The symbolism of the circle is the perfection and the image of authority.

For example, the ring worn by Christian bishops represents the highest ecclesiastical authority, while for others it is a symbol of spiritual control. The most famous image of the ring is the ring of King Solomon with a magical seal that gave him power over the jinn (demons). The rings are amulets of power, strength, divinity, independence and security. According to legend, they are also magical talismans and help those who wear them, giving them the supernatural properties, such as to become invisible. The origin of the magic rings is unknown, but they have already appeared in ancient mythology.

Marduk, the chief god of Babylon, is depicted as a warrior, holding a magic ring, Heracles in Greek mythology, Prometheus freed from the chains of Titan, wearing a ring on his finger. Legendary King Solomon had a magic ring, which was affected by a hexagram with the current name of God and Solomon was able to call jinns (demons) and make them work for him. Asmodeus convinced Solomon to lend him the magic ring, leading him to Jerusalem, and becoming the king. Then he threw the ring into the sea. But Solomon took up the ring and restored his reign on the throne. Demon Asmodeus had been locked in a pitcher. The ancient Egyptians and Jews said magic words or phrases on the rings.

The signet ring is even today a symbol of authority in the church and in the state.

The ring also represents the way of defense, protection, control and dependency. In ancient culture the ring was gifted with the ability to bind the connection between mind and body. The ring is a symbol of integrity, unity, and constraint (especially marriage). Prometheus, according to the will of Zeus, was chained to the rock in the Caucasus, after his release, Heracles wore a ring with fragments of rock as a sign of respect for the divine commandments, but also as a warning.

In the Middle Ages the rings engraved with magic formulas were amulets of the people against disease. In England in the early Middle Ages and until the sixteenth century "strange rings" were popular in the treatment of epilepsy and disorders. Rings, decorated with precious and semiprecious stones, are amulets that have particular characteristics of stones. For example, red jasper is associated with blood. In ancient times the soldiers wore a ring with red jasper to avoid the death and loss of blood due to injury. Many modern witches wear silver rings engraved with runic inscriptions, names of deities, a five-pointed star, the crescent moon, the image of the Goddess, or other symbols linked to witchcraft.

Relationship among living beings

All living beings, from man, who is at the top of the pyramid, to the lowest worm, use benefits and take advantage of the weapons of offense and defense. All are suitable for shape and structure of their environment and their way of life.

From the polar regions to the torrid ones, from forests to aquatic lands, and coastal marshland, in every environment animals and plants help, oppose and cross each other that may appear to be confused but instead it is harmonious and chosen.

The struggle to find the food, to defend against opponents of the same species or different species, to win heat, cold, humidity, drought, mists, the fight to live and survive in the environment necessarily leads to know the methods and weapons used for not to succumb and disappear.

The methods of struggle – It is unlikely that living beings live completely isolated because not only the desire for life in common is widespread but also because it is known that unity is strength.

Flocks and herds - The forest is more resistant to battle the wind than an isolated plant; the herds of cattle, herds of horses, flocks of birds, schools of fish can struggle for existence with better chance.

Societies – Insect societies assume the highest forms of associations.

The individual components not only help each other but divide the work specializing each in a specific task; it is in the case of bees, ants, termites.

Colonies - Sometimes groups of individuals of the same species, united with continuity of tissues and circulating liquids, form their own groupings, building real territories, such as coral islands.

Symbiosis – The fact that individuals of the same species can be united together to help each other is a natural thing, but that individuals of different species or even of animals and plants come together so closely that they cannot live without the other may seem unusual.

The unusual fact is more apparent than real if you think that a blind and a deaf may help each other very well, the same is with a plant, inept to live, as the alga without water and minerals that are essential for life, unites the fungus, full of stickers but devoid of chlorophyll, in order to live together.

Their intimate union gives birth to a new organism: lichen.

When the common life brings benefit to both (in the case of lichen) it is symbiosis, and when one is benefited and other is harmed, the union is called parasitism.

Symbiosis among plants and animals - Some plants (lime tree and certain types of oak trees) offer hospitality and nourishment on their leaves to certain mites to exploit. They suck the juice from which they come.

Symbiosis among animals – It is curious the union of the hermit crab (a shrimp from the soft and helpless abdomen) with the sea anemone.

The hermit crab protects its abdomen sticking it to the empty shell of a mollusk and defends by attaching to the sea anemone. As the crab moves about in search of food the anemone is brought into contact with a greater supply of food and the crab is protected by the anemone’s stinging sells.

Parasitism - More frequent and also more complex is the parasitism which is an adaptation acquired from living species.

This phenomenon is widespread and various. There are many complicated ways in which it occurs.

When a parasite chose its victim from which to draw food not only abandons it but ends up, even to the law of non-use to transform its organs keeping only well developed: those of fixation, absorption and reproduction.

It appears that the parasites are invaded by an overwhelming need to procreate children as if a dark omen warns them that the means of defense and the reactions of the body to which they are attached may one day destroy their species.

Who can enumerate the amount of parasites that exist in nature?

In general they are grouped into the small species that constitute the world of microorganisms.

There are external and internal parasites.

External parasites live outside the host body as louse, mite, etc. And internal parasites live inside the body of the host.

Among parasites there are various species in both the plant and animal worlds.

It is important to know their life cycle in order to preserve the hosts from their attacks.

Human parasites – There are many human parasites. The most frightening among them is protozoa.

It is the parasite that causes malaria that is established in red blood cells and it is reproduced by multiple division.

The tertian (every 48 hours) and quartan fevers (every 72 hours) are due to the exclusion of plasmodia that continues to infect other red blood cells.

Plant parasites – Cuscuta (dodder) is a typical example of a plant parasite.

Its body reduced to a highly branched filament clings around the branches and leaves of the victims. The dodder produces haustoria that insert themselves into the vascular system of the host sucking its sap.

The study of parasites has great importance because it allows us to preserve plants and animals from terrible consequences.

It is important to note that dirt, filth and neglect of a person are the best allies of the parasites.
