Visible forms of Divine meaning.
A path through the sacred language of the Gods.
The sacred symbols of Zevism reveal the powers of the Gods and the mysteries of the soul. Each form gathers a living spiritual correspondence: the awakening of inner sight, the ascent of the sacred serpent, the illumination of the chakras, or the Divine order through which the soul approaches the Godhead.
The origin of the word
σύμβολον
Symbolon: a token, a sign, a means of recognition. Related to συμβάλλω, “to bring together.”
A visible form brings the mind into relation with a meaning beyond itself.
What is a symbol?
The English word “symbol” comes through Latin symbolum from Ancient Greek σύμβολον (symbolon). In one concrete Greek use, a symbolon was either of two matching pieces of an object: their fit allowed the holders to recognize one another or confirm a relationship. The word also came to denote a token or sign. [1][3]
The related verb συμβάλλω (symballō), whose present infinitive is συμβάλλειν (symballein), joins σύν, “together,” with βάλλω, “to throw” or “cast.” Its senses include bringing together and comparing. This history of the word brings recognition and relationship into view: a sign joins what is seen to what is understood. [2]
For the Zevist, the symbol joins the visible world to Divine power. The Gods reveal Their qualities through sacred animals, plants, numbers, colors, and forms. These same powers have inward correspondences in the soul: the oak speaks of the pineal center and third eye; the serpent of Kundalini; the cup of the inner Grail; the wings of spiritual freedom. Study, devotion, and contemplation bring the sacred form into the work of awakening. [4][5]
