In different cultures it is called by names such as haoma, asherak, yggdrasil, irminsu or asvattha. Thus, one often sees it in prayer rugs, as a reminder of the passage from this existence into a higher life.
Diamond or Lozenge: It has been conjectured that this omnipresent motif in Anatolian kilims is a male triangle attached to a female triangle, and thus signifies creation. There are doubtless many interpretations. A diamond surrounded by hooks is called in Turkish kirkbudatz, 'forty branches'.

Last day of vacation! We just did a small walk to our local hill. The clouds in the south look pretty grey, while it looked nice in the north.

That's disgusting, where? Meme Text: Influencer brauchen für die USA ein Arbeitsvisum? Das ist ja abscheulich! Wie können wir das für den Schengen-Raum einführen?

Just finished "Oksi" by Mari Ahokoivu. A wonderful example of a contemporary myth, and very beautifully drawn.
