Symbols You Can Use for a Spiritual Necklace Pendant
Thunderbird
Strength, security, and resilience are all attributes associated with the Thunderbird Symbol, a worthy charm on any spiritual necklace pendant. He can take human form by opening his head like a mask and removing his feathers as if they were a blanket and is widely regarded as the most potent of all spirits. His wings conceal lightning snakes that he can use for offense and defense.
A legendary bird called the Thunderbird is said to control the weather and other natural phenomena. When hunters get too close to their mountain home in the Pacific Northwest, the Thunderbird makes loud claps of thunder by flapping his wings and fires lightning bolts from his eyes.
He makes it possible for plants to flourish by causing rainstorms. Some say he has a wingspan equal to two canoes and that he could lift a killer whale with his paws. Unfortunately, the Thunderbird is only used by the most influential and wealthy chiefs and families. Like the Eagle, he has plumage and horns, but these set him apart. The people once begged the Thunderbird to help them during a food shortage. The Thunderbird obliged, but in thanks, he asked that he be depicted only at the pinnacle of a totem pole, wings spread wide. This is why many totem poles along the Northwest Coast feature a Thunderbird at their summit.
Star
In astronomy, Venus is known as both the Evening and Morning Star. This is because the planet rises a few hours before the Sun in the morning, disappears during the day, and becomes extremely visible after sunset. It may be a planet, but it outshines all the stars in the night sky.
Ancient Egyptians and Greeks initially viewed Venus as having two different bodies. As a result of these associations, the planet was given the names Phosphorus (the bringer of light) in the morning and Hesperus (the evening star) in the evening. However, Pythagoras ultimately realized that they were interchangeable.
A symbol of bravery, fertility, and the rebirth of fallen heroes, the Morning Star holds special significance in Native American religion and culture. The Pawnee believed that the souls of those sacrificed during the Morning Star ceremony would soar into the heavens and become stars.
In some cultures, the Morning Star symbolizes hope, guidance, new beginnings, and protection. The hexagram is a simple geometric shape consisting of two equilateral triangles and is one of the world’s oldest symbols.
This symbol requires you to lift and reposition your pen several times throughout the drawing process. The two overlapping triangles in this 6-pointed star symbolize the coming together of opposing forces. Although its meaning differs from culture to culture, it has been used by numerous faiths and philosophies.
Cauldron
Historically, people have used cauldrons for magical, divinatory, and medicinal purposes. While it is still employed in modern rituals, the object serves more as a symbol than a practical aid. The term “cauldron” describes a large kettle used to boil liquids over an open fire. The mouth of this object is large and forms an arc.
Historically, cauldrons have been crafted from cast iron and supported by three legs. Despite its lack of popularity in the developed world, it is still occasionally employed in western countries for witchcraft. The cauldron is still an integral part of Wiccan rituals, where it is placed in a ritual circle or other sacred location and used to burn ceremonial items. It stores the components of a magic or spell before they are added to water for scrying. It can also serve as a site of germination, transmutation, and transformation, in addition to its more obvious uses in brewing and making potions. The Celtics considered it a sacred vessel because it represented the womb of the goddess and rebirth.
Lotus
Lotus plants are a stunning addition to any water feature due to their exotic appearance and heady fragrance. Beyond their stunning appearance, they are exotic, majestic, and dramatic. The ancient Egyptians, the Buddhists, and the Hindus all contributed to the rich symbolism associated with the lotus flower.
The Nelumbo genus includes the Lotus flower, which is associated with virtue, rebirth, and the divine. Since lotuses only flourish after being submerged for a long time, they have come to represent triumph over adversity and the potential for renewal in the face of adversity.
Lotus flowers, with their brightly colored blossoms, defy expectations by growing in dirty water. The lotus is frequently used as a metaphor due to its striking ability to grow in mud and then return to it at night and continuously bloom clean the following day.
How it blooms gives the lotus flower spiritual significance in Buddhism and Hinduism, where it symbolizes innocence and beauty. Flowers on the lotus close, and the plant sinks into the water at night, only to open again in the morning.
Ancient Egyptians observed this behavior. They eventually connected the flower to the concept of rebirth as well as the Sun. Fun fact: lotuses take three days to fully emerge from a pond and bloom from early morning until about midday.
The Buddhist symbol of the lotus represents purity, enlightenment, and loyalty. The fact that the flower can survive overnight in dirty water and still look pristine upon awakening lends credence to the notion that it is an exceptionally pure species.
The lotus is known to symbolize purity of speech, the body, and the mind. In Buddhist thought, the individual’s life journey can be compared to the flowering of a lotus.
A person’s journey to enlightenment and nirvana can be compared to a flower’s life cycle, beginning with the seed at the beginning of the karmic cycle, progressing through the bud emerging from the dirty water, symbolizing a person going to follow the path of spirituality and leaving connection behind, and culminating in full bloom.
A large tree with its roots and branches within a circle represents the tree of life symbol. The spreading branches are balanced and symmetrical thanks to the depth of the tree’s roots. Although the meaning of the tree of life symbol has changed over the centuries, its core features—a thriving tree with sturdy roots—have remained constant.
Older than written history is the image of the tree of life. This universal symbol has been around nearly as long as people have. Christian, Egyptian, Buddhist, African, Turkish, and Celtic artifacts all feature the tree of life symbol. Cultures and religions reflect multicultural ideals, but they also share common threads. That is to say, the tree of life is a common symbol for tying people to the divine, their ancestors, and the afterlife.
For the Celts, trees represent the spiritual bonds between generations, ancestors, and the divine. There is a spiritual link between this world and the next, and the tree of life symbolizes this. For the Celts, trees represented more than just a source of food and shelter; they were also seen as guardians of the Otherworld. For this reason, the Celtic tree of life is revered. It’s called “Crann Bethadh” in Irish.
Angel
Angelshave always been portrayed in mythology and literature as guardians and communicators. There is a common belief that angels are spiritual beings, but people’s references and interpretations of them vary widely. Angels are a part of the channel that enables the current energetic environment’s rapid shift. The communication between heaven and Earth, and you and your divine energy, is facilitated by angles. As such, these are the meanings and symbols associated with angels.
Angels, in their stereotypical forms, appear to be everywhere. You have likely seen them at a friend’s house or on a building on church property. Solid and humanoid creatures with feathery wings; this is how they are portrayed in these regions. They are fiercely loyal to those who follow God and will defend them at any cost. Whether they are guardian angels or any other kind of angel, the symbolism of angels tends to make people feel more hopeful, more at ease, and more open to new perspectives.
Angels represent brains in more ways than one. Suncatchers made of angel crystal You should consider yourself an intelligent person when someone gives you a gift of an angel. Angels know more about the cosmos and us than we do because they live in heaven with God and are sent to Earth to deliver messages and aid humanity. Angels have the strength and otherworldly powers that humans don’t, so receiving an angel pendant as a gift indicates a high level of intelligence on the giver’s part.
To prove the existence of God, angels serve as perfect signs. The qualities of devotion, hope, trust, faith, and love that they represent are also present in humans, and so it is through them that people come to know God. An angel gift or art is ideal if you or your friend have a respectful attitude toward God. An angel gift symbolizes faith and a trusting heart in God.
