Triangle in religious and scientific interpretation

In Ancient Greece, Xenocrates of Calchedon, the head of the Platonic Academy, gave a funny interpretation to various triangles. He called the equilateral triangle, regardless of direction, divine, claiming that sacred harmony was embodied in it. He called the isosceles demonic and attributed to it inferiority, despite its apparent external harmony. The versatility of his interpretation was human and reflected the imperfections of human nature.

In the Pythagorean philosophical system, the Greek letter delta, due to its triangular shape, is considered a symbol of the creation of the cosmos.

In Ancient China, the triangle was a symbol of the feminine principle, and with hanging swords it symbolized restoration. In Tibetan Tantrism, the combination of two equilateral triangles in the form of a hexagram represented “the penetration of masculine fire into the feminine.”

In ancient Mexican manuscripts, the triangular symbol is a sign of the concept of “year”.

In Hinduism, it is a symbol of the female animal force - Durga.

In the early Christian era, the Manichaeans used the triangle as a symbol of the Trinity. However, later, an equilateral triangle with its apex pointing upward became the sign of God. The God of the Christian Trinity is represented by an eye inside a triangle or a figure with a triangular halo. The triangle has the same symbolism in Judaism.

In the religions of the Egyptians, Hindus, Celts, Scandinavians, Aztecs, Incas and many other peoples, the triangle could personify the triad of the main gods. The Egyptians, for example, associated the vertical side of the triangle with Osiris, the horizontal side with Isis, and the hypotenuse with their son Horus.

In Christian iconography, the three hypostases of God (God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit) that make up the Holy Trinity were depicted either in the form of an equilateral triangle or in the form of a triangle formed by three intersecting circles. Symbols of the triune Christian God were also a triangular halo and an eye in a triangle (the emblem of the “Eye of God”).

In Blue Freemasonry, the golden emblem of the “all-seeing eye of God” was replenished with an additional element of perfection - nine rays emanating from its center. As the "47th Problem of Euclid", the triangle is the symbol of the head of a Masonic lodge and the sign of a senior master.

In alchemy, two equilateral triangles with vertices pointing up and down signified fire and water, respectively. Taken together, they symbolized the unity of opposites: essence and substance, stability and variability, spirit and matter, etc.

In allegorical art, the triangle as a musical instrument belonged to the muse Erato, who performed lyrical songs to its accompaniment.

When casting ritual magic spells, the triangle also fits into the magic circle. The triangle sign can be veiledly interpreted as a trefoil (triple leaf clover), which is considered a symbol of the masculine gender.

Sacred figures - occult signs - cannot be contemplated with impunity (an inverted triangle is not like a straight one: an inverted one is self-consciousness turned to the spirit, a straight one - towards oneself); the contemplation of a triangle on a galosh, which we trample (a sign of the deity!) is a parody of the ritual: and it is not without reason that galoshes have long been stamped with this sign by the saints, and every day we trample in the dirt the powerful sign of the Divine. And this is the work of “their” hands...

The triangle symbol is often used for occult rituals in Western ceremonial magic, theurgy, ceremonial demonology, Satanism and some necromagic rituals.

The image of the occult triangle has the following sacred meaning:

– the triangle concentrates energy, symbolizes higher powers and their manifestation;

– the triangle manifests the summoned being within the drawn triangle, not allowing it to spread energy beyond its boundaries;

– each side of the triangle means a being that contributes to the manifestation of energy;

– the triangle is used to facilitate contact with the creature, as well as to offer tribute to it. In this case, the triangle works like a lens, helping to transform the three-dimensional space we are familiar with into a four-dimensional one.

Triangular symbols of the four elements

In addition, the triangle is often used at intermediate stages of occult rituals.

XXVI. Using a magical weapon, draw the Hexagram of Fire in the east, saying: “ARARITA.”

This hexagram consists of two equilateral triangles with their vertices facing upward. Start at the top of the top triangle and draw it clockwise. Then select the vertex of the second triangle and draw it clockwise. The top of the lower triangle should coincide with the center of the upper one.

XXVII. Draw the Hexagram of the Earth in the south, saying: “ARARITA.”

In this hexagram, the apex of the lower triangle faces down, so it can be drawn in one circular motion.

XXVIII. Draw the Hexagram of Air in the west, saying: “ARARITA.”

This hexagram resembles the Earth hexagram, but the bases of the two triangles coincide here, forming a rhombus.

