Symbolism: The Language of the Subconscious & the Unseen
Symbols speak the oldest language known to humanity — the silent conversation between matter and spirit. Between the Above and the Below, the external and the internal.
In my work — as an artist, designer, and spiritual practitioner — symbolism has become my sacred compass. It allows me to translate the language of the subconscious into meaningful messages. It is a way to express intentions and to call in desired energies and frequencies. In that sense, symbols bridge energy and form, intention and manifestation.
Whether I am creating a visual identity for a brand or creating a bind-rune sigil for meditation, the process is the same: tuning into the patterns behind reality, the sacred geometries and frequencies that shape existence.
Symbolism & The Subconscious
Symbolism is far more than visual aesthetics — it is not just an art form — it’s a living bridge between the conscious and the unconscious.
It’s the language through which the subconscious reveals what words cannot. It’s how the deeper layers of our psyche communicate with us — through sacred geometry, numbers, and symbolic archetypes.
Carl Jung spoke of archetypes as primordial patterns that arise from the collective unconscious. These archetypes often take symbolic form — in dreams, myths, and creative expression — carrying messages from the unseen dimensions of the self, bringing it into awareness.
When we engage with symbols consciously, we enter a dialogue with these archetypal forces — with the divine architecture that moves through all of life and creation.
The Blueprint of Creation
At the foundation of symbolism lies sacred geometry & numbers — the mathematical language of creation itself. From the sunflower seed pattern to the spirals of galaxies — every form follows geometric laws that mirror consciousness itself.
Geometry reveals that consciousness follows the same order, rhythm, proportion, and conditions as matter. The universal laws are truly universal.
Cymatics — the study of how sound creates form — visually demonstrates how vibration organizes matter into geometric patterns.
Each tone, each harmonic, generates a distinct structure or visual expression of organized matter — showing us that the universe itself is a living symphony. In that sense, frequency and form are one and the same.
The ancients understood this deeply. They encoded these truths in sacred numbers — 369, 108, 144, 432 — each carrying its own vibrational resonance, a key within the universal harmony.
To engage with these geometries and frequencies is to remember that we are part of the same pattern — expressions of the same divine equation.
Symbolism & Transformation
Symbols and archetypes serve as mirrors of our inner being — powerful tools for reflection, healing and transformation.
They bypass our logic, the intellect, and speak directly to the subconscious mind — where our beliefs, wounds, past trauma and forgotten memories reside.
Working with symbolism through art, meditation, and ritual, it becomes spiritual alchemy as we bring those inner unconscious patterns into awareness. Enabling the process of transmuting inner darkness into light, confusion & fear into clarity & wholeness.
This is why symbolism, sacred geometry, sound therapy, and creative ritual can shift energy so profoundly. They’re not only helpful tools, they are keys to transformation — they help initiate it.
Sigils & Rune Magic
A very popular symbolic system is the Elder Futhark Runes — esoterically viewed as archetypal keys that channel elemental and cosmic energies, each holding a distinct vibration. They are often used for divination.
However, when I work with the Runes, or combine them into bind-runes or rune formulas, I’m rather attempting to call in each distinct energy into my life journey — a way of aligning inner intention with universal law through symbols.
Similarly, sigil magic transforms a thought or desire into a visual code, then charges it through focus, emotion, and will, thereby directing it toward a specific outcome.
In my opinion, these living symbols are ancient technologies of consciousness, ways to align the inner self with the creative current of the universe itself.
Communion Through Symbolism
Ultimately, the purpose of working with symbolism is communion — to communicate with your higher self, the divine, and what mystics would call the Spirit of the All.
Every symbol is both a doorway and a mirror, reflecting both our individuality and our connection to the infinite. Revealing an echo of something vast within us, a fragment of the infinite, seeking to be remembered.
By meditating upon them, creating with them, we begin to translate the language of energy into form — to connect the dots between the above and the below. In doing so, we awaken the alchemist within — transmuting shadow into light, separation into unity, and memory into meaning.
Symbolism is the art of seeing the unseen — and realizing that we are both the artist and the geometry of creation itself. A mere fractal of Source, and yet co-creators of the All. We are the geometry through which the Divine experiences itself.
