The most ancient symbols and signs that have come down to us from the depths of millennia are images, images and words that denote the stereotheistic pair of Father-Creator, Mother-Matter (Great Mother) and their attributes
Masculinity
Bull - ox, Baal, Baal, Veles, Bel (god), bull, etc.
The bull, as a large and strong animal with powerful potency for people in pre-literate antiquity, was an image (icon) of the Creator God who created the world, the First Ancestor
Perhaps the word “god” itself goes back to some word that in ancient times had to do with a bull
The relationship of words can be direct - one word comes from another, or both go back to the same original word of one of the ancient languages or a single ancient proto-language. Kinship can be formed through folk etymology - randomly similar words are placed in a single semantic series and are modified over time as a result of interaction. Also, the similar sound of words with a similar meaning may be accidental and not at all related. Perhaps some consonances of the words given below are accidental.
The phallus (faal, Baalos) is, along with the bull, the other most common symbol of the Creator God.
Dad (possibly related to the word “phallus”), father, ata, father, etc.
Finger, phalanx
Mace (club, the main ancient weapon before the advent of swords)
White (“white”, “baal”) – light, shining, pure, divine, daytime
Big, great (“white”, “baal”) – large, strong, divine, forge And th, upper, high, heavenly
Visual and architectural symbols (images, iconography)
Phallic forms predominate
Menhirs and cromlechs
Hieroglyph Tian (sky, heaven). The word "tian" may be associated with the attribute of a male deity in the form of light, a bright, clear day. Therefore, the words “tian” and “day” may not just sound similar, but are related
Yang - light, white, clear, masculine
Obelisks (the word “obelisk” itself shows a relationship with the words “white”, “great”), steles
Irminsul
Pagan fools (graven images, idols)
Bread (Kulich) and mortar pestles, in which flour was made from grain for baking bread
Labrys is an ancient exclusively cult instrument, used for sacrifices. The labrys was not used as a military weapon - it is extremely inconvenient and can easily get hurt. Including the attribute of the minotaur (bull man). Has inverted phallic symbolism. The Romans called labrys the word "bipennis"
Hammer is an attribute of Thor (taur, tur - bull)
Thor (Taur - bull) and the serpent Jormungandr
Light, day, sun are ancient male symbols, a number of which, taking into account the data modern science Quasars may continue to be the most powerful sources of light and energy in the Universe. Thus, if we superimpose ancient ideas on modern knowledge, then “male” quasars are opposed to “female” black holes, which are hypertrophied mater with a gigantic mass.
Other symbols of masculinity: east (where the sun rises), sunrise (dawn, dawn), tree, adult male father, top - direction of movement towards the sky, order, unit (written with a dash in Egypt, Babylon, Rome and from other backgammon) etc.
The most important ancient symbol of the male divine principle are horns as an attribute of a bull (associated with the Creator Father) or another horned animal (deer, ram, goat, etc.).
In different areas among different peoples, the animals that were used as an image (icon) of God the Creator were different. Perhaps the largest and strongest (great) horned animal was chosen. His horns were an attribute of the divine (male) principle
For example, the Celtic Cernunnos is depicted with deer antlers, since the territory of worship of this deity was inhabited by giant deer, which amazed people with their size in ancient times. That's why giant deer was chosen as an image (icon) of a god, possibly the Creator God.
In ancient times, humans modern type(Cro-Magnon) the use of large horned animals as ritual images predominates. For Neanderthals, in accordance with the interpretation of numerous archaeological data, the image of the deity was a cave bear (2 meters at the withers, 3 meters in length and up to 5 meters in height if it stands on hind legs). In all likelihood, the cult of the bear passed from the Neanderthals to some Cro-Magnon peoples and is practiced in some places to this day, for example, among the Nivkhs. Teddy bears and the abundance of bear characters in fairy tales are a faint echo of this ancient cult.
Feminine
Paleolithic Venuses, female images in caves and some bone products have reached us. Wooden figures or images on wood or other surfaces have not reached us.
