World Triad Meaning
Originally an oriental symbol, it was "adopted by western Gnostics as an symbol of cosmic creativity, the threefold attributes of reality or fate, and the eternally spiraling cycles of time. In Japan it was maga-tama or mitsu tomoe, the world soul. In Bhutan and Tibet, it is still accepted as the Catholic Mandala, a sign of the Trimurti. Like the yin yang, it aswell represents eternity. This is aswell the attribute for U.S. Department of Transportation. Another Gnostic attribute is the uroborus.
