Years ago this symbol was shown to me by my ancestors and higher spirits. Its a combination of multiple Andinkra symbols which originated in Ghana. These are sacred symbols that illustrate universal truths, and are now used on a wider scale. Underneath the andinkra symbols you will see a merkaba, this symbol represents the energy sphere which carries creation to each dimension.
Together these symbols mean:
"With the Power of Love through the Heart, and with Courage, we can achieve Reconciliation, Long Lasting Peace, and Unity."
Below I have listed the Andinkra symbols and a short summary of its meaning, as well as an informational link to the meaning of more of the symbols.
