Two snakes around the staff with wings value. Caduceus: What actually means this symbol

The surning bodies of snakes are intertwined in such a way that they form two circles around the rod, - according to one circumference to one snake, symbolizing, so at the merger of two polarities: good - evil, right - left, light, etc., etc. Corresponds to the nature of the world created.

The interlacing of Serpent Kaducei also points to the crossing of mental energy flows: the right stream - plus - goes to the left, on the minus line, and vice versa. From the point of view of physiology, this is a symbol of restoring a lost balance between life as whole and current currents performing different functions in the human body.

The symbolism of the cadouch may vary depending on the application. Metaphysically Caduceus depicts the fall in primary and initial matter into gross earth matter, a single reality, becoming an illusion.

It is recognized that the site of wisdom directly relates to the snake. Snake, personifying wisdom, can be alone only if he drops his old skin - those times when she was a carrier of evil. That is why the rod of Mercury chants two twisted snakes: one of them is a snake of light, another - snake darkness. However, they constitute another symbol of wisdom, since Mercury, being an intermediary between a man and gods, brings the wisdom of heaven (for that it is usually called the "Bulletin of the Gods").

As a rule, Kadutsi is depicted with wings - to remind that the wisdom of snakes or those polarities that they imagine are heavenly origin.

Wings of Caduceus symbolize the ability to cross any borders, airiness; rod - power; Double snake Two invisible "serpentine" energy (Ida and Pingala) flowing through chakras (energy centers) of the human body. They are associated with two snakes, conductors of the force who are wound around Kaducea (from the book "Snake Power" Woodrop, 1923) Caduceus in the hand of Mercury (detail of the XVIII century engraving) - the opposite directions in the dualism, which, ultimately, must be connected.

Two snakes, healing and poisonous (illness and health), mean that "nature can overcome nature." Caduceus is a symbol of the complementary nature of these two forces operating in the universe, and the compound of two floors. Two snakes personify the forces of communication and separation, good and evil, fire and water, climbing and descent, as well as restoration, wisdom and fertility. In Alchemy, this is a men's sulfur and female mercury, the power of transformation, sleep and awakening, dissolution and coagulation of "great experience", the synthesis of opposites and the penetrating function of meditation between the higher and lower levels of reality.

The staff (or rod) of the messenger is the axis of the world, down and up which, between the sky and the earth, are moving all the gods - Messengers and Intermediaries.

Caduceus wear all the envoys as a sign of peace and protection, and he is the main attribute. It is worn by Egyptian Anubis; Greco-Roman Hermes (Mercury), in the hands of which he means health and youth; Phoenician Waal, and sometimes Isis and Ishtar. It is "rod gold, three-stage wealth and happiness" (Homer). It was assumed that he was that rod, which supports the symbols of the sun and the moon.

Caduceus may have the shape of a ball crowned with horns - this is the Phoenician and Hittian solar symbol. He is also astronomic symbol Hermes (Mercury). Caducet is also found in India.

The rod of Caduceus or the rod of Hermes in the occult sciences is a symbol of the key that the boundary between the light and darkness, life and death, good and evil. This rod is a symbol of the interacting and complementary forces of nature.

Two snakes, weaving the tree of this symbol mean two opposites that tend to connect. In medicine, two snakes poisonous and healing mean disease and healing. In low-immigory cultures, two interlaced snakes symbolize fertility. And, for example, in the alchemy snakes on this rod symbolize the male and female beginnings (male sulfur and female mercury), the symbol of dissolution and penetration, the symbol of the interaction of two began. Two intertwing and striking snakes personify wisdom.

Wings on this rod mean the ability to cross any barriers, a symbol of air.

The cane in this rod symbolizes the axis of the world, down and up which, between the sky and the Earth move all the gods-envoys and intermediaries, so this rod is considered a symbol of mediation, consent, trade.

In antiquity, Hermes was also a symbol of envoys who wore a rod as a sign of peace and protection.
This rod is an attribute not only Hermes, in whose hands he means health and youth; It is worn and Egyptian Anubis; Phoenician Waal and sometimes Isis and Ishtar. In the hands of the gods, this rod symbolizes the sky and the moon.

One of the main values \u200b\u200bin all cultures of the world this symbol means proportion to: the evolutionary process of matter cannot overtake the evolutionary process of the spirit or retard from it. Harmonious body development and spirit.

