Symbol - Vine

From Widkipedia
 The grape vine (typically Vitis vinifera) has been used as a symbol since ancient times. In Greek mythology, Dionysus (called Bacchus by the Romans) was god of the vintage and, therefore, a grape vine with bunches of the fruit are among his attributes. His attendants at the Bacchanalian festivals hence had the vine as an attribute, together with the thyrsus, the
latter often entwined with vine branches. For the same reason, the Greek wine cup (cantharos) is commonly decorated with the vine and grapes, wine being drunk as a libation to the god.

In Christian iconography, the vine also frequently appears. It is mentioned several times in the New Testament. We have the parable of the kingdom of heaven likened to the father starting to engage laborers for his vineyard. The vine is used as symbol of Jesus Christ based on his own statement, “I am the vine.” In that sense, a vine is placed as sole symbol on the tomb of Constantia, the sister of Constantine the Great, and elsewhere. In Byzantine art, the vine and grapes figure in early mosaics, and on the throne of Maximianus of Ravenna it is used as a decoration.

The vine as symbol of the chosen people is employed several times in the Old Testament. The vine and wheat ear have been frequently used as symbol of the blood and flesh of Christ, hence figuring as symbols (bread and wine) of the Eucharist and are found depicted on ostensories. Often the symbolic vine laden with grapes is found in ecclesiastical decorations with animals biting at the grapes. At times, the vine is used as symbol of temporal blessing.

Symbolic Celtic Meaning of the Vine

  • Regeneration
  • Continuation
  • Opportunity
  • Connection
  • Expansion
  • Fertility
  • Bounty
This is a powerful metaphor of "going with the flow" or "growing where you are planted." In other words, it is a message that when we observe the best of our environment/situation and stay in a relaxed, flowing state of mind, will likely gain our highest advantage.

Nevertheless, in spite of the philosophical urgings to take things as they may come, the thorns of these vines are symbolic of defending or protecting ourselves when necessary.

Dove - Peace

Symbols Snake, Eagle, Bird & Cat

... interventions can be found in all ancient mythologies, that speak of how the 'Gods' keep on meddling in human affairs, and keep on having fights among each other over these interventions... Quite often these mythological stories mention snake people, which usually is a reference to the Sirians, whereas bird, eagle or cat people usually refer to the Lyrans and Pleiadians.
(Sometimes, however, the 'snake people' are a reference to a third group of aliens, the Draconian group, or 'Lizzies.' Even though there are indications that these aliens, too, have been around on this planet for tens of thousands of years, they have only recently started playing an active part in its history, again!).

 At a given moment in time, members of this Sirian Group started needing ‘workers' to assist them in colonizing the planet. Through genetic manipulation they created mankind, by blending their own DNA with the DNA of earth primates and the predecessors of man (Neanderthal).

From that moment on, Earth becomes the scene of constant disputes between, mainly, two groups of alien civilizations.
  • On the one hand, there are the Sirians, joined by some Vega\Vegans, some (renegade) Pleiadians and some Orion civilizations
  • On the other hand there are the Pleiadians and the Lyrans, also joined by some Orion civilizations
The fights nearly always were over mankind, and on several occasions they interfered in our history.

Life has initiated its return towards the Great Light and in these moments we have to define ourselves by becoming eagles or reptiles, Angels or demons.

Symbology - the Colors Red and Blue

From:  The History, Principles and Practice of Symbolism in Christian Art
"On another mummy case a man is depicted as suddenly falling dead to the ground, while above him stands another erect and with outstretched arms.
The mortal man is painted red;
the spiritual man, his risen soul, is blue, the colour of the sky."

From: matrixunderground on occult meaning
"The Red Queen has been found . . . It is Venus also called our “sister” Planet. There sky is red Our sky is blue."

Symbols for Heaven and Creator - Pyramid, Dots and Circles

Symbology of the Apple

For this I have many different interpretations
from The book of symbols by J.E. Cirlot:
"Apple Being almost spherical in shape, the apple signifies totality. It is symbolic of earthly desires, or of indulgence in such desires. The warning not to eat the forbidden apple came, therefore, from the mouth of the supreme being, as a warning against the exaltation of materialistic desire (15). The intellect, the thirst for knowledge—as Nietzsche realized—is only an intermediate zone between earthly desire and pure spirituality. "

Golden Apples
Hera may derive from Hebat of Anatolia, who became Hebe in Greece and Eve among Semitic peoples.
In ancient Greek, Hebe means 'spring growth' and only later 'virgin,' and may once have meant 'life' as Eve does now.
The golden apples from Hera's orchards could grant immortality.  They were guarded by her sacred snake or dragon, which may have been a form of Hera herself.
The apples acted in two ways, either as as a replacement heart in the afterlife, or by revealing holy knowledge to insure rebirth, This knowledge begins with Rhea's sacred pentacle hidden within each apple.
Eventually it was said only mermaids could eat the apples, perhaps because they were the only ones who could reach them.

Symbol of Acacia and Red and White

"Acacia This shrub, which bears white or pink blooms, was considered sacred  by the Egyptians, partly, no doubt, because of its dual coloration and also because of the great mystic importance of the white-red principle (8). In Hermetic doctrine, according to GĂ©rard de Nerval in his Voyage en Orient (9), it symbolizes the testament of Hiram which teaches that ‘one must know how to die in order to live again in eternity’. It occurs with this particular symbolic meaning (that is, the soul and immortality) in Christian art, especially the Romanesque (20)."
