The spiral symbolizes expanding awareness, holistic growth and evolution, associated with the cycles of time, the seasons, the cycle of birth, growth, death, and then rebirth.In ancient Britain, the spiral was associated with the Goddess and divine feminine as the doorway to life, the spiral of creation. The spiral symbol was used to connect to the divine and union with cosmic energies in which the mind is released into altered states, connecting to profound realms of awareness. The spiral is seen throughout nature - in hurricanes and tornadoes, whirlpools, in the pattern of seeds in a sunflower, in the growing tips of ferns, vines, sea shells, and as a helix, the shape of the DNA molecule. The spiral also symbolizes letting go, surrender and release.
