About a symbol

Post by nessuno »

Is there any meaning for an infinity symbol with a plus and a minus inscribed in the loops?

I think I've seen it on a Chaos magick book, but I ain't sure...

Thanks.

Yin and Yang,

This symbol appears to convey a marriage of polarity with infinity.
Seemingly infinite quality/diversity of units, and spectra within creation.

Also, the seemingly infinite journey of the Magickian from the negative aspects
of the material world to the absolute positivity of the Divine.

The second one goes with what Desecrated said to a degree, begin journey; end journey.
Beginning and end, Alpha Omega. Although, Eternity is more suitable in this context.

Eternity is relative to boundless time, or the absence/transcendence of it, non-linear as in a
circle, but not literally.

Else: Infinity. A mathematical expression. Boundless units/things as opposed to boundless time.

There's also a correlation between the negative feminine aspects,
and the positive masculine of the Yin and Yang within the symbol to
that of the negative and positive pillars of the Tree Of Life. Negative
also being associated with severity, and positive with mercy.

The positive and negative complement each other to achieve unity,
or equilibrium, hence the Middle Pillar. The most popular choice among
Occultists.

Beginnings to ends, ends to new beginnings. And it never stops.

I like the yin and yang explanation better than my first answer, So I'll officially change it to that.

It can't stop, because it never started.

Anyways, we will know the truth once again, before we forget. It's just one thing though,
Creation has so much to offer; I do enjoy indulging in the mundane! And without the gift
of Forgetfulness, I would be bored shitless by now!

Peace Brother!
