A Flag for Kythera. Proposal 3. Utilising the shell from which Aphrodite emerged into the world.



[This is a work in progress. A 7-piece shell form (think the Shell petroleum logo) - in "clay yellow" - is to be placed in the centre (blue) circle

The shell metaphorically signifies the womb of Gaia (the world) - and the emergence of the female principle into the world (ie Aphrodite) - which allows for the emergence of humanity.

A Flag for Kythera. Proposal 1. Proposal utilising one of (wo)mankind's most ancient, primal and powerful symbols.



The original symbol for Aphrodite - Venus (Venus is the Romanised version of Kythera's Aphrodite).

To appreciate the power and primal nature of this symbol - go to:

Symbols.com Online Encyclopaedia of Western signs and ideograms

http://www.symbols.com/encyclopedia/41a/41a7.html

This is also the symbol used by astronomers to designate the planet Venus (Aphrodite).