Caduceus ... This symbol is so ancient, which is almost impossible to install when it appeared. But still try to raise the veil of his origin! Caduceus - staff, blamed by two snakes with or without wings, was the attribute of the deities in India and ancient Egypt, in Phenicia and Sumer, in Greece, Rome and in the whole Mediterranean, in Iran and even in Decolumbovy America, that is, where there was a fear The reverence of ignorant people before incomprehensible phenomena or manifestations of the extraordinary qualities and the possibilities of "Divine" for the local population of creatures.

And whatever the deity kept him in his hands: Serapis, Asclepius or Hermes, Mercury or Eskulap, - Kaduchi has always reflected the same thing: the principle of universal movement. Question: What and where?

Not so long ago for lovers "move" in the direction of spiritual development by accelerated methods, I published an interesting article. It was about the artificial stimulation of the vital human potential and the achievement of Nirvana by the so-called kundalini energy lifting along the spinal cord in Sakhasrara. We are talking about the awakening of the activity of serpentine fire, or Kundalini, when joining the central axis, the snakes are connected in the seven points that bind to the main chakras. In the treatises about yoga, it is explained that Kundalini, snake fire, "sleeping" in the basic chakra in the form of a curved snake, and when the evolution wakes up, rises along the spine in three ways: central, sushium, and two sidelines that form two intersecting spirals - Pingal (this is the right, male and active, spiral) and ideas (left, female and passive).

As can be seen in the drawing, this "Kundalini effect" is an accurate copy of the caduce. More precisely, Caduceus symbolizes Kundalini's awakening. But did this symbol always indicated this phenomenon? Moreover, the direction of the Ida and Pinghals do not correspond to the location of these "snakes". Ida and Pingala in a man or a woman are aimed at different directions due to the differences of their hormonal system, and the serpent heads are directed both upwards, which is manifested only in a white tantra, that is, in the harmonious merger of equivalent partners, or as a result of endless training for equiliblation of the vegetative nervous nervous Systems: sympathetic and parasympathetic branches.

Caduceus can be found in the form of two snakes, who walked around the rod, on Egyptian monuments built before the cult of Oziris. It is believed that this symbol of Greek poets and the mythconds borrowed from the Egyptians, and the Greeks of Caduceus, in turn, allegedly adopted the Romans (Roma). The Greeks redid him, because at first he had another look: the rod, depicted first with grape vines, then began to be depicted with two snakes. Again, we find it in the hands of an arculap with a different form compared to the Scypter of Mercury or Hermes. This is a cosmic, sideral or astronomical, as well as a spiritual and even physiological symbol; Its value is changing along with the application. And the Latin word Caduceum occurred from the priestly "Bulletin, harbinger" (messenger Vesti, that is, conscience). This is a symbol of a leading and dedicated, messenger, because it is not enough to know and know, just as important to be able to transmit knowledge. In antiquity, such messengers, direct representatives and messengers of the gods were the magicians who hesitated the soul and the human body - they were associated with the creative force, they were discovered by all the laws that rule in nature. Spiritual maturity allowed them to recognize the nature of the disease and pick up the best medicine. In those days, the kings and kings were simultaneously priests and healers. It is curious that in Greek, the word Caduceus has a common root with the word rooster. Caducet (Lat. Caduceus) or Kerikhon (Greek. Κηύύκειον) - Wand Heads from Greeks and Romans. Rooster as a symbol is found in the first centuries of our era. It was believed that his singing would not only drive out of unclean power, but also brings relief after suffering, which often exacerbate at night, accompanied by longing, insomnia or Lunatism. And the rooster, as you know, the great harbinger of the morning and the sun. In the occultism is considered a symbol of a key that answers the limit between darkness and light, good and evil, life and death. This is how one of the fathers of the church of the Amvrosi Mediolsky (III century) wrote about this: "As a pleasant, the song of the rooster is pleasant at night. And not only pleasant, but also useful. All instills hope in the heart of this cry; Patients feel relief, the pain in the wounds decreases: the fever decreases with the arrival of light.

So, most likely, Caduceus (Kerikyon) served as a reminder of some danger, which lifts the people breaking away from the use of wine and other narcotic substances, because this symbol was carried by heralds in countries where the cult of Dionysius (Vakha) was developed ...

