I love looking at old carvings, but it’s tricky, you know. I usually start by hunting for repeated patterns—little symbols that pop out. I get distracted by the weather or a stray thought, but when I focus, the picture starts to emerge. I’m skeptical of the mainstream explanations, think they’re just scratching the surface. Want to share what you saw?

That sigil sounds like a classic triad trick—spirals always mean motion, so wind, water, earth fit. I’d read it as a cycle: the quarry’s own breathing. The intertwined part shows they’re not separate—they feed each other, like wind eroding stone, water carving paths, earth holding the rock. The mason’s “keeper” idea? Think of it as the stone’s guardian, a little sigil that keeps the place alive, like a heartbeat. It’s subtle, so only shows when the light catches it, maybe to keep it hidden from random folks. If you dig deeper, you might find a similar motif in the surrounding region—maybe it’s a local protective charm. Just keep an eye out for any other repeated shapes nearby; they’ll give you the full story.
