Description
Excerpt from The Town of Santa Fe, New Mexico (A. D. 1604): The Bishop's Lodge, Santa Fe
The central circle of the Sun Symbol is the Cosmos, in which is shown a face, as the Indian conceives it. As an Indian stands upon an eminence and looks about him, everything comprised within the circle of his vision, or imagination, is his idea of the Cosmos.
The outer edge of the circle of the Cosmos is bordered by points, representing clouds.
Outside of the clouds is the circle of the Sun, from which rays are sent out in every direction, and from which also spring the lightning, represented by forked tongues capped by arrow heads to symbolize swiftness.
