Your explanation of the meanings adds a lot to my perception of the symbols. It's always great to return to your roots. Well done!

Magneto would love these, Dave. Ha. I still haven't photographed my few remaining frig magnets. I'll try to do that AFTER I finish this $&^$ sculpture. With the sun out in full force, I could try making a few more. Hope all is as it should be. :)

Love these even though I don't know the meaning.

Artist Reply: Thank you John ... Lithuania was the last Indo European country to be Christianized , 1387 I think ... before then they were pagan . The two symbols at the ends are " World Trees" represents the link between the heavens, earth, and underworld , nature of life and connection of all realms. It's also used for the neo pagan movement after Lithuania's independence. The second one from the left is a "Ragana" or witch symbol The one in the middle (I made up) to symbolize the suns power for growth The one second from right is a summer sun symbol Thank you for your comment and for reading this : )
