This creative flow of energy is supposed to be refreshing and uplifting to counteract the effects of a long hard week where you have given everything both physically and emotionally and you feel completely depleted. It represents a new flow of creative energy or an idea flowing from within.

The Spiders Web

Another popular symbol for creativity is the \”spider\’s web\” or Ananse Ntontan symbol… 

Spider\’s Web or Ananse Ntontan symbol

\"spiders

This is a symbol of creativity and complexity and comes from Anansi which is pronounced \”Ah-nahn-see\” – a well-known spider character in West African and Caribbean folklore tales.

The character is sometimes referred to by other names: \”Kwaku\”, \”Ananse\” and \”Anancy\” and while the character is a spider he can often appear as a man.

In other cultures, this symbol is associated as a kind of wheel of fortune representing how you should make the most out of life\’s ups and downs or positive/negative experiences.

It\’s about taking hold of opportunities when they represent themselves to you.

When times are bad the wheel will turn once more and bring new hopefully more positive experiences.

Concluding Thoughts

Throughout my research, I have not been able to find any documented evidence that an actual symbol for creativity exists.

If you really want a symbol to represent creativity I would suggest that you get your creative juices flowing and design your own.

I quite like these that I found through a few simple searches on the Internet.
