The spiritual meaning of dragonflies is the light of God. It also means looking within and dancing – just like a dragonfly.
To a warrior and fighter, a dragonfly tattoo represents agility, power, speed, victory, and courage. It also symbolizes rebirth, immortality, transformation, adaptation, and spiritual awakening.
There are some interesting designs and geometric patterns found within the wing of the dragonfly. Not only can you find the Golden Angle 137.5 in the wings of the dragonfly, you can also find the golden angle in the Sunflower.
Watching these videos will teach a lot in a short amount of time about numerology, the Fibonacci sequence and other interesting numerology.

While the quality of this print is not the best, I found some interesting things about it. It appears to show 25 leaves about the scale on each side and 17 below. Those were two numbers I looked at in the past when I realized that on the back of the dollar under the Eagle is the 17 letter phrase "of the United States". The seal of the Eagle resembles the back of a quarter (25 cents). I noted that 17 + 25 = 42.
When you balance 17 and 25 (adjusting up or down by four), you arrive at 21. In Gematria Hebrew, that can reference "I am".
The total number of leaves in the picture appears to be 84, referencing the Gematria Hebrew value of "I AM THAT I AM".
The G in the middle (the 7th letter) is within a six pointed star. If each point represents 7, then you would have six sevens or 42. If each point of a triangle is 7, you would have three sevens or 21.
The up and down triangles could represent the elements of fire and water mixed, or air and earth - a representation of the hermetic principle of "as above, so below". ie. heaven and earth.
The Right Key?
How can we be sure that Agrippa’s key is the right key? Once again our Masonic writers confirm it for us. “William Stirling” drops a hint like a ripe plum on page 153 of The Canon when he likens the Greek Orpheus to Jesus Christ:
” . . . the name ΟΡΦΕΥΣ has the value of 1275 . . . in the earliest efforts of Christian Art, it is not uncommon to find Christos depicted playing upon a lyre in the fashion of Orpheus. No reason is known for this singular impersonation, but the number 1275, deduced from the name Orpheus, suggests the reason why the two gods had a similar identity.”
The number 1275 in no way suggests any reason why Christos should have a similar identity to Orpheus – at least not until we count the name ‘Jesus Christ’ by Agrippa’s code. If we do, we find the letter values of his name sum as: 600 + 5 + 90 + 200 + 90 + 3 + 8 + 80 + 9 + 90 + 100 = 1275. It is quite clear that “Stirling” is alluding to Agrippa’s code, and it is equally clear from the veiled nature of his reference that it must constitute an initiation secret of high degree Freemasonry.
Now we have the key, we can turn it – and begin to unlock the thesaurus of King Solomon’s Temple.
Orphéfs - (Orpheus; Gr. Ὀρφεύς, ΟΡΦΕΥΣ) – his common name.There is a strange story concerning the name of Orphéfs: "The ancients represent Orpheus as living during the time, and sharing in the Argonautic expedition. If we search for the origin of this fable, we must again have recourse to Egypt, the mother-country of fiction. In July, when the sun entered Leo, the Nile overflowed all the plains. To denote the public joy at seeing the inundation rise to its due height, the Egyptians exhibited a youth playing on the lyre, or the sistrum, and sitting by a tame lion. When the waters did not increase as they should, the Horus was represented stretched on the back of a lion, as dead. This symbol they called Oreph, or Orpheus, (from oreph, the back part of the head) to signify that agriculture was then quite unseasonable and dormant. The songs the people amused themselves with during this period of inactivity, for want of exercise, were called the Hymns of Orpheus ; and as husbandry revived immediately after, it gave rise to the fable of Orpheus's returning from hell. The Isis placed near this Horus, they called Eurydice, (from eri, a lion, and daca, tamed, is formed Eridaca, Eurydice, or the lion tamed, i.e. the violence or rage of the inundation overcome), and as the Greeks took all these figures in the literal, not in the emblematical sense, they made Eurydice the wife of Orpheus."

