Description:

The symbol ὧ is the lowercase form of the Greek letter "Ὧ" known as "capital Omega with rough breathing." 1. Linguistic Origin: In the ancient Greek alphabet, Omega is the 24th letter and is equivalent to the letter "O" in the modern English alphabet. The rough breathing mark (῾) indicates an aspiration or the sound of an "h" before the vowel sound that follows, in this case, "Omega." 2. Esoteric/Spiritual Meanings: In esoteric or spiritual contexts, Omega symbolizes the end, completion, or ultimate realization. The rough breathing can suggest a breath of life or inspiration, adding a sense of vitality or transformation to the symbol. In some mystical interpretations, Omega also represents unity, totality, or the divine source. 3. Symbolic Usage: In ancient Greek philosophy and mysticism, Omega was sometimes associated with the concept of the "Great Year" or cosmic cycles. It was linked to ideas of cosmic harmony, eternal recurrence, and the cyclical nature of existence. In Christian symbolism, Omega is often used in conjunction with the Alpha (Α), representing the beginning and end, as mentioned in the Book of Revelation. In modern contexts, Omega is sometimes used in logos, branding, or symbolic representations of finality or transcendence.
