[ANSTHRLD] Radei Drchevich appeal

[radei at moscowmail.com]

The field in argent and gules: Symbolizes the 2 great Russias  the White Russia and the Red Russia.  

the white of belo-rus, purity of heart and spirit, the beauty of the great winter, and the nadir of the great cycle of rebirth.
The Red, the passion of the Russian soul, the blood shed for the greater good of all the Russias, and the zenith of life.

The Lozenge Sable:  Symbolizes Humility.

Reminding me that I must always aviod the dark side, and move towards the light, in both spirit and deed.

The Mullet: symbolizes the light, the goal of a chivalric life.

the four points : Symbolize truth, honor, justice, piety.  The major aspects of a life well lived.

every level of this has been thought out, it took me a year to find this symbolism.  Something simple yet profound.
This is just an abreviated expression of the symbols.  I see much more, but is too much to express here.

hope this helps. as you can see, each element works with the whole, but would not stand alone.

This we know: All things are connected.
Like the blood which unites one family,
All things are connected.
Whatever befalls the earth,
Befalls the sons of the earth.
Man did not weave the fabric of life,
He is merely a strand on it.

- Chief Seattle
