Symbol meaning

Bells have been an integral part of many religions throughout history. They symbolize the voice of the Supreme Being in Christianity, Islam, and Buddhism, as their ringing calls people to prayer and to obey divine laws. The convex shape of the bell has been said to resemble the canopy of heaven, and the swinging of the bell from side to side has been seen to symbolize the passage of time and the extremes of life - good and evil, death and life, darkness and light, beginning and end. In different cultures, the bell symbolizes slightly different things. In the Indian tradition, the bell symbolizes hearing, but above all, the eternal vibration that has taken the form of sound. In the Islamic world, the ringing of the bell is considered sacred and is considered to represent the sound of the revelation of the Quran, or the manifestation of the power of God in the mortal world. In the Chinese tradition, the sound of the bell is considered the sound of universal harmony. On a more general, everyday level, bells are also considered a symbol of hope, peace (though also war), purity, and innocence.

Ritual use

Bells are an integral part of various spiritual practices, such as meditation, prayer and rituals. Their ringing is believed to help focus, deepen the connection with divine energy and invite spiritual growth. In many different cultures, the sound of bells is believed to drive away negative energies, evil spirits and protect against harm. They can be hung on doors, windows or worn as amulets around the neck to create a sense of security. Bells are also used to cleanse the energies of physical spaces, as their sound vibrations help dispel negativity and promote a positive atmosphere. In traditional Wicca, bells also play a very central role. They are used to cleanse and/or charge crystals, herbs and other objects used in rituals. On an altar, the bell is usually located on the left side of the altar, where other elements representing the goddess are also located. Semiphoras recommends using bells as a sign to begin personal altar work.
