Manji (whirlwind) is the swastika used in Buddhist art and scripture. It represents Dharma, universal harmony, and the balance of opposites.
The Manji is made up of several elements: a vertical axis representing the joining of heaven and earth, a horizontal axis representing the connection of yin and yang, and the four arms, representing movement — the whirling force created by the interaction of these elements.
The left-facing Omote Manji represents love and mercy. The Ura Manji, facing right, represents strength and intelligence. In Zen Buddhism, the Manji represents the ideal harmony between love and intellect. |

The Chaos star is a spoked device with eight equidistant arrows radiating from a central point. It was originally devised as a symbol of chaos (infinite possibility). The Chaos wheel has been adopted as a symbol of Chaos Magick.
Chaos Magick? It is a part of Ritual Magick, one of the oldest and most mysterious spiritual traditions. It's about doing things your way. Chaos Magick is doing what works — for you. |
Yin Yang (yab yam). Taoist symbol of the interplay of forces in the universe. In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang represent the two primal cosmic forces in the universe. Yin (moon) is the receptive, passive, cold female force. Yang (sun) is masculine — force, movement, heat. The Yin Yang symbol represents the idealized balance of the forces; equilibrium in the universe.
