fish symbol synchronicity
To grasp the full power of a symbol, we need to go back to the root meaning of the word. “Symbol” is derived from the Greek σύμβολον (sýmbolon) which combines συν- (syn-) meaning “together” and βολή (bolē) a “throw” or a “cast” A symbol is that which is “thrown together” or “cast together”. This is very close to the root meaning of “coincidence”. In Latin, to coincide is to “fall together”. So it’s not surprising that when symbols are in play, coincidence multiplies.
