Crystal Obelisks and Towers

An obelisk is a tapering four-sided shaft of stone, having a pyramidal apex representing a captured solar ray or a cosmic mountain. The pointed pillar of the obelisk symbolizes the journey of the spirit from the vibrations of the material “earthly” world to the subtle energies of the etheric field. It has been said that “the pillars of the obelisk support the heavens, humankind’s highest aspiration.”  

The vertical structure and shape of the tower is suggestive of the hierarchies between higher and lower, power and powerlessness. Are you feeling out of touch living in self absorbed isolation? Are you living in an ivory tower secluded from others? Is the tower your strength and protective fortress? Or is the tower creating emotional distance and a sense of discrimination with others? The tower gives one the courage to be open to different vistas with a far-seeing point-of-view; perhaps one of patience and endurance in solitude, which sometimes feels like imprisonment, a reminder that we are all just “doing time.” The tower supports the movement inward with introspective and creative musings allowing for reflection and study while patiently waiting for new visions. Obelisks and towers are instruments of Divine Timing – marking sacred space and time.
