Spirals are some of the oldest geometric shapes in ancient artwork dating back at least to the Neolithic period, the product of people thousands of years away from having access to writing. They are also repeated often in nature. In terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (ego, outward perception, matter) to the inner soul (enlightenment, nirvana, intuition, cosmic awareness). Movements between the inner world and the outer world are mapped by the spiraling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale. Because of its connection with mother goddesses, the spiral is a very feminine symbol, representing not only women but also a variety of things traditionally associated with women. Besides lifecycles, fertility and childbirth, the spiral can reference intuition and other more internal concepts associated with women. Certain spirals such as those reflecting the golden ratio (1: 1.618) or the Fibonacci sequence reflect certain mathematical truths. As such, some find those spirals to have particular value and meaning. 7mm x 7mm