Drawing of the Neolithic sanctuary of Ignatievskaya Cave
To denote the feminine principle, people in ancient times directly used the image of women reproductive organs as well as male (numerous archaeological phallic artifacts) in the case of masculinity. But for the feminine principle, no established animal image was used, as in the case of a bull or other large, predominantly horned animal to denote the masculine principle.
Words and images
Mother - Tiamat, Maat, Maha, Mokosh, etc.; mother - Nana, Inanna, etc.
Matter is what the spiritual masculine principle creates the world from
Belit (goddess) – from the god Bel
Earth (as mater iya), water (as mater and I). A modern extrapolation of this symbol could be black holes as supermassive, that is, super mater ial phenomena in the Universe.
Animals and creatures
Snake, serpent, dragon, sea (water) monsters and various mythical creatures with features of women and reptiles (Tiamat, Humbaba, Gorgon, mermaid, etc.). Modern development this ancient symbol are the Reptilians (Draconians) of Devil Ike, who were also invented based on the subconscious archetype of the feminine principle.
Owl and zoomorphic creatures with the features of a bird and a woman (for example, with the body of a bird and the head of a woman - Sirin (siren)). The owl is one of the main symbols of Astarte, the Mediterranean analogue of the Great Mother (Mother-Matter) at the end of ancient times, when stereotheism had completely degraded into polytheism, and the veneration of the feminine principle was overgrown with orgiastic and bloody cults.
Visual symbols
Vulvar and uterine forms predominate, paired with male symbols.
Numerous vulvar forms archaeological artifacts which are found along with phallic artifacts at ancient sanctuary sites
Dolmens are paired menhirs. The ancient caves themselves and the passages in them, apparently, served as symbols of the feminine principle.

Dolmen from the inside

More late form dolmens, mounds and mounds - pyramids that were used throughout the territory of human habitation in ancient times. For example, in Egypt, pyramids were used for funeral rites of rulers (pharaohs), who were considered the children of the gods. In Mesopotamia, pyramids (ziggurats) were used as an artificial elevation for the sanctuary, where sacrifices and orgiastic rituals of interaction with divine world. Numerous ancient pyramid-ziggurats are known in Asia and America.
The image of the cave as a symbol of the feminine principle (the womb of the Great Mother) may be present in the Bible when describing the Nativity of Christ. Jesus was born in a cave full of animals. It is possible that this is a direct prototype of the most ancient Paleolithic cave sanctuaries, painted with drawings of animals.
Ankh – paired djedu
Yoni - paired lingam
Yin - paired yang
The entrance to the temple is paired with columns. Temples were created on the principle of ancient caves and dolmens, the entrance to which and the passages inside of which were associated with the feminine principle.
Matter is a steam room for the spirit; ring - paired finger; bottom – direction paired with the upward direction; night is steamy for day; The Moon is paired with the Sun; the west (where the sun sets) is paired with the east (where the sun rises); sunrise (dawn) - paired with sunset; chaos is paired with order; cold is steamy with heat; zero “0” paired with one “1”; mate matika (the science of measuring matter) - paired with theology; other characters
Dragon (serpent)
The source of this symbol, apparently, was the bones of large dinosaurs that people found in the ground.
Since the earth was part of the realm of female symbols of the Mother-Matter, dragons and other (no longer fictional) reptiles became an attribute of the feminine principle. Male gods or male heroes always fight with snake dragons: Marduk and Tiamat (mother) in the form of a dragon, Gilgamesh and Humbaba (woman - woman), Ra and Apep, Zeus and Typhon, Apollo and Python, Perseus and Gorgon, Perseus And sea monster, Hercules (Hercules) and the Lernaean Hydra, Jason and the dragon (who guarded the fleece), Thor (Taur - bull) and the serpent Jormungandr (gad), Beowulf and Grendel's mother, St. George and the serpent, Siegfried and Fafnir and other numerous snakes and snake fighters.

The struggle of a male god or hero with a dragon symbolizes the struggle of the male spiritual light principle with the female material dark principle, and the victory of the former over the latter. Thus, on the one hand, the victory of the spirit over matter, the spiritual over the material, is stated, on the other hand, the divinity of the male characters is emphasized, because only those who have divine power can cope with such creatures that seemed to people looking with awe at the bones of the ancients gigantic lizards.
