Clothes make the man
About the power of embroidered symbols on clothing
The well-known author and expert in astrological
geomancy, Harald Jordan, writes in
his book “Clothes – Protection and Strength”
“Everything in human life is con-
nected whit one another and also
a spiritual cultural history is visible
in the basic patterns of clothes”
Just like interior design is similar to the
design of our third skin, our innermost self
becomes visible in the type and style of our
clothing.
Clothes are therefore a means and expression
of our individuation process. Thus the
choice of fabric, colour, shape, cut and ornamentation!
deserves to be made with special
care.
In accordance with the physical laws of
vibration a faster vibration gives rise to a
slower one and the rougher frequency is
improved by a higher vibrating one. Every
person transmits a personal frequency that
has its influence through its development
and the way in which the person organises
his life. However, he always responds to his
environment to which he reacts with changes
in his vibration, but on which he has a changing
influence in return.
With this in mind, the strengthening effect
that individually designed and crafted
clothing has on its wearer and also on the
people who observe him becomes clear.
Seen in this way the sentence „Clothes
make the man“ has a double meaning. Individually
designed, carefully crafted and
style-consciously worn clothing envelops the
wearer in a certain dignity that on the other
hand is perceived by the environment that
reacts to it and lends the wearer a certain
aura.
So much the more important is therefore
the choice that is made for a certain type of
clothing! It is a message that is transmitted
and received at many conscious and unconscious
levels. Taking these determined facts
into consideration one can imagine what
effect many a destructive symbol on a T-shirt
can have not only on its wearer, but on the
atmosphere in his environment.

In complete contrast to this is the moving
power of the hand-embroidered symbol on
an also handmade robe.
The knowledge about the fine effect of
clothing has been widespread for a very long
time. The effect has been consciously put to
use by the rulers of the world as a demonstration
of their position and power as well
as of their own inspiration. In this way they
were able to demonstrate their influence by
having endlessly precious fabrics processed.
Apart from basic materials made of velvet
and silk, the clothes were embroidered in
sophisticated techniques with gold and silver
threads, with pearls and wonderful precious
stones that in turn contrib-uted their very
specific radiance towards underlining the
personality of the wearer.
