Alright, so I’ve been diving deep into symbolism lately, and “temperance” is a concept I wanted to understand better. So, I figured, why not explore its symbols? It’s like learning a secret language, you know?
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my notebook and pen. I’m old-school like that. Digital is fine, but sometimes you just gotta feel the paper, right? Then, I did some searching online.
The Research Phase
I spent a good few hours just reading. Some of the things that was mentioned that can related to temperance * wasn’t just about looking at pictures, I wanted to know the why behind each symbol.
- Water and Wine
- Number 14
- Circle inside a Square
- Red Triangle within a Square
- Bridle
- Ruler or Measuring Rod
Making it My Own
After all that reading, I started sketching. I’m no artist, but drawing helped me connect with the symbols. I doodled the classic image of the angel pouring liquid between two * I tried the triangle inside the square.
Putting it into Practice
It’s one thing to understand symbols intellectually, but another to actually feel them. So, I decided to incorporate them into my daily routine.
I started small, with that. Just a few minutes each morning to focus my intentions.
And you know what? It’s subtle, but I’m starting to notice a difference. It’s like the symbols are a little reminder, a nudge towards balance throughout my day. It’s a work in progress, for sure, but I’m feeling good about this journey.