As a symbol of healing, the image of a rooster and snake existed in ancient China. According to the teachings of Chinese doctors, a prerequisite for health was the harmony of two began in the human body: Yin and Yang. The personification of the male start (Yang) was a rooster, female (yin) - snake. I consider this assumption rather free, as it predetermines a certain "sninky" nature of a woman and "Orlinnaya" nature of a man. Yin and Yang are just multidirectional energy flows that enter into interaction, and the snake is a symbol of poison in a reasonable (rooster) quantity, which creates the possibility of feeling from excessive imbalance. The bird has always personified the mind and divinity, and the snake is fitness and flexibility. What confirms the symbol of medicine in the Renaissance era, which was often portrayed in the form of a woman with a staff crowned with a snake, and a rooster in his hand. In the XIII century. The images of a snake with a snake and a singing rooster were decorated with title sheets of medical essays. From 1696, the golden rooster appeared on the coat of arms of French doctors, although there was a somewhat different meaning here, but we will talk about it another time ...

Nevertheless, we should not forget that the same symbol was the attributes of divinity and in Decolumba America. So, he also belongs to the cultural heritage of Atlantis, in connection with this represents the interest of the Gnostic sect of Officients, which means "snakes". There is an opinion that the Gnostic Christian sect "Officite" is the fans of the Snake race of Atlantov. The symbol of the Atlantic gods was a snake. Information about the same Christian sect reached us under the name "Naassen" (Heb. Nakhash - Snake). The other name is "networkin". They were adjacent to "Cainits" and "Peratika" (a very interesting name in view of the above). Several officers are believed to be found in the library Nag Hammadi.

The fact is that the serpentine cult is characteristic of all peoples, one way or another associated with the Atlanta. In particular, Ellina believed that their ancestors were officer, snake people from the West Sea, whose emblem was a snake with an egg in the mouth. And not only Ellina, but also Celtic tribes and the American Indians stated the same.

Christ officers worshiped as a serpentine incarnation, worshiped him as a "good snake" who personified the wisdom and the true knowledge of people who gave people, and believed in the multiplicity of his incarnations. "Nakhash" and "Messiah" in the Hebrew language have the same numerical significance. Along with this, Officite was taught about other snakes hostile to human race. Apparently, it was from these hostile snakes that Jesus produced the essence of Jews, calling them the "waste of viper."

An officer Gnoses was especially common in Egypt, where, as is known from the Slavic-Aryan Vedas, the "heavenly power" people are righteous, saved Atlanta.

6. (70). And destroy the elements of the earth

And it will hide in the depths of the Great Waters,

Tako hid in ancient times

In the depths of the northern waters - Sacred Daaria ...

The gods of the race will save the righteous people

And the power of Heaven takes them to the east,

In the earth of people with the skin of the color of the gloom ...

Some scientists believe that Gnosis was the initial form of Christianity. So, now we can talk about the possible Atlantic sources of Gnosticism.

In general, the snake symbolism in Christianity is quite widespread. For example, among

episcopian liturgical attributes is used by a staff with two shots of snakes, an analogue of the Cadoucé - the rod of the Egyptian priests, decorated with intertwining snakes, but his difference from Caduceus is that he depicts the torn snakes and the lack of the wings of the mind - a kind of landiness.

Interesting in the same sense and another symbol - ANCH. This cross with the upper loop shaped is a symbol of eternal reincarnations on the physical plane, which is expressed in reincarnation on Earth. Ankh is the most significant symbol in the ancient Egyptians, also known as "Circle of Ansat." In this cross, two symbols are combined - a cross, as a symbol of endless life development, and a circle, as a symbol of loopedness, together they denote the development stop in the vertical direction - development in the Godrogian. Also, this cross symbolizes the union of female and male deities, Osiris and Isis, and, thus, the Union of Earth and Heaven, which led to the emergence of a new skew evolutionary Development and the emergence of such a phenomenon like Judaism and fascism.

In a hieroglyphic letter, this sign was set with the meaning of "life", and he was part of the words "welfare" and "happiness", which was intended only for elected Jehovah (the God of Jews) of the people. Moses also had a magic rod, turned into a snake and the commanding elements.

But, back to Atlantis, the Pranodina Maya and the source of all religions.

