Triskelion (Origins in ancient China)
Came to Europe through the silk road and is tied to Christianity and Judaism however, I associate its symbolism with the Celtic Triquetra both carrying varied meaning depending of belief systems and geography.
Land, sea, sky (Celtic)
The triple Goddess, maiden, mother, crone (Pagan)
The infinite circle of life, death, rebirth (various)
Mind, body, soul (various)
Holy Trinity, father, son, holy spirit (Christianity)

Look, if you're having a bad day, here's a 6,000 year old pig-shaped pottery pot.
My day's been fine can I still have the pig pot?

im having feelings about the uffington white horse again
so essentially there’s this cool horse drawn into the hills in england made out of chalk and it’s like 3,000 years old.
people carved trenches 3,000 years ago and filled them with chalk in the shape of a horse but what’s interesting is that if you fail to maintain the horse by adding new chalk regularly, it will disappear. for 3,000 years, we’ve been filling in chalk in this horse so it doesn’t disappear.
we’ll never know what the purpose of the horse was originally. we’ll never know if it had ritual or spiritual significance or if it was just art. but we do know that people maintained it then, and, even though the meaning of the horse has long been lost to time, we continue to maintain it now.
the people who made this horse are long dead, but they live through us still, don’t you think?
couldn’t agree more we’re best friends now

I'd like to introduce you to LJS 57, a compendium of Astronomical text in Hebrew, written in Spain around 1391. It's an interesting combination of astronomy and astrology, and illustrates how the division between "science" and "not science" was not nearly so clear in the past as it is today. It has some fantastic illustrations of constellations!
