Lamp
Life, the LIGHT
of divinity, wisdom, intellect, and good works are all manifestations of the symbolic
nature of the lamp. Lamps can also be a gateway to another plane, as in the story
of Aladdin and the genie. Brings protection against dark demons, and can be the
illumination of the spirit. Purity and virginity also relate, as well as beauty
and love. It is one a pinnacle symbol of self-sacrifice, as it consumes itself
to offer light to the world. Has relations with Judaism, as Hanukah is the festival
of lights.
