The Two Roads Symbol is the visual embodiment of the spiritual teachings woven throughout The Two Roads Trilogy. Its design bears similarities to both the ancient Coptic Cross of early Christianity and the Medicine Wheel traditions of the Lakota people, reflecting a timeless truth found across many spiritual paths: the unity of all life.
I first encountered this symbol in a series of profound spiritual experiences beginning in 2005. During these visions, Black Elk revealed a white cross within a circle, illuminated by a radiant red stone at its center. The symbol you see today is the physical manifestation of that original vision.
At the heart of the symbol lies The Red Stone of Power, a sacred image that plays a central role within The Two Roads Trilogy. In the story, the Red Stone of Power is given to Rose, the heroine of the trilogy, by a Golden Being later revealed to be the Eminence of the Father—the Original Soul that remains forever in the presence of God. Rose is told that the stone will reside within her heart and that, through four ascents into Heaven, its song will one day release a prophecy: Black Elk’s vision of peace, harmony, and the reunification of all creation within one sacred hoop.
The Meaning of the Symbol
Imagine a sacred circle marked by the four directions—North, East, South, and West. Two roads cross within this circle: one running North to South, the other East to West. Where these roads meet is the Holy Center—the Sacred Heart—the Red Stone of Power.
This center represents wholeness, balance, and union with the Divine. It is the place where we remember ourselves as part of the One. I often refer to this state as Christ Consciousness: the awareness of our true identity as children of God.
Within the symbolism of the Medicine Wheel:
- North represents Mind
- East represents Spirit.
- North and East belong to the divine masculine, or Father.
- South represents Emotion
- West represents Body.
- South and West belong to the divine masculine, or Mother.
At the center stands the Child—the Divine Creation born of Spirit and Matter, Father and Mother, Heaven and Earth. The Red Stone of Power symbolizes this sacred union and the divine essence that exists within every soul.
The Seven Directions
Beyond the four cardinal directions are three more:
- Above – Father Sky
- Below – Mother Earth
- Within – The Sacred Heart
The direction “Within” is the meeting place of Heaven and Earth, Spirit and Matter. It is here that Light and Love are received, transformed, and shared. It is here that the Red Stone of Power awakens.
Standing in the center of the wheel provides a complete perspective. From this place of balance, we recognize ourselves as whole beings—mind, spirit, emotion, and body working in harmony. We begin to see our true nature and our connection to all creation.
The Path of Ascension
As awareness deepens, the Sacred Heart becomes activated. The Red Stone of Power begins to draw us toward our Original Soul—what some traditions call the Monad or Higher Self. Through this awakening, we experience a growing attraction toward unity, truth, and divine remembrance.
The heart fills with Light. The Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine within us come into balance. The twin flames of Spirit are ignited, and consciousness expands beyond the limitations of the ego.
Many spiritual traditions describe this process as a form of death and rebirth—not the death of the body, but the surrender of the separate self. As the soul releases its attachment to separation, it awakens to the oneness of all life and moves ever closer to the presence of God.
This journey is known as Ascension: the return to wholeness, unity, and divine awareness.
A Living Reminder
For me, The Two Roads Symbol is far more than a piece of jewelry. It is a living reminder of the spiritual journey, a representation of the Sacred Heart, and a symbol of the union between Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies.
I wear it every day as a reminder of the path toward balance, love, and higher consciousness. It serves as an energetic template of awakened being—a symbol of the journey home to the heart, to the soul, and ultimately, to the One from which we all come.
A Time of Awakening
The year 2012 marked what many perceived as the beginning of a global awakening—a shift in consciousness toward greater unity, balance, and spiritual awareness. To me, it signified the emergence of a new world founded upon Oneness, where the Divine Masculine and Sacred Feminine energies are brought into harmony, creating the possibility of Heaven on Earth.
While we continue to live and express ourselves through the physical body, it is the ego—the illusion of separation—that begins to dissolve during this process of transformation. What follows is not an ending, but a rebirth into a higher state of awareness aligned with the Divine Mind.
Many people have experienced this awakening in their own way. I know that I have experienced it within my own consciousness, and I believe that all who walk this path are supported and held in Love as they journey toward a deeper remembrance of who they truly are.
My work now is dedicated to assisting others on their own path of awakening and ascension. As I continue to embody these teachings in everyday life, I strive not only to understand them intellectually, but to live them as an expression of the soul.
The Two Roads Symbol is always worn close to my heart. It serves as a constant reminder of this journey and represents an energetic template of awakened being. To me, it symbolizes the union of the Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine, the activation of the Sacred Heart, and the embodiment of Light through the human experience.
How Did The Two Roads Symbol Come To Be?
Whenever I reflect upon the origins of The Two Roads Symbol, I am filled with gratitude and joy.
