Spiral shapes often found in nature: galaxies, whirlpools and tornadoes, shells molluscs, the papillary lines of the fingers, the double helix of the DNA molecule. The principle of the spiral often found in nature, and this symbol has become widespread since the dawn of man. The spiral itself macrocosmica, but the naked eye cannot see, as in a spiral nebula manifests itself in the cosmos that can, for example, by observing vortex motion in flowing water or seeing the whirlpool that occurs when the water or other liquid is poured through the hole down. Since ancient times One of the most common decorative patterns from Europe (the double helix in the Celtic tradition or spiral on Roman capitals) to the Pacific Ocean (spiral carving Maori in New Zealand and the tattoo of the islanders in Polynesia). A very complex character that has been used since Paleolithic times and appears in pre-dynastic Egypt, Crete, Mycenae, Mesopotamia, India, China, Japan, pre-Columbian America, Europe, Scandinavia and Britain; it is found also in Oceania, but not in Hawaii. a very ancient and widespread graphic symbol, akin to a circle or, more precisely, the system of concentric circles, which at first glance is not always possible to distinguish from the spiral. While theoretically both symbolic representations are understood in a different way, it is possible that drawn from the centre in all directions "ring wave" (concentric circles) if you make it fast and fluently, moving in a spiral and can be interpreted in the same way, In principle, the spiral dynamic system, which, depending on the method of consideration may be either collapsed or expanded, the movement goes or to the center, or Vice versa, from the centre. Its ambiguity is unusually large. Combines the shape of a circle and the momentum brings together the symbolism of the circular and translational motion, which is often considered as the ascent. Development is done on the principle of the spiral. Each coil — end of a cycle and at the same time the beginning of the next. Each cycle is the heyday of those cycles which preceded it, and preparing more favourable conditions for the future. The development of the whole world is made according to the principle of the spiral. Each coil — end of one cycle and the beginning of another. Communication with natural objects often determines the symbolism spiral Symbolism spiral patterns is rather involuntary, conscious its use is much rarer. Even pointless game activities could also lead to the shape of the simple signs of this kind not involving a deep symbolic meaning. Ascending and descending spirals As divergent and convergent, it can mean the increase and decrease of the Sun, stays and decrease of the moon, and by analogy, growth and proliferation, death and contraction, winding and unwinding, birth and death. Opposing force, clearly present in the phenomena of nature, are reminiscent of the ascending, descending or rotational energy that drives the Cosmos. Upward spiral — masculine, phallic sign, the downward — female. The double helix the Double helix represent the snakes of the caduceus, the rod of the Brahman depicts the dual spiral line, on both sides of the sushumna are two thin canal, symbolizing the opposite currents, opposing forces, alternating the rhythm of the movement, the life, the Yang to the Yin ... Double helix (snakes on a caduceus, the sign of the Taoist "Yin-Yang") symbolize the balance of opposites. Double helix means increase and decrease the power of the Sun and the moon, and the changing rhythms of evolution and involution, life and death, etc. It can mean two hemispheres, two poles, day and night, all the rhythms of nature, Yin and Yang, Shakti-Shakti, the manifestation of the failure to exercise, and a sequence of cycles. Is a typical symbol of the androgyne and is connected with the symbolism of bidirectional operation, as well as with the solve et coagula of alchemy. A double helix is present at the symbol of Yin and Yang. Interesting sign of the double helix, in which both elements — samorazvitie and semiconcentrated ("evolution and involution") associated inseparably connected. This can be seen in the image "of the formation and disappearance" as a process of the eternal cycle. In this sense, we can interpret the double helix on the triangle surrounded by statues of "mother goddess" from Thrace Neolithic. The spiral shape of the snakes on the caduceus, as well as other double spiral, symbolizes balance of opposites. The same meaning is contained in the Taoist sign "Yin — Yang" is a kind of double helix.The spiral formed by the movement of water, maternal and sacred elements were considered manifestations of the Universe, which was perceived as an animate being; thus, the spiral is a way of life. The spiral also symbolizes breath and, possibly, fire (solar outlet with a spiral in the center, twisted columns, etc.). Spiral, in which there is a turbulent motion, is a symbol of development, of eternal change, whose value is close to the symbolism of the shell and is associated with Water, Moon and Woman (fertility, birth and rebirth, love and marriage). A flat spiral like a maze: development and regression (return to center). the spiral is often represented in the form of a coiled snake (symbol of wisdom). Spiral — a symbol of cyclical rhythms: the change of seasons, the increase and decrease of the moon, birth and death. Spiral rhythm of life. Sometimes the spirals were carved on gravestones, depicting the journey through the maze of the underworld. Diverse is the power of the Sun and moon, air, water, thunder and lightning. It is also a whirlwind, a great creative force, an emanation. It can also symbolize continuity. Can be a image of rotating sky, motions of the Sun, the changing seasons, the rotation of the earth. As the swirl during a storm or whirlpool, it means fertility and the dynamic aspect of being. Like a whirlwind or vortex, it compares Bastion with the great creative forces. Like a tornado it is associated with the descending Chinese dragon. Spiral and tornado have the same symbolism, especially when you play as symbols of energy in nature. The spiral, or vortex, is associated with spinning and Daniel web of life and the veil of the Mother Goddess, a hostess of fate and weaver of the veils of illusion. The spiral has, in addition, the same symbols as ла6иринт. In metaphysical terms it symbolizes the reality of the existence of different modalities of being, wandering of the soul in manifestation and its ultimate return to the center. As the thunder, lightning and rain clouds, it is a symbol of fertility. The IUD may also be a symbol of flame and fire, as in the symbolism of the Celts. The symbolism of the spiral contains all that has a helical structure: snail shells, sea shells, the ear, the tentacles of the octopus, animal horns, animals like the cat and the dog, which can arch your back, Curling in rings snake, plants that grow in a spiral ivy, fir cones and unblown leaves of a fern. It is also associated with the souls of gods and kings, with rain causing animals and reptiles, with a coiled and sleeping serpent of Kundalini. The gods of tornadoes and natural disasters and movements have a hairstyle in the form of spirals or shells. The spiral is also associated with the navel as the center of power and life. whirlpool - In any case, it serves as a hint to dive into the "depths of death". This could explain why such symbolic signs were often found as the carved images on the stone blocks megalithic prehistoric burial structures. Valid, however, that this way was played and the impression of the movement of heavenly bodies in the night sky. It is possible to observe that this kind of petroglyphs (carvings on stones) in the days of the solstice through the gap in buildings was highlighted and are cut sunlight. As the Sun in the evening "in the Western seas drowning", to the next morning to reappear in the East, the use of such signs could also be associated with images of "death and resurrection". In cultures that used pottery wheel, by simple observation it was possible to establish that system, such spiral can occur if the object (or finger) to hold moist, rotating the clay internally and externally. On prehistoric burial structures made of huge stones found in the spiral in the form of a three-palmettes, whose meaning, beyond the purely decorative item has not yet been set. Hypothetical is also the symbolic importance of the interconnection of the spiral and the labyrinth, although the set of ideas "the hard way inside and out again" close the symbolism of "dying-formation",
