Crown In
the Qabbalah,
the first or
highest Sephirah, Kether (Crown). In
the stanzas of Dzyan, "Fohat
traces spiral lines to
unite the sixth to
the seventh --
the Crown" (SD 1:31),
which means that fohat, in
this case working as
eros or
divine love,
strives to
blend atman with buddhi,
and the same on
the corresponding cosmic planes.
crown also signifies the summit of
attainment in initiation,
spiritual sovereignty, or
dignity or splendor,
and is
much used in
those senses in
both the old and new Testaments,
and was typically so
employed in
pagan initiatory rites.
the kings and pontiffs of
modern times are the feeble imitators of
former king-initiates,
whose insignia comprised the crown,
representative of
the glory or
buddhic splendor,
which actually encircled the head of
the initiate as a nimbus, as it
does in
the case of
the yogi in
samadhi and of
the buddha.
the ceremony of
coronation was performed in
the mysteries as
the outward symbol of
the completion of
this attainment;
and that ceremony is
still perpetuated.
the later roman emperors adopted the eastern royal fillet,
which they called by
the greek name diadema;
the papal tiara goes back through it to
the persian royal headdress of
that name.
the american indian wears feathers imitating the rays of
light from the head.
this ornament,
which is
both ancient and universal,
probably originated from the fillets used to
prevent the hair from being dishevelled by
the wind.
such fillets are still common;
they gradually developed into turbans,
which by
the addition of
ornamental or
precious materials assumed the dignity of
mitres or crowns.
both the ordinary priests and the high priest wore them.
the crown was a
symbol of royalty,
and was worn by kings, (2
chronicles 23:11)
and also by queens. (Esther 2:17)
the head-dress of bridegrooms, (Ezekiel 24:17;
isaiah 61:10) Bar. 5:2,
and of women, (Isaiah 3:20) a head-dress of
great splendor, (Isaiah 28:5) a
wreath of flowers, (Proverbs 1:9; 4:9)
denote crowns. In
general we
must attach to it
the notion of a
costly turban irradiated with pearls and gems of
priceless value,
which often form aigrettes for feathers, as in
the crowns of
modern asiatics sovereigns.
such was probably the crown which weighed (or
rather "was worth") a talent,
mentioned in (2
samuel 12:30)
taken by
david from the king of
ammon at Rabbah,
and used as
the state crown of Judah. (2
samuel 12:30) In (Revelation 12:3; 19:12)
allusion is
made to "many crowns"
worn in
token of
extended dominion.
the laurel,
pine or
parsley crowns given to
victors int he
great games of
greece are finely alluded to by St. Paul. (1
corinthians 9:25; 2
timothy 2:5) etc. Â Â

(1.)
denotes the plate of
gold in
the front of
the high priest's
mitre (Ex. 29:6; 39:30).
the same hebrew word so
rendered (ne'zer)
denotes the diadem worn by
saul in
battle (2 Sam. 1:10),
and also that which was used at
the coronation of Joash (2
kings 11:12). (2.)
the more general name in
hebrew for a
crown is 'atarah,
meaning a "circlet."
this is
used of
crowns and head ornaments of
divers kinds,
including royal crowns.
such was the crown taken from the king of
ammon by
david (2 Sam. 12:30).
the crown worn by
the assyrian kings was a
high mitre,
sometimes adorned with flowers.
there are sculptures also representing the crowns worn by
the early egyptian and persian kings.
sometimes a
diadem surrounded the royal head-dress of
two or
three fillets.
this probably signified that the wearer had dominion over two or
three countries. In Rev. 12:3; 13:1, we
read of "many crowns," a
token of
extended dominion. (3.)
the ancient persian crown (Esther 1:11; 2:17; 6:8)
was called kether; i.e., "a chaplet," a
high cap or tiara.
crowns were worn sometimes to
represent honour and power (Ezek. 23:42).
they were worn at
marriages (Cant. 3:11; Isa. 61:10, "ornaments;" R.V., "a garland"),
and at
feasts and public festivals.
the crown was among the romans and greeks a
symbol of
victory and reward.
the crown or
wreath worn by
the victors in
the olympic games was made of
leaves of
the wild olive; in
the pythian games, of laurel; in
the nemean games, of parsley;
and in
the isthmian games, of
the pine.
the romans bestowed the "civic crown" on
him who saved the life of a citizen. It
was made of
the leaves of
the oak. In
opposition to
all these fading crowns the apostles speak of
the incorruptible crown,
the crown of
life (James 1:12; Rev. 2:10) "that fadeth
not away" (1 Pet. 5:4, Gr. amarantinos; comp. 1:4).
probably the word "amaranth"
was applied to
flowers we
call "everlasting,"
the "immortal amaranth."
our lord was crowned with a, in
mockery by
the romans (Matt. 27:29).
the object of Pilate's
guard in
doing this was probably to insult,
and not specially to
inflict pain.
there is
nothing to
show that the shrub thus used was, as
has been supposed,
the spina Christi,
which could have been easily woven into a wreath. It
was probably the thorny nabk,
which grew abundantly round about Jerusalem,
and whose flexible, pliant,
and round branches could easily be
platted into the form of a crown. (See
thorn ¯T0003642, 3.)

the diadem or

the crown came to be
imbued with a
great deal of
symbolic power,
though the object itself was apparently worn seldom,
mostly in court or
for state occasions.
various monarchs during the high middle ages were from time to
time forced to
pawn their crowns to
raise money,
some of
which were never recovered.
edward III's
crown suffered such a
fate as he
was forced to
borrow extensively to
support his campaigns in France.
the term can also be
used to
refer to
the person of
the king,

their power-'the crown'.
