Symbology is almost akin to
another language, irrational in its construct, it suggest one
theme whilst utilising a different one, the key to understanding
symbology is through both aspects of intuition as well as cross
referencing what we understand about the world around us.
Symbology comes under the remit
of the subconscious mind, as our inner self is portrayed fourth
in a liturgy of symbols, with no coherent reasoning or direction
from the cognitive awareness of self.
It is therefore necessary to
cross examine what we feel the symbology we are seeing actually
represents, through questioning and feedback from friends or
clients. Using such a method I have learnt to understand the
symbolic language. I have listed some examples below.
House/Building this represents the person from an outside
point of view. How they perceive themselves, and their general
state of well-being. For example, if the house was run down,
having bricks missing or windows broken, you could say the
person is going through a rough time physically.
However,
seeing the house from inside would represent the person on an
inner level, and similar rules would apply as for the outside of
the house.
· Bridge
Depending upon where it is placed within the auragraph, the
bridge is representative of bringing something from the inner
self to the outside or vice versa.
·
Fence/Gate this represents a barrier. Depending upon where it
is drawn within the auragraph would indicate if it were an
emotional or physical barrier. The type of Fence/Gate also plays
an important part, if it were made of metal would suggest it
being reinforced in the persons view, whilst being made of a
hedgerow would suggest a family issue.
· Water
This represents hidden depths (as you cant see under the water)
and compassion. The depth and state of the water lends toward
the overall meaning. A large volume of water (sea, ocean)
suggests a bigger issue, whilst a smaller body of water (river,
stream) suggests a more pinpoint meaning (dependant upon
placement within the auragraph).
· Trees
These represent family, emotional issues as with hedgerows.
· Grass
This represents emotional well-being, the rougher the grass, or
windswept the grass looks, the more that is going on in an
emotional sense.
· Rocks/Boulders these represent a permanent issue,
especially around fences/gates.
· Mountains these can represent dreams, ambitions as well
as obstacles.
· Clouds
these represent thoughts, and the state of the conscious mind
in general. The more clouds the more going on, stormy clouds
represent stormy issues!
.
Doors/Windows - Generally speaking the wider a door is open the
more the person will have to say, or if the door is closed with
no handle, then it is suggesting that they do not wish any
contact. Windows, more particularly the colour of the windows
are perceived of how the person views the outside world, having
closed curtains would suggest that the person again does not
wish any contact, however dark windows suggest looking out on
the world whilst in a safe environment, or protective area, the
ostrich theory, if they can't see me they are not there.
.
Vehicles - being in the driving seat comes to mind here, as it
suggests being in control of where we wish to go, and can
represent both material and spiritual meanings. Being on a bus
or train would suggest the person as going along with things,
following the flow, not being in control, or conversely willing
to let someone else be in control.
. Walls -
dependant upon the material they are constructed from will
convey a lot of the meaning. For example a wall made of brick
would suggest an ordered mind being determined to keep concerns
in or out. Whilst a wall made of stone, as in walls seen around
fields would suggest a hastily constructed wall in an attempt to
keep things hemmed in or kept out.
Symbology
within my unique brand of psychic art is very dependant upon the
colour of the symbol, a white building would have a different
interpretation than that
of a red house. Also worthy of note is the placement of the
symbology within the drawing itself.