In the epic of various European peoples dragons are associated with treasures (gold, gems), which are the most striking expression and extreme symbol of material wealth and material wealth. Many fairy tales have retained the motif when the hero (male spiritual principle) defeats the dragon (female material principle), but, having taken possession of its treasures, turns into a dragon. That is, it degrades from (male) spirit into (female) matter.
The dragon is also associated with the dungeon and caves, which are feminine in material essence (matter - stone, earth) and in symbolism (a cave is the womb of a mountain).
Perhaps the meaning of the serpent-dragon symbol goes even deeper. The word gad (reptile) is consonant with the name of the brother of Zeus and the ruler of the underworld of the dead Hades (Hades), with whom the word “hell” (the underworld of eternal torment of sinners) is etymologically connected.
It is characteristic that fire (a male symbol) appeared relatively recently in the underground (female) world of the dead. For example, in Greek myths, the kingdom of Hades still lies in darkness and gloom, in which the shadows of dead people wander. Five rivers flow there (Lethe, Styx, Acheron, Kokytos and Phlegethon), which means that in the absence of solar heat, it is cold and damp there. In other words, the Greeks actually painted an image of mountain caves that served as sanctuaries for people in ancient times.
It is also possible that the ability of dragons to spew fire also arose relatively recently and initially water dragon snakes did not have the ability to spit fire, which is not a female, but a male symbol. For example, in the myth of Marduk and Tiamat it is said that it was Marduk who possessed the fiery breath, and not the dragon-like snake Tiamat.
Adam, Eve and the serpent
In light of the above connections of ancient symbols, the biblical myth of Adam and Eve has a completely understandable reading. Adam (masculine) is defeated by the feminine (Eve and the serpent). For this, God (the masculine principle) takes the defeated Adam, whose spirit has degraded, in which the material (feminine) principle has won, out of the spiritual paradise. Adam and Eve enter the material world. In order for a person (descendant of Adam and Eve) to return to heaven, he must reject the material and strive for the spiritual.
Thus, the Fall is the victory of the material over the spiritual, and the return to God is the victory of the spiritual over the material.
God and Adam in the myth personify the masculine principle, and the serpent and Eve represent the feminine. Therefore, the iconography of Satan often includes female attributes and organs. This emphasizes that the category of Satan belongs to the material (maternal) or feminine nature.
Among the folklore images that are more familiar to us, we can cite the example of Baba Yaga and the Serpent Gorynych. The attribute of Baba Yaga is a stupa (a mortar for grain is a female symbol), the Serpent Gorynych (female symbols: a serpent, a mountain, a cave).
The modern myth about reptilians (Draconians), within the framework of David Icke's conspiracy theory, is also located within the ancient archetype of the confrontation between dragons and heroes. Evil reptilians are terrorizing people, and the world is waiting for heroes to appear who will free humanity from reptilian tyranny.
In addition to the reptilians, the modern extreme negative interpretation of the feminine principle is manifested in the cult of Santa Muerte, as well as in the ecofascism of Mother Earth.
Dollar symbol - serpent on the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
In the sign of dollars, the main international (global) money, the symbolism of the snake as the feminine principle (mother - mammon) and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, fatal for Adam and Eve, is also visible. For cabalists, this serpent is Lilith, which has its source in the ancient female Mesopotamian deity Belit (Inanna, Ishtar, Astarte) - the image of the most ancient pre-literate stereotheistic Great Mother.
Fire
Fire is one of the few substances that move against gravity. In addition to fire, smoke and steam move upward, the root cause of which is also fire. In accordance with the role of fire in the ritual practices of sacrifice and burial, descriptions of which have reached us, people in ancient times perceived fire as a substance through which communication with the divine world was carried out.
Primitively speaking, fire sends something or someone from earth to heaven. Speaking more complex language, fire transfers something from the material, this-worldly world to the spiritual (divine) other world. Fire is the oldest one-way mail - from man to gods (spirits) or to God.
