Every major pagan symbol and what they REALLY mean

Throughout history, symbols have played an important role in pagan traditions. These symbols are visual representations of deep-rooted beliefs and sacred wisdom.
But what defines a pagan symbol? Most people think that paganism is just wicca, but in reality, paganism encompasses so much more.

Well, they had to demonize the most sacred symbol of tangible divinity. Air, fire, water, Earth and spirit in a circle of reincarnation. None of which we can survive without to sell an intangible deity which nobody can touch and can survive without. People who understand the sacredness of the symbol of the pentacle are conscious of our environment, love nature and try to protect it.

You acknowledge that the horned God represents a Deity but don't know the Deity the triple goddess represents...

[@katkiskukacka9093]

Artemis, Ceridwen and Hecate. Many neo pagans claim Hekate as a triple Goddess because her three faces. But many female deity has triple aspects. Bridget, healing, poetry, smithing. Morrigan , white, red and black aspect. Mainly all Moon Goddesses have to have the three. Sumerian Inanna, as well her mother Ningal. I hope it helped.

So basically everything “represents life death and rebirth” ? This is pretty shallow. The ancient world was much more interesting! Basically you found a way to allegorize instead of interpret symbolism (with the logic of feminist propaganda historically designed to divide large groups of people after WWI so the government could step in and unite them). But understanding pagan symbolism is a lot better and a lot worse than slapping the same basic explanation on every symbol you find

[@Markynava777]

Lol i see this alot! Woth peoples zodiac signs, i swear, different people will claim their sign means, lets say, confident, and others will claim the same about their sign. Basically, i made a joke lile "people will think every symbol means the same thing" lol For examlple, to Christians, all symbols that arent a cross or a fish, mean Satan and evil 😂

[@joshuaforeman2611]

@@Markynava777 our day and age has lost the ability to understand symbolism for sure. Basically if you suffer from chronological snobbery (“people in the past are all stupid just because they came before”) you’re just kind of screwed when it comes to typology and symbolism. That’s like everyone alive today basically. I will take exception and say there’s an orthodox icon carver named Jonathan pageau who has an amazingly good grasp on symbolism and has taught me a ton through his YT channel called “the symbolic world”. You should check out his movie interpretations as a place to start. Really enjoyable and profoundly accurate

The Triquetra its orgins are unkown it was adopted by Modern Neo pagans and Wiccans and most likey made the by Christians the triskele you got right though but the oldest symbol is found in Hinduism so Indo European and Indian even though it is highly associated with iron age Celts they got it from The Indo European Migrations and The Awen Symbol has nothin to do with Gender or energy of gender. The 3 circles are What some paper would call Orion's belt and the connections to the star's. The 3 pathways is The In between & The otherworld & Rebirth Also Sunwheel is Life Death Rebirth and associated with The Sun in some cultures Sun Deities using it as a Calendar System is Modern . In some cultures it means Healing as well as Balance of life

[@Enchantedlight_20_13_]

There are variations of the houroborus ,showed with 2sankes eating each other . A red and a white one ,if i remember right. Very often snakes also meant as dragons. So snakes and dragons represent the same on a otherscale. Some say dragons are developed snakes Refering to the stories of southamerica maya especially tolteks. Keep flowing like water friends! Edit ,...variations exist with 2, 3 or even more snakes ( or dragons). Its like with the symbol of the rose can represent the position of progress on the alchemic transformation or way to wisdom. It related to what is menat to use for. 4snakes could used if u want to refer to the 4 directions , 4 main elements, to master the interaction and master them to gain power over the 5th element which is representet from the circle itself.

Just like so many people, assume the worst without knowing the truth. There is good and evil. Not just evil. Just because other people worship other gods and deities that does not mean they are evil that is not for other people to condem or judge as long as they don't harm you or them selves people should mind their own business. People believe what they want, which is their own personal freedom. Again, as long as they don't harm themselves or others, it's all good. Everyone is on their own journey through life. That doesn't mean you have to join in with peoples beliefs, but it is good to remember you have your own beliefs and you wouldn't want some disrespecting your beliefs.

[@SymbolSage]

It's all about respect and trying to understand, isn't it.

[@theoceandragonfly]

@SymbolSage Yes, and with all the diversity in the world, galaxies, and universe, it is better to give someone a chance to tell you who they are instead of assuming thing's about them and ending up wrong and then hurting someone. Just remember, there are those who don't always have good intentions and others who do have good intentions. Don't assume anything. Let them show you who they are and tell you that is proof.

Cernunnos has absolutely nothing to do with baphomet or any satanic symbolism!!! Au Contraire!!! Cernunnos is the protector of the forests and the anymals in it, agriculture and hunting!! His antlers stant for his connection with the ether!!! In his left hand, the devils side, he holds the Horned Snake(devil) by the throat, keping him under control!!! Cernunnos is wearing a Keltic Tork around his neck, pointing out his status of nobility!!! In his right hand he holds a Tork for somebody... Those Keltic Torks often are made of kopper and are excellent conductors of energy!!! Cernunnos is a deer!!! Not a buck!!!

