What does the spiral mean in Game of Thrones? Why is the Night King plastering it everywhere? We now have an official answer that is more than just a fan theory.
There are a lot of fan theories currently flying around ahead of these final episodes of, especially in the wake of many long-running ones proving to be true like Jon’s secret parentage and claim to the throne. One mystery that reappeared last week was of the White Walker’s spiral symbol, this time a series of limbs with an undead child stuck in the middle, and the entire thing was set on fire by Berric’s sword in one of the most terrifying moments of the show in quite a while.
We have seen this spiral symbol, and one or two others, before. Many times, in fact. The White Walkers have made symbols out of bodies previously, and we have seen the spiral in a key flashback, the one where the Children of the Forest sacrificed a man in some sort of pagan ritual at a tree, a man who became a White Walker. Around the tree was the spiral pattern, made up of stones.
But there is no more need to theorize, and we have arrived at an actual answer for this question. I’m not just talking about a really good fan idea that sounds correct, I’m talking about the guy who wrote the premiere and put the flaming spiral in it explaining outright what it means. Here’s“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.
I was actually surprised to see Hill explain it so straightforwardly, as getting answers to lingering questions fromcast or crew is almost impossible, so I think this may not be some super essential mystery to the story that fans wanted it to be. It’s just the Night King’s way of intimidating people and blaspheming the Children who he hates. And past that, I’m not sure we’re going to extract a deeper meaning out of this, nor do we really need to.
Now onto the larger quest, is the Night King some random monster, or does he have a secret identity we need to be unearthing?