For example, the objects being transferred (transferred) can be plants, fruits, bread, livestock or people. During the times of polytheism, this ritual was brought to the point of absurdity, in particular by the Phoenicians, who sent the most precious things to the gods: their children and the elderly. Jewish monotheism in Palestine and more humane (than Phoenician) Roman polytheism in the Mediterranean, as a result of centuries of struggle, put an end to Phoenician ritual chaos
Minotaur
Fire as a hot, dry, active and light substance is an attribute of the masculine principle. But after the terrible Mediterranean cults associated with sacrifices in fire were defeated, fire takes on a negative connotation and symbolically moves to the “female half” - hell (the underground region of the world of the dead) becomes fiery, and dragons have the ability to spew flames.
Apparently, the same fate befell the horns as a symbol of the divine. They, as an attribute of Baal (the bull), disgusting for monotheism, for which children were burned, and the Golden Calf (the same Baal), acquired a negative connotation. Now horns are often perceived as a symbol of Satan, who opposes God. Horned is today one of the epithets of the enemy of God.
Lightning
Fire is associated with lightning, which comes from the sky and often creates fire on earth. Therefore, lightning is also an established attribute of male deities. Lightning is associated with electricity, which replaces modern people fire as a source of heat and light.

Ancient symbols in the form of a mind map
Since ancient times, people have tried to convey the essence of a man and a woman with various drawings. The images expressed both existing differences and unity. The most famous signs of the masculine and feminine principles are “Yin” and “Yang”, as well as the symbol of Mars and Venus. Each of them has its own history and specific meaning.
Female and male signs
The first symbols of Mars and Venus appeared during the times of Greek and Roman mythology. The signs known to many were taken from astrology, and they became so widespread thanks to the botanist Carl Linnaeus. He used them to distinguish the sexes of plants. It was from this time that these symbols began to be called gender symbols, that is, defining gender.
Female Venus sign depicted as a circle with a cross pointing downwards. It is also called the “mirror of Venus”; according to assumptions, the name appeared due to its external similarity. This sign symbolizes femininity, beauty and.
Male sign of Mars depicted as a circle with an arrow pointing upward. It is important that the hand, when viewed on the hour dial, points to two o'clock and signifies the power of the god of war. This symbol is also called the “shield and spear of Mars”, given its appearance. The combination of the masculine and feminine signs has several meanings. The union of Venus and Mars embodies heterosexuality, that is, love between representatives of different sexes. To denote bisexuality, different combinations can be used, there is no specific meaning to this day. Transsexuals have their own symbol - the sign of the feminine and masculine principles are superimposed on each other, that is, the ring has both a spear and a cross. The combination of two male and two female signs separately does not have a clear definition and can mean both love and friendship.
Signs of a woman and a man - “Yin-Yang”
In philosophy ancient China it is indicated that in the surrounding world there is an interaction between the feminine and masculine principles all the time. “Yin” is a feminine symbol and it contains concepts such as submission and passivity. The opposite is the male symbol “Yang”, which represents positivity and development. Chinese philosophy states that any object located in the Universe can be described using the energy of the feminine and masculine principles. All living beings on earth, as well as planets, stars and zodiac signs, are subject to the Yin-Yang laws. Each of the existing zodiacs has its own polarity. It starts with a male sign, and then alternates.
Most men and women fully justify the Yin-Yang theory. For example, representatives of the stronger sex love to demonstrate their superiority, but the fair sex is endowed with excellent intuition and 
softness. As with every theory, there are exceptions. IN modern world Quite often you can find women who have a masculine character, all this is connected with the individual characteristics of the human psyche. It is impossible to change this, no matter how many people would like it, since these traits are innate. The perfect couple A union is considered to be in which a man with a pronounced “Yang” and a woman with “Yin” are connected. In such a couple, the man will be the leader and breadwinner, and his companion will be the keeper of the hearth. Interestingly, there are unions in which everything happens the other way around, and such couples are also strong and meet quite often. If there are people in a relationship for whom the same principle prevails, then the union will be quite difficult and, most likely, short-lived. There is only one way out in such a situation - the distribution of roles, where each of the partners must be responsible for certain area influence.
There is no division of Zodiac signs into male and female direct relationship to the topic of gender. It only describes the energy specifics and life strategy.
