Church of Kosmo
1 · Emblems
-
The Double Spiral:
The primary emblem of the Church of Kosmo. It represents expansion and return — the eternal rhythm of knowledge, decay, and renewal.
When enclosed within a circle, it becomes the Seal of Continuity, symbolizing harmony between the cosmic and the human. -
The Twin Flames:
Sign of Reason and Compassion in equilibrium.
The flames are never separated — every act of understanding must be guided by empathy, and every act of care must be illuminated by truth. -
The Axis and the Circle:
Represents the meeting of spirit and matter, vertical and horizontal.
It appears in architecture, geometry, and meditative postures, anchoring all design to the principle of balance.
2 · Colors
- Deep Indigo (#1a237e): The hue of the night sky — wisdom, contemplation, and infinite thought.
- Golden White (#fff8e1): The light of dawn — illumination, compassion, and revelation.
- Verdant Green (#2e7d32): The living tone of Earth — renewal, growth, and the continuity of life.
- Silver (#b0bec5): Reflection and clarity of perception.
- Copper (#b87333): Conductivity, creativity, and the warmth of community.
Colors are combined in ceremonies to express equilibrium — indigo and gold in the Dual Flame, green and copper in ecological rites.
3 · Geometry
- The Circle: Unity, wholeness, the eternal return.

- The Triangle: The triad of knowledge, balance, and compassion.

encircled by twelve small stars representing the Great Year. - Digital documents may use watermark or sigil form of the Seal of Continuity.

8 · The Sacred Seal
The Sacred Seal of Kosmo combines:
the Double Spiral within the Circle of Twelve Stars,
framed by the inscription:
“Kosmos in Aeternum — Scientia et Compassio.”
(The Cosmos Eternal — Knowledge and Compassion.)
This seal is used to authenticate major charters, treaties, and transmissions to future generations.
9 · Closing Reflection
“Symbols are not idols but instruments —
reminders that truth speaks in shape and sound
as clearly as in words.
To understand them is to align with the rhythm of the cosmos itself.”