"Nevertheless, it would be wrong to categorically argue that in favor of the hypothesis about Atlantis, as the Praodine Maya, there are no" arguments ". The monk Landa known to us wrote that some old people the Indians told about their ancestors, as the people who came from the east and saved by the gods who paved twelve ways around the sea. But what is written in one of the books of the "Chimmal Balam" series: "Suddenly, a gigantic flood has come, it rained, thirteen gods lost their rods, heavened heaven and collapsed to the ground, four gods were destroyed ..." (1)

So the legends of the ancient Maya say that those whom they considered the gods were seriously punished: ... Thirteen gods lost their wands, and four gods were destroyed! The legends of the ancestors of the ancient Maya retained the memory of the punishment of the gods! It shook them so much that she crashed into memory as clear as the evidence of the change in the axis of Midgard-land !!! These two events shook the ancestors of the ancient Maya to the very depths of the soul, and it is still unknown which of these two events shocked them more! Interestingly, the punishment of the gods was different. Thirteen gods were deprived of the wands - the symbols of their power, and four of them were destroyed! These lines reflect the degree of responsibility of those who were the culprit of the planetary catastrophe. The main perpetrators of the planetary disaster were punished with a maximum - they were destroyed, which indicates that the hierarchs of a higher level showing that they are incorrigible and therefore pose a danger, and the others were resolved! The degraded gods, of course, could not not shake the people of the Red Race, whom these most demolished gods turned into slaves! And these degraded gods were the people of the White race, the descendants of those who arrived on the lands of the fabilot people with the color of the skin of the flame of the sacred fire along with the leader named AnT!

It is necessary to clarify the situation with the rods. Thirteen "gods" lost their wands! You have read these lines may have an idea that it was thanks to these rods, these thirteen "gods" were "gods". Of course not! Wand is an external sign of evolutionary power and served this rod tool for the manifestation of the force owned by him. Also the rod was an amplifier of power and a resonator. Something similar to the laser, but the laser is not light waves, but the mental power of its owner.

Therefore, such a rod was simultaneously with powerful weapons. The deprivation of the "God" of the rod meant not only that the rod was selected from the personal owner, but also the fact that the owner himself was deprived of his mental strength, which allowed him to create "wonders" from the point of view of those who did not understand the nature of what was happening. It should be noted that the rod was tuned to a specific "God", on his identity, with all its evolutionary features. In other words, every "God" was at a certain evolutionary level, with the relevant properties and qualities that corresponded to a certain evolutionary number.

The punishment of God reduced the fact that his evolutionary number declined more or less, depending on the degree of responsibility for certain acts! This can still be called a partial evolutionary promotion of the essence. With a complete evolutionary promotion of the essence, the degree of guilt of its (entity) of the carrier is so great that the punishment for act or acts led to the fact that the evolutionary number became equal to zero!

At the same time, not only the physical body is punished, but his essence has ceased to exist. It is this that is complete, real death, as the death of only the physical body, allowed the essence to be embodied again, retaining all his negative developments, and this gave the opportunity already in the new physical body to continue to work dark things. That is why in some cases, when there was no hope and the ability to correct the evolutionary crime, the punishment was a complete promotion of the essence.

And this is what is stated in the legends left by the ancestors of the ancient Maya, when it is reported that the four gods were destroyed! By the way, a little more about the rods! Punished "God", if he even took into his hands, recently "his" rod, no result would not receive any result! The rod in the hands of the demolished "God" led myself in the same way as in the hands of everyone else! In addition, I would like to draw attention to the fact that only four "God" from thirteen were destroyed, although all thirteen were deprived of the wands! And the question arises: what happened to the rest of the "gods" after they were deprived of power - wands! If they died in a planetary catastrophe, then they would be in the list of destroyed "gods", but there are no nine degraded "gods" in the list!

And this can only mean one thing - punishing their Higher God-Hierarchs and other gods-hierarchs of the White race gave them a chance to redeem their guilt. (2)

From here it becomes clear how a symbol of lost divine possibilities hit the African continent. And what, in fact, does this rod mean? The rod is an external sign of evolutionary power and served this rod of the instrument of manifestation of the force who owns them, but, being a deprived of the source of the manifestation of this force (evolutionary qualities), he turned only into the reminder of the former deposit of Atlanta. Epicate said: "There is such a stick Hermes, toured it that you want. All that neither take it, be it skin, tree or something else, - everything will turn into gold. Yes, it is true. Give me a patient or dying, disasters or difficulties - all this I can transform stick Hermes. Great God who gave us this tool. "

The caducet rod is symbolically connected with the tree of life, the axis of the world and the golden path of development, and snakes - with a double spiral of the DNA - the evolutionary potential of human genetics. Snakes indicate the hidden dynamics in the fact that it is stable, symbolize the connection of the sky and land, a person and its essence, once the Divine, but due to the "poison", which caused the imbalance of development, lost (the wings on Kaducea also indicate the connection of the sky and land, spiritual and material). Everything that is born on Earth comes from the sky (planetary levels of our planet or other planets) and, after the path of development or degradation passes, will ensure certain life experience, should rise or to the "sky" and other lands or getting stuck forever for Reincarnations and passage of new tests and lessons, or even die by virtue of their ignorance.

