occult comes from the Latin occultus meaning, hidden, secret, referring to the 'knowledge of the secret' or 'knowledge of the hidden'
the alseing eye often a talisman against danger, also appears as part of the iconography of the Freemasons. The all-seeing eye is then a reminder that a Mason's deeds are always observed by the Grand Architect of the Universe. Sometimes the Eye is enclosed by a triangle, as a reference to the number three in numerology.
the eye is also linked with the ' illuminati' This is possibly the only context in which the Eye of Providence is shown actually embedded in a pyramid. Some say the eye is meant to be the eye of Lucifer while others have said it to be the Eye of Horus
even i lord of the rings we see sauron represented as the al seeing eye of evil surrounded by rays of light..
thats why i chose the all seeing eye as a symbol for things that are hidden, in or mind, or in psychical form
The pyramid signified strength and duration...
the devination tools are the things that are often used in the occult world, as a symbol of study of a deeper spiritual reality" that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences
the skull is the symbol that we probally will never really understand the occult world, even if we would have all the time, and never age
The raven.. known as shapeshifters shapeshifters and humans are often changed into ravens by an enemy's curse. They are prophets, spell-casters, and messengers of the gods.
the raven stands as a symbol of knowledge. It is also an emblem of divine providence. The raven is said to be a Danish device used as a heraldic symbol very early in history. Visually, no differentiation is made between the symbols of a raven, a rook or a crow. The symbol of the crow signifies that the bearer is someone who is watchful and vigilant for friends. The cornish chough is a bird that has been called the "King of Crows." It may indicate that the bearer is crafty and strategic, to the disadvantage of his enemies. It also signifies vigilance in watching over friends.
a piramid stands for accessing your higher powers, the god or goddess within ,Raising your vibration, aligning yourself with your higher purpose and spiritual initiation
and the sky as a symbol for the ability to change to future.. and ideas and proposals and the ability to anticipate problems and difficulties
