The Ancient Symbols – Energy Code for Wishes come true
A groundbreaking 2023 study in neuroscience, conducted by Myra Fernandez and Brady Roberts at the University of Waterloo, confirmed what ancient people have always known intuitively: our brains remember symbols more easily than words. But symbols are more than memory devices—they are vessels of emotion and experience. They “speak” the mysterious language of the soul, reaching places words cannot touch. They awaken dormant parts of our psyches, activating archetypal forces within.
Since the dawn of human civilization, symbols have served as powerful keys to the unseen. They transcend language and time, encoding knowledge and cosmic energies. For the ancients—from Sumer to Egypt, from India to Greece—symbols were not decorative flourishes. They were energetic tools for intention, healing, and transformation. Each symbol was a portal, not only to inner and collective wisdom but to the fulfillment of desires. As such, for centuries, they influenced not just the soul, but the body as well.
Sacred Symbols Across Civilizations
Consider the iconic Yin-Yang, the ancient Chinese symbol of balance between light and dark, good and bad, action and rest.
Or the Caduceus, the Greek staff entwined with serpents, symbolizing healing and harmony
From the Lotus—a sacred flower in Egypt and India that signifies love, growth, and spiritual awakening—to the Eye of Horus, a symbol of protection and intuition, these ancient signs all point toward a higher understanding, collected from the beginning of time.
The Ankh, Egypt’s “cross of life,” merges earthly and divine principles, while the Tree of Life—a Sumerian concept—expresses the deep connection between all layers of being.
Others, like the Triskelion, Ouroboros, and Labrys, encode concepts of movement, rebirth, duality, fertility, and transformation. They remind us that life flows in cycles, each one of which offers potential for renewal.
What is the symbol?
Symbols are not just relics of the past—they are energy maps that help us tune into something much greater than ourselves. They connect us to the memory and power of those who walked the Earth before us, those who carved the first paths to knowledge and belonging. A symbol reminds us that within each of us lives the potential to love, to heal, to create, and to awaken spiritually.
Just as ancient dances and rituals carried people into altered states, symbols guide us beyond the limits of rational thought. They connect us to mythic beings, the forces of nature, and divine wisdom. They awaken ancestral memory, even when we don't consciously understand how or why.
Pre-Christian Symbolism and the Slavic World
Many cultures have preserved a rich symbolic vocabulary from pre-Christian times, including those of Iceland, Greece, India, Egypt, Lithuania, and Ireland, among others. The Slavic peoples, including Ukrainians and Bulgarians, hold deep mythic traditions layered with a pantheon of pagan gods and goddesses, natural symbolism, and ancestral resonance.
The Axe of Perun, Slavic god of thunder, represents strength, courage, and protection—often worn as a talisman by Slavic people. The Star of Lada, goddess of love, marriage, and home, symbolizes feminine harmony and the connection between heaven, earth, and the world of ancestors. These symbols remain vibrant expressions of identity and personal power.
The ancient Greek gods also unequivocally "speak" through images of wisdom and power - the lightning of Zeus, the lyre of Apollo, and the owl of Athena remind us of heavenly order, inner harmony, and knowledge.
The symbol – Then and Now
Ancient people lived in harmony with the rhythms of nature. They didn’t separate body from soul, or the visible from the invisible. Symbols were woven into their daily life—inscribed on stone, sewn into garments, painted on bread, or – later on in Christian times – on Easter eggs. Through these sacred acts, life was lived as a continuous dance between the mundane and the holy—a rhythm where the ordinary was often pierced by moments of profound union, deep dialogue with the divine, the archetypal, the symbolic. This way of living—rooted in rites, festivals, and sacred vocations—wove together the prosperity, longevity, strong communal bonds, and resilient mental health that sustained the ancients.
Today, many of us live far from those rhythms. The Cartesian split—initiated by Descartes and exacerbated by modern society—has taught us to divide the body from the soul. However, there are still countries where that connection remains alive. In our time, symbols can once again serve as tools for healing and transformation, used for individual and societal good, rather than being reduced to instruments of manipulation in marketing and consumer culture.
