The Vesica Piscis: The Shape That Starts Everything
The Vesica Piscis is a geometric expression of what happens when two things — distinct, whole, each complete in themselves — choose to intersect. The two circles don't merge. They don't collapse into each other. They remain themselves, while creating something entirely new in the space between them.
Symbols and Sigils
In the world of the mystic arts, Jesus is revered as a teacher and an Ascended Master. For magicians and non-Christians, the symbol is ascribed to the Christ Consciousness – the awareness of a Divine Source or God, and the divinity that exists within us all. Crosses are commonly used in magic as symbols – I have used the Cross as the figure in some of my crystal gridwork, an emblem of sacrifice and consciousness and purity. The cross reminds us that there is a sacrifice to be made for the higher good – we release parts of ourselves as we progress in our magical workings and along the pathway to our higher divine genius.
