Spiral

The spiral is the circle that does not close. Celtic stone carvings, Indigenous basketry, Greek meanders, galactic arms — the spiral is everywhere in nature and art because it is the shape of growth that returns on itself at a deeper level. Jungian analysis reads spiral-dreams as the individuation journey rendered visible: what seems like repetition is actually revisitation — the same theme, at a different depth. Notice whether the spiral moves inward or outward, and where you stand on it.
