Kako (K) is a sacred symbol and letter of the ancient Slavic alphabet, embodying the concept of Volume, Coverage, and Unity. Its numerical value is 20.
Deep Images
- Volume: The symbol signifies not just the question “how?”, but a holistic, volumetric perception of the world.
- Trinity: Graphically, the letter (a vertical line and two lines converging towards it) symbolizes the merging of three components at one point:
- Past, Present, and Future.
- Spirit (Heavenly), Body (Earthly), and Soul (Connecting).
- Law of Similarity: The symbol affirms the principle of hermeticism: “As above, so below”. Man (microcosm) is akin to the Universe (macrocosm).
This symbol stands first in the word Kon (K-Onъ), indicating that Kon is the aspiration for a volumetric, divine union with the Creator (“Onъ”).
From Plane to Volume
Modern thinking is flat (clip-based, “yes/no”, “good/bad”). The letter Kako teaches us volumetric perception. Any event should be viewed not as a line, but as a sphere:
- How does this affect me? (Body)
- How does this affect my Lineage? (Past/Future)
- What is the Higher Meaning in this? (Spirit)
Only by connecting these three perspectives do we arrive at the Truth (volume). This is the thinking of a person living by Kon.
Symbol of Man
Graphically, the letter “K” resembles a figure of a person with one hand raised to Heaven and the other lowered to Earth (or with legs spread apart). This is a channel. We are conduits. Our task is to receive the flows of Spirit (the vertical line) and ground them into matter (the lower “leg”), while simultaneously raising the energy of the Earth to Heaven (the upper “hand”). If this flow is blocked (if we only focus on the material or fly off into the spiritual), the letter breaks, and life collapses.

I lived and studied abroad in New Zealand, taking English language courses. I lived and worked in South Korea in the fields and at sea. In total, I’ve visited four different countries, different from those where Russian is spoken. I’ve interacted with people from at least 20 different cultures, religions, and faiths. I share my experiences on my blog. I try not to judge or make any judgments, but I do draw conclusions.
