EPEE Exploring Sword Symbolism
Kathleen Stecklair McGinty
Explorant le symbolisme de l'épée
Comme un symbole alchimique, l'épée est un symbole de purification. Ici, nous expérimentons l'épée métaphorique piercing proprement l'âme spirituelle de l'homme. Cette action symbolique sacrifices physiques bondage pour libérer un chemin d'accès à ethereal (éclairé) liberté.
Dans le bouddhisme le symbolisme de l'épée traite de la discrimination de la pensée. Dans cette optique, épées découper l'ignorance.
Comme un symbole celtique, l'épée est réputée pour être associé à Nuada, le premier roi des Tuatha Dé Danann. En fait, grande épée de Nuada est considéré comme l'un des quatre trésors celtiques (Pierre, lance, épée, chaudron). Nuada était associée à des forces surnaturelles du Royaume sous-marin. Aujourd'hui, l'archéologie révèle plusieurs épées celtiques antiques trouvées sous l'eau. Il peut s'agir d'offres de Nuada faite par les anciens Celtes honorant leur ancêtre en passant leurs sabres dans les eaux ; assurant efficacement la puissance de Nuada traverse farouchement leurs propres veines tribales.
Il s'agit d'une déclaration puissante comme nous le voyons des épées celtiques étaient considérées comme une extension de leur état d'être. Pour renoncer à un tel objet intensément personnels et significatif est en effet un honneur. Nuada est censé reconnaître ce sacrifice et vivre longtemps dans le cœur des hommes, qui reconnaissent sa noblesse avec le geste sacrificiel.
Les épées de la tribu du Congo en Afrique centrale sont profondément symboliques de la transition. Plus précisément, nous voyons que les quillons (Croix de la garde sur la poignée) des épées ont été conçus de sorte qu'un côté tourne vers le ciel, les autres partît de tours de côté. C'est censé être symbolique de la puissante connexion entre ciel et terre et encore solidifier le symbolisme de la vie et la mort.
Dans le christianisme, le symbolisme de l'épée traite de protection, la justice et la justice. Nous voyons qu'archange Michael dépeints dans l'art chrétien, tenant une épée (également avec les échelles) pour renforcer la notion de vérité, pureté, la sérénité et la justesse a révélé à la lumière de Christ. Par ailleurs, nous voyons l'épée (souvent enflammées) en bloquant les portes de l'Eden en signe de protection - seulement les purs de cœur peuvent entrer.
Dans les rêves de symbolisme chinois d'épées indiquer le sexe de naissance. On croit que vous rêvez d'une femme tirant une épée d'eau indique la naissance d'un fils. Plusieurs épées ensemble danse épées en un rêve indique le rêveur est éprouver une crainte de limitation et ou d'éviter les problèmes de la mort.

Dans le langage symbolique du Tarot, épées représentent le Royaume de l'esprit, plus précisément la navigation de la pensée. Tout comme l'épée est exercée par son maître, donc trop les pensées peuvent être adressées par la formation consciente de l'esprit. Un esprit non averti (celle qui est inexpérimenté en brandissant le pouvoir de la pensée) devra faire face à de nombreux défis. Ces défis sont habilement illustrés dans le costume de l'épée du Tarot. J'ai écrit des pensées sur le symbolisme épée Tarot et comment elle s'inscrit admirablement avec le Tarot symbolique.
Épée symbolique dans les rêves
Que rêver de symboles, épées dressées les significations suivantes de la psyché :
Caractère
Chevalerie
Vérité
Détermination
Amour
Freud voudrait nous faire croire que l'épée dans nos rêves est un symbole phallique. Si nous nous complaisons à cela, nous pouvons voir certaine validité. Visuellement, philosophiquement et énergiquement l'épée partage de nombreuses similitudes avec l'organe masculin comme autant de masculinité et toutes ses manifestations.
Freud n'est pas le seul qui reconnaît les questions de genre masculin dans le symbolisme de l'épée.
Études arthuriennes dessiner des corrélations entre les sexes entre Excalibur représentant les principes (phalliques) mâles et son insertion dans la pierre - la pierre étant symbolique du principe féminin (vagin).
Épée significations selon les principes mâle/femelle
Comme un principe masculin, l'épée est le :
La force active
La fonction motrice
L'élément conquérante de l'existence
La gaine dans laquelle se trouve l'épée est considérée comme le principe féminin qui représente :
La force passive
La fonction de protection
L'élément nutritif/soutien d'existence
Doubles épées tranchantes donnent le symbolisme de la dualité de la nature et les pouvoirs de doubles de la manifestation. Ici nous voyons la création ainsi que la destruction (mort et vie) logé dans l'instrument.
J'aime assez la fabrication de l'épée elle-même - sa création - comme une source supplémentaire de symbolisme. Fabrication de l'épée est un art ancien et honorable qui utilise tous les éléments de l'univers. Feu, eau, Air et terre sont tous impliqués avec la naissance de l'épée, et comme tel, nous pouvons intégrer symbolisme d'unité, totalité et créativité avec la signification de l'épée.
Vu sous tous les angles, étant donné le temps et vous commencerez à voir votre propre symbolisme épée personnelle de contemplation. Par exemple, j'ai utiliser l'épée comme un outil de méditation - visualisation il fendant de toute brume ou l'ambiguïté que j'éprouve en ce moment. Tout à fait efficace.
Si vous cherchez un symbole de la force ou un symbole d'équilibre, il devrait être clair que l'épée encapsule une myriade de significations parmi lesquelles choisir. Investir le temps de méditer sur les profondeurs philosophiques de l'épée -

