BEGINNER RED TO INTERMEDIATE RED
The Red Belt symbolizes the color of the sun. In almost all primitive religions the worship of the Sun was always placed in the foreground. The Sun was and is “farther” than the sky, and, more importantly, it is the life-giving force which makes everything grow, gives warmth without which everything would wither away and eventually die. Red can be found on many flags of different nations. Red is also the color of blood, the life substance of the living body.
