The Lion & The Feather
The symbolic foundation of SELASSIE SON.
The Lion and the Feather are tools for understanding balance between courage and truth. They are meant to be worked with.
The Lion.
The Lion represents courage guided by restraint.
It carries authority as responsibility. Strength that answers to something beyond itself.
The Feather.
The Feather represents truth guided by conscience.
It is the feather of Ma'at, the measure of truth, balance, and order against which conduct is weighed.
Balance.
Balance is an active discipline, renewed with each choice.
Courage without truth becomes force. Truth without courage becomes avoidance.
The work is to recognize imbalance before action, and responsibility before reaction.
Practice with the symbol.
Read slowly. Return often.
Pair the symbol with reflection or stillness, and allow it to inform daily choices.
