Flower Of Life Wood Carving Sacred Geometry Wall Art, Meditation Decor

MEANING: The Flower Of Life is an ancient geometric symbol said to contain religious values depicting the fundamental forms of space & time. It is a visual expression of the connections life weaves through all sentient beings. This symbol is found in the art & architecture of many different cultures & traditions around the world. Egyptian, Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, & Christian cultures all have representations of this symbol. The oldest known example can be found in the Temple Of Osiris on a wall relief & is believed to be about 6,000 years old. in New Age thought, the Flower of Life has provided what is considered to be deep spiritual meaning & forms of enlightenment to those who have studied it as sacred geometry. There are various groups all over the world who derive particular beliefs & forms of meditation based (at least in part) on the Flower of Life. in the Judeo-Christian tradition, the stages which construct the Seed of Life are said to represent the seven days of Creation, in which Elohim created life; Genesis 2:2-3, Exodus 23:12, 31:16-17, Isaiah 56:6-8. Within these stages, among other things, are the symbols of the Vesica Piscis, an ancient religious symbol, & Borromean rings, which represents the Holy Trinity. THE CARVING: Our carvings are single pieces of western red cedar, designed & carved to be wall hangings. Each carving begins as a 1 X 12-inch cedar board. While we use power tools (Scroll Saw, Rotary shaft Tool, handheld detail sanders, etc.), we use no lasers, CNC machines, or computer-operated cutting machines. All work is done with our hands & eyes... We cut the 2-dimensional blanks with scroll & jig saws (double-sized custom orders have to be cut with a jigsaw). Carving is done with rotary shaft tools & disc grinders. The 80-grit sanding is the final phase of the carving process, removing the nicks & gouges from the carving tools, & finishes the shaping of the weave. The next 2 sandings with 120 & then 220 grit finishes the smoothing & polishing. They are finished with Clear Danish Oil to seal the piece, bringing out the grain & the color.
