I have fantastic taste but I'll let you change the subject this time.
Ollin is an old cultural thing. I've told you that I never knew my family but, I did know a little bit of my heritage. Not sure how much of my background it is but it's at least partially mine. I like to think things like this connect me back.
Anyway, you pronounce it like "all in" and that's kind of what it means. It stems from words in the Nahuatl language meaning heart and life, and combines in its new form to mean movement. So, to move with all heart and soul.
The Aztecs had this thing about wearing your heart on your face, which might sound strange, but it's about making sure you're seeing things clearly without setting feelings aside. You have to go forward with heart and intent, and not just alone, but with all those around you. A community seeking ollin.
These concepts come up a lot in symbols and it would probably take all day to go into even the meanings of just one. But, ah, the symbol I'm talking is pretty famous in my culture. You can find it on the Aztec calendar even, and the meaning I always really liked was [Don't laugh at the irony Gamma, he swears...] a full completion of the life and death cycle. A fullfillment, you know? I used to have a belt buckle with the symbol, and then two crossed guitars over top. Really cool.
