Labyrinthus









"...From earliest times the spiral gestalt has appeared
along with labyrinth as a symbol of transformation

of the life and death cycle: generation-growth-decay-death-rebirth
or regeneration. The ascending clockwise spiral is
associated with creative power, growth, and life;
the descending counterclockwise spiral with decay,
destruction, and death. The combination of the two,
the double spiral, symbolizes the perpetual transformation
from life to death and from death to life."
