This symbol — a circle with a round dot in the middle — has dozens of meanings. It’s called a circumpunct, and it’s one of the most widely used
symbols in history.
The circumpunct has countless meanings. It’s the ancient symbol for gold. In ancient Egypt, it was the symbol for Ra—the sun god—and modern astronomy still uses it as the solar symbol. In Eastern philosophy, it represents the spiritual insight of the Third Eye, the divine rose, and the sign of illumination.
The Kabbalists use it to symbolize the Kether—the highest Sephiroth and ‘the most hidden of all hidden things.’ Early mystics called it the Eye of
God and it’s the origin of the All-Seeing Eye on the Great Seal. The Pythagoreans used the circumpunct as the symbol of the Monad—the Divine Truth, the Prisca Sapientia, the at-one-ment of mind and soul and the body.
Thus, the circumpunct is essentially the symbol of the Ancient Mysteries.