In Alchemy, Caduceus is a symbol of the unity of fire and water that do not destroy each other. Unfortunately, the fire prisonered in alcohol or other narcotic substances leads an imperfect organism and the psyche to the imbalance, and the person loses the rationality, turning into an animal: "Snakes" begin to capture the human spirit. Caduceus and served as a reminder of

Caduceus reminds of the power of the essence that spreads its strength on the one who appeals to her with a prayer or request, opens up. It was important to always remember that not every entity has good intentions and will act in the interests of the aspecting, and if in the interests of one asking, then due to the damage of the interests of another or others. We should not forget about the law of conservation of energy ...

So, in Christianity, Caducea becomes the attribute of the Mother of God - Sofia, it can be seen with him in Orthodox iconography. Known, for example, icon Sofia Novgorodskaya. On ancient icons, she is in right hand It always holds a scepter (Caduceus), that is, a long white tree with a pointed end. Similar symbols were distributed in other ancient peoples (see urea will be called). With the XIX century, the image serves in a number of countries (for example, in the USA, USSR) symbol of medicine. Currently, one of the heraldic symbols of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for taxes and fees, which is very allegorically, since these taxes are not known where and to whom.

In the medieval semiosphere, Kaduchu became a symbol of "hermetic science" - alchemy. Subsequently, the universal emblem of occult sciences and esoteric was performed. Originally was the main symbol of medicine, until it was for some reason replaced by a bowl with a snake. Nevertheless, continues to be a sign of unconventional magical healing. The symbolism of two snakes could be interpreted as an ambivalent nature of medicine: the serpentine sting was used in medical practice, and as a poison, which activated the protective forces of the body and led to recovery.

Since Hermes performed by Mentor Eros, Caduceus also symbolized such qualities of the teacher as eloquence and reasonableness, or in general indicated pedagogy. To date, Caduceus serves as a symbol of trade and diplomacy. It was often used as a heraldic sign: attended, in particular, on the arms of the Kharkiv province. (five)

In the history and religion of Jews, Caduceus was known as the priestly rod of Aaron - this was the name of the attribute of the hero of Jewish high priests. This rod, having the form of caduce, was used in the Judaian dedication ceremony. Since ancient times it was believed that the power of sacred fire was concluded. Jews bought at the "whisper" of Yahweh and the symbol of the Divine Authority at the expense of others and the destruction of their essence for quite landed goals - material wealth.

This symbol is found in India, knocked out on Nagakals stone signs (Naga Kali), put out at the entrance to the temple. Researchers find Caduceus and in Mesopotamia: the God of Ninurta was depicted with a cracked two snakes with a rod.

In India, as I pointed up above, two snakes are Ida and Pingala. The rod is sushumna. The awakening of Kundalini leads to a breakthrough. Two wings are Ajna petals (two of them too). The knob at the very top of the rod - the discontinued Sakhasrara. However, despite this "explanation" in treatises about Kundalini, it is not reported that to achieve enlightenment it is necessary to possess the necessary evolutionary qualities that are being studied by millennia, departing in the memory of the essence of a particular person. Changing the world, developing a versatile, a person opens himself in a new quality - the quality of the God-man, which cannot be achieved mechanically, meditating or days sitting in Asani, if instead of developing and developing its essence, connect to the channel of other entities and start feeding them by squeezing your body and nervous The system, testing euphoria, instead of integrally developing ...

Mercury's rod looks like a narrowed to the bottom of the native, which twist two snakes with a pair of wings. After the Greeks called this rod "Kerykeion" - Kerikeyon, in Latin, he is called "Caduceos" - Caduceus.

