IArtist's Comments

By googling that rune I got the page of the top ten sites. This is the top of the list, but it is quite fascinating to explore the many nuances of the various interpretations on the other sites.

The more I read the more convinced I am that it is time to turn Peace around.

Go for it!

Hello i-artiste,
I received your request to become a "friend". I'm more interested in getting to know your interests and how we intersect with our particular sets of meaning. Who are you? What are your interests and where do I fit in?

Aloha, I especially like your idea of peace being a seed...( I am really into gardening.) I hope you won't mind if I take this opportunity to plant a little seed in your thoughts. I recently joined the group "Turn Peace Around". Since I was really into Runes back in the 80's, I realised that the peace sign was actually the rune, algi( last letter of the alphabet, that my computer refuses to print). Runes are ancient symbols that have undoubtedly imprinted our DNA. The trouble is, the artist who came up with the peace sign was in a depressed and dejected state, so he expressed it in it's reversed position not even realising he was actually "imp"loying an ancient symbol. Uprighted it stands for protection, reversed it expresses dejection and hopelessness. Now, millions or more people are embracing a sign that is subconsciously keeping us locked in a lower state of consciousness. When first contemplating this, I thought, well, could a symbol really have that much of an "imp" act ? I have come to the realisation that it not only can, but it DOES. Take the "happy face" symbol as an example. If you turn that smile upside down, how does your body react? Well, think of the lines in the peace sign as a symbol of the human body. Stand in that position and think about how it makes you feel. Now do a 180...lift your arms up heavenward as if to receive assistance and love from above. What do you think?

Love your work! It takes a little extra to work with one idea or motif and create with such variety. It takes real passion, doesn't it.

Thank You for Your Friendship. Warm Aloha to You. Mark