Exploring Sword Symbolism
As an alchemical symbol the sword is a symbol of purification. Here we experience the metaphorical sword cleanly piercing the spiritual soul of man. This symbolic action sacrifices physical bondage to release a path to ethereal (enlightened) freedom.
In Buddhism the sword symbolism deals with discrimination of thought. In this light, swords cut away ignorance....
As a Celtic symbol, the sword is reputed to be associated with Nuada, the first king of Tuatha De Danann. In fact, Nuada's great sword is considered one of the four Celtic treasures (sword, stone, spear, cauldron). Nuada was associated with the supernatural forces of the underwater realm. Today, archeology reveals many ancient Celtic swords found under water. These may be offerings to Nuada made by ancient Celts honoring their forebear by passing their broadswords into the waters; effectively insuring the power of Nuada runs fiercely through their own tribal veins.
This is a powerful statement as we see Celtic swords were considered as an extension of their beingness. To relinquish such a intensely personal and meaningful object is indeed an honor. Nuada is said to recognize this sacrifice and live long within the hearts of men who recognize his nobility with the sacrificial gesture.
The swords of the Congo tribe in Central Africa are deeply symbolic of transition. Specifically, we see the quillons (cross guard on the hilt) of swords were designed so that one side turns heavenward, the other side turns earthwards. This is said to be symbolic of the powerful connection between sky and earth, and further solidifying the symbolism of life and death.
In Christianity the sword symbolism deals with protection, righteousness, and justice. We see archangel Michael depicted in Christian art holding a sword (also with scales) to reinforce the concept of truth, purity, equanimity, and the justness revealed in the light of Christ. Furthermore, we see the sword (often flaming) blocking the gates of Eden as a sign of protection - only the pure of heart may enter.
In Chinese symbolism dreams of swords indicate birth gender. It is believed that dreaming of a woman drawing a sword from water indicates the birth of a son. Many swords together or dancing swords in a dream indicates the dreamer is experiencing a fear of limitation and or avoiding death issues. Quick-List of Symbolic Sword Meanings

In the symbolic language of the Tarot, swords represent the realm of the mind, specifically the navigation of thought. Just as the sword is wielded by its master, so too may thoughts be directed by conscious training of the mind. An untrained mind (one that is inexperienced in wielding the power of thought) will face many challenges. These challenges are deftly illustrated in the sword suit of the Tarot. I've written thoughts about Tarot sword symbolism and how it dovetails beautifully with the symbolic Tarot. Sword Symbolism in Dreams
As dream symbols, swords erect the following meanings from the psyche:
Character Chivalry Truth Determination Love
Freud would have us believe the sword in our dreams is a phallic symbol. If we indulge this, we can see some validity. Visually, philosophically and energetically the sword shares many similarities to the male organ as well as masculinity and all its manifestations.
Freud isn't the only one who recognized male gender issues in sword symbolism.
Arthurian studies draw gender correlations between Excalibur representing male (phallic) principles and its insertion into the stone - the stone being symbolic of the female (vaginal) principle. Sword Meanings According to Male/Female Principles
As a masculine principle, the sword is the:
The active force The driving feature The conquering element of existence
The sheath in which the sword is housed is considered the feminine principle representing:
The passive force The protective feature The nutritive/supportive element of existence
Double edged swords give us symbolism of duality of nature and the dual powers of manifestation. Here we see creation as well as destruction (death and life) housed in the instrument.
I rather like the making of the sword itself - its creation - as a further source of symbolism. Sword making is an ancient and honorable craft which utilizes all the elements of the universe. Fire, Water, Air, and Earth are all involved with the birthing of the sword and as such we can incorporate symbolism of unity, balance, totality and creativity with the meaning of swords.
Seen from all angles, given time, and contemplation you will begin to see your own personal sword symbolism. For example, I utilize the sword as a meditative tool - visualizing it slicing through any haze or ambiguity I am experiencing in the moment. Quite effective.
Whether you are looking for a symbol of strength or a symbol of balance it should be clear the sword encapsulates a myriad of meanings from which to choose. Invest the time to meditate upon the philosophical depths of the sword - discover your own personal meanings of this object.
