♦ This symbol is also known as a consecration cross or gamma cross to the ancient Christian church. ♦ In early pre-medieval Europe, the sign is said to represent high power, and a ruler’s ability to navigate through the challenges of leadership (the circle representing a tribe, the center cross represents a compass). ♦ As a pagan symbol, it represents the wheel of time demarcating the 4 prime fire festivals (2 solstices and 2 equinoxes) honoring the sacred Mother (nature/earth) and her procession. ♦ On ancient rock-carvings, scholars presume the symbol indicates the sun (and presumably its transits into the solstices and equinoxes). To wit: More About the Ailm Celtic Symbol for Purity This is what I know – this symbol has many meanings to many cultures over a broad span of generations. How did TSR derive this symbol to mean what it does in their slave culture? As mentioned, I’ve submitted an inquiry, but have received no response.Ĭeltic Symbol for purity in the Celtic Ogham I find it interesting the woman who emailed me this information about this symbol being a representation of female sex slavery only included an image of the symbol – she neglected to include a history or the process of how the TSR (The Slavery Register) came to dub this symbol as the meaning they ascribe to it. Hypothesizing and intuiting is everyone’s responsibility when mining symbol meanings – especially when understanding a meaning that belongs to an ancient group of people whose ways are shrouded in mystery due to insubstantial documentation of their history left in their wake. Other than the Ogham, the Celts left us no written language to explain their symbolic meanings. However, I made it very clear that these connections are conjecture. Although, I did draw associations between the Celtic idea of the circle and the equal-armed cross (commonly known as the Ailm sign in the Ogham) to substantiate themes of purity.
This symbol has been alive and kicking in the real world for a very long time. The person who emailed me also accused me of fabricating this symbol, making it up. The symbol has also been seen on pre-Columbian rock carvings. Here’s my point: This symbol is ancient, with its first debut in human culture over 4,000 years ago to denote a sun cross – an ancient reference to the sacredness of solar energy and the procession of seasons (the 4 branches representing the 2 solstices and 2 equinoxes – marks on the ancient wheel of time of mammoth import).

As far as the culture is concerned…um, well, a culture of sexual dominants and submissives? I don’t even know how to interpret or research this culture, and frankly, I would rather not even go there. I’ve asked how they logically derived this symbol to mean female bondage, and have been given no answer. Well, The Slave Registry claims to have been in business since the year 2000. So, in order to defend or deny this symbol as an icon for female bondage, we have to ask the question: Who initiated it as such? When was it initiated with this meaning? What’s the era and culture surrounding this facet of meaning? They change in meaning according to what culture, what era, and by whom they are held. This illustrates the point I’ve been making for years: Symbols are subjective. She gave me the link to TSR (The Slave Registry, if you can believe that), in which this symbol is shown to represent a female submissive (mistress, sex-captive). She claimed this same symbol is a common brand for modern female sex slaves, as in, consensual master/slave ownership and possession relationships. I got an email from someone arguing the validity of this icon as a Celtic symbol for purity. This can present a great variety of meanings. Different cultures adopt symbols and apply their own meaning to them. As the case with many symbols, their meaning morphs over the centuries. This particular symbol has been around for a very long time.
