In most of its history, humanity lived in partnership and egalitarianism. What allowed us to survive was collaboration and trust. Collaboration was the main feature that shaped our biological evolution as a species. Spirituality that sustained mankind was the spirituality of the Great Goddess of Life. Across Europe from Paleolithic and until the advent of war-like religions, we find traces of the Great Goddess of Life. This spirituality of life built a peaceful and egalitarian civilization that Marija Gimbutas called it The Old Europe Civilization.
This old symbols of the Great Goddess culture are related with Nature, with The Great Circle of Life where we all find each other as partners. We hope this images to re-connect us with our ancestors and with their love and veneration for Nature and to revive confidence for partnership and remind us that we are One with all Life.
The spiral is a form that meets very often in nature. We can find it everywhere is an organically growing: be it a cyclone, a plant, a flower, a tendril of a plant, a shell, a spider web. The spiral was always the symbol of organic growth, of evolution, of becoming, of unfolding. Spiral was one of the most important symbols of the old Neolithic cultures of the Great Goddess of Life.
The triple spiral motif is often found in Old European Civilization: in Cucuteni culture (7200-5000), in Malta (6400–5600), in the astronomical calendar at the famous megalithic tomb of Newgrange in Ireland - 5200, in Minoan and Mycenaean vessels. The triskelion is an ancient symbol of Sicily. The Celtic symbol of three conjoined spirals can be found from Portugal to Ireland.
