The Druze Symbol

The Druze religious symbol is a five-colored star consisting of Green, Red, Yellow, Blue and white respectively. These colors represent the five wise prophets of Al-Mowahideen.

1) Green (Al-Akl) symbolizes "the mind," Christ's Consciousness, the pristine mirror of truth, Plato's sun whose light makes knowledge of the truth possible.

2) Red (Al-Nafs) symbolizes "the soul," the moon (the gentle reflector of the sun) the reciever of the light, and the shaheed of the truth in every age.

3) Yellow (Al-Kalima) symbolizes "the word", who's the mediator between Plato's realm of eternity and Aristotle's realm of material existence. "The word," after all is the purest form of expression and the softest embodiment of the truth.

4) Blue (Al-Sabik) symbolizes the potential, the mental power of the will to be-come.

5) White (Al-Tali) Symbolizes the actualization of the potential, the be-coming of the blue power, the full materialization of Plato's world of forms in the world of matter.
