The Dragon's Head, also called The Tree of Life, is an ancient symbol found throughout the known worlds. It has been linked to Cardinalism, Quadrocardinalism, and many other belief systems. The sign is usually depicted with eight points, each with special names. In Quadism, the shape is also contained within an equilateral triangle, which represents creation.
