Product Description
The four outer circles symbolize the four elements: Fire, Earth, Air, Water. The middle circle unites all the elements with a goal to reach balance between all four elements or energies. These elements are essential for the stability and progression of life, conveying the importance of harmony with all of Nature.
This can also be considered a directional symbol. The four circles represent North, South, East, West, and the center circle represents our present location. This can be taken as a spiritual metaphor. The mind/soul/spirit reaches out to all directions and elements of existence while the center remains centered. The ancient Druids recognized the chief method of achieving growth is to first be present and centered within the space of ‘what is’. The key is to be consciously focused on this present moment while all other moments, events, movements pass by us and through us. This is the only avenue to progress, and the five-fold is a great icon conveying this concept.
