Symbology of GG's Wings?

[Rainy]

Hello everyone,

I've been curious about what the symbology is, of the specific wings that Imeo chose as his logo for the GGs. Prior to making this post to ask Imeo what it is, I googled 'wings' and the following was one description:

In Greece, Hermes had winged heels, symbol of the traveller and the messenger, of dreams, of impulse, of movement. The Greeks represented Love and Victory with wings. According to Plato, wings represent Intelligence and Understanding. That is the reason why they are associated with certain fabulous animals, such as pegasus, representing the sublimation of the specific symbolism of the animal.

Interesting don't you think?

It looks similar to the emblem on the American Spirit cigarettes. I can't find a picture of one, though.

Thanks, vinyl. The one on the package is a bit different than on the cigarette itself, I think. But it's still close.

That American Spirit symbol reminds me very much of the symbol they use to represent the Persian prophet Zoroaster.

 

[truelove]

Oh my goodness Vinyl, what a lovely picture of it. Mine isn't that clear at all. Yes....I see that is the Grant. Excellent.

Seriously, I was trying to find a picture identical to that. I'd like to know what it is but haven't been able to locate it.

The wings on the American Spirit remind me of the Thunderbird. I checked the Zoroaster's wings and they are different.

What are the caduceus’ symbolism and history?

The staff with the two coiled serpents is very ancient. Depictions are found in Mesopotamia from about 3000 BC. It is also said to be used in Atlantis and ancient Egypt. The exact meaning of the snakes, the staff, and the wings is unknown.
In Greek mythology the caduceus is the Wand of Hermes, also called Staff of Hermes. It originated as a willow wand with entwined ribbons which later evolved into snakes. Hermes, the messenger, is the Greek deification of the Egyptian god Thoth, the bringer of writing and the sciences. In ancient Rome, he was known as Mercury. The teaching of Thoth, aka Hermes Trismegistos, formed the basics of Alchemy, or Hermeticism; therefore the appearance of the caduceus in alchemical texts.

The power of the caduceus stems from it’s symbology:
The two snakes are supposed to symbolize the opposing energies of yin and yang, male and female, or the two channels of the Kundalini energy – ida and pingala. Some go even further and associate the snakes with the double helix of our dna.
The wings and the stone represent the connection with the higher consciousness.

Since the beginning of the nineteen-hundreds the caduceus is used as a logo for the U.S. Army Medical Corps, and from there was wrongly adopted by the healing profession as a symbol of the medical profession – used on uniforms, advertising, and signs.
Purists of the profession prefer the Staff of Asclepius – a staff with a single serpent – which originates from Greek mythology.

——————-

The caduceus pendant shown at the top is one of my bespoke designs of spiritual jewellery. Two copper snakes are coiled around a silver staff, topped with copper wings, and crowned with a dark blue lapis lazuli. Lapis lazuli is a gemstone much revered in ancient Egypt (which links this gem stone with Thoth aka Hermes and alchemy). Ground up to a fine powder it was used in ancient times to make ‘ultramarine’ blue for oil-paintings. It is regarded as the stone of friendship and truth. It is reputed to help its wearer being an authentic individual who may openly state his or her opinion. Lapis lazuli resonates to Archangel Michael, the Archangel of protection, courage, and truth.

This caduceus is designed according to sacred geometry, around seven centres, spread along the central staff according to the ratio of the square numbers of 1 to 7.
The number Seven is associated with the (seven) major chakras; the 7 days of the week; a 7 year cycle through the chakras, renewing itself every 7 times 7 years.
