The circle is eternity and blood is life
All cultures do common symbols that express their relationship with the universe; the circle is likely to be the most relevant. Although some think that it is too simple as a tattoo, its symbolism is very deep, so that when tattooed it can say a lot about you as well as serve as a guide for your spiritual growth.
It is considered that roundness is sacred because it is the most natural form: the planets, the suns, the ovules, the eyes, the electrons, the atoms, the navel are round. Plato said that the head (which is round) is a microcosm in itself, a universe.
Symbolism of a circle
The unit tattooed on one shoulder
A circle has no beginning and no end, it closes in on itself; It represents the eternal, the absolute, unity, perfection, the circular movement of life, the cyclical. It is associated with the sun without which there would be no life on earth and it also represents the relationship between the two, the union between the divine and the earthly. It is the symbol of gold in Alchemy, the most precious metal.
Is protectiveThat is why it was used to defend buildings (stone cords) and people (crowns, bracelets, necklaces, bracelets, belts ...). When a ritual is performed to protect someone, a circle is drawn with a dot in the center; that point is the being, the soul.
Sorcerers, wizards, and witches draw a magic circle for rituals (to seal, invoke, protect, etc.) and the bottom of the tunic is considered a circle that seals his feet. And how not to mention the circular places of power (Stonehegen) or the enigmatic crop circles.
A tattoo of a circle represents the whole of the universe
Combined circles also have their own symbolism: two twin circles: the feminine and the masculine, as well as wisdom and love; concentric circles: the development of being; a circle with a point in the center:revelation, as it is the open eye of God and a point and a circle within a larger circle they represent the trinity of body, mind and soul.
As you can see, the circle is a fascinating symbol to tattoo as it admits hundreds of variants; I will talk about them in other posts.