Its story began long before I wrote The Two Roads. In 2005, during a profound spiritual experience, Black Elk asked me a simple yet powerful question:
“Where is the Red Stone of Power?”
I understood him to be referring to the Divine Heart—the Holy Centre within each of us, what some may call Christ Consciousness.
He then revealed a symbol: a radiant cross of white light enclosed within a circle. As I watched, he showed me people wearing this symbol over their hearts.
At the time, I wondered what this vision meant. Was he showing me a future in which many people would awaken to their divine nature? Or was he literally showing me people wearing the symbol itself? Over the years, I have come to believe that both interpretations are true.
One thing I have learned about spiritual guidance is that it often unfolds gradually. We are shown only what we need to know, when we need to know it.
As time passed, I began writing The Two Roads, much of which was inspired through my connection with Black Elk. Within that story, he introduced the Red Stone of Power. The experience behind it was not fictional—it had taken place in my own life some months earlier. However, its full significance belongs within the story itself, and I prefer not to reveal too much here for those who may wish to discover it through the books.

What I can say is that the symbol you see today grew from that original vision. It emerged over time, revealing its meaning step by step, until it became the physical expression of a spiritual truth that continues to guide my life and work.
So at that time I was totally unaware that Wim Roskam, a dutch artist, had been guided to produce a sculpture – a 3D symbol of cosmic oneness – a beautiful wall hanging which Wim aptly named ‘Faith’. This is Faith here in the picture below…
I didn’t even know Wim at that time! Faith was produced in 2005, around the same time Black Elk began to talk to me about The Red Stone of Power. When I eventually did meet Wim and his partner Marianne, Black Elk wasted no time in prompting me to tell them about the symbol he was showing to me. So I told about The Red Stone of Power and The Two Roads Symbol. Being me I chatted on and on for quite a bit ha ha ha and all the time Wim and Marianne were wearing big smiles on their faces, the reason for which was soon to be revealed to me. Wim set up his lap top and proceeded to show me the digital files showing Faith in great detail. And this was the product of Wim obediently following his spiritual guidance to start working on a sculpture…like all of Wim’s incredible works www.akaija.com ( the Akaija is a healing tool) it came out of the void pure with no questioning on whether he was doing it right or not. I truly admire that quality! Faith had been produced, and has hung in a friend’s home from then til now… Wim never understood why he had to produce it…only that it was right. And suddenly, it was clear…it was to lead the way for The Two Roads Symbol.
First the painting ‘Rose beyond the ice and the fire’ and now this…what else was going on? It was clear from the energy between us that some kind of a merging was taking place at least….the Akaija project and The Two Roads project? “Let us just feel it for now” I suggested to Wim and Marianne, “leave the details up to Spirit…They won’t let us miss them.” My friends agreed wholeheartedly…
So when they arrived home Wim got to work – The Two Roads Symbol came through effortlessly, made from solid gold…an ancient coin, which was gifted by Indian people of Columbia, was melted and re-formed. In the centre is a ruby to represent The Red Stone of Power. The symbol can be made of any metal of course…silver is particularly nice – we tried it…it looks lovely. it is also available in gold, and the gem in the centre can be garnet ruby, rose quartz, and even amethyst. It is a symbol of cosmic oneness, divine unity, the Sacred Heart… the rose frequency of the three fold flame of love power and wisdom.
Wearing the symbol is about increasing one’s faith in one’s divine blueprint, in one’s divine original and authentic self. It acts as a ground for one’s rose frequency emanating from the white fire core of the sacred heart. For this reason, it is used in the activation of the rose frequency emanations – Your Crystalline Heart To read more about this go to this page
THE SYMBOL COMES WITH THREE STONES – RUBY – GARNET – AND ROSE QUARTZ
AND NOW THERE IS A NEW PURPLE ROSE VERSION with a very soft amethyst in the centre
Below is a message from BLESSED BLACK ELK, He and I are initiates of the flame of faith, mercy and forgiveness.
Dear Hearts, the one heart of the divine god energy within each of you reaches out to encompass all experience with the rose light. Compassion and kindness nurture every last minute particle of the universe. There is not a knowing in your conscious mind of this intensity of love, but in your conscious heart, burning with the white fire of god energy, there is all knowing of love. And love is your home, dear hearts. Love is your beginning and your eternal life through holy death. Therefore, deep within the white fire in the core of your sacred heart, all energy shall be transformed through death. The blind will see, the lame will walk, and those of humble possessions shall gain the riches of heaven.
Know yourself through the rose light, and you will know one true mother and one true father in your red stone of power; thus, shall you be re-born as a student of mastery. Your long sleep is almost over. For some of you, the immortal life awaits. For others, you will be prepared through absolute service in one final incarnation.
Your Brother in Light, Black Elk
