For the Mexicas there were two suns, the young Day sun and the ancient sun, the Dark sun. Some scholars regard the mythological Black sun as the ancient female origin of all, it is both tomb and womb." [Wikipedia] "The term Black Sun (German Schwarze Sonne), also referred to as the Sonnenrad (the German for "Sun Wheel"), is a symbol of esoteric or occult significance. Its design is based on a sun wheel incorporated in a floor of Wewelsburg Castle during the Nazi era. Today, it may also be used in occult currents of Germanic neopaganism, and in Irminenschaft or Armanenschaft-inspired esotericism - but not necessarily in a racial or neo-Nazi context. Despite its contemporary use, the Black Sun had not been identified with the ornament in the Wewelsburg before 1991, although it had been discussed as an esoteric concept in neo-Nazi circles since the 1950s. [Wikipedia] The eye's relation to the sun is significant to the dichotomy of the two meanings above. If you stare into the sun too long, it possesses you, it blinds you. The glowing sphere burns itself into your eyelids and you are incapable of seeing things as they are for a period of time. One might think of the possession of the mind by propaganda or the occult in the same manner.