Is Sacred Union with the Symbolic language possible in the modern world?
Today's world must turn its attention to such cultures if we are to develop both materially and spiritually. Among these people, guardians of ancient human knowledge, are Slavic peoples.
How to work with symbols?
You don’t need elaborate rituals to tap into symbolic energy. Sometimes, it is enough to gaze at a symbol with intention and inner stillness. In that quiet space beyond words, the heart begins to “read” the symbol with perfect clarity. And it becomes a guide.
How do you know which symbol is correct for you?
There are only two rules:
There is no wrong choice.
The right symbol is the one that speaks to you intuitively, personally.
You might be drawn to symbols specific to your country because they are already encoded in your ancestral DNA. But you can also explore others. Each culture holds keys worth discovering.
Symbols in Movement and Embodiment
In disciplines like Tai Chi, Qi Gong, and Healing Tao, the practitioner draws the symbol through the client`s body, using mindful, fluid movement. Oriental dances, Mandala dance, and Slavic gymnastics all incorporate symbolic shapes traced with the hips, hands, or spine, such as the figure eight, a symbol of infinity.
Yoga, India’s ancient gift, uses postures named after powerful archetypes: Mountain, Tree, Lotus, Cobra. Mudras—hand gestures—activate energy pathways. One of the most powerful is the Yoni Mudra, representing the womb and creative force (“Yoni” – from Sanskrit, meaning “womb” or “source”). Practicing it fosters inner calm and a deeper connection to the feminine.
In Bulgaria, the Elbetitsa—an eight-pointed cross—is our symbol of life, uniting the world`s directions, the nature`s elements, and the male and female principle. Embroidered into shirts and icons, it safeguards the home and honours the woman as creatress.
New Methods – Art/Dance Therapy, Jungian Psychoanalysis
In dance and art therapy, symbols become metaphors explored through movement, free association games, or drawing. Jungian psychoanalysis, pioneered by Carl Gustav Jung, is a technique that involves the client exploring symbolic landscapes that emerge from dreams and memories through the Active Imagination process.
Some choose to work with experts in symbolism, such as Reiki, Dance therapy, Jungian psychoanalysis, or Dream analysis. Others embark on a creative journey when the muse's wings touch them – to draw, dance, meditate on a chosen symbol, or color it. Others even tattoo it.
There are countless doors into the wonders of the symbolic world. The key is to choose the one that calls to you.
The symbol – an eternal bridge between the visible and the invisible
Symbols are not just images. They are timeless bridges between the visible and invisible, the practical and spiritual, the pragmatic and the mystical. They connect you to the deepest parts of yourself—and something greater, ancient, perpetually alive.
When you engage with a symbol not just with your eyes but with your heart, its power grows. It’s not superstition—it’s memory. It’s legacy. Its presence.
Our ancestors didn’t decorate for beauty alone. They blessed through every stitch, every prayer, every gesture. Today, when we often feel cut off from ourselves, symbols invite us back to humanity`s sanctuary. Not through logic, but through feeling. Through the body. Through the dream.
Increasingly, people are turning to this source through song, ritual, the embroidery of symbols, and women’s circles. Symbols of fertility, balance, and protection remind us that what is essential is never lost. It only sleeps, waiting to be remembered.
Today, in a time when many feel disconnected from themselves, their roots, and their bodies, symbols return to us as quiet guides, carrying the light of remembrance.
We are tenderly invited to return to what is not learned in books, but is felt—in the bones, in the blood, in the dream.
And it is not surprising that more and more people are returning to their ancestral memories, through rituals, women's circles, and ancestral therapy.
Symbol decoding and activation don’t require complex words, nor do we need heavy explanations. We only need to open our hearts.
Because when a person sees with his heart, everything speaks the truth to him.
And then, as in ancient times:
The symbol becomes a prayer.
The prayer - a path.
And the path - a fate.
