Lastly, I invite you to consider the above shown diamond symbols (more accurately, triangle symbols), which are also alchemical in origin. These symbols are considered to be the building blocks of all matter, of everything. We see that each is comprised of the same triangular/diamond/crystal features we've been investigating in this exploratory essay.
Indeed, diamonds themselves are made from carbon, which is a foundational building block of matter.
Furthermore, the diamond symbol is synonymous with refracting light to the alchemist's perspective. As such, the diamond and triangle symbol is indicative of the journey our souls make while we are achieving higher understanding (it is an enlightened or clarified soul that is able to refract its light from the insight out and serve as a beacon to the outer world). The goal for mankind is to walk a path on which our souls will shine and sparkle as brightly as diamonds.
On this path there will be many labyrinth turns (representative of the angles and facets of the diamond). But if we travel the path with honorable hearts, and if we are aware of the reflective nature of our lives (our actions reflecting in our reality), we will Agnes Pelton, Alchemy, 1937-39. accomplish our mission of light.
I hope you have enjoyed these diamond symbols and thoughts on the diamond symbol meaning and triangle symbol cousins.
