THE SIGIL OF THE ASCENSION OF THE DEAD

The sigil of the ascension of the dead was designed to symbolize the transmutation process the dead must go through before they can ascend and cross over into the light. On the left side of the sigil is the alchemical symbol for purification. The dead must purify themselves by letting go of their physical life and trust the living they leave behind will be cared for and are strong enough for what they will encounter. They must purify themselves by resolving any guilt issues, traumas, hurts and heal from any psychological, emotional and spiritual damage done to them. All dead must go through this purification process which is a natural cycle of the death state. Once the process of purification is over, the dead then are given a chance to perfect their “ethos” or “essence” by assisting other dead  in their purification process which in the sigil is symbolized by the alchemical symbol of “essence”,“quintessence” or “Soul.” The final stage in the ascension process for the dead is the becoming one with the light and crossing over into that light which is believed to be a super massive being of spiritual and multi-dimensional living light that all things are a part of. Everything within creation is part of this multi-dimensional and multi-universal being and everything within creation returns to it as all things are manifestations of it. This final process is symbolized by the elemental symbol of phosphorous which also is the alchemical and occult symbol for light. The three stages the dead must go through before their ascension is depicted by the three labyrinths or mazes formed in the shape of the Philosopher’s Stone.