Masculine signs alternate with feminine ones zodiac circle and are opposite each other.
Levels of manifestation
Each astrological parameter of the horoscope has at least three main levels of manifestation. This largely explains why, for example, representatives of the same sign or people born almost at the same time behave and live their lives so differently.
These levels depend on the degree of consciousness of a person, the “maturity” of his soul, which, in turn, is determined by how much a person is ready to develop and take responsibility for everything that happens to him ( highest level), simply go with the flow (middle) or completely give up and degrade (low). IN modern society representatives of the middle level predominate.
A person receives rewards and tasks according to his horoscope, but in accordance with the level he lives. Excellent student - transfer to the next grade, unsuccessful student - Additional tasks to learn the lesson and improve to a new level. Often all three levels coexist in a person at the same time, but in relation to different spheres of life. For example, the most brilliant artist can be absolutely helpless in everyday life, or an ideal family man can be unbearable in the service.
Male and female signs
Sometimes fateful situations can be quite short term move a person from level to level. So. an orphaned child is forced to grow up earlier and be responsible for his own destiny even before reaching adulthood, that is, to rise one step higher.
I wonder what weak person both life's adversities and a sudden large jackpot can easily bring you down to the level of degradation. And even the most severe illness will raise the strong to a high spiritual level.
Male zodiac signs
Masculine signs personify energetic actions in the outside world, in society. That's why they are also called positive.
If a person's horoscope is in masculine signs more planets then he takes an active life position, aimed at establishing the new, moving away from the old. These are world transformers who fill their lives with possibilities. Masculine principle not susceptible to external influences, he himself strives to use expansive methods to influence the world around him, to change it for himself. From a psychological point of view, these are extroverts with a rational type of thinking.
Negative manifestations of the dominance of male signs in the horoscope can be: arrogance, excessive love of freedom, despotism, tactlessness, disregard for other people's feelings, indiscriminateness in methods of achieving goals, self-affirmation at the expense of others.

Female Zodiac Signs
These are the so-called negative, supportive signs. The predominance of planets in female signs in the horoscope inclines a person to passivity, consumption, and conservation of energy. He has no control over the events of his life: he is carried by the flow of circumstances. He is driven by the desire to blend in with the crowd, to align himself with someone stronger.
A defensive life position dominates, focusing on preserving what already exists. Representatives of female signs become active only when they develop ideal conditions.

All Zodiac signs in the horoscope are divided into male and female Zodiac Signs. This division has nothing to do with gender. It denotes the energetic feature of representatives of two different zodiac groups and describes their life strategy. Find out which group your Zodiac Sign belongs to and how it characterizes you.
Male Zodiac Signs
Male Zodiac Signs include: Aries, Gemini, Leo Libra, Sagittarius and Aquarius. This zodiac group is also called active or positive. Male Zodiac Signs are more focused on creation, on the outside world and actions in society. Representatives of these Zodiac Signs have the energy inherent in men: independence, individualism, openness, ambition, leadership, large-scale thinking and action, love of freedom, and enterprise.
Very often, male Zodiac Signs suffer from an excess of energy, which is why they need to monitor their health, as this often causes them to develop various diseases with bright severe symptoms. Male Zodiac Signs have an inherent desire to change the world, make it their own, and influence the people around them. These are extroverts with a practical type of thinking.
Female Zodiac Signs
Female Zodiac Signs in the horoscope are Taurus, Cancer, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn, Pisces. Representatives of these constellations belong to the passive group of Zodiac Signs. They tend to conserve their energy, to consume rather than create. Female Zodiac Signs very often have no control over circumstances own life. More precisely, they do not tend to struggle with the flow of problems and obstacles in their path. They are looking for a person stronger than themselves. Very often they are attracted specifically to the male Zodiac Signs, since they will be able to give what they need.
Representatives of this group of Zodiac Signs have - defensive strategy life. These are introverts, for the most part. Receptivity, ignorance and lack of initiative makes them weak. Despite this, representatives of these constellations are constantly ready to work on themselves, improve and achieve new knowledge, skills and experience. Although they are slowly, they are moving towards their goal.

