Wisdom from Above is an image of the spindle whirl, which is from the Cowichan Valley people, and it is basically shaped around the sun going down and is a very important part of the culture.

A lot of their patterns and sweaters came from the spindle whirl and they used it for many thousands of years. Currently a lot of the designs created from this Spindle Whirl are being used by Calvin Kline in his design works in the USA. It is almost like the Spindle Whirl itself is like a gift from above, it helped clothe them and gave great beauty to this earth, not that it is being worshipped, it is just a really amazing gift and addition to a beautiful culture.
