In ancient times, the Caduceus was the staff of knowledge, attributed to the god Hermes (for the Greeks) or Mercury (for the Romans), not to be confused with the Rod of Asclepius, the symbol of medicine. In fact, today, precisely because of this confusion, the caduceus appears several times associated with the medical profession.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the latter, the staff of the Greek god was characterized by the presence of two entwined snakes and was a symbol of peace and prosperity as well as balance. The god Hermes was also the messenger of the gods, therefore the mediator between mortals and the divine world. For this reason, his staff was also the representation of good and evil, which were constantly kept in balance by the god.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe symbolism of the Caduceus\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/0849\/9797\/files\/Caduceo_immagine.jpg?v=1789164329\" alt=\"Caduceus\" width=\"180\" height=\"269\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe wings placed at the top of the staff symbolize wisdom and intelligence, therefore the supremacy of these qualities over matter. According to Eastern philosophy, the Caduceus is the material representation of the concept of the subtle body, our true essence. The two snakes represent solar and lunar energies and produce a vortex of forces capable of leading to personal transformation through the development of an enlightened consciousness. Symbolically, it can have different interpretations depending on the field of reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBased on astronomy, it represents the ecliptic of the Sun and the Moon, which meet at a certain point. From a spiritual point of view, it represents the evolution of matter until its evolution, transcendence. From a physical point of view, it indicates the energy currents that condition the human body and the ability to rebalance them to bring well-being back to a sick body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe staff of Hermes and the cosmos\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConsidering the entire cosmos, the Caduceus represents the ability to master chaos, restoring harmony and balance. The iconographic representation of this symbol has interested numerous ancient civilizations, such as the Mesopotamian, Indian, Egyptian, Babylonian, and Roman. The presence of snakes, on the other hand, is due to the perception of the power and intelligence of this animal, which has fascinated man since the beginning of time. Another no less relevant aspect is the ability of this animal to shed its skin, a symbol of rebirth in a new body, a new life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*** On the back you can choose to engrave a dedication, your name, or your date of birth.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving color will be shiny silver on a steel background (tone-on-tone engraving)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdjustable black waxed cotton cord with a sliding knot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShape:\u003cstrong\u003e Round\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eDimensions:\u003cstrong\u003e 2.50 - 3.00 - 3.50 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaterial: \u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tempo del Sogno","offers":[{"title":"2.5 cm \/ Front (1 side) \/ Cotton","offer_id":54839711990101,"sku":null,"price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 cm \/ Front (1 side) \/ Cotton","offer_id":54839712022869,"sku":null,"price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 cm \/ Front and back (2 sides) \/ Cotton","offer_id":54839712055637,"sku":null,"price":15.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 cm \/ Front and back (2 sides) \/ Cotton","offer_id":54839712088405,"sku":null,"price":15.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 cm \/ Front and back (2 sides) \/ Cotton","offer_id":54839712121173,"sku":null,"price":15.28,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 cm \/ Front (1 side) \/ Steel","offer_id":54839712153941,"sku":null,"price":15.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 cm \/ Front (1 side) \/ Steel","offer_id":54839712186709,"sku":null,"price":15.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 cm \/ Front (1 side) \/ Steel","offer_id":54839712219477,"sku":null,"price":15.61,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2.5 cm \/ Front and back (2 sides) \/ Steel","offer_id":54839712252245,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 cm \/ Front and back (2 sides) \/ Steel","offer_id":54839712285013,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3.5 cm \/ Front and back (2 sides) \/ Steel","offer_id":54839712317781,"sku":null,"price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 cm \/ Front (1 side) \/ Cotton","offer_id":54839712350549,"sku":null,"price":9.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1071\/0849\/9797\/files\/caduceo-ciondolo-in-acciaio.jpg?v=1788457154","url":"https:\/\/tempodelsogno.it\/en\/products\/caduceo-ciondolo-in-acciaio","provider":"Tempo del Sogno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