XXIX. Draw the Hexagram of Water in the north, saying: “ARARITA.”

In this hexagram, the lower triangle is placed above the upper one so that their vertices coincide.

The magic triangle of Christian theosophists is the famous “abracadabra”, to which they attributed extraordinary properties. When used as a magical formula, this word was usually inscribed or arranged in an inverted triangle (RATP) as follows.

For this universal principle of Hermetic philosophy, alchemists used a cross (a symbol of the material world) and a triangle with an upward point - a hieroglyph of the element of fire - as a sign.

In Soviet times, the triangle was a badge of honor for junior commanders of the Red Army. One triangle designated the flight commander; two triangles - the commander of a squad, crew, light tank or armored car; three triangles - an assistant platoon commander, and four triangles - a foreman of a company, battalion, battery, division or deputy political instructor.

The triangle is also widely used in the modern system of emblems. Road warning signs in the form of triangles with a border, technical signs (exclamation mark in a triangle, zigzag lightning in a triangle) that warn of a possible danger or attract attention.

In Ethiopia, the double triangle (hexagram) is an element of high state awards - the Order of the Queen of Sheba and the Order of the Seal of Solomon.

Riddle: How many equilateral triangles are there on the famous seal of King Solomon, depicted on his tomb?

Bermuda Triangle and other triangular zones

The Bermuda Triangle is one of the most mystical and sinister manifestations of sacred geometry today. The “Bermuda Triangle” was first called the “Bermuda Triangle” by the American journalist V. Geddis in 1964.

A similar “triangle” in the Pacific Ocean around Mayake Island, just 100 km from Tokyo, is called the Devil’s Triangle by the Japanese, because ships and planes also disappear in it.

These two triangles are part of the so-called “Devil's Belt”, which includes six anomalous zones equidistant at 66,666 km from each other, encircling the globe along 30° north latitude. In addition to the Bermuda and Devil's triangles, these include Stonehenge (a stone megalithic structure in Wiltshire, England), the Gibraltar wedge (a rustling whistle of unknown purpose, which occurs every 4-5 weeks and lasts up to 8 hours, drives many travelers crazy); Algeria, a triangular section of the Great Western Erg desert, an acute angle - a wedge - directed towards the Strait of Gibraltar, the Afghan anomalous zone (eastern regions of Afghanistan, on the border with Pakistan, where UFOs are often observed in the form of bright red balls, which incinerate a person when approaching them and animals) and the Hawaiian Anomaly (rogue waves up to 40 m high rise north of the Sandwich Islands 5–6 times a month).

24. Triangle of Death More than a thousand people have disappeared in the famous Bermuda Triangle over the years. Their bodies were never found, nor was their luggage, and nothing was ever heard from them. This fact is difficult to explain by chance. What happens in the devil's triangle

The All-Seeing Eye symbol is one of the most ancient signs. In one form or another it was used in the religions of many peoples. The eye in a triangle, depicted on various objects for sacred rites, is still found by archaeologists in different parts of the planet. What significance did the Eye of God amulet have in ancient times, why it is called the “Masonic sign” and how it is used now, we suggest you find out below.

There is a theory that the Eye of God sign appeared more than 6 thousand years ago. The symbol in different religions was depicted in two versions:

  1. Drawing of the divine eye inside an equilateral triangle. The rays diverge from the triangle itself. This option belongs to the Egyptian culture, called the “Eye of Horus”.
  2. The eye is depicted not inside the figure, but at the top of the triangle.

The symbol is found on various objects that have come down to us from antiquity.

According to some sources, the ancient symbol of eyes in a triangle protects a person from evil in the form of mental and physical illnesses. He also has the power of healing.

Other sources claim that the amulet promotes the development of the art of clairvoyance, helps reveal lies, and attracts positive energy. The sign also helps you to understand your inner world, determine your purpose, be firm and not deviate from your decisions.

In Egyptian culture

Eye of Horus with eyebrow.

In Egyptian culture, the sign was a designation of the powerful god Horus. The legends said that Horus had extraordinary eyes: the left eye was the Moon, and the right eye was the Sun. He watched around the clock what was happening between people all over the earth, and nothing could escape his piercing gaze.

In Buddhism

In Buddhism there was also a hieroglyph similar to the Egyptian sign of the Eye of Horus. The meaning of this image came down to wisdom and true knowledge. The person who wore an amulet with the image of a sign could open the way to the truth.

There is also a legend in Buddhism that says: “Whoever owns the Eye amulet can look into the future.”

