Symbols - What does heaven look like
Ash [fire]
A complex symbol spiritually as it takes on the symbolism of Grey, Fire and Dust.
It is used for people on the spiritual path. Having been symbolically through Fire one has emerged Balanced [the combination of Black and White] and has been reduced symbolically to Dust.
In effect one has completed the spiritual path and been annihilated - achieved Annihilation.
