Santa's Hat
Sporting the red cap

With limited capacity, mankind strives to understand the context in which a symbol is seen. They translate natural and social symbols with illusions and re-evolving imagining. The watcher of what is invisible observes waves ripple and sees patterns of the tide. They see a truth in established traditions from which we can no longer hide.
Examine the nonconventional redcap of Santa’s lore. It was first worn by many a goddess of creation, wisdom, weaving, and war . Neith donned a red cap the toshr or pshent,

as did Pharaoh Deshret. It’s long back offered protection from the sun and it was also worn by Osiris’ Wadjet.

Athena wore a conical hat, pointed side up, and opening down.

This reverse cone was also worn by the foolish court jester clown. The red thread of fate later was woven into a thinking cap funneling knowledge, then it became a Dunce’s cap, to symbolize all things wrong with fools in society, even at college.

The foolscap describes the size of paper often used to write exams upon. Those who evaluated, made the condemned wear red caroza capirotes, during the Inquisition.

A winged Phrygian Pilos cap, given to Perseus, was the Cap of Invisibility, called the Cap of Hades.

During the American and French revolutions,

it symbolized freedom, originally Romans gave it to freed slaves. A redcap indicated craftsmen and often religion or status. It identifies Templar, Freemason and Christian commanders, in a glance gratis.

Redcaps are worn by benevolent Dutch goblin Kabouters

and French hobgoblin Lutins.

They are seen on malevolent mischievous goblins along English Scottish borders,

and Irish clurichauns.

Wise Weizza Buddhist alchemists wearing a red cap, had supernatural powers.

They flew in the air, walked on water and went through the Earth in just a few hours. The Weizza have divine eyes and ears , with multiple bodies they travel in different spheres.

The red hat holds a message not exactly clear, it can offer freedom or something we should fear. The colour red is associated with life, health, courage and victory, as well as aggression, destruction and evil, throughout history.

Be what may, let the nostalgia of this season fill you when you see Santa’s red chapeau . The photonic signal creates a loosely defined phononic echo. The blood's fibre optic pulses will ring clear in the brain’s time crystal. Embrace the power of Santa's red hat and do not bristle. Put on a red cap, feel the warmth of traditions of le bonnet rouge that speak to the heart . If you channel joy, kindness, and the generous, caring spirit of Saint Nick, it should make you look smart.
