  • Triple Tomoe and Related Threefold Symbols
    Triple Tomoe and Related Threefold Symbols Tao Te Ching Chapter 42 (Part) The Tao begot one. One begot two. Two begot three. And three begot the ten thousand things. The ten thousand things carry yin and embrace yang. They achieve harmony by combining these forces. This can be interpreted as the Tao giving birth to the Universe (the One) which gives rise to Yin and Yang (the Two), whose interaction creates Energy / Chi (the Three) from which comes Everything (the Ten Thousand Things). I Ching A broken and a solid line signify yin and yang respectively and are combined in groups of three with the upper line representing Heaven, the lower line Earth and the middle line Humanity. These groups of three make the eight possible trigrams. Two Through to Three In this article, we will look at the birth of the 3 and consider some of the various symbolic depictions of this threefold harmony. Threes abound in religion, myth and folklore. They occur again and again in sayings, proverbs and fa- bles. Such things as: three wishes, three cheers, third time lucky. Albert Einstein’s famous equation E = mc 2 describes the whole cosmos as aspects of Energy – Mass – Light Triple Tomoe or Triple Apostrophe Triple Tomoe Symbol Visually, the appearance of the triple tomoe (mitsu tomoe) is closely related to the yin-yang ‘double fish’, both giving the impression of rotational movement. Like the yin-yang diagram, it can be drawn in either clockwise or counter-clockwise rotation. It is usually associated with the symbolism of Shinto where it is seen as representing the ‘World Triad’.

  • Symbol of Hatred
    Information about the symbol of hatred Swastika Variations: This symbol has a considerable number of variations. In some versions, the “arms” point in different directions, both left and right. In others, the number of arms varies. For example, in Ukraine, swastikas with four to eight arms are called “Kolovrats,” whereas a swastika with 12 arms is referred to as a “black sun.” The ends of the arms can be bent at a right or sharp angle, or they can be arced, straight, or wavy. Origin: An ancient sun symbol that is found in many cultures around the world. It most likely symbolizes the movement of the sun. In Sanskrit, the literary language of ancient India, the word “swastika” means "luck" and a "successful future." Uses: The first Christians used the swastika before the cross. It has also been used by Kabbalists (mystical teachers of Judaism), and later the Freemasons and occultists. It can be found on Russian, Soviet, British, and, even to this day, Finnish documents and emblems. It is also an important symbol in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism. From the second half of the nineteenth century onwards, the swastika has been used by proponents of Aryan supremacism, the idea that so-called "Aryans" — alleged descendants of a loosely-defined ancient people — are superior to other races and should dominate the world. They declared the swastika a symbol of ancient Aryan heritage, claiming that it was included on the altars of ancient Aryans. From the end of the nineteenth century onwards, it became a symbol of German ultranationalists. After World War I, it also became a popular anti-Semitic symbol.

Away back on the horizon of our records, seemingly a little beyond their limit, an emblem we recognize as the swastika came into existence. Of the past history re- lated to this little emblem we desire to know more; not because it is particularly attractive, or its construction, as it is we see it, complicated, but because known to have been in use in Europe, Africa, Asia, and America when we supposed there was no communication at least be- tween the "Old and New World." To our minds it appears much like a beautiful cloud that once floated above a setting sun, tinted with bril- — liant colors now scattered by the "four cardinal giants" here and there over the earth.

  • Architectural Temperance: Spain and Rome, 1700-1759
    Architectural Temperance Spain and Rome, 1700–1759 Architectural Temperance examines relations between Bourbon Spain and papal Rome (1700–1759) through the lens of cultural politics. With a focus on key Spanish architects sent to study in Rome by the Bourbon Kings, the book also discusses the establishment of a program of architectural educa- tion at the newly-founded Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid. Victor Deupi explores why a powerful nation like Spain would temper its own building traditions with the more cosmopolitan trends associated with Rome; often at the expense of its own national and regional traditions. Through the inclusion of previously unpublished documents and images that shed light on the theoretical debates which shaped eighteenth-century architecture in Rome and Madrid, Architectural Temperance provides an insight into readers with new insights into the cultural history of early modern Spain. Victor Deupi teaches the history of art and architecture at the School of Architecture and Design at the New York Institute of Technology and in the Department of Visual and Performing Arts at Fairfield University. His research focuses on cultural politics in the early modern Ibero-American world. Routledge Research in Architecture The Routledge Research in Architecture series provides the reader with the latest scholarship in the field of architecture. The series publishes research from across the globe and covers areas as diverse as architectural history and theory, technology, digital architecture, structures, materials, details, design, monographs of architects, interior design and much more. By mak- ing these studies available to the worldwide academic community, the series aims to promote quality architectural research.

  • Hate Symbols Database
    HATE ON DISPLAY™ HATE SYMBOLS DATABASE 1 HATE ON DISPLAY This database provides an overview of many of the symbols most frequently used by a variety of white supremacist groups and movements, as well as some other types of hate groups. You can find the full listings at adl.org/hate-symbols INTRODUCTION TO THE HATE ON DISPLAY HATE SYMBOLS DATABASE ADL is a leading anti-hate organization that was founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of anti-Semitism and bigotry. Today, ADL is the first call when acts of anti-Semitism occur and continues to fight all forms of hate. A global leader in exposing extremism, delivering anti-bias education and fighting hate online, ADL’s ultimate goal is a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination or hate. ADL’s Center on Extremism debuted its Hate on Display hate symbols database in 2000, establishing the database as the first and foremost resource on the internet for symbols, codes, and memes used by white supremacists and other types of haters. Over the past two decades, Hate on Display has regularly been updated with new symbols and images as they have come into common use by extremists, as well as new functions to make it more useful and convenient for users. Although the database contains many examples of online usage and shared graphics, another feature that makes it unique is its emphasis on real world examples of hate symbols—showing them as extremists actually use them: on signs and clothing, graffiti and jewelry, and even on their own bodies as tattoos and brands.
