Solstice Calendar

From The Ocean To The Stars

Symbols are meant to en capsulize ideas and ideals.  Here is my proposed symbol for a new Uber Rationalist Humanist Religion/Community (E.G.: The Church of Aristotle).  It’s dimensions are based on Fibonacci relationships.  The first impression is of the waves.  Life on earth (our true genealogy) began in the oceans of the blue dot (aka: Earth, Tera, Gaia or ….).  At the symbols center is a Star which stands for our destiny to explore and inhabit the stars.  Hence the Latin - Ab Oceanus Ad Astra - From the ocean to the stars.

I originally created this symbol in felt marker in the late 70’s.

FEEDBACK would be greatly appreciated.  So dear Solstice Calendar tourist please click on “comment” and share your thoughts.

PS: I am thinking of surrounding the Ab Oceanus Ab Astra symbol with 23 stars representing the 23 chromosomes of the human (homo sapien) genome.  What do you think?

PPS: In the words of Saunt Timothy O’Leary “Rise Above the Gene Pool and Think For Yourself”
