ACCOMPLISHMENTS, VICTORIES An obelisk is a tapering tower that appears as tall and thin column with a pyramid at its top. Hundreds of obelisks are scattered on this planet, left behind as a reminder of ancient cultures that once flourished across the Earth. Many early humans revered the obelisk's design as tribute to deities that controlled the sun. Even in modern times, humans have continued to construct these pillars as symbols of victories and accomplishments. The tallest modern obelisk is the Washington monument in the United States, which stands over 555 feet tall. In Illuminati symbolism, the obelisk signifies accomplishments and success. Early obelisks were constructed from a single stone that required immeasurable effort to carve, polish, and craft into a perfect tower. But even though the names of the builders have been lost to history, the results of their efforts have continued to stand for thousands of years. Through its physical representation of a singular unit, an obelisk represents the enormous power that hides behind the daily decisions made by every human - even if they are never aware of the efforts of their choices or of the victories that are theirs to claim. The obelisk represents the ability of every person to dedicate their efforts to the advancement of humanity and leave behind a positive mark on society that will continue to stand as a guidepost for their descendants.

SYMBIOSIS, UNITY, HARMONY The image of the snake eating its own tail, commonly referred to as ouroboros, appeared for centuries before the Illuminati's official formation. It is one of humanity's earliest representations of the universal balance found in the eternal circle, and is sometimes represented in the shape of the Infinity. While this image may seem to hold destructive connotations, an understanding of the ouroboros must be approached in the context of pre-medieval human belief. In the mythology of many early cultures, snakes were viewed as symbols of self-improvement. This is a reference to a snake's ability to shed its skin and emerge as the same creature in a newer and better form. In Illuminati rituals, the ouroboros stands for the circle of life: humanity's passing through generations that begin and end in a constantly renewing cycle. It shows the path of physical mortality - the inescapable truth that all life starts with nothing and ends in the same place that it began. All humans are born from the dust, and to dust they shall return.

SECRECY, TRUST, SELF-DETERMINATION The symbol of the Crossed Keys originates from the earliest days of the Illuminati's establishment, and thus our history has caused it to take on a variety of clandestine meanings - some of which remain secret to this day. In some pieces of Illuminated art, the meaning of the Crossed Keys can change based on the color of the metal that is used in its depiction. The Cross Keys emblem can be seen in an Illuminated circle of the illuminati's Eternal Oath. As a citizen rises through the levels of the Illuminati initiation, they are introduced to the evolving meanings that hide behind the images of the Crossed Keys. Some of the publicly available definitions include: LOYALTY TO THE OATHS A steel vault is locked with a key to protect its precious contents from outsiders who would destroy it. In this same way, ranking members of the Illuminati are bound by oaths that require absolute secrecy and discretion, in order to protect the goals of our organization from warmongers who would stifle the progress of humanity's approaching age of peace. The Crossed Keys stand as a reminder of a member's promise to guard the treasures of knowledge that have been entrusted to them. MARRIAGE BOND In later Illuminati symbolism, the Crossed Keys were occasionally used to represent a marriage. When both keys are identical, each person in a partnership has equal ownership of the shared home. It represents the importance of marriage union that is built on a foundation of mutual respect. KEYS TO HEAVEN AND EARTH Some medieval practices believe that Crossed Keys represent the authority of kings and pontiffs to command the Earth and the Heavens. But in Illuminati beliefs, the power of Earth and Heavens _ over this life and the unknown that follows _ rests in the hands of each individual human. Our beliefs dictate that a human's future is determined by their own choices and decisions. In this way, the Crossed Keys represent every human's hidden power over the direction of their lives and their ability to control their own destiny.

WISDOM, ALERTNESS, VIGILANCE Throughout medieval history, the image of the Owl was often associated with evil due to its tendency to be active during the dangerous hours of the night. Many early cultures saw the Owl as an omen of approaching bad fortune and believed that it was cursed as a creature of the dead. However, Illuminati tradition tells a different story. In Illuminati practices, the Owl is revered as a creature of vigilance - a guardian who stands alert so others can rets through the night under its watchful gaze. It is seen as a totem representing wisdom, its eye ever-watchful for the morning to approach and for the guiding Light to remerge over the horizon. In modern culture, the Owl appears in a variety of locations, especially in places of government and currency. Through magnification, the Owl can even be seen in the corner of every United States one-dollar bill, alongside the Pyramid and the All-Seeing Eye.

GLOBAL CHANGE, GENERATIONAL TRANSFER OF POWER Crowns have passed through thousands of kings and queens, each different from the previous. Like the pendulum of a clock, power swings from one side to the other in an endless passing of time. It creates balance between two opposing forces- each side relying on the other to maintain order. Neither side is entirely right or wrong, but neither side can relent. If the pendulum ceases to sway, the clock ceases to function. Time is a powerful revelator. This planet has overcome millennia of hardships and survived disasters more devastating than the wars recorded by history. Humanity has faced its worst leaders, its worst regimes, its worst obstacles and survived to become stronger. Though the portraits inside the palaces may change, and the names on the map may be altered, humanity's clock will continue uninterrupted.
