Tree symbol thingy.



I scribbled this in among the notes I took on various workshops this past PantheaCon. It's somewhat similar to my "world layout" which has the Earth below and the Sun, Moon and Stars above (in the branches of the tree, or just above them), although I wouldn't use a spiral for the Sun usually, and I'm not sure why that appears here (perhaps it is not the Sun). *shrug* Just thought it might be interesting to see.

I've seen the spiral used as a faerie symbol, actually. The tree is definitely interesting Your scribbled trees that I've seen over the years have always struck a chord.

Yeah, I have that book, actually, and I can vouch that there is Something to the spiral symbol used in the book.

I wonder if there is any connection to the idea/fact that Underhill there is no sun, only "self-evident" sourceless light. (But then there should be no moon, nor really stars neither...)

Oo! Are you working with 3-fold cosmologies by any chance?

[arethinn]

Cosmology, thank you, that was the word I couldn't remember.

I'm not sure what you mean -- it's not something new, if that's what you mean. "Three worlds" (generally Land/Sea/Sky, but also Upper/Middle/Lower, depending on context) has been familiar to me for um. Years at least.

yes, upper/middle/lower or land/sea/sky or whatever. That's what I thought of when I saw your picture. The world tree with paths to all three worlds. Not sure if that is what you had in mind, but that's what came to mind for me.
