INDO-TIBETAN "ENERGY WINDS"FOR THE 4 ELEMENTS Kosmology
INDO-TIBETAN "ENERGY WINDS" FOR THE 4 ELEMENTS Kosmology Hex
TOP (OR NORTH) - YAM (AIR) GREEN
RIGHT (OR EAST) - VAM (WATER) BLUE
BOTTOM (SOUTH) - LAM (EARTH) YELLOW
LEFT (OR WEST) - RAM (FIRE) RED
MAIN DIFFERENCE OF THE OLDER INDIA DERIVED SYSTEMS FROM WESTERN MAGICAL ONES IS THE REVERSAL OF THE AIR-EARTH ELEMENTS, WHERE EARTH IS GREEN (OR BLACK) AND AIR IS YELLOW: EARTH IS GENERALLY NORTH, BUT THE OTHERS MAY MOVE AROUND MORE.
I GAVE YOU "COMPASS" CARDINAL POINTS ABOVE, WHICH ARE THE MOST EASILY AND GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD; BUT IF YOU'RE A "PURIST" I SHOULD MENTION THAT TIBETAN MANDALAS ALWAYS PLACE EAST AT THE BOTTOM, SOUTH AT THE LEFT, WEST AT THE TOP, AND NORTH ON THE RIGHT SIDE.
COLOR SYMBOLISM-WISE FOR A HEX: THE WHITE "A" IS THE "CLEAR LIGHT" THAT EMANATES THE "RADIANT BLACKNESS" (YOUR BACKGROUND), WHICH SPAWNS THE "FOUR ENERGY-WINDS" IN VIBRANT COLORS -- A SEQUENCE WE ALL EXPERIENCE IN REVERSE AT DEATH.
