The Amazing Spiral

The spiral is such an organic shape and is found throughout nature - From delicate fern prawns to massive galaxies - Incalculable numbers of spirals are carved onto rocks throughout the world. This universal symbol predates written language and experts can only guess at the specific meaning - What do you feel when you upon a spiral?

Ancient Blogs

Welcome to my sharing of a deep soul level interest I have had my entire life...the nature and effects of ancient communications. Through the magic of the Internet I am able to share my fascination and awe of "being" on this planet through ancient symbols used to express similar sensations.

Imagine our early ancestors and how they may have gone about communicating their day to day necessities, trivialities, milestones, transactions, struggles, relationships, and rituals....Imagine expressing the comfort of a warm sunrise...the success of a good hunt...the petition of prayers for fertile grounds...the need for order out of chaos....a joy of "being"....or a warning for those in the future...by scraping patterns onto rocks.

If it were not for these etchings carved in the recesses of damp caves and onto now hot desert rocks that once ringed vast inland lakes we would not have a glimpse into early accounts of the never ending cycles of life and death.
