Merkaba
The vehicle of light and ascension
The Merkaba (also Merkabah) is a three-dimensional Star of David, two interlocking tetrahedra, one pointing up and one pointing down. In sacred geometry and Kabbalistic tradition, it represents the energy field of the human body and the vehicle of spiritual ascension.
Shop Merkaba PendantsWhat it Means
The word Merkaba comes from Hebrew: Mer (light), Ka (spirit), Ba (body). The upward-pointing tetrahedron represents the masculine, solar, active principle; the downward-pointing tetrahedron represents the feminine, lunar, receptive principle. Together they form a perfectly balanced energy field said to surround every human being. Activating the Merkaba through meditation is said to enable spiritual travel between dimensions.
History & Origins
The Merkabah appears in the Hebrew Bible in the vision of Ezekiel, a divine chariot of fire. Merkabah mysticism was a major strand of early Jewish mysticism (1st–10th centuries CE), focused on ascent through the heavenly realms. The geometric form was later developed in sacred geometry traditions and popularised by Drunvalo Melchizedek's Flower of Life teachings.
