Symbols

The main and only Druze symbol is the Druze star and flag, since they disprove of iconography.  The star and flag are made up of five colors: red(the soul), blue(mental power of the will), green(the mind), yellow(the word), and white(realization of the blue and is materialized).  Each color has a specific meaning that pertains to a metaphysical power known as Haad, which literally means limit.  Rituals pertaining to these ideas are symbolic themselves because they create an individualistic effect by allowing one to grow mentally.  Some of these rituals include not smoking tobacco or drinking alcohol.
