)

[@Shadowman9348]

The pentegram does not represent the wounds of Christ, it is a representation of the five elements: Earth Air Water, Fire, Spirit. If the point is upward it represents the external spiritual forces to call upon, where as if it's inverted - it represents interna spiritual forces, utilizing the power within rather than above.

[@SymbolSage]

When Christians tried to adapt this pagan symbol into their iconography, they had to give it some relevant meaning. Hence, the 5 wounds of Christ.

[@Shadowman9348]

[@naiyamurakami8412]

Yes very odd why Witches would use a pentagram considering it's been used in magical books for thousands of years but it's earliest use was as a symbol of the Goddess Ishtar and since most witches do not ignore the divine feminine it makes since why we would use it. The early Judeo-christian magicians used it but witches were using it before those magicians were around en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentagram quick rundown on the history with more info instead of christians used it now witches do and it's a mystery it's not especially since there is also a lot of platonic and hermetic threads in modern witchcraft

[@SymbolSage]

You're right, the pentagram has been used for thousands of years across various cultures, including as a symbol of the Goddess Ishtar. Its association with the divine feminine makes it a natural choice for witches who honor those traditions. Early Judeo-Christian magicians did adopt it, but its roots go back much further, linking to Platonic and Hermetic traditions that have influenced modern witchcraft. Thanks for sharing the link for more detailed historical context!