The phrase "Third Eye" comes from Buddhism. Its meaning– “Open the opportunity to see the truth».

In the countries of the East

Among the eastern peoples, the designation of the Eye of Horus symbol is similar to the Egyptian one: the image of the conjunction of the Sun and the Moon. The solar star watched people in the light of day, and the Moon watched at night.

In ancient Greece

The ancient Greeks also used the symbol of the All-Seeing Eye. In their religion, it acquired the meaning of the union of Zeus and Apollo. An amulet with an image similar to the Eye of Horus gave its owner the ability to true knowledge and opened his soul to divine insight. In addition to this, the amulet was believed to ward off evil spirits with its light.

Among the peoples of North America

The Indians, who in ancient times lived on the lands of America, also had a magical hieroglyph similar to the Egyptian Eye of Horus. In their culture, the sign embodied the Eye of the Great Spirit. They sincerely believed that the Spirit was watching them through the image of the eye.

According to some theories, the Americans liked the meaning of the ancient symbol so much that they began to depict it on the dollar bill in order to attract the patronage of Gore and receive his blessing for the development of the country.

The image of the magic sign is still printed on the dollar. It is interesting that this idea was later adopted by the Ukrainians - the design of an eye in a triangle, outlined by a circle, is found on the 500 hryvnia banknote.

Americans believe that the sign came from the Freemasons, has magical powers, and denotes wisdom.

Historical reference. The Masonic movement was organized by ordinary construction workers. Their drawing looked like this: a triangle with an eye inside, next to it was an image of a construction trowel, and in the corners at the top of the sign were the sun and the moon. The symbol was surrounded by a circular circle. For Freemasons, a triangle with an eye signifies intelligence and divine insight.

Amulet of the Eye of Horus in modern times

The Eye of Horus amulet will protect its owner from evil.

Nowadays, the amulet is used as a talisman to protect against evil. Psychics and magicians also use it for rituals. Basically, these rituals are associated with communication with the other world.

To use the talisman you need to activate it:

  • when there is no one at home, prepare a suitable atmosphere: turn off the lights, light candles, place the amulet in front of you;
  • Next, you need to prepare yourself: relax, focus on the amulet and mentally imagine the area in which the help of the ancient deity is needed - for example, work or harmony in the family;
  • Charge the amulet with your thoughts for a few minutes, without being distracted by extraneous topics.

The Eye of Horus amulet must be carried with you at all times, preferably invisibly to others. Most often, the talisman is worn in the form of a pendant on a cord behind the collar of a shirt.

How to use the All-Seeing Eye amulet

The amulet in the form of the All-Seeing Eye gives a good effect for personal use in the form of an amulet, embroidery on clothes or a tattoo on the body. Most often it is worn as decoration - in the form of a pendant or pendant.

Some people purchase interior items (paintings, figurines) with the image of a magical symbol in order to protect their home from evil forces. But in this case, the mark has less force than in conditions of individual use.

Meaning of an eye tattoo in a triangle

A tattoo depicting an eye inside a regular triangle carries the meaning of wisdom, enormous mental and physical strength, and the desire to study the truth. Suitable for everyone without exception. Most often, tattoos with the Eye of Horus are done by magicians to strengthen their energy and open the entrance to the other world.

Those wishing to get such a tattoo need to know some of the nuances of the location of the design on the body:

  • women put the symbol on their shoulders or back;
  • if a girl gets a tattoo of the All-Seeing Eye on her wrist, this may mean she belongs to a gay person;
  • men also wear tattoos on their shoulders and back, and can easily be tattooed on their wrists.

For different genders, the meaning of a tattoo in the form of the All-Seeing Eye is slightly different:

  1. Girls use this drawing to express their mystery and mystique. Also, the eye helps the owners of such a tattoo to strengthen their intuition.
  2. Men who wear tattoos declare their strength, both physical and spiritual.

An eye tattoo in a triangle should be done with great care. Intertwined with the energy of an individual person, the ancient symbol manifests itself in different ways. It gives each tattoo owner individual abilities and enhances different character traits.

The triangle is one of the first geometric figures that began to be used in the ornaments of ancient peoples. In Ancient Egypt, it was rectangular and was the embodiment of the triad of spiritual will, love and the higher mind of man.

The triangle is a symbol of the triune nature of the universe: Heaven, Earth, Man; father, mother, child; man as body, soul and spirit; mystical number three; three, the first of the flat figures. Hence the symbol of the surface in general. The surface consists of triangles (Plato).

