Boriopan Star

The Boriopan Star; Ez: Jevelschay vi Boriopa; is an Easwegian national symbol describing an eight ray star surrounding a full moon. Traditionally representing a union of the ancient Gods Boreas and Surya, the symbol was originally used by the Ezaari to represent the northern Elëcska 'development' which they aspired to travel from the Eurasian Steppe towards. Today, it is commonly used in Easwegian iconography to represent justice and defence and is one of the major symbols of the state alongside the Ouroboros, the latter also representing the people.

History and Interpretations

The Boriopan Star denotes the Easwegian state and compliments the Ouroboros which represents the Easwegian people as a whole. It was first used by the Alano-Ezaari tribe of the Khazar Khaganate, respecting their unity in managing the state in service of its Khagan. The symbol likely takes inspiration from the Dharmic swastika, which was used by cultures in the Indus Valley during the Ezaari's inhibitance there.^[1]

Following the dissolution of the Khazar state in the 10th century, the Boriopan Star remained in use by the Ezaari and especially their leading shamans in the decades long journey towards a supposed Hyperborea, or spiritual homeland in the north. Inspired by ancient Greek mythology, this heavily influenced Ezaari and later Easwegian statehood and led to the establishment of the Easwegian Commonwealth as a constituent of the Novgorod Republic in the late 12th century.

The Boriopan Star is the official symbol of the Celestial Easwegianist syncretic faith, whereby the symbol represents the unity of the Greek north winds God Boreas and the Dharmic sun God Surya. Boreas is generally depicted as representing strength and authority, whereas Surya is depicted as representing warmth and joy. Due to their Earthly presence as wind and the sun, they are considered physical beings and thus representative of the authority of the state, explaining its common use in the Easwegian National Guard.

In Christian Easwegianist circles, the Boriopan Star is coupled with the Ouroboros to form a representation of the Holy Trinity, whereby Boreas is the Father, Surya is the Son and the Ouroboros is the Holy Sprit.