The history of the symbol "Wand Mercury"

In one of the books of Homer, you can read about the legend in which Hermes and Apollo exchanged magic objects. He gave the Swirl, and in return received from Apollo Caduceus.
However, the Roman Empire existed another legend, according to itKerikeyon received Mercury as a gift from God Aida.
As follows from the legend of Mercury (Hermes) once passed near the oak, suddenly noticed a ball of snakes, who fought among themselves. Raine Hermes throws his caduceus where the wild fight occurs and the snakes immediately stopped playing. Doves from them who did not come up from a fierce fight. On the staff up and frozen looking at each other in the eyes. Amey remained fixed, and this rod Hermes presented her son named Nekhrik. According to the ancient Greek legends, it was from the tender. "

Since those ancient times, Mercury's rod personifies the symbol of the establishment of mutual understanding, peace and trade. Many nations Rod Kerikeyon provided protection to the mantle while at the enemy camp and was an indispensable attribute.

Although, of course, it is impossible to say that this symbol arose in ancient Greece, since there are irrefutable evidence of the existence of the caduceing in earlier historical times. For example, this symbol can be noticed on Egyptian buildings that were erected in honor of God Osirisa. This sign recently discovered at the entrance In one of the most ancient Indian temples.

Archaeologists have discovered the image of Kerikeyon in the drawings of God Ninurta from the ancient Mesopotamia. The investors suggest that in their hands ancient God Ninioret, Caduceus personifies a certain magic wand, which can revive and improve people only at one desire of the owner.

Many centuries passed and already in the era of revival, the rod of Mercury becomes the emblem of esoteric and occult science. At that time, Europe begins to explore the alchemical properties of all sorts of substances with enthusiasm, trying to get a philosopher's stone. The God of Hermes trismegist In his research on the creation of perfect drugs, Kaduchi becomes a symbol of medicine. Although after some time, it is replaced by a bowl symbol with a snake.

In our time, the Caduceus can be found on a huge number of coat of arms and heraldic signs. Mercury is depicted on the coat of arms of Yeniseisk, Kharkov, Feodosia, Ulan-Ude and many other cities and weights in Russia and the CIS. In the Russian Empire in the customs emblem, they were crossed Two caducees, and today on the FCS emblem you can see the torch crossed with the rod of Mercury. As the image of this symbol is located at the GSC of Ukraine, the CCI of Russia, the FTS of Russia.

The symbol of the power of Heads and the ancient Romans was the rod of Hermes (Mercury), or Kaduchus from the Greek language, is a sign of reconciliation and an element of diplomacy. In ancient peoples, he gave the race for a trip to the enemy camp to keep his life. Over time, the meaning of the sign has undergone some changes, and afterwards it has become a symbol of medicine.

History of origin

Based on the title, the symbol was devoted to Hermes Trismegist. According to the texts of the ancient Greek mythology, the son of Zeus accompanied the died in the Dark Kingdom of AID. The wand was needed to touch the brow of sleeping for the wake-up procedure. Later, Hermes became the God of Trade and the patron of merchants. He received a symbol of power from God of Apollo for the musical instrument LIRA. Hermes immediately experienced the power of the rod on two snakes, which fought with each other. They stopped competing and wrapped around the pole. So a familiar image of Caduceus appeared along with its main value "reconciliation".

To designate medical institutions, Hermes Mercury was adopted thanks to the achievements of the Renaissance. At that time, artists, writers and scientific figures showed a special interest in ancient culture, and an ancient symbolism partially moved into the scope of activities of doctors and creative minds. Although the most reliable theory is considered the ratio of the symbol to the era of the development of alchemical knowledge. It was Hermes who was considered a patron, so many alchemists put the rod of Mercury as a seal to their vessels.

Famous scientific achievements in the field of chemistry, Paracels, in the 16th century, used accumulated knowledge to prove his theory of chemical processes, thanks to which the human body is developing. So there was a system of using chemical elements in medicine, which made the pharmaceutics of which they know today. IN modern world The sign is interpreted as the emblem of medicine in a number of influential states, including the United States and France.

Rod Mercury Meaning and Features Interpretation

In a visual sense, it is a pole with small wings on top, around which two snakes are intertwined, like liana. In essence, they symbolize two opposites: light and darkness, good and evil. And the fact that they are united is a sign of abundance and health, personifying immortality and constant course of life, which will be able to overcome any diseases and adversity. This is a symbol of nature dualism.

