What Is Akasha
When first hearing the word Akasha, I thought of Anne Rice's character in "Queen of the Damned" but that is just a character and not what Akasha is at all. Akasha is the fifth element that is the binding force of all of the elements. It is also just called Spirit. Akasha can be defined as: " the immutable, changeless source of all energy".
It is the most used of all of the elements because it is found in all of the elements so each time one of the elements is used you are also using Akasha. In fact Akasha is found in everything everywhere, including us and some say it is the spark in our soul. It is the record of all that has happened and all that might be so any spell we do cannot be reviersed without some change that took place. It is

Spirit is both male and female and it's said to be the mother of the other four elements. The Gods that represent it are Akasha, Iao, and JHVH. The Goddesses that represent it are Isis and Shekinah. The colors that represent it are purple and black. Purple represents the psychic abilities and black because it is the combination of all colors. Some see it as also being the color white since it is timeless and pure essence.The symbol for Akasha is the star which one of the oldest symbols that man has ever used. On the pentagram the top point represents the spirit which is Akasha, and the circle around the pentagram also is said to represent it because it pulls all of the elements together. It is the spark of inspiration that is in all of us, it gives us hindsight and foresight and it never judges. It gives us our hopes for tomorrows and promises of the furture. We can not control it but it is with us in everything we do, and with each intention we send forth. It has no form, taste or smell so some have difficuties connecting with it. But with each action we take we use the energy of Akasha since it is in everything of this world and beyond. We all

    Some objects in the painting are a pregnant woman, a burning candle, a skull, and a cross lying on the table under some books. The way the woman’s head is rested on her hand and she is staring into the candle light, shows that she is in deep thought. I believe that the woman is reflecting upon her life. She looks to be pregnant, which represents life. The unity of…

    Circle In Lakota

    • 1923 Words

    Being round, it symbolizes the whole universe and the sound (pulse) of the srum represents the throbbing at the center of the universe (69). The sun is also represented here as the "sun wise" direction, hence sun dance. In the sun dance they paint a black circle on their faces in order to remember Wakan Tanka, just like the circle has no end (92). The Lakota religion also uses objects in their rites that they prpepare before going into the difeerent lodges. When scouting for a place to erect the lodge, they chose the spot, return to camp, and immediatley circle around the place where it is to be built, in a clockwise manner (73). In this example, Kablaya (the first "sun-dancer"), explains the meaning of the object use. "You should prepare a necklace of otter skin, and from it there should hang a circle with a cross in the center" (71). Kablaya also mentions that in doing so, the cross and circle represent the four Powers of the universe and four ages. Another object includes round rawhide circles that represent the sun and earth (also round), and the heavens (sky), in which the men wear on their chest. At the center of the first rawhide circle should be a blue round circle, which represents Wakan-Tanka, and the earth represented by the red circle. Lastly, one blue circle is for the heavans (72). I would also like to mention her that, in the sun dance there is an altar. In the center of the lodge is the pole where a pinch of dirt (earth) is lifted up and some is placed evenly around the pole in a circle, which represents all that is sacred and in the universe…

    Symbolism is used to provide meaning to the writing beyond what is actually being described. The short story “Young Goodman Brown” is a perfect example of symbolism, the story is completely symbolic. The major symbol throughout the story is his wife Faith. She puts pink ribbons in her hair to display her faith. The pink ribbons on Faith’s cap is a mixture of white for purity and scarlet for sin. At the beginning of the story Faith is characterized as pure and innocent. However, in the forest her sexuality and flaws come out, she loses it which shows that she is losing her innocence to the Coven. The forest symbolizes more of the struggle of innocence and evil rather than one or the other. He is being enticed by the forest. The staff that transports…

    The Amesha Spentas are spirits that are said to protect the world from Angra Mainyu and his evil doings. Three of these spirits are masculine and another three are feminine, for a total of six spirits. Vohu Manah is the spirit of good thoughts. Asha Vahishta is the spirit of truth and righteousness; the path of Asha leads to blessings and ultimately salvation. Kshatra Vairya is the spirit that represents the power of God. Aramaic is the spirit of love and generosity. Haurvatat is the spirit of perfection and ecstasy. These spirits also represent the elements.

It is customary to place a corpse in a structure called a Dakhma. This structure has four walls and no roof, to allow the bodies to be eaten by vultures, rodents, and everything else…

    From a biblical standpoint of view it tells us that we come from God and that our personality is mostly spiritual since Adam had no life until God breathed into him and we likewise. When people die the body is lifeless and is returned to the ground. The Jewish, Christian and Muslim communities believe in the God of heaven (who is a Spirit, John 4:24) and that we took our personalities from him. On the flip side of that Satan worshipers believe that Satan (who is a spirit) is greater than God and they devoutly worship him and are lead by his Principalities, Power and Rulers in their everyday life. That seems to be about or close to half of the world’s population which believes that a spirit being controls their mind, will, and emotions. This informs us of where (I believe) we come from and where our personalities come from.…

    The symbol for this element is a man on a journey. Name refers to a way to describe or define a feeling, perception, object, or experience. Form is what is remembered to be associated with that name and is called upon by memory in future experiences. The story of Pi and the tiger, Richard Parker in the book, Life of Pi is relevant to this element. When Pi tells officials about his experiences with the animals on the life boat, they do not believe him. When he tells the same story except this time with humans instead of animals on the life boat, they do believe him. He learns that people choose what to believe based on their conceptions and expectations of the given object or creature from past experiences. This name and form step plays a significant role in dictating how we perceive the world. Along with the six sense fields, name- and- form give us conditioned truth. Everything that we know is conditioned upon something else to make sense of something else. In this realm everything is illusory and has no true essence or core. Name and form depends on consciousness of the six sense fields, though. Without a consciousness, there would be nothing to process or…

    Egyptians believed that these five parts were what made up a person. The Akh was the physical body. The Akh was referred to when describing a living or dead body. The Akh was made up of all five of these distinctive elements. The Ba was a person’s personality. It made each and every one person unique. In hieroglyphs, the Ba was referred to as a bird with a human head. The Ba was believed to be able to fly through both worlds, both the afterlife and the world of the living. Everyone was born with a Ka. The Ka was a life force. It was pictured as a very little man next to the same man that was much larger. Other times, it was represented with two outstretched arms, which was a sign to ward off evil. As a person died, the Ka continued to live, still needing the same nutritions as it did if the body were still alive. Instead of eating real food, they would absorb the life giving force that paintings of food had. Stated in paragraph four, your name had to be written down to be able to enter the afterlife. The fifth part of a person is the shadow. The Shadow is known to have great power. It was considered…
