What is a Symbol & its Significance

Updated on: May 11, 2023

Written by: Dawn Black (Witchipedia)

A symbol is an object, a sound, or an image that represents another object, sound, idea, entity, belief, or action.

Historical Significance of Symbols

Symbols have been used throughout history for magical and mundane purposes. Symbols are seen everywhere in our world.

Alphabets are symbols that represent sounds and in some cases, ideas and they can be combined to represent other ideas and sounds.

Numerals are symbols that represent quantities and, for some, ideas. Musical notes are symbols for sounds.

The shapes and colors of street signs and lights become connected with the ideas they represent so that we know that a red octagon means stop, even if the word (also a symbol) is not written on it because the shape and color itself have become a symbol for the idea.

I am a homesteading hearth witch who grew up along the shores of the Hudson River and has lived among the Great Lakes for the past 20 years. Together with my musical husband and youngest child, I steward a one-acre mini homestead with herb, vegetable and flower gardens, chickens, ducks, geese and rabbits, and areas reserved for native plants and wildlife.

I have three children; two are grown, and I have been practicing magick alone and with family and friends for over 30 years.
