A journey into the language of signs, shapes, and sacred meanings
Have you ever pulled a card, cast a rune, or noticed a shape in the clouds — and felt it speak to something deep inside you? Maybe it wasn’t the words on the card that struck you, but the glint in a fox’s eye, the spiral of a shell, or a colour that seemed to hum with knowing. That’s the magic of symbology — and it’s everywhere.
This month at Soul Studio, we’re diving into the beautiful, layered world of symbology in divination. Whether you’re new to the path or have walked it barefoot for years, you’ll find that symbols are the beating heart of all divinatory practices. They’re how the unseen makes itself known. They’re how Spirit whispers — through shape, image, gesture, and resonance.
Why Symbols Matter in Divination
Symbols are more than decoration. They’re doorways.
Every tarot card, pendulum swing, rune shape, or casting bone holds a story. These tools are full of symbols — some ancient, some deeply personal — and each one is a thread in the tapestry of meaning we weave in a reading.
And here’s the real secret: symbols don’t just have one meaning. They carry layers — cultural, archetypal, intuitive, and emotional. What the High Priestess means to you might be completely different from what she means to someone else — and both are valid.
That’s what makes symbology so powerful in divination. It connects us not just to collective wisdom, but to our own inner knowing.
What to Expect This Month
Every day in August, we’ll explore a different symbol, image, or motif — from animals and numbers to elements and sacred shapes — and unpack its presence across various divinatory tools. Some posts will dive into tarot and oracle decks, others into runes, pendulums, or even signs from the world around us.
Expect insights, journal prompts, and the occasional nudge to see what’s already speaking to you in your own life.
A Little Glimpse from My Path…
I still remember one of the first times I really saw a symbol in a reading — not just noticed it, but felt it. It was a path that meandered off into the distance towards a building. I’d seen it a hundred times before, but that day it shimmered. It echoed something ancient and true. And it opened up a whole new level of understanding that changed the way I read — and the way I lived.
Have you ever had a moment like that? A symbol that seemed to leap out, light up, or settle into your bones like it had always belonged there?
