The breath of the cosmos. The Double Spiral (or S-Spiral) is an ancient symbol representing the eternal balance between opposing forces: ebb and flow, life and death, masculine and feminine. A powerful icon for harmony, energy flow, and the journey of the soul.
Double Spiral – Symbol of Cosmic Balance & Duality Wall Decal
The Dance of Two Forces The Double Spiral is one of the oldest symbols found across various cultures, dating back to the Bronze Age and prominently featured in Celtic art. It visually represents the cyclical nature of existence and the fundamental law of duality:
Inward Spiral: Represents the journey inward—the retreat, reflection, and quiet wisdom (feminine, lunar energy).
Outward Spiral: Represents expansion, growth, action, and expression (masculine, solar energy).
The two spirals joined at the center symbolize the point of perfect equilibrium, reminding us that true harmony is found not in eliminating one force, but in balancing both.
The Breath of Life (Prana) The shape of the Double Spiral can be seen as the ultimate symbol of breathing:
Inhale: Energy flows inward, reaching the still center.
Exhale: Energy flows outward, expanding into the world. This decal serves as a constant, gentle reminder to stop, breathe deeply, and align your inner rhythm with the cosmic pulse.
Ancient Talisman for Transition In Celtic traditions, the double spiral often marked burial sites, symbolizing the journey of the soul from one life to the next—a constant process of transition and renewal. Placing it in your home brings the energy of continuous growth and safe passage through life’s changes.
Aesthetic Flow Visually, the smooth, continuous curves add a sense of movement and softness to any wall. It is elegant, timeless, and profound, making it a perfect match for:
Meditation Rooms: To focus on breath and balance.
Bedrooms: To promote rhythmic, regenerative sleep.
Boho & Zen Interiors: Where ancient wisdom meets modern simplicity.

Color Selection
To test the color in advance and to check whether your surface is suitable for our wall decals, we recommend ordering our color sample card with a sample wall decal in your desired colors. Not every wall paint or surface is suitable!
A little trick is to test the adhesive strength in advance with a regular adhesive tape for 1-2 days. If the tape (please test for 1-2 days) sticks well, the surface is very likely suitable for our self-adhesive wall decals. To be on the safe side, order test strips in your desired colors.
Our wall decals are suitable for:
Indoor Use
Wallpapers (including most woodchip/textured wallpapers)
Wall paints with a high content of silicates (potassium silicate), silicones, latex, acrylic, and synthetic resins.
"Schöner Wohnen" paints (high content of silicate/potassium silicate/mineral wall paint).
Wall paints that are moisture-wipeable.

Porous or textured surfaces.

A little trick is to test the adhesive strength in advance with regular adhesive tape for 1-2 days. If the tape (please test for 1-2 days) sticks well, the surface is very likely suitable for our self-adhesive wall decals. To be on the safe side, order test strips in your desired colors.
Freshly painted walls should be allowed to dry for at least 14 days. For freshly plastered walls, the waiting time should be even longer.
Adhesive films should be mounted shortly after delivery and not stored over several months. A dry, dust-free place, not below 10°C and not above 30°C, is best suited for storage.
The bonding temperature should be at least 15°C. Cold and damp walls can make it difficult to affix.
Before you start mounting, the adhesive film should be unrolled and left in the same room as the surface to be glued for about an hour. This allows the material to adapt to the room temperature. Please pay special attention to this in winter when the wall decal or sticker is delivered in a cold state.
Temperature differences during transport can cause bubbles to form. These do not affect the quality of our products. The air inclusions can be carefully smoothed out with the squeegee.
Our wall decal should only be stored for a few weeks and should be applied to the wall soon after delivery.
