As one member wrote, all tribes have different meanings but maybe I can give you a few pointers. I am Navajo, my husband is Chirachua Apache. The medicine wheel is red, yellow, white, and black. White is North or the path of wisdom, red is south and is the spirit, the earth. Yellow is east and represents the sun. Black is south and represents night or a look within yourself. Eagle feathers are used to send your prayers to the Creator. I don't know anything about cuts in the feathers.

The first sounds like arabic have no clue about meaning but I was recently in an arabic speaking country and it sounds a lot like the pattern of this language.\n\nFi amanuallah is arabic and means 'may God protect you' other similar phrases are 'khud hafiz, allah hafiz, or the classic assalamu alaykum' It is a religious greeting and blessing.\n\nSigbo and lonizt are names because I can't find a translation for them other than being names perhaps of German origin. \n\nI tried my best and I know four languages...\n\nI would conclude that from this message the person is giving you good wishes and a blessing in your life. It is a thoughtful and very loving thing to say...

Depends on how far down the rabbit hole you are willing to go?\n\nYes, on the surface the symbology is the reverse side of the Great Seal of the United States as passed by Congress in 1782. The symbol of the all seeing eye, the illumination and symbol of many secret societies dating back to the Egyptians.\n\nThen there is what it meant to the Egyptians- a symbol of power- the eye of Amen-Ra (Amen, the God you unknowingly call several times in Christian ceremonies...)\n\nDo you really want to dig any deeper? Let's stop there for the moment.

apparently this picture looks a lot like the eye of Osiris, Ra and Horus but just badly drawn. I put a picture of what the eye looks like. notice the similarities. So the meaning of the eye is to represent the whole universe, similar to the Yin-Yang symbol. The right reflects the Solar, Masculine energy, as well as reason and mathematic. The left reflects fluid, femenine, lunar energy and rules of intuition and magic. Toguether they represent the combined transcendent power of Horus. They believed the eye had a healing and protective power so it was used as an amulet. From this symbol is where we now have the Rx pharmaceutical symbol.\nEnjoy. Hope i Helped.

I wouldn't worry about it, plenty of Pagan, neo-pagan, and Wiccans I know wear crosses.  Crosses have been used by tons of non-Christian peoples, gods, goddesses, and sects over time (Assyrians, Celts, Yorumbas, etc); the cross is not inherantly a Christian thing.  The Christians just co-oped the symbol from the pagans around them and made it popular.  My ex-roommate used to wear the cross his grandmother gave him for his Roman Catholic confirmation to circle all the time.  It's not a big deal.\n\nWhen someone asks you about your cross, tell them that you are not Christian and that neither is wearing a cross necklace.  Tell them that plenty of other cultures wore cross jewelry.

You go girl!!!!\n\nThere is a passage in the prayer service at my temple that is repeated every Friday night.  Basically, it says, "that which is hateful to you, do not do to others.  This is the whole Torah - the rest is commentary."  I'm paraphrasing but that is what it says.  Lead a good life and everything else will be alright.  If other people don't like it - to heck with 'em.\n\nA

It is a symbol of authority and power.  You have to trace it's evolution and destruction from the novel.  That entails... doing your own homework.\n\nGood Luck!\n\nSue

For the same reason Pagans wear a pentagram Jews wear a Star of David ...\n\nIt's a reminder of their faith.  I wore a crucifix (a cross with a man on it) for years before LaCroix (famous French fashion designer) took his name and made the cross a "must have dahlink" for the fashion conscious.  Not only Christians wear crosses nowadays.

It is actually 2 Hebrew words:  "Hosha Na".  It means "Please save us."  (It also appears in Psalm 118 as "Ho-shee-a Na".)
