There are a number of symbols used on this website …..
The LOGO
The logo, of course, is a representation of the website name, but why SilverWolfMoon? Ah! I wish I had a good answer but the fact is the thought just popped into my head and I felt it was ‘right’. Methinks, however, that the Archangel Gabriel had a hand in it. Why? Well …..
Gabriel’s colour is silver, his animal correspondence is the wolf, and he is Lord of the Moon. Not only that but the wolfmoon occurs in January, which is ruled by Gabriel (northern hemisphere).
And if that isn’t enough, consider this:
According to Buddhist teachings the number of your birth year holds special significance and your birth month corresponds to a particular spirit animal. Given that this site launched on 16 September 2024, the date becomes even more significant.
The 16th was a Monday (Gabriel’s day), which seemed rather appropriate to me!!
The last number is 4, which represents building a solid foundation in material, emotional or spiritual terms. That’s one of the reasons for this website – to help you build a solid foundation in your life where spirituality (in all its forms) is a contributor.
The spiritual animal for September is the owl, who brings a strong connection to mystery and the unknown, and wisdom and clarity to people who are interested in spiritual, philosophical and occult subjects. Another reason this website exists – to provide you with knowledge you may not have known or understood, or to deepen the knowledge you already have.
As an aside, the wolf is the spirit animal connected to January!
In numerology, the birthdate would be reduced to one digit, so if you add 1+6+9+2+2+4, you’ll get 24, which is reduced to a 6. Six is the number of family and all the emotions that go along with it … family is associated with the astrological sign of Cancer … ruled by the Archangel Gabriel.
Also in numerology, the 16 represents struggles but has the energy of heading in a positive direction. The one represents leadership and the six represents trust and love. Together they signify that SilverWolfMoon could be a leader in the field of spiritual knowledge and is trustworthy.
Add 1 and 6, you’ll get 7 – the number of the mysterious and spiritual, and associated with creativity and intuition.
With all of that, you can see why SilverWolfMoon’s tag line celebrates spirituality and inner wisdom.
NAMASTE
This word is derived from the Sanskrit language, where ‘nama’ means bow, and ‘te’ means you. When it is said, the hands are in the prayer position, at heart level.
Namaste means “I bow to the divine in you”, which for many Westerners translates as Welcome. It is a way of showing respect, gratitude, and love towards yourself and others.
You are indeed welcomed. SilverWolfMoon greets you on a heart-felt level, knowing that we are all connected spiritually, and that through this website you may find many truths to assist you on your journey to being a better person than
ORANGE (Colour)
There are many traditions and practices where the colour orange is of great spiritual significance. Using orange on this website is an acknowledgement that we live in a global environment, and that (eventually) the topics covered on this website will show that spirituality (in all its forms) is a bridge which spans both time and space.
The colour represents transformation … and it is the hope of this website that you will transform in some way by what you read and experience here.
SUNRISE
From a spiritual viewpoint, sunrise symbolises new beginnings of all kinds. It has been chosen for the Resources page because it is the page that offers you a range of topics to deepen your understanding, to address your curiosity, and to provide new learning or ‘aha’ moments.
DRAGONFLY
Most of the products in the shop are designed for you to do something! It is, if you like, the next step from some of the topics you may have read from the Resources page.
When you undertake this next step, you have no choice but to transform in some way on one or more energetic levels: mentally, emotionally, physical, spiritually, vibrationally.
That’s why the dragonfly was chosen. It is a powerful symbol of positive qualities such as courage, transformation, joy, and adaptability. To take this next step you need courage … you will transform … your transformation will bring you joy …. and through joy you will become more adaptable and flexible to the ever-changing aspects of Life.
ANGEL WINGS
Most of the services offered are rooted in angel guidance, so it made sense to have a representation of the angels on the Services page.
All angel messages and guidance are based in love and truth, and will always be for your highest good and greatest joy, helping you become the best person you can be in whatever circumstances you find yourself, and giving you hope when all seems lost.
LOTUS FLOWER
Across many disciplines, the lotus flower represents enlightenment, divinity, spirituality, spiritual awakening and rebirth.
It symbolizes rising from a dark place into beauty and rebirth (which is exactly how the lotus flower grows and how your spiritual journey unfolds).
It has been chosen for the newsletter icon for all the reasons above. In addition, it holds you in its centre to help you grow your inner wisdom.
