The WHEEL is one of the main symbols of the cosmic driving force that controls the planets and stars, as well as continuous change and repetition

Wheel — symbol of solar energy. The sun is a wheel spinning in the Sky: The sun is the center, and the spokes of the wheel are the rays. The wheel is an attribute of all sun gods and their earthly messengers — the sun kings. It symbolizes the universal rule, life cycle, rebirth and renewal, generosity, variability and change in the material world. It can also symbolize the material world: the circle is the limit of the material world, and the center is a fixed point, a "fixed engine", the cosmic center is a source of light and power.

Split circle radius represents the periods of cyclical manifestations of the material world.

The appearance of chariots, which had great military importance, made the wheel the main symbol not only of the Sun, but also of power, power, dominion, especially in Egypt, the middle East, India and Asia.

The winged wheel indicates extreme speed. The rolling ceremony of the wheel symbolizes the Sun rolling across the sky. This ritual supports the Sun at the time of the winter solstice.

Symbolism linking the spinning wheel to the cycles of manifestation (birth, death and rebirth) and the fate of man is also widespread.

There is also a "Wheel of signs", or zodiac, symbolizing the change of years, time and life depending on the Sun.

The motif with two intersecting lines inside the circle (known as the wheel cross and later became the third cross in Christianity) preceded the invention of the wheel and was also found in pre-Columbian America (when the wheels were still unknown).

The gods, intimately connected with the wheel usually had a sun or world power: Ashur, Shamash and Baal — in the middle East; Zeus, Apollo and sometimes Dionysus — in Ancient Greece; Vishnu-Surya — in India.

Burning wheels rolled down the hills in July on the summer solstice, as if pushing the solar chariot to go beyond the horizon and reappeared the next day.

In Egyptian mythology, man was created on the Potter's wheel of Khem (Mind). The Egyptians associated the rotating Potter's wheel (a likely prototype of the transport wheel) with the evolution of humanity itself.

Maristov the wheel represents the Sun, rotating in the sky. In the Sumerian-Semitic tradition, the wheel of life and the wheel of the Sun are the attributes of the solar gods Ashur, Shamash, Baal and all the gods of war.

In the Greco-Roman tradition, the wheel with six spokes is an attribute of Zeus (Jupiter) as a heavenly God. The sun wheel symbolizes the chariot of Helios (Apollo) and is the emblem of Dionysus. The wheel of life, by Proclus, is a symbol of the cycle of creation, or the wheel of Ixion. It also symbolizes destiny.