[@umwha]

Satanic imagery is largely pagan images that have been cast as evil by Christian’s. The devil is just a distortion of pan, who is related to other horned gods like cernunous

[@katkiskukacka9093]

Well Baphomet was just demonized, because the Hittites worshipped him as a symbol of fertility and the Jews started to worship him too, so they needed to stir the people back to the unseeable myth. That deity is so old, that nobody knows how old he is. Do not forget if you believe in the devil, you have to come from the three Abrahamic religion or from the Zoroastrians who invented him. Polytheistic religions don’t believe in Satan. They believe that some Gods are not good for humans, but ultimate evil doesn’t exist.

[@Enchantedlight_20_13_]

Well , Symbols Yes! This is a very nice compilation! Some i knew very Well bevore, some i like more than others. But always looking for other stories about them. Sometimes their linked to my own collection of stories, sometimes not yet. The lesser popular like the awen is just not so often in Focus, like the cross or the swastika u See them at every corner from various variations. If i like or not. So i knew most about them to tell ppl the stories behind it, and how they missuse it for their 'dumbness'. The high - cross is missinterpreted as well. No wonder for a 'Religion' made out of lies and murder. Or how much was killed from church in the name of God? Tell me at least ONE murder u know in the name of Satan!? Got u!? So who is the true Evil side u like to choose? Well lets forget about this .. Whats more 'important' Well i was more going to tell about other things . From my perspective something i should mention here is that the wild-man, the horned one ore horned God is most likely the same as the green man! It represents also the two sides of Nature a Peacefull, harmonic , splendid and life bearing Side and also an destructive competive aggressive and unlogical dark creepy side. The Satan in the Bible looks more like the good old god Pan from Greek. Represented also in the Symbol of the 3faced god ,which is a version of the green man ,...which is the same like Cernunos or 'Herne the Hunter', its also the devil, which is mostly like PaN with it nymphes, some also call it Odin (but here iam not 100%sure but it makes kind of sense at least), in Irish and GBritish also well known as Dagda or Dayda .,which is realated to the Oak _in gällic' Duir'_ . Means He is the King of the Greenworld like the Oak (duir). Duir as a name for Oak lead to the Name - Druid and means a man that have the wisdom and knowledge of the trees ,which includes the whole 'nature' cause the trees are connected with all life forms in all 'realms'! Their have relationship with the mineral-world earth , all plants and fungies, also animals and Humans. Short, a Druid can also interpreted like 'a man of knowing'. At this point i must mention that the Triskele has a 4th Realm related to the Fire element and its the triangle in the Middle wich is expandet and reach in the deepest other realms Its the Lifeforce itself in form of Life, Conciousness, Fire which Warms as chemical reaction or in any Form whatever. Its the line making the symbol too, kind of cause its a lifeforce that createt it! Well My view is that the agypts got their knowledge more from ' the dog of the north ' as most people may think! Not the other way round! Their just where the ones that was addicted with typing symbols as kind of tapetry for later generations. The people who knew, know all wisdom exist in the other realm! No need for writing so much, if u can 'see' it with a kind of atheric journey urself. Much they do was to train the mind. Tesla, as he self told, gets well instructed, while his lucid dreaming, from various otherworld entities. The megalithic Tombs around Europe are also a hint. Thot Was an Athlantean from Hyperboreer, Atlantis is one Kingdom in that old Empire around the Northpole. At this time the Northpole Was at Tibet for quite a while and shiftet later. But Atlantis Was in the Atlantic around the Azores and reached also to Northsea. There is a scientific evidence that ones there was a Landbridge from europe to North america. Sure maybe not complete with several ice connections, but far more crossable for walking Species, like the special Kind of an ancient exticted Elk, they found in Europa AND in Northamerica. They couldnt cross that large ICE Region without food? or could they? I guess not. Well the last thing is Hard to dig out, but at least the half of scientist believe there was not an ICE age at this time, but a warm period around 12K BC.. Maybe they just played to much with their weather science and magic in this late times of Atlantis 😑 Well i have read ur asking about going deeper and thats why i found out, that my comment under ur Video is missing. so i checked my notifications-app and found that copy, that i missed to finish yet.

