Overlapping Tori and Portal Symbols in Art and Religion

Someone used pInterest chat to send me this, with no comment. I put it into at least 4 collections and I thought it would be useful material to show here.

Overlapping tori for overlapping realities, and the middle one is serving as a portal between the lower and upper circles. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/overlapping-tori/

The horizontal plane of the middle circle is boundary between realities. The branches of the tree trunk also start there. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/tree-top-of-trunk/

Fire on those up-triangles are an "entry portal" into the bottom of each circle. Seven fires, seven of any outflow symbol (stars, dots, fires) are markers for portals (inlet/outlets through a barrier). https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/seven-dots/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/menorah/

A heart is usually oriented with outflow going up, but the cross at its center is a downward symbol, so it's bidirectional. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/heart/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/handheld-cross/

The bird above the name Jesus is also a portal symbol, wings are it's barrier, the bird body is the little portal torus in the middle. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/wings-as-barrier/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/wings-portal/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/bird-portals/ The bird head is being the upward flow, the down-pointing-triangle is the downward flow, and top-center portals are bidirectional.

Symbols in the four outer corners are for portals for side flows outside of the big circle. The right child (marking as etheric) has an upward key and a downward lilies, so it is the bidirectional portal. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/lilly-wand/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/key/

The laurel ring is another portal, and holding a spindle wand at the bottom indicates upward etheric flow, so it is the upward side. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/spindle-wand/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/ring-portal/

The sword is showing downward flow, the broom is the only symbol I have difficulty with. I infer that it is the upward bottom portal in this case, but sometimes it seems opposite. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/broom/ The barren branch is upward flow, and looks somewhat like brooms. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/barren-branch/

The top-center eye generally means a portal and nothing malicious. The 6-point star shape is a torus with 6 outer portals and can be found worldwide, often used as a portal-to-heaven kind of meaning. It has wings, so it is a portal between those barrier wings. https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/eye-pyramid-up-triangle/ https://ca.pinterest.com/stevenbhalls/star-of-david/