Love is above all in this world, but sometimes you have to woo men or look for ways to...
The predisposition to cheating is different for all people. Astrologers say that it largely depends on...
The predecessors of the arrow to indicate direction were: footprints - in Ancient Rome, forefinger- V Medieval Europe. For example, if you find yourself in Ancient Rome and see drawings on the wall female face and no trace, boldly go in this direction. This means hetaeras are waiting for you there!
The directional arrow began to be used in cartography to indicate the direction of rivers from the 17th century, but until late XIX For centuries, meticulous book publishers have depicted her with plumage. And only in the 20th century did the drawing become abstract.
Heart
Drawing a heart with your finger on the knee of your new friend in a bar, you hardly thought about the origin of this symbol. But, if you think about it, it’s even strange why this particular organ is responsible for love and why the drawing doesn’t look like a human heart, but rather like the heart of an amphibian. One can, of course, attribute everything to the imperfection of the techniques of ancient artists, because the sign of the heart (or whatever it is) is found even in the cave paintings of the Cro-Magnons. They used it, of course, not in the sense of “Aouyhh heart Eeeooooaa.”
Some scientists (we hope that their specialization does not include “researchers of hearts”) believe that this sign is not a heart at all, but the fruit of the silphium plant. The plant was widely used by the ancient Greeks as contraceptive. Its fruits were precisely heart-shaped. Silphium was highly valued for its properties, so images of heart-shaped fruits were even minted on coins.
According to another version, the heart is an ivy leaf, a symbol of Dionysus, the god of winemaking and other pleasures. It (the heart, not Dionysus) was used to decorate amphorae with wine, and this sign was also located above ancient Greek brothels.
The third interpretation comes from Christianity and elevates the symbol of the heart to the Sacred Heart, symbolizing the suffering of Christ. Here you will have to use all your logical abilities to connect one with the other, but, be that as it may, there is such a version!
And, finally, there are researchers who believe that the heart is... After all, what, if not the phallus, can be considered the most honest sign of love and affection?
Dollar sign
The sign that is now commonly used to represent the dollar (and that you would like to see in your payroll), was previously familiar with the peso. Its prototype is considered to be columns entwined with ribbon and symbolizing the Pillars of Hercules, from the coat of arms of Spain. Spain owned silver mines in Peru and Mexico, and coins minted there were in circulation in both the New and Old Worlds.
The second version raises the symbol right up to Ancient Rome And silver coin sestertius, whose sign was written as LLS, IIS, HS. When written abbreviated, the result was a figure similar to a dollar sign. The Roman theme was generally very popular during the Enlightenment: for example, the location of the US Congress is called the Capitol, and the Upper House of the US Congress is the Senate, as in Ancient Rome.
Asterisk
The asterisk has an impressive history. According to some sources, this icon was used by the ancient Sumerians, whose cuneiform script contains a similar sign to designate a god. But a more realistic version is that the symbol was introduced into use in the 2nd century BC. e. in the Library of Alexandria by the ancient philosopher Aristophanes of Byzantium.
Texts in those years were written without division into sentences and even words (worse than now on forums for young mothers), and Aristophanes once exclaimed: “Stop putting up with this!” - and began to put icons to distinguish words.
Radiation sign
The sign was invented in 1946 at the Nuclear Physics Laboratory at the University of Berkeley. According to one version, the circle in the center of the sign is an atom, and the three rays are alpha, beta and gamma radiation. Originally the sign was crimson on a blue field. But then, as part of standardization, the colors were replaced by black and yellow.
Male and female signs
The standard name for the symbols denoting the male and female genders is “Shield of Mars” and “Mirror of Venus”. However, the story is much more complicated and interesting.
In ancient astrology and alchemy, celestial objects were associated with various metals. The Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter and Saturn correspond to gold, silver, iron, mercury, copper, tin and lead. Natural scientist Carl Linnaeus, born in 1707, used alchemical symbols in his work Species Planturum. Saturn denoted trees, Jupiter - perennial plants. The Venus icon went to female plants, Mars to male plants, and Mercury to hermaphrodite plants.