An equilateral triangle symbolizes completion.

In the Ancient East, the triangle was revered as symbol of the nature of all things. A triangle with a vertex connected to the same geometric figure was used by pharmacies as an emblem of the time cycle.

The hermeneutic tradition knows many types of triangles with different interpretations.

Tara Yantra

Downward facing triangle, is lunar and has the symbolism of the feminine, womb, water, cold, nature, body, yoni, shakti. Symbolizes the Great Mother as a parent. The horizontal line is the ground; its color is white. In the symbolism of the mountain and the cave, the mountain is a male triangle facing upward, and the cave is a female triangle facing downwards. In many goddess yantras, a triangle with a point downward is placed in the middle.

Triangle pointing up, is solar and has the symbolism of life, fire, flame, heat (hence the horizontal line symbolizing air), masculinity, lingam, shakta, spiritual world; it is also the trinity of love, truth and wisdom. Denotes royal grandeur and has the color red as its symbol.

Hexagram. When it is superimposed on the sign of the feminine principle described above, we get the Hindu emblem of the unification of the creative and generative principles - a hexagram.

In the Indian tradition, such a symbol was also interpreted as a sign of the love of the gods for everything earthly. In Europe, this geometric figure was known as the Star of David.

A triangle inscribed in a circle represents the world of forms contained in the circle of eternity. Plutarch, describing this geometric figure, called the space limited by the sides of the triangle the plain of truth, on which the images of everything that was and will be are located. Triangles can also act as a lunar symbol, then they are positioned horizontally and their vertices touch. The common point of these triangles symbolically denotes death and the new moon.

In the Buddhist tradition, two interlocking triangles represent pure flame and the Three Jewels of the Buddha.

Trinity and triangle

Since the early Christians, the triangle has been a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The equilateral triangle was interpreted as the equality and single divine essence of God the Father, God the Son and the Holy Spirit. Sometimes this symbol was made up of three intertwined fish. The symbol of the Trinity, according to Catholic tradition, was composed of three small triangles inscribed in one large one with circles on the tops. These three circles mean trinity, but each circle is independent and perfect in itself. This diagram illustrated the principle of trinity and at the same time the individuality of each component of the Holy Trinity.

Seal of Solomon

The Seal of Solomon is another name for David, formed by superimposing two triangles on top of each other, i.e. hexagrams. According to legend, King Solomon used this sign to control the spirits enclosed in a copper vessel. It is believed that the Seal of Solomon is a powerful amulet that can protect its owner from the influence of evil spirits.

Kepler's triangle

At the beginning of the 17th century. The famous astronomer Kepler compiled a diagram of the conjunction of the planets Saturn and Jupiter. This is what is called in astronomy the arrangement of the planets in which for an earthly observer the ecliptic longitudes are equal to zero, and the celestial bodies themselves are close to each other or even overlap. Kepler presented this phenomenon in the form of a triangle that rotates around the zodiacal circle, completing a full revolution every 2400 years.

Triangle in ancient architecture

In the ancient tradition, a triangle with its apex facing upward symbolized the desire of matter for spirit. Therefore, the pediments of ancient Greek temples in ancient times were made triangular and decorated in every possible way. Unlike later, more northern European buildings, the presence of a gable roof was not caused by climatic conditions. Ancient Greece had a warm climate and there was no snow in winter.

Triangles on vessels

In the Neolithic era, among early agricultural peoples, triangles in ornaments symbolized air, earth and fire. They are one of the most ancient symbols associated with agricultural work, nature and its calendar cycles.

Triangulum constellation

The exact origin of the name of this constellation is unknown. It got its name in the Ancient East; Phoenician sailors knew it and used it in navigation. For them, it symbolized a sacred pyramid-shaped stone. The Triangulum was one of the 48 classical constellations of antiquity. The ancient Greeks believed that this was the Nile Delta transferred to the sky, which indicates the Egyptian roots of the name of the constellation. Already in modern times, the constellations of the Southern Triangle and the Angle were identified in the starry sky.

Eye in a triangle

The symbol, graphically representing an eye inscribed in a triangle, called the “eye of providence” or the “all-seeing eye,” appeared in Europe in the 17th century. It is believed to go back to the solar eye of Horus of the ancient Egyptians. This sign became widespread in Baroque architecture, decorating the pediments of luxurious Catholic churches. In the 19th century, it also appeared on Orthodox churches, for example, on the pediment of the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg. Christianity viewed it as a symbol of the Holy Trinity. At the same time, this symbol was also used by Freemasons, who interpreted it as a symbol of the absolute, enlightenment and higher knowledge. For Masons, the “eye of providence” is located above the chair of the master of the lodge, in order to thus remind of the wisdom of the Creator that permeates all mysteries.

