SYMBOLICAL SYNONYMS OF SOLOMON'S SEAL: THE VESICA PISCES

---

In the occult world, the Vesica Pisces is arguably one of the most profound symbolical synonyms of the hexagram. As with the Rosy Cross of Rosicrucianism, the Square and Compass of Freemasonry, the Yin-Yang symbol, and the hexagram itself, this symbol likewise signifies the yoking or mingling of opposites, male and female, light and dark, etc., thus representing occult dualism, which holds that both good and evil are needful, a dogma addressed in "What Evil Is And Why It Matters".

This form can be see when, during a solar eclypse, the moon, signifying the female principle in occult symbology, unites with the sun, the male principle. As seen in the movie Apocalypto, priests of the olden world used this event to hoodwink the people into thinking that their priestcraft was necessary to keep the sun going, which goes to show that politicians aren't the only ones who would take credit for the sun rising if they could get away with it. The Eye that's formed as the two circles representing opposite principles merge to form the Vesica pisces is the problematical child of the process, so to speak, the eye of a perfect storm, one might say. See "Whose Eye's Light is Darkness".

According to the author of Jack The Ripper's Black Magic Rituals, JTR left a Vesica Pisces thumprint. Needless to say, most people who use this symbol have no nefarious intent and no idea how the symbol is used or interpreted in black magic; the meaning of any symbol, like any word in a text, can only be fairly evaluated when considered in the full context of its use.