I knew I had seen the number 117 on several occasions. I remembered it because I was trying to find the connection between the Hebrew letter QOF that has a value of 100 with the letter Q, the 17th letter of the English alphabet.
In this case, 117 is obtained by adding 52 and 65 in the left and right columns. Those are the sums of all 12 numbers in each column. The numbers in each column are obtained by starting with the Fibonacci sequence in the upper left and moving downward. When a double digit number is reached, you reduce to a single digit by adding each number in the double digit together. This produces a series of 24 numbers that repeats infinitely.
Om or About this sound aum (help·info) (written universally as ॐ; in Devanagari as ओं oṃ [õː], औं auṃ [ə̃ũ], or ओम् om [õːm]) is a mystical Sanskrit sound of Hindu origin, sacred and important in various Dharmic religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. The syllable is also referred to as omkara (ओंकार oṃkāra) or aumkara (औंकार auṃkāra), literally "om syllable", and in Sanskrit it is sometimes referred to as प्रणव (praṇava), literally "that which is sounded out loudly".
Om is also written ओ३म् (ō̄m [õːːm]), where ३ is प्लुत (pluta, "three times as long"), indicating a length of three morae (that is, the time it takes to say three syllables)—an overlong nasalized close-mid back rounded vowel—though there are other enunciations adhered to in received traditions.
(This is the symbol found in the Crown Chakra).
The syllable "om" is first described as all-encompassing mystical entity in the Upanishads. Today, in all Hindu art and all over India and Nepal, 'om' can be seen virtually everywhere, a common sign for Hinduism and its philosophy and theology. Hindus believe that as creation began, the divine, all-encompassing consciousness took the form of the first and original vibration manifesting as sound "OM".[3] Before creation began it was "Shunyākāsha", the emptiness or the void. Shunyākāsha, meaning literally "no sky", is more than nothingness, because everything then existed in a latent state of potentiality. The vibration of "OM" symbolizes the manifestation of God in form ("sāguna brahman"). "OM" is the reflection of the absolute reality, it is said to be "Adi Anadi", without beginning or the end and embracing all that exists.[3] The mantra "OM" is the name of God, the vibration of the Supreme. When taken letter by letter, A-U-M represents the divine energy (Shakti) united in its three elementary aspects: Bhrahma Shakti (creation), Vishnu Shakti (preservation) and Shiva Shakti (liberation, and/or destruction).[3]
The syllable is mentioned in all the Upanishads, specially elaborated upon in the Taittiriya, Chāndogya and Māndukya Upanishad set forth as the object of profound religious meditation, the highest spiritual efficacy being attributed not only to the whole word but also to the three sounds a (a-kāra), u (u-kāra), m (ma-kāra), of which it consists. A-kara means form or shape like earth, trees, or any other object. U-kāra means formless or shapeless like water, air or fire. Ma-kāra means neither shape nor shapeless (but still exists) like the dark energy content of the Universe. When we combine all three syllables we get AUM which is a combination of A-kāra, U-kāra, and Ma-kāra.[4]
In Advaita philosophy it is frequently used to represent three subsumed into one, a triune, a common theme in Hinduism. It implies that our current existence is mithyā and maya, "falsehood", that in order to know the full truth we must comprehend beyond the body and intellect the true nature of infinity. Essentially, upon moksha (mukti, samādhi) one is able not only to see or know existence for what it is, but to become it. When one gains true knowledge, there is no split between knower and known: one becomes knowledge/consciousness itself. In essence, Om is the signifier of the ultimate truth that all is one.

I can't help but notice that the letter Y appears to represent a vine or branch. "Di-vine" Di as a prefix literally means in Greek "Two", "Twice" or "Double". While the image above shows the Fibonacci sequence, the 124875 series of numbers literally comes from doubling numbers starting at one. (7 comes from 16 (1+6) and 5 comes from 32 (3+2)).
Phyllotaxis, the regular arrangement of leaves or flowers around a plant stem, is an example of developmental pattern formation and organogenesis. Phyllotaxis is characterized by the divergence angles between the organs, the most common angle being 137.5°, the golden angle.
