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. More About the History of the Symbol of Purity I would encourage you to take the time to meditate, research, contemplate, and tap into the energies of our Celtic forebears for your own personal Celtic symbols of purity. Birds were often symbolic vessels of purity as they exist at a higher vibration to live in the endless skies.Water with its clarifying and cleansing properties resonates purity.The sky that abounds is a blanket of purity.There are more diverse symbolic concepts that the ancient Celts embody in their daily life to convey “purity.”
