The meaning of the shield:
The shield is painted in black,
red, yellow and white.
The color black represents
the cedar of the holy mountains.
The color red represents
the campfires of the people and spirit.
The color yellow stands
for the eagle of the East.
The color white stands for
innocence of heart.
This shield, as a whole, embodies the universe.
The black falcon feathers that are fastened to
the shield, symbolize
"The-falcon-who-sees-by-night".
The half Moon shapes symbolize twins.
When man stands in the light, he can only see one
half of the shield and has to look for the other
half of the shield in the darkness where there is
fear, but also joy.
One of the half Moons stands for one's own
personality, whereas the other half Moon stands
for other people.
Everyone is a mirror for the other.
For this reason, this shield is regarded as the
shield of "Two's Moon", indicating that
the two Moons in reality are one.
