New creations. Spiral earrings

One more week of January has flew by. This week I was made two pairs of new earrings and remade one pair of earrings that were send for collaboration. You know, that one of my favorite pattern that I love to draw is Spiral. So this post is for my new and remade Spiral earrings. I was wondering what meaning can be for Spirals as signs. I never thought about what I draw, but this time I searched and was found an interesting article, that I paste below.
The new pair of Spiral earrings are in Gold and Dark Chocolate colors and with metal bead. I love them!)
The second earrings, that I remade are in peacock blue and lemon yellow colors. You can find more about them in one of my previous post.

Spiral Symbolism

Remade Spiral Earrings
A few spiral meaning keywords to start our spin around spiral symbolism will include attributes such as: Balance, Progress, Direction, Initiation, Centering, Expanding, Awareness, Connection, Journeying, Development.
Perhaps it’s most prolific appearance is in Celtic symbology where we see the spirals decorating a myriad of their ancient artifacts. In Celtic art and symbolism, we can intuit a few meanings from the forcefully present spiral:
  • Evolution and holistic growth
  • Letting go, surrender, release
  • Awareness of the one within the context of the whole
  • Connectivity and union with deific and cosmic energies
  • Revolutions of time, stars, planets and the way of natural progress
I particularly like this last "connectivity to the Divine" observation. Indeed, I think ancient Celtic artists used the spiral symbol as a mind-altering creative process in which the act of creating a spiral in their work released their minds into a creative splendor. Perhaps that’s why we see them dominate the Celtic world; out of a strong desire to step outside the physical and enter a gossamer domain where dreams and intuition take hold of awareness.

Speaking of the dance of the universe, in astrology, the spiral meaning sparkles with an understanding of a universe in constant motion. And, as science can attest, our universe spirals out infinitely, thus reinforcing the concept of our endless skies.
In terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception) to the inner soul (enlightenment, unseen essence, nirvana, cosmic awareness). Movements between the inner (intuitive, intangible) world and the outer (matter, manifested) world are mapped by the spiraling of archetypal rings; marking the evolution of humankind on both an individual and collective scale.
Moreover, in terms of rebirth or growth, the spiral symbol can represent the consciousness of nature beginning from the core or center and thus expanding outwardly. This is the way of all things, as recognized by most mystics.
