Symbol Code: SM000040 Symbol Name: Monad (Category: Consciousness )

(Mortal Consciousness): The idea behind the monad is that we as humans are built of millions of cells, each of which is a monad, i.e., each is a focal point of consciousness, albeit a much simpler form of consciousness than our own. Large groups of these extremely simple centers of consciousness combine to form larger parts of our total consciousness – an idea best represented by the Chakra system of Hindu Yoga. Each one of these various levels of consciousness, which would all individually be considered a separate monad, combine to form the total consciousness which we experience daily as our individual conscious awareness.

Symbol Code: SM000041 Symbol Name: The Hetroglyphic Monad (Category: Consciousness )

(Mortal Consciousness): In Western Mystery Traditions, the term “Monad” is used to describe this idea of a person as a focal point of consciousness within a sea of greater consciousness, and it is believed that all things that can be considered a unity unto themselves constitute a monad as well.

At left we see the symbol that has been traditionally employed to denote the monad, known as the “Hieroglyphic Monad.” Note that the Hieroglyphic Monad is the root symbol of many ancient astrological and alchemical symbols, such as those used to denote the planets, male and female energy, and the “Three Principles” of Alchemy (Sulfur, Salt, and Mercury).

Symbol Code: SM000351 Symbol Name: Hermetic Seal of Light (Quintessence) (Category: Consciousness )

(Soul Consciousness): This symbol, often referred to as the synthesis of alchemy or the Hermetic Seal, hearkens back to ancient Pythagorean philosophy, wherein the square, circle, the and the triangle are the emblems of the material body, the soul, and the spirit, the three elements believed to be necessary for alchemical transformation.
Alchemically, these are Mercury, Salt, and Sulfur.

(Soul Consciousness): The pentacle, a pentagram within a circle, is the most recognizable symbol of Wicca. In Wicca, the pentacle represents the integration of body and spirit, and the spiritual mastery of the four elements.
Hidden pentacles are pentacles disguised within more intricate designs, and may be worn when it is not safe or appropriate to wear a ‘standard’ pentacle.

Sometimes called a ‘flower pentacle,’ they have a less “occult” look and are less likely to cause problems with non-pagan family or in the workplace.

Symbol Code: SM000356 Symbol Name: Witch’s Knot (Witch’s Charm) (Category: Consciousness )

(Soul Consciousness): The Witch’s knot is a common symbol in folk magic. The witch’s knot is a symbolic representation of the knot magic practiced by witches in the middle ages, and was used as a sympathetic charm against witchcraft, and usually scratched over doorways of homes and stables. One aspect of its efficacy as a protective charm lay in the ability to draw the complicated symbol in one continuous motion.
While the symbol appears to be made up of intertwined vesica pisces, it does not represent “feminine powers” as is sometimes claimed, but the inversion of those powers- the four radiating half circles symbolically reflect malefic winds. Ironically, this is a popular emblem of choice for modern witches.

Symbol Code: SM000357 Symbol Name: Yggdrasil (Norse Tree of Life) (Category: Consciousness )

The World-ash encompasses the Nine Worlds, and is guarded by the serpent Jormungandr. Yggdrasil is one of many variations of the Cosmic Axis or Universal World Tree known to all human cultures.
Yggdrasil is home to many creatures, most notably the serpent or Dragon Nidhogg, who lurks in the base, The Rooster Gullinkambi (golden comb), who lives at the tree’s peak, and the squirrel, Ratatosk, who carries messages between them. These animals can be viewed as metaphors for the human body. According to Norse legend, Yggdrasil is where the god Odin hung upside-down for nine nights in order to obtain the Rune Alphabet. Beneath the roots of the World Ash lies the spring, Mimir, to which Odin sacrificed an eye to gain wisdom.