A triangle in a circle signifies the world of forms contained in the circle of eternity. The area within such a triangle is the common center of them all and is called the Plain of Truth, on which are the cause, forms and images of everything that was and what will be; they remain there in peace, which cannot be disturbed, and Eternity surrounds them; and from here time, like the stream of a fountain, flows down into the worlds (Plutarch).

Three connected triangles denote the inviolable unity of the three persons of the Trinity.

The double triangle, the six-pointed star, the Seal of Solomon, Mogun David, says that every true analogy must be used in reverse, as above, so below. It is a union of opposites, male and female, positive and negative, with the upper triangle white and the lower black, fire and water, evolution and involution, interpenetration, everything is the image of the other, hermaphrodite, the perfect balance of complementary forces, the androgynous manifestation of the deity, man peering into its own nature, the dual forces of creation, the synthesis of all elements, with the triangle facing upward as a heavenly symbol, and facing downward as an earthly symbol, and together - a symbol of man, as uniting these two worlds. As the Seal of Solomon is the image of the Preserver; it gives spiritual power over matter and is the lord of the jinn.

Two triangles lying horizontally and touching their vertices are a lunar symbol, the waxing and waning Moon, eternal return, death and life, dying and resurrection. The point of contact is the new moon and death. Alchemists have two triangles - essence and substance, forma and materia, spirit and soul, sulfur and mercury, stable and changeable, spiritual force and bodily existence.

The triangles symbolizing are:

fire (pointing up),
water (top facing downwards),
air (facing the truncated apex upward),
ground (facing the truncated top down).

The Chinese the triangle with hanging swords symbolizes restoration.

Christians An equilateral triangle or triangle formed by three intersecting circles symbolizes the Trinity in the unity and equality of its three constituent persons. Triangular radiance is an attribute of God the Father.

The Egyptians the triangle symbolizes the Triad. They compare the vertical side (of a right triangle) with a man, the horizontal with a woman, and the hypotenuse with their descendants: Osiris as the beginning, Isis as the middle or storehouse, and Horus as the completion (Plutarch). The hand of the Egyptians is the union of fire and water, man and woman. The figure of three double triangles surrounded by concentric circles symbolizes Khui, the Land of Spirits.

Among the Greeks delta symbolizes the door of life, the feminine principle, fertility.

The Indians the triangles facing up and down are Shakta and Shakti, Lingam and Yoni, Shiva and his Shakti.

Among the Pythagoreans The equilateral triangle symbolizes Athena as the goddess of wisdom.

Aztecs used the image of a triangle with the apex at the top, connected to an inverted triangle, as a symbol of the time cycle, o The Triangle combined with the cross forms the alchemical sign of Sulfur. Inverted, it means the completed Great Work.

An equilateral triangle, symbolizing, according to the Hebrew tradition, perfection, among Christians means Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Masons the triangle symbolizes the Triplicity of the cosmos, and its sides are Light, Darkness and Time (base).

The triangle seen in a dream symbolizes the mother's womb of the cosmos.

In Ancient China the triangle is a “symbol of the feminine”, but does not play a significant role in speculative reasoning. In Tibetan Tantrism, the combination of two equilateral triangles in the form of a hexagram represents “penetration of the feminine by masculine fire.”

In Judaism and Christianity triangle is a sign of God. The God of the Christian Trinity is sometimes represented by an eye within a triangle or a figure with a triangular halo. Alchemists used triangles with points pointing up and down to represent fire and water. More generally, linear triangles or triangle-shaped compositions can represent triads of gods or other tripartite concepts.

Magic triangle Christian Theosophists have the famous “abracadabra”, to which they attributed extraordinary properties. When used as a magical formula, the word was usually inscribed in or arranged as an inverted triangle.

San jiao fu, or "Triangle Spell", is a piece of paper on which spells are written, folded into the shape of a triangle.

Gnostic amulets were varied in shape: triangular, rectangular, fire - Tejas - red - green - triangle.

Unions - all paired oppositions, perfect circle, intersecting circles, double triangle, androgyne, trees with intertwined branches, unicorn horn, yin-yang, lingam and yoni.

