Summary edit

Description The constellations of the Big Dipper (Ursa Major) and Little Dipper (Ursa Minor) rotating around the precessional north celestial pole (centred in α Ursae Minoris). In the four phases of time they draw a swirling swastika. The pole star with the seven stars of the north, and the swastika symbol, are used in many cultures of the world since immemorial times to represent the principle of reality, or the God of the universe, in its way of manifestation/generation.
