Tree of Life Jewelry As Sacred Geometry Expressions
Trees, in all their verdure and grandeur, are often used as symbols for prosperity, abundance and life. Many different religions, various myths and even Science, have used the tree to signify the many different ideals and beliefs. So, it isn't surprising that the symbol the Tree of Life is depicted in many various forms as well. It can be drawn as a stout tree with branches spreading outward, as seen in Gustav Klimt's popular artwork. On the flag of the Turkish state of Chuvashia, the Tree of Life is drawn with three stars on top of it. The Kabbalah shows the Tree of Life as ten interconnected circles symbolizing the pathway to the divine.
As such, the Tree of Life has taken on several different meanings. For some, this old, mystic symbol can mean liveliness of spirit. For others, the Tree of Life symbolizes the interconnectedness of life. It can also mean a pathway one must go through to reach awakening or to connect to God. In Science, this symbol is used in the evolutionary context.
The Tree of Life in the Kabbalah
In the Kabbalah, the Tree of Life is used to denote the path to HaShem, or God. It also depicts the way He created the world out of nothing, thereby making it a map of creation. The ten circles in the Tree of Life represent the ten Sefirot (spiritual centers). These Sefirot symbolize the ten different virtues of god within man. The lines connecting these circles represent the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Together, these form the 32 paths or energy lines one can take to connect to the divine or to find the divine within him. In essence, it is the perfect symbol for unity between the human (physical) and the divine (spiritual).
Taking these teachings from the Kabbalah, cosmic jewelry artist Davide Weitzman has handcrafted unique Tree of Life jewelry depicting the symbol in all its grandeur and sacredness. Pendants and rings in gold and silver help wearers remember how the universe was created out of nothing and that unity with the divine is possible with the 32 paths.
David's Tree of Life pendant, a beautiful creation in silver or gold, can also help the wearer remember the true existence of God's creation and can help him attain his full potential and achieve his destiny.
Sacred Geometry and the Tree of Life
This symbol is one of the most popular representations of sacred geometry in the world. Also called the "architecture of the universe," sacred geometry is found in essentially every living being (in the division of cells), in construction (temples and churches), in natural forms (nautilus shells) and even in music, fractals, tesseracts and waves.
To understand how the Tree of Life is based on sacred geometry, let's look at the most basic and oldest figures that is also made of concentric circles: The Flower of Life. Composed of many, evenly spaced overlapping circles, the Flower of Life emerges as a flower-like pattern and is said to contain all ancient and religious knowledge. It is believed to connect all life forms and sentient beings in the entire universe. Within it, one can extract several other sacred patterns, such as the Metatron's Cube or the Tree of Life itself.
The Seed of Life, another sacred symbol, can be seen within the pattern of the Flower of Life. This symbol, which is composed of 7 concentric circles, is commonly used for the 7 days of creation, for blessings or for fertility.
Many different things can be taken from the interconnectedness of the pattern of the Flower of Life. We can see how the Tree of Life can be taken from it, for instance. With this knowledge and through the use of Tree of Life jewelry, we can be well on our way to achieving unity with the divine and discovering more about our inner selves.