The geometric symbolism of space plays an important role in architecture: all round shapes express the idea of ​​the sky, the square is the earth, the triangle symbolizes the interaction between the earth and the sky.

The All-Seeing Eye is a symbol that has been used by many cultures and communities over time, so there is really no single graphic formula that describes this sign.

It is sometimes called "the all-seeing eye of God", "the all-seeing eye in the triangle", there are many variations, but in fact the name has no meaning. The generally accepted (in fact, the most common) version of the symbol is an eye (it is impossible to determine whether it is left or right), surrounded by rays (the rays are directed only to the sides and down) and often “inscribed” in an equilateral triangle. The all-seeing eye (we will look at its meaning below) is called the Window of Conduct in Christianity, and among the Masons it is called the radiant delta. But both use the same symbol, and the etymology is also similar.

The all-seeing eye (photo, various “variations” of the symbol are shown below) first “appears” at the beginning of the 14th century (approximately from 1510 to 1515). Fleming Jan Provost paints the canvas “Allegory of Christianity”, in which we see the canonical all-seeing eye. The meaning of the allegory in the context of the painting still remains a topic of much debate. Later, the Order of the Carthusians commissions another Italian painter (Jacopo Pontromo) to create a very specific canvas, which depicts only the all-seeing eye. The sketch (or finished painting) dates back to 1525.

It is worth mentioning separately such a thing as the “All-Seeing Eye of God” icon. It is difficult to say when such an icon was first painted (the oldest Russian examples apparently date back to the end of the 19th century). However, it is known that a similar symbol was used in Byzantine icon painting back in the 6th century, from where it apparently came to Rus', although much later - “variants” of the icon appeared in Russian churches only in the 18th century. Thus, the icon “The All-Seeing Eye of God” does not have an author; it is impossible to determine its origin, although modern theologians are sure that the image is associated with the corresponding lines from the Holy Scripture: “Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those who fear Him and trust in His mercy” (Psalm 32: 18).

For many, this question related to the “All-Seeing Eye” icon is especially relevant: what does this image help with? Church polemicists say that “this image” is universal, that is, the icon of the “All-Seeing Eye” (“God’s Eye”) is capable of giving a person strength and help in any situation. But you need to understand that the canonical version of the icon differs significantly from what was described above. On the Christian canvas there is not one “eye”, but four; other parts of the face (nose, mouth) are also present; in the center there is an image of a person, from whom four rays diverge symmetrically to the sides. All these symbols are enclosed in a circle, and there are also many other elements on the icon that there is no point in describing here. That is, in fact, these are quite different symbols - the traditional (as they say now, Masonic) all-seeing eye and the “All-Seeing Eye” icon. How this icon actually helps is an interesting question, and, of course, there is no adequate answer to it.


But the Christian icon “The All-Seeing Eye of God” is, as mentioned above, only a “variation”, although in churches (not only Russian) you can find images of the desired symbol that are more consistent with the “original”. At the same time, the “official” version of the interpretation is as follows: the “eye” itself is the image of God who sees everything that happens on earth, the “rays” are the divine presence, and the triangle is the embodiment of the principle of the Holy Trinity (Father-Son-Spirit). That is, in Christianity, the all-seeing eye (the pictures are presented below) is not represented by a single form; there are a number of similar images that have a very specific interpretation. But it is unlikely that, say, the Masons or the same semi-mythical Illuminati would attach a similar meaning to this image. Or not?..

It must be said that the Masons have an all-seeing eye - a symbol that is also associated with God, but not with the Christian one. More precisely, in context, it is fair to mention the term “creator,” and the Masons themselves say “Great Architect of the Universe.” The Masonic Radiant Delta was first mentioned by William Preston in 1772 in Illustrations of Freemasonry. This is the official Masonic symbol, which is necessarily present in the lodge premises, above the presiding venerable master, in its eastern part. Among the Masons, the symbol “all-seeing eye” has the following interpretation: the “eye” is actually the Great Architect of the Universe, the “triangle” is the personification of the principle of trinity, but this is not the Christian trinity. In Masonic numerology (which is based on the numerology of Pythagoras), the number 3 is the number of the spirit, the number of the one who has risen above both the feelings and the mind, the number of the universe, one might say, the most sacred. At the same time, the “eye” itself is also a symbol of wisdom, and sometimes it is replaced by the letter “G”, the interpretation of which depends on the specific degree (level of initiation in msonry).

