Ankh
An Egyptian cross symbolizing a mythical eternal life, rebirth, and the life-giving power of the sun. Wh the sign itself represents is often disputed. One interpretation that has been widely accepted was that it was a sandal. Egyptians called that part of the sandal 'nkh because this word was composed of the same consonants as the word "life", the sign to represent that particular part of the sandal, was also used to write the word "life".

Star of DavidThe star of David is a symbol of Jewish people. One idea is that a six-pointed star receives form and substance from its solid center. This inner core represents the spiritual dimension, surrounded by the six universal directions. (A similar idea applies to Shabbat -- the seventh day which gives balance and perspective to the six weekdays.)

Olympics SymbolEvery rings stands for one of the five continents. Although there are seven continents, Antarctica is excluded and North America and South America are considered one.

Dream CatcherIf hung over your bed your bad dreams are filtered through the web and dissipate into the Universe; your good dreams remain caught in the web. Thunderbird thinks it is a shame to lose some of those bad dreams because those are the teaching dreams, and they have presented themselves because there are teachings and messages that need to be listened to. There is another school of thought that reverses the process by capturing the bad dreams and allowing the good ones ones to fly free.
