The Sufis still whirl in a sacred dance or active meditation (mystical Islam) to connect with Allah, God, the Universe, the Source, the Creative Force, Love, Life, Fate or any other way you would prefer to call it.
Our North-Western European pagan ancestors did, too.
May pole dances are a distant reminder, but (ritual) dancing was prohibited by Charles the Great (Charlemagne), who became king of the Franks in 771 and dedicated his life to converting forcing the European tribes to Christianity.

There are still some whirling symbols left though.
Ca. 100-200 CE picture stones, Gotland museum, Visby, Sweden.
Some say these whirling wheels represent the Sun. I'm not sure, and I need to contemplate more why I feel I disagree with it (I lean towards something more abstract). (I'll update when I've wrapped my thoughts around it ;) ).
Frankish belt, estimated 7th century (source).
And as a quick thought leap, maybe spirals are a good addition to this story, too. (Thinking out loud here, nothing final.)

Star trails long exposures from 2 nights at Weaver lake this summer. They turned out pretty similar to each other, which was not my intent lol. But still happy to see the results of these photos!

I saw meteors but my camera did not. It saw star trails though, so we're even.

Mt.Hood reflection under moon light by Liang Li
Via Flickr:
My July road trip to Oregon was a great one. I got to see many places that I had been longing to visit. This is the first stop where I shoot Mt.Hood reflection at Trillium Lake in Oregon. Moon was at its full phase during my visit so I took advantage of that to take this shot at night. Kinda like the mist on the lake and the star trails above.

The Sky Between the Shores
I captured this star trail from Indiana Dunes national park, which sits on the southern shores of Lake Michigan. Polaris is nicely framed above the waters of Lake Michigan. To the left or west is the city of Chicago and to the right or east are the vacation town shores of Michigan state. Chicago’s bright lights illuminate the western skies, eroding much of the dark sky.

Mindscape Eclipse.
This is what Eclipse looks like in the mindscape. All of the animatronics have a form like this within their headspaces.

The "darling being able to see Sunday's high-Fe social mask and avoids it" is so funny.
Because Sunday probably ends up thinking that you will be someone who he doesn't have to pretend around, he can be more free around you because you can see through him. I can even see the attraction being platonic at first before turning into something darker.
But because you can see through him, you know that there's something dangerous about him under that ethereal, beautiful appearance. There's no way you're getting yourself involved with that. Sunday simply wants someone he can be real around :')
But you keep on running away from him :')
