Spirals have been found in burial sites, in vases, in jewelry, clothing, weapons… They can be seen in every aspect in nature, like the tides in the oceans, the winds, the plants, the shells.

Η σπείρα είναι ένα από τα παλαιότερα σύμβολα της ανθρώπινης πνευματικότητας, σκαλισμένο ή ζωγραφισμένο σε βράχους χιλιάδες χρόνια πριν. Σύμβολο της κίνησης και της προοδευτικής ανάπτυξης, της ανάπτυξης, της επέκτασης, της κοσμικής ενέργειας, σύμβολο του ήλιου. Σπείρες έχουν βρεθεί σε χώρους ταφής, σε αγγεία, σε κοσμήματα, ρούχα, όπλα. Μπορούν να παρατηρηθούν σε κάθε πτυχή της φύσης, όπως οι παλίρροιες στους ωκεανούς, οι άνεμοι, τα φυτά, τα κοχύλια. Το φαινόμενο της σπείρας έχει εξηγηθεί μέσω των μαθηματικών από την εποχή του Αρχιμήδη, του μεγάλου Έλληνα μαθηματικού.

Meandros design is a decorative border constructed from a continuous line, shaped into a repeated motif. Such a design is also called the Greek fret or Greek key design, although these are modern designations. One the one hand, the name “meander” recalls the twisting and turning path of the Meander River in Asia Minor, and on the other hand, as Karl Kerenyi pointed out, “the meander is the figure of a labyrinth in linear form” the meaning is that these is no beginning and to end end in some cases so it become the symbol of long life and eternity.
