[R]evolution

evolution
ORIGIN early 17th cent.: from Latin evolutio(n-) 'unrolling,' from the verb evolvere (see evolve ). Early senses related to physical movement, first recorded in describing a tactical "wheeling" maneuver in the realignment of troops or ships. Current senses stem from a notion of "opening out" and "unfolding," giving rise to a general sense of [development.]

revolution
ORIGIN late Middle English : from Old French, or from late Latin revolutio(n-), from revolvere 'roll back' (see revolve).

revolve
ORIGIN late Middle English (in the senses [turn (the eyes) back,] [restore,] [consider] ): from Latin revolvere, from re- 'back' (also expressing intensive force) + volvere 'roll.'

Abe's Axe is a symbol. Like the firey wand of Hermes, it is the conduit for bringing into action manifestations from the creative imagination. He is not killing vampires so much as freeing living dead men. The great emancipator would like to bring you into the 4th dimension of consciousness. He is going to have to kill you to do this, though. Or, actually, just annihilate your ego to transport you. In this instance, his axe is the craft. A craft is both a transport and a skill. The magician's wand is both. A pen can be mightier than the sword. What's your craft? Use your symbol well. . .
