The Hexafoil
History, Symbolism, Folklore, and Application of the Enigmatic Symbol
The hexafoil, rosette, religada, or daisy wheel is a symbol which has been long associated with the Sun and the protection of the household, the individual, and cattle since ancient times. To some cultures, it symbolizes the warmth and vitality of the Light, and it is believed to scare away the evils and dangers in Darkness. This symbol has been charged with cultural discourse and has become part of regional identities.
But what are the origins and different meanings associated to it? Is it related to witchcraft? How has it changed and evolved in those territories? How is it and how can it be applied today?