Wings raise the meaning of the universe to heaven, they allow you to cross invisible obstacles of being and, according to the original sources, help to understand the origin of the kite. In Alchemy, this interpretation acquired a new face: two snakes became elements of chemical compositions, male sulfur and female mercury. The staff itself is used as a symbol of protection and peace. This is the attribute of power over people and events. Therefore, the wand can be seen in the hands of the Egyptian deity of Anubis, the Greek God Hermes, the Phoenician Waal - the Lord of the whole.

The rod also has its meaning: the right and left threads of mental energy. It is twisted around the pole to restore the equilibrium of the processes occurring in the body. From the point of view of metaphysics, this is a reality that flows into the illusion of sleep. Waking up, the object is returned to the real world. At the heart of his rod of the god trading Hermes is a symbol of wisdom, because Mercury is the God of trading activities in ancient Roman mythology, he was a mediator between the heavens of people, denied the last wisdom of the gods.

Using a rod like a talisman

Being an esoteric key to opening secretion, Caduceus has a mystical force. He does not just endow his head of health and the ability to go out of difficult situations with the help of diplomacy, but also serves as a conductor into the world of the dead. The protective properties of the emblem with the image of the sign is difficult to overestimate. This is a symbol of peace, mediation, trade and power. It allows its owner to get close to the power of natural forces and understand their divine beauty.

The one who wears the rod of God Hermes, endowed with the ability to move between this world and the heavenly kingdom, where the process of creation plays a key role in maintaining harmony of foundations: the body and spirit, the sky and the moon, the Sun and the Earth. Amulets and wubbles with engraved kadukem have a number of benefits:

Heal the owner from any ailments of a physical and mental nature. Help to overcome obstacles to wealth and prosperity. Protect the owner from the evil rock and the consequences of an unkind view (evil eye). Give wisdom and equilibrium in the affairs of everyday. Are an accomplice in trade and increase profits. Like the Chinese symbolism Yin-Yan, Caduceus is considered a cosmological symbol of the influence of the universe on the nature of dualism. In the occult sciences and esoteric teachings, he is in great demand among magicians.

To use the power of the sign, it is enough to apply its image to the base of yellow or white metal. It is this material that allows you to get the most positive effect from everyday wearing. Of course, it will be very difficult to make it, so it is possible to buy Hermes on the courts where they sell talismans and overalls.

The main thing is the correct, symmetric forms of the symbol and the geometric ratio of width and height. To understand how a sign should look like, it is enough to contact the ancient Greek images of the gods where you can find Hermes God. Interesting fact: Rod Mercury is used as a heraldry for the Federal Tax Service and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation, and was previously noticed on the emblem of the Claro Russia's Customs Service.

Many probably read the book Dan Brown "Da Vinci Code" will not talk now about its artistic component, but one of its basic ideas was that rather well-known symbols may have other importance than those used to thinking.
I decided to write a series of posts about all the famous symbolism and what value she had in different times And for different peoples.
Let's start with Kadua. Every one probably saw at the entrance to the hospital, on ambulance machines, on pharmaceutical preparations, a cup with a snake or a stick with the same snake around it. Sometimes two snakes are intertwined around this stick - this is a kazuchi.

Caduceus - an ancient indian symbol. Later he became a symbol of medicine. In Hinduism, he characterizes the fusion point of Ida and Pinghals (what is Ida and Pingala see below). They turn around the dry heat of the fire, which flows through the middle of the spine channel and represents them integration. In the West, Caduceus - Wand Hermes, God of Alchemy, which is a golden rod, blamed by two snakes, symbols of two integration of opposites, such as sulfur and mercury, heat and moisture, spirit and matter. They neutralize each other in the integrative gold rod.

Caduceus is the main dualism of the existence, which must be integrated into the unity of the stone of wisdom or the elixir of life. Therefore, Kaduchu is a symbol of equilibrium, which is achieved through the association of opposites. Symbolically, it can represent the internal conflict of biological and spiritual forces.

So appeared by Kodaca, with whom Hermes never parted. Kodtsa survived antiquity in the form of a staff used by bishops of the Greek Church. Hermes assisted the gods and heroes, and with simple mortals. He defeated herds of ordinary shepherds, accompanied the travelers, gave power and agility athletes, speed to the runners, helped the merchants to make a profit. In general, any diligent worker could receive support from him.

It symbolizes the connection with the Earth and the Road Staff, meaning the long weary of the doctor. Medical treatises of ancient India recommended a doctor to have a staff, because patients trusted more experienced and elderly people. Sushrute and Charak wrote about this.