Now let’s just list a few of the most famous places and events with which the “all-seeing eye” symbol is directly associated. In 1789, the all-seeing eye appeared on the original “Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen” (if anyone doesn’t know, this document was developed and signed following the results of the Great French Revolution). In 1782, this symbol (its canonical version) appeared on the Great Seal of the United States (on its reverse side). In Russia, during the reign of Peter I, the all-seeing eye was depicted on battle banners (“Symbolism of the banners of Peter’s time” by K.K. Mamaev). We have already mentioned Russian icons with this symbol; all that remains is to make a reference to the Wadjet symbol (aka “Eye of Horus” or “Eye of Ra”), which took place in ancient Egyptian culture (where the roots of this image probably come from).

Moreover, in Ancient Egypt, Wadjet (the left eye of Horus) was personified with the Moon; it had a whole range of meanings - from royal power to fertility (this is a fairly broad topic, which will be devoted to a separate material). Some researchers believe that the “all-seeing eye” symbol was borrowed by Europeans from the culture of Ancient Egypt. But, firstly, the canonical all-seeing eye is still significantly different from Wadget graphically, and secondly, how exactly this symbol got to Byzantium (and it was there, if we take only Europe, it first appeared) from Egypt is unknown.

The all-seeing eye in a triangle is a controversial symbol. Many interpret it as a sign of world domination, and it is in this vein that this symbol is found in various documents telling about the “world conspiracy theory” (most of these documents, of course, have no historical or cultural significance). Also today you can often find an all-seeing eye tattoo. The meaning of such a tattoo can be interpreted in different ways, but one thing is clear: putting such an ambiguous (and, apparently, still esoteric) symbol on your body is the height of stupidity. And in general, the all-seeing eye (tattoo, pendant or signet) is clearly not an accessory that makes sense to use as a talisman or to put your own sacred meaning into it. He was never a talisman, never performed protective functions. On American banknotes, for example, the all-seeing eye is located above a pyramid with thirteen levels (the symbol of the 13 first American states), and around it along the perimeter are the words “annuity coeptis,” which means “it is favorable to our undertakings.” What is meant here by the word “it” is an interesting question. The eye of the creator (the same Architect) or something else? There is no one to answer this question, although it is believed that the pyramid here is a symbol of progress, and the eye on its top is either a “bright future” (probably embodied in the notorious American dream), or (which is more likely) a symbol of control, a group (? ), which directs and manages this very progress.

One way or another, the all-seeing eye (it’s not at all difficult to buy an image of it in our time) is undoubtedly one of the oldest esoteric symbols that literally “stitches through” world history. Modern mystics say that we have before us that same “third eye,” symbolizing enlightenment, the ability to “see the truth,” in other words, to see the world as it really is. And yet, analyzing the facts (the above are quite sufficient, fully describing the “scale” of the use of the desired symbol), comparing events and images, it is not difficult to come to the conclusion that theories about a certain “world government”, about the “Illuminati” and “ black aristocracy" may be much closer to reality than we would like. On the other hand, this is just speculation, and perhaps it’s better for everyone.

The eye in a triangle is perhaps the most mysterious sign in culture. This symbol is shrouded in an aura of mystery, but despite this, it is quite often found in the world around us. Some call it Masonic, and some call it primordially Christian, but it is still impossible to reliably say where it came from in the various cultures of the inhabitants of the Earth.

The mystery of different cultures

History and the “All-Seeing Eye,” as the symbol is sometimes called, goes back centuries. Repeatedly a one-eyed sign, from which it is not possible to determine which organ of vision is depicted in the picture, right or left, came across to researchers in such cultures as:

  • American;
  • Buddhist;
  • Egyptian;
  • Celtic;
  • German-Scandinavian.

The ancient inhabitants of America, the Indians, believed and still believe that a triangle with an eye means the all-seeing eye of the supreme spirit, which vigilantly monitors all the actions of people on earth. Buddhists believe that a triangle with an eye inside symbolizes enlightenment and divine light. It was from the followers of this religious orientation that the expression “third eye” came, applied to enlightened people with various superpowers.

For example, in Ancient Egypt, the meaning of the eye in a triangle had several interpretations. Basically, the symbol was considered the eye of the mighty Ra, the sun god, and meant the following:

  • wisdom;
  • dexterity;
  • light;
  • concentration.

Similar symbolism is also found as the eye of the god Horus, under whose patronage all the famous pharaohs of Egypt ruled the country. In this context, it was believed that the sign endows a person with wisdom, justice, spirituality and secret knowledge. By applying it to various objects, the priests believed that the eye of the Horus would unhinderedly guide the owner to the afterlife.

