TETRASKELION — [Noun] A figure consisting of four limbs radiating symmetrically from a central point, such as the swastika or fylfot. From Ancient Greek τετρασκέλιον (tetraskélion, 'four-legged'), from τετρα- (tetra-, 'four') + σκέλος (skélos, 'leg'). Unlike the triskelion (which suggests motion, like a wheel forever beginning to turn) or the swastika (which carries the weight of a single, stained history), the tetraskelion is pure geometry—a balanced, silent mandala of axes. It is the spokes of a millwheel frozen at noon, the shadow of a windmill cast sharp on dry earth, the four cardinal directions meeting at a crossroads where no traveler stands. A shape so simple it becomes a vessel, waiting to be filled with meaning or emptied of it entirely.
