Tree of Life ~ Winged Discs

Omphalos ~ Arcs and Archetypes


Once upon a time


Thought created a Tone.


The tone created Keys of Light


The Keys of Light created Colors in Spectrum.


Sound, light, and color created patterns (geometry).



The patterns set up a 'Tree of Life' for a Cycle of Time.



From the beginning there were Arcs and Archetypes.


Winged Discs - Astrology - Celestial Events






Zoroaster (Z)



The Archetypes - Symbols - were sometimes found together.


Hebrew Tree of Life Winged Gods Winged - Solar Discs



The omphalos is a very common type of religious stone artifact. The word omphalos means "navel" in greek. According to the ancient Greeks, Zeus sent out two eagles to fly across the world and they met at its center, the "navel" of the world--which the omphalos represents. Many records indicate that the omphalos stone was the holiest object at various oracle centers in all the lands bordering the Mediterranean Sea, the most well known being at Delphi. It most likely originated from the "stone of splendor" associated with the Canaanite god Baal. The main characteristic of the omphalos/stone of splendor was its ability to allow direct communication with the gods.  


The image above is an ancient Greek depiction of Delphi. In it we can see the Temple of Apollo, an Omphalos, and a Tree of Life (as a date palm). It's safe to conclude that the tree is indeed a Tree of Life, because the earliest, most common form of it was the date palm...but date palms don't grow in Greece!

According to the hieroglyphs,
the object at the top allowed a human
to speak with Seker - god of the afterlife.


Wings, stones, and a way to communicate with the Divine.




ARCS - ARKS


The Arc of the Covenant

Does the arc house the two stone tablets
The Ten Commandments given to Moses?
