The White Walkers have had a relation to mysterious symbols throughout Game of Thrones. Fans have been able to figure out the meanings of some throughout the years. Now, writer Dave Hill, who wrote the season eight premiere episode “Winterfell”, has come forward to help fans understand the White Walkers’ spiral pattern. Dave Hill revealed more about the mysterious spiral pattern by the White Walkers while speaking with Lauren Sarner from the New York Post. You can view his response below.
“As we saw with Bran and the Three-Eyed Raven, the spiral pattern was sacred to the Children of the Forest, who created the Night King by sacrificing a captured man in a spiral “henge of stones.” The Night King then adopted the symbol as a sort of blasphemy, like Satan with the upside-down cross.”
It appears that the White Walkers’ spiral symbol has a deeper meaning than some fans may have believed. The Night King adopted the mysterious spiral symbol after the Children of the Forest. It is interesting how Game of Thrones writer Dave Hill explains that the symbol is more of blasphemy related to that of Satan and the cross that is seen in various films. Game of Thrones has finally returned to HBO with its final season and the imagery seen in the episodes continues to be captivating.
