In these modern times, such beliefs might be deemed mere superstition – but you’d be surprised how many people still subscribe to them. Indeed, in metaphysics and prehistoric studies, symbols and omens are regarded as visible signs of an invisible reality. 

I have received many questions from readers about the meaning of scared symbols, how to use them, and how they can benefit an individual. They also ask about omens, especially about what they mean when they occur.  

Symbols act like keys that help an individual to attract a particular energy pattern he or she needs. Such patterns can relate to love, money, relationships, unity, studies, mental power, health, safety, spirituality, and peace of mind. 

How do you choose a symbol? When you see a symbol, you must feel a need to wear or carry it.  

A symbol can be used as long as you want; when you feel it has accomplished its purpose and you no longer need it, you can put it away for future use or pass it on to someone else. 

Symbols that are passed on to several people or down through the generations are viewed as powerful devices. This is because each person using it for the same purpose will enhance the energy it attracts and its effectiveness.  

Symbols and omens are vast and deep subjects; I will try to address some of the issues involved in future columns. 

A reminder: if you want to try any of these symbols, do so with respect and faith.  

The following symbols are used for various purposes and need to be either worn, displayed on the main door of a property, on walls and in vehicles. 

Amma and Sai Baba – The portraits of spiritual gurus Amma and Sai Baba are worn as a symbol by their followers to attract divine blessings and spiritual enlightenment. 

Abracadabra – This ancient phrase was used as a pendant in early days to protect the wearer from unholy spirits and the casting of an evil eye. The letters have to be written in a specific manner to invoke the word’s powers. 

Anchor – An auspicious sign that can either be worn or placed on the main door of a house. When used in the latter way, it protects the house from thieves and attracts good luck. 

Arrow – A symbol used for protection against negative energy and unholy spirits. 

Aum – A spiritual symbol that can bestow the wearer with prosperity, happiness, success, spiritual solitude, bliss and wisdom. It can be worn around the neck or as a ring by anyone.

Swastika – This is one of the most dominant symbols in Vasthu Sastra. It should be placed on a property’s main door facing outward at eye level to invite in good forces. The swastika provides mind, body and spirit balance and wards against negative energy.
