What are your favourite symbols? Which symbols mean the most to you?
i wear a yin yang symbol around my neck. I love what it represents, that flowing balance of darkness and light, the harmony of the male and female energies, and the subtle hint that each opposite contains the other.
But I am also a fan of the more Celtic type of triple spiral, the triskele. I took this photo of buttons when I visited an exhibition at the Musée des Arts Decoratifs in Paris because in all the variations of triple spirals I have seen, this is a new one on me.
As far as I am aware, human beings are the only creatures to create and use symbols. Choosing to have around us symbols which are personally meaningful can deepen the quality of every day experiences.

That’s a very interesting question, what symbols mean the most to me? I suppose I am thinking of those that I flaunt most ostentatiously, that make me proud or give me a sense of belonging, such as the flag of St Andrew for Scotland as a patch on my jacket, but now I have learned a few things about symbols, I learn how much their roots may be from a different original meaning, or may have multiple meanings or have been subverted over time.
The yin and yan is a great symbol to choose. I remember when I was at school in the 90s and this was everyone’s first choice for scribbling on their jotters. 😉
