A few highlights from the Turkish-Persian section of a random carpet symbolism book I skimmed while stopped at a random library in New Jersey a couple days ago

Tree of life: one of the oldest and most universal symbols of mankind. It supports the sky, and provides a path from earth to heaven. 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.

The swarm will include midges, mayflies, stoneflies, caddisflies, winged beetles, “a whole cadre of night-flying moths,” mosquitos, and possibly biting black flies.
The buzz will also serve as a banquet for bats t…

The justice department has asked a federal appeals court to
throw out the seditious conspiracy convictions of several leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers,
who were involved in the January 6 attack on the US Capitol.
In a court filing, the department asked the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit to vacate the convictions
– a step further than moves Trump made to commute the leaders’
