[1] “This geometrical shape has two variants: the ellicoid spiral and the plane one. They have a common symbolism that evokes the evolution, the emanation, the extension, the cyclical progressive development. (…). It is the representation of the movement that was started in a certain point and it is prolonged at the infinite, it could be projected far away in time, to the evolution of the material world or to the movement of the ideas.” in: Evseev, Ivan, Dictionar de simboluri si arhetipuri culturale (Dictionary of Symbols and Cultural Archetypes), Ed.