Above that comes somewhere the realm or veil of the dragons. Later Above that its a veil of spells, Symbols, Pure math and geometry... Thats why a special pattern is needet for doing acting in one of the 'veils' u have to Do it from the higher realm. Like u have to act like a Soldier if u want someone to frighten of, or at least as a Psycho. If u want to influence, rule or 'dominate' something u have to take actions in the Level above theirs! Well, one out of a Million is just braking through the first veil, but it gets more today knew whats behind that political System.. Maybe if the first veils gets completely understand from whole humans, we reach a new Era, for Sure! At last whe are pure Energie or life force, but mostly trapped inside the first veil. Magicans must knew this Realms, its up to 'Ten Worlds' from which our well known World is just the first! They are all have a veil between or a border. Its a lot of Personal Power (personal free usable Chi) needed to breach up through the worlds behind /above. Most people dont have, cause they are trapped from the actors in that politic illusionary drama. Most just reach the 4th realm, but for the Real wizards they are able to go All through up to the tenth. U will find them if u look precisely.

@@SymbolSageUr even more funny! 🙃😘 Explain a notchy assertion? I could say... Its about 88 Main elements and 276 (idk excactly) minor elements or how they called in english... And it wouldnt make any kind of sence, here The Post above Should better explain and expand on this 'provoking' view. Otherwise in the context of The elements paganism there are 5 which we are able to 'work' with, cause we are the essence of THIS World. We are the 'Race' of the 5 elements! 5fingers, 5senses, 5Major Body extension, Havent ever heard of a System with 6 elements, and it would neither a totaly other thing for Mental Games! There are more elements maybe, but that 'not usable' for OUR progress today. Well, had a Hard day and just woke up. I knew something, maybe, Barbara Ann Brennan told about that ' higher dimensions' and is Talking about an sixt, sevence, and eight Brains some old Races had developed physically. Well it goes in to this 'higher' elementar stuff up to nine Realms or World of existence. 5 elements are OUR energie! If someone is using a six Element, i would be VERY Carefull its something 'not from this universe'! Well in German six sounds same as sex, so first i thought maybe this was meant as a joke?

This compilation was incomplete, it lacks the most powerful of all Pagan symbols, the IRISH RUNES that the NAZIS borrowed were concealed and not present. SO , I give this work a failing grade!

[@SymbolSage]

Hey sorry to hear that. We are looking into the Irish runes for a future video.

The pentagram is pythagorean, but ok, you do you.

[@SymbolSage]

Thanks for your comment! You're absolutely right that the pentagram has roots in Pythagoreanism. The ancient Greeks, including Pythagoras, saw the pentagram as a symbol of mathematical perfection and harmony. Its significance has evolved over time, being adopted by various cultures and belief systems, including Wicca and other pagan traditions.

[@festerbutt]

@@SymbolSage I don't remember the exact meaning of each side, I only thought about it on a surface level after watching a random theoria apophasis vid on it and a donald duck mathemagic cartoon, has the triangles in it, conforms to the golden ratio making it a powerful symbol of a fundamental constant of reality I guess, you caught me entire off guard since I would have went into detail explaining it in my original comment if I had the memory.

[@5thPROJEKT]

Pythagoras learned everything he knew from the Egyptians. The pentagram is derived from the orbit of Venus, aka, The Venus Rose.

@@5thPROJEKT Thanks, I have seen that pic of the geocentric movements and noticed it, but never figured they got it from there, I just thought it's a pattern in nature

[@casachezdoom2588]

@@festerbutt Yeah probably, if you cut an apple horizontally the seeds make a pentagram, I'm sure there are other examples.

[@danielabilez3619]

The symbols you speak of are from the white way. You have omitted Asain symbols as well as native american, pacific islander, aboriginal.

[@ghoste809]

Thumbs down because you know nothing about paganism or animism.. dont disrespect our beliefs because of your ignorance. You didnt even include the most important symbol in all of paganism/animism.

[@SymbolSage]

Hey sorry you feel that way! Not sure which symbol you mean - the swastika? We have done several videos on that - you'll find them on our channel.

I respect your goals of bringing or attempting to explain theae Symbol's,, as your well aware, some words and symbols are doomed for misunderstanding,, Either by corrupted efforts or closed minds,, Example,, the Term or Phrase SKINHEAD,, origins madder very little to most people,, they have decided before you've even begun to explain.. cheers for your efforts... @∅

And the Cross is the only one that represents death and being re born again as a CHRISTIAN_Christ - little Christ the All knowing one. Every symbol in this video is pagan. The only God that does for his peoples sins is Jesus ❤❤and JESUS LOVES YOU- Good News Maverick City

Many Christian symbols are also pagan in origin.

Unless you flip the star upside down than it's the devil..... All Magic is the Devil.... You can see it by the star you showed... Just flip it upside down than you have a beard, horns & whiskers like the Devil.... Ignorance is Beautiful & tell that to all the Catholics why every Catholic is different of faith to where they came.....

[@katkiskukacka9093]

No, the upside down pentagram is second degree Wicca. As wiccans do not believe in the Devil, only the Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrians. Zarathustra created him and the Jews run with it as a scape goat, works out great, not responsible for any evil I do because the devil made me do it.

[@AlexAboGod-wu2ii]

All these pagan idolatrous symbols...are.. simple knockoffs and ripoffs of Judaism... the one true faith....
