I unknowingly mentioned something that could also fit the yin-yang model of ‘the wisecompass’ - the artic and antartic polar regions see at least one sunless day and at least one sunfilled day every year, the duration of these polar nights and polar days increasing as one nears the poles, where the sun rises and sets only once per year - an example of the balance of light and dark much like expressed by that ancient asian symbol.

You also underscore the nature of Wise Compasses as creatures of place - one doesn\’t shop the Lakota Medicine Wheel all over the world and expect it to apply everywhere. But it fits perfectly in its origin place.

I probably would have said something entirely different if I lived in the artic circle.