The Celts considered the symbol to be the personification of the Sun god and depicted him in places of worship of the Sun. And in German-Scandinavian mythology, the eye in the triangle symbolized the eye of Odin, the patron saint of wars and victories. It was also believed that this symbol helped sailors to chart the right course and not go astray.

Freemasons and the US dollar

In modern life, this mysterious symbol is considered a sign of the Masonic organization. The "Masons", who were the Knights Templar before their separation from the Christian Church in the 16th century, chose the image of an eye in a triangle as their talisman. Members of the secret organization call it the symbol of the “Great Architect of the Universe,” or the “Radiant Delta.”

The creators of the lodge took the image of the “All-Seeing Eye” from the Gospel of John, and all participants in the organization “Freemasons”, as the Illuminati are also called, or Freemasons have always been and remain Christians.

In the secret society itself, “Radiant Delta” means the following:

  • absolute knowledge;
  • a truth that cannot be hidden;
  • creator of the Universe;
  • light conquering darkness.

Sometimes, instead of an eye, the Latin letter “G” is depicted in an isosceles triangle, which is the first sign in the English word “God”, which means God. If the center of the image speaks of the presence of a higher power that controls what is happening, then the sides of the geometric figure themselves in the digital value give 3, which is also very symbolic for the Illuminati, since 3 is the number of the Spirit.

An interesting fact is that the Radiant Delta symbol can be found on US dollars. There he is depicted above an unfinished pyramid with 13 steps. Some conspiracy theorists confidently claim that the eye and the Egyptian tomb appeared on the banknotes for a reason. The image is intended to influence people and contribute to the prosperity of the country to which the currency belongs.

On the dollar, the Illuminati symbol indicates the number of colonies that are part of the United States, and the fact that the pyramid is not completed indicates that the state has room to develop. The “all-seeing eye” at the top symbolizes control and world order, and the rays in which the Masonic sign is depicted indicate limitless influence.

The inscription above the pyramid states that the activities of the state are legal and have received blessings from higher powers. The words under the Egyptian building on the banknote say that a new world order has arrived for many centuries.

Since the Masons themselves originate in Christianity, we can confidently say that the “All-Seeing Eye” can fully be considered a symbol of God. And the green color of this currency indicates constantly renewed monetary energy, which ensures constant profit.

Christian symbol

It is noteworthy that an interesting ancient symbol is also found in Orthodoxy. An eye in a triangle can be found in ancient Christian churches and on icons of saints. Since ancient times, the image of antiquity has been ascribed positive qualities and called a sign of God. In religion, it denotes the watchful eye of God and the Trinity, each side of the triangle unites God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit.

There is even an icon that bears the very telling name “The All-Seeing Eye.” It depicts Jesus Christ in the center, above him the Virgin Mary, and above the Mother of God the Creator himself in his three forms. In the rays extending from the center, where the Son of God is depicted among numerous eyes, are the apostles, who wrote 4 books of the Gospel. And on the left and right they usually depict seraphim with parchment scrolls.

Quite often, the image contains rings of three colors, namely red, green and blue. Inside each of them are inscribed certain prayer words that have their own sacred meaning.

This rather unusual icon appeared relatively recently by historical standards, about 300 years ago. The image of saints on it is intended to protect people and remind them of the ubiquitous divine presence and intervention.

Decoration and amulet

A triangle with an eye inside can be depicted on the body these days; many tattoo fans have decided to decorate their body with the “All-Seeing Eye” symbol. Such popularity of such a tattoo is explained by the mystical aura of mystery around the symbol of antiquity. Some of its owners claim that after applying the image to their body, their lives changed dramatically, and they began to feel more confident in various situations.

The symbol is considered a rather powerful talisman that will help in achieving the intended goal. However, experts warn that not everyone can bear its energy and, in particular, it is not recommended to place a figurine with the “All-Seeing Eye” or a painting with its image in the house. Such a composition is best suited for an office, and to help implement the plan, the owner of the sign should position it looking at the target.

Masonic-Christian symbols can also be found on the coats of arms of various cities around the world. For example, a triangle with an eye inside can be seen in Belarus, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Ukraine and the USA. In addition to the dollar, the image of the Great Eye is on banknotes of Ukraine and Estonia.

Whatever the name of the symbol, its meaning still remains unclear. Researchers of antiquity are alarmed by the fact that initially, being a secret sign, in the modern world it has become widespread and recognizable.
