Syncretic Zairja Paper Wheel (Small Version, 4 rings) ~7"
This mysterious object is what is known as a Cakra, or Wheel. It is made of concentric rings, each ring denoting a specific set of values. This technology is essentially what led to the creation of the computer, and was developed in ancient times by Moorish Arithmeticians, and rediscovered at various times in history such as during the Enlightenment by Neo-Platonists, Pythagoreans and others. It has been called many things: a zairja, a volvelle, cakra, or wheel.
Each Syncretic Zairja Paper Wheel is one-of-a-kind, hand-cut and hand-made from start to finish, and extensively researched as to accuracy.
Every wheel contained within the Zairja corresponds to different concepts or 'adjects': in the example photo shown, the adjects are the Tropical Zodiac, Greek/Roman Mythological Deities, Feng Shui Directions, and Musical Notes/Celtic Zodiac/Planetary Gates.
The idea behind Ramon Lull's usage and creation of these 'lamps' as he called them (or volvelles) was to show the inherent unity of God and the unlimited unrestrained nature of the divine mind as a means of converting people.
The Wheel can also be used for many endeavors such as creative problem solving, visualization, brainstorming, Random Number Generation, as well as many other syncretic or esoteric purposes.
Since each wheel is made-to-order/hand-made by me under exacting criteria, please allow some time before it can be completed and shipped to you.
