Omphalos

The Navel of the World

A sacred stone artifact denoting the center of the earth, a focal point of divine communication.


The Omphalos (Greek for 'navel') was an ancient religious stone artifact, most famously located at Delphi, marking the center of the world where Apollo communicated divine prophecies. Legend says Zeus sent two eagles across the world to meet at its center, determining this sacred spot. Carved with a distinctive woven net pattern (the agrenon), the Omphalos represents the central axis of reality where the physical and spiritual realms intersect, serving as an anchor point for divine revelation and cosmic order.
