History: the symbolism and the meaning of the belt

Since ancient times, for many peoples, the belt has had a sacred meaning associated with the idea of perfection, infinity, and integrity. This infinity has long been symbolized by the circle. The tied belt was compared to the shape of a circle and therefore endowed with the same magical properties. The belt denoted the middle or center of the universe, the umbilical cord, which symbolizes life potential. This symbolism makes the girdle a powerful talisman.
