December Full Moon Post: Sacred Spiral of Life Redux

Since my Advent of the Sun Altar to celebrate the coming Winter Solstice is physically occupying my altar space this month, I'm doing a photo post to honour December's Full Moon. Consider it Part 2 of a similar post I did a couple of years ago!


The Sacred Spiral of Life is a powerful symbol found in many spiritual traditions, including that of the Divine Feminine. The path to the centre of existence and to the centre of ourselves resonates deeply in the human psyche and we reproduce it in many settings.


The Sacred Spiral forms the basis for the unicursal (single) path of another favourite spiritual symbol and practice of mine -- the labyrinth.


Once you start consciously looking for this symbol in nature, art, and architecture, you will see it everywhere! It expresses beauty, serenity, and meaning wherever it is found.

Pythagorean spiral, Carbonacci sequence, and the Golden Ratio may provide the mathematical foundations for these spirals, but it's the use of beautiful materials that make them beautiful to behold!
