Divine Wisdom

Detail from Wisdom and Strength by Paolo Veronese (1528-1588)

Divine wisdom is accessible through the Sahasrara Chakra at the crown of the head.

The Renaissance painter Paolo Veronese has depicted Divine Wisdom as a goddess with an illumined sahasrara.

She appears in the Bible, in the book of Proverbs 8:22-31, where She is described as taking part in the Creation, being present with God before it took place. She is therefore not a created being, but an aspect of God.

The White Celestial Rose
Dante, Paradiso

The colour white is associated with the Sahasrara Chakra (Crown centre) as white contains all the colours of the seven chakras.
The deities take their seats in the Sahasrara at the crown of the head. William Blake shows the Divine Mother in the centre of the Rose.

The Ushnisha, or topknot, in buddhist iconography is a symbol of the Sahasrara.

Kundalini - Dragon

Unlike in European culture, In the East the Dragon is considered entirely auspicious and celestial. It is a symbol of the Kundalini, and is often shown chasing a pearl (Sahasrara, the prize of Self-realisation).
