Caduceus. The Hermetic Golden Staff. The Symbol Of Deep Mysticism In A White Background. Stock Image

Caduceus is Hermes' scepter. A symbol of deep Hellenic and Egyptian mysticism. Two golden fire snakes spiral around a staff seven times. Two wings spread open at the head level of the snakes. The staff extends upward and ends up at a sphere. This symbol has passed down to us through the ancient texts of Hermes Trismegistus. Known in Egypt later as Thoth. It symbolizes Theosis. The state of enlightenment a being reaches and their passing into immortality. The snake represents the mastery of the material world and it's seven heaven layers. It is the kundalini force that rises up through a pure person and shoots upward into the solar plains. Heaven, Elysium. The rod in the middle represents the spine with it's seven energy centers described by Plato. Known today as Chakras by the Eastern doctrines. The open wings represent the lightness of the soul flying above the heavy material dark world. The sphere has no ends and represents God, the divine existence. Kundalini is pure fire and fire is light. If a person is not completely pure from all darkness then this fire can consume him or her. In short, this symbol represents the narrow path into the eternal. No wonder it is shaped like a cross in it's essence. Gold is the purest form of material. It is free from any decay and energy flows pure through it. That is why this item is painted completely golden. The background is white and can easily be removed to make a transparent PNG image.
