A closer look at each of four quarters
of the outer ring of the Aztec Calendar.
Here at the bottom are the faces in profile of the
Lord of Darkness and the Lord of Light
each emerging from the mouth of a Serpent.
The semi-circle of each serpent's body
extends around the perimeter of the Calendar
and they meet tail to tail at the top.  More >

Another Image from ancient Gotland.
A cross section of the sphere of Life.
Beneath the surface of water,
All Aquatic Life.
Above the surface, the Global Forest,
And all that Lives within the sea of Air.
The roots of the Tree reach into the water,
With an echo on the far right
Tying the Land to the Water.  More >

an island in the Baltic sea between Sweden and Finland.
The design is inscribed in stone.
At the center is a circular design from the Aztec claendar.
Looks like a half opened eye,
the pupil and iris below the half raised eyelid.
The circular Scandinavian design
connotates movement.  More >
