The Red Pilgrim: Mandalas and Highly evolved spiritual art Meaning of Octad painting by The Red Pilgrim

Symbols used in symbolic paintings always depend upon the artist and their understanding and representation of that particular symbol. Octad is a very powerful sacred geometry symbol. symbol

I have used the 'Octad' in this beautiful large canvas painting Perfection In Octad, which is being explained here. This rarely used symbol is a very important symbol and has been used since ancient times to express harmony. An octad represents total completeness.

A powerful symbol Octad has been seen in ancient scriptures and old books Egyptians and Sufi's had the use of this symbol in making alchemy art. I read a lot about this, the symbol is really powerful and Amazing. In the Persian Sufism it was used to represent eight parts of heaven.

In ancient texts I found the reference to body energies diving the whole body into eight sectors of energy levels.

Meaning of symbol Octad- A group or set of eight.

The octad has eight sides and at a glance it looks like two squares overlapping at opposite junctions. Just like a diamond shape the octad is a very powerful symbol.

It represents the perfect environment, both physical and mental balance leading to total harmony of body and soul. The joining of two squares in shape of diamond indicates the inner space and the outer space of any individual. It leads the psyche to 'I am' aware and present here'. In simple words it is the balance of existence and awareness of existence. Eight being an very important number according to numerology and feng shui eight corners of the octad are very important to express totality.

The structure of octad having eight corners and generally gives rise to feelings of aspiration and also constraint. Both squares have complementary functions; the diamond shape evokes feelings of activeness whereas the square shape evokes feelings of stability.

The history of the symbol octad being used goes long back from the Greek to the Arabs and the Buddhists. The most famous Buddhist structures and paintings have the symbol of the wheel which again is a form of the octad indicating unending limitless form.

The urge for progress and to reach out far can be expressed using a square. What best than to use an octad having eight corners representing many aspects. The top of the diamond expresses the upper maximum limit of rise or also heaven luck whereas the down part indicates lowest. The sides in the square are expansions from side directions.

In perfect harmony the octad represents totality and completeness. Here I would like to mention that in existence, our environment and physical as well as emotional and astral all are changing. In fact there is no static energy anywhere and since it is moving and changing the whole concept is an artist’s dream of reaching total and complete perfection. A moment of ecstasy or a captured frame in a picture all represent totality and in turn bring us to the experience of the Octad.

Deep and vast explanation of the symbol octad it is and will always be one of the most beautiful symbols. The painting I did was a powerful intention one to bring action in life. the energy of movement, the directed force towards a successful fulfilled life. There is a flow, a movement, a visual mystical energy in form of mandala.

Two squares one large and other slanting and just touching, two squares one overlapping and the other trying to come out and often two squares merging with one another all have been a part of my paintings and journey as a symbolic artist. The inner square or space is very important and it is here that all the action takes place as well as progress.

Symbols used in mandala paintings the octad is also an of the important symbols in Buddhist art and sculptures. With the number eight as a powerful symbol all eight sides in harmony indicate totality and complete harmony. The center is the individual and it is here that all the desired action can take place to improve ones self and the eight spikes lead to fulfillment of desires, needs, realization of self which gives us makes our survival instinct stronger. Two overlapping squares have been used by children to draw and represent a diamond or star shape and thus the octad has been in our lives without we realizing its meaning and importance.
