Cosmic Genesis cover

[odemarken]

Hi there all Vintersorg fans! (I used to post a little on this forum, but that was.. oh my - about three years ago. No idea why I didn't return here earlier... but lets get to the point )
I have a question to mr V (or anyone knowing something on that matter xP ):
what is the symbol used on the cover of Cosmic Genesis, what is it's origin and meaning - or is it your invention? Does it symbolise harmony of nature or something similiar? The only thing I know is that I like the looks of it

Yeah, well this isn't exactly the first time we've had this question here, is it? To save Mr. V from typing a few lines on his keyboard, I urge you to visit my page www.itrollskogens.tk. Here's a directlink to the FAQ where you will find the answer to your question - http://wixx.org/~hebbe/Trollskogen/faq.htm

Alright, but that answer isn't really clear... Why do 11 "Sticks" and 22 circles stand for the band??

 

[Horz]

If you look at it carefully you'll notice that there are actually 22 pieces that are broadened on one end and curved on the other.
11 broadened ends are joined in the middle of the symbol and then the remaining 11 were added and joined to the curved ends. Or was this a secret?

Actually, I don't think that the number of circles or numbers of anything matters when it comes to this symbol. It's just a good-looking symbol made by V - something that stands for the band.

 

[Horz]

Yes, I know, I was just implying that the stucture of the simbol is made of 22 equal parts.

As for the symbol itself, i don't know if number eleven has any meaning.
If any of you are familiar with Therion, you know that Therion uses a 11-pointed star as a symbol. That star represents the Black Sun.

Numer 11 does have a meaning - it's an age.

I am not familiar with Therion, but my right arm is...

 

[Horz]

Well, that's the one...

I made this couple months ago:

It was meant to be clock...

Really nice job! Now I have a good pic to use for a tattoo.

 

[odemarken]

Nice... An eleven-hour clock, right? Now that's... original As for the symbol... well, I got used to not always being able to follow mr V and his thoughts but I know what I wanted to - that it doesn't stand for anything other than the band.

This is nice! And what are you planning to do with it?

 

[Horz]

And this is what happens when you get bored at school

 

[Thidrek]

You used a circle. j00 b00n!! lol

just kidding, it's nice, especially that sun. Did you draw it free hand or with a sample?

 

[Draugen]

And this is what happens when you get bored at school

Hehe, I have like a hundred of those left from my school-days as well!

 

[Horz]

@Thidrek: Like I said, it just came to me in the school, no sample. (and what circle do you have in mind?)

 

[Väinämöisen Viikate]

This is nice! And what are you planning to do with it?

I just let it be,hanging on the wall.

 

[Thidrek]

Oh, i didn't mean "circle" but "pair of compasses" (It's called "Zirkel" in German, that's why I mixed things up...). You know, that drawing instrument with the two long legs XD

Ah, so now that first sentence makes sense. I didn't understand what you were aiming at - but now I think I can see the traces from the eraser.
