Ambrose and the eight-spoked wheel

The name "Ambrosia" appeared in the sync stream just yesterday. That same day, I left a comment for Debbie on "UH and Quaker Oats," linking to the "I ate the sandbox" Bert and Ernie sketch, and later I rewatched it myself. The animation leading up to the sketch is about the number eight, so it's no surprise that it includes both an octopus and a spider. Less expected was a brief shot of something eating a flower:

Then I noticed the logo for the channel:

The eight-spoked wheel, together with the letter P, made me think of the Chrismon of St. Ambrose, which I blogged about back in 2019, in "The staurogram, the eight-spoked wheel, and the Wheel of Fortune." As it happens, the Wheel of Fortune recently reentered the sync stream, in "Wheel of Fortune and a dying man's wish" (April 22). Ambrose is obviously similar to Ambrosia.

Clicking for a random /x/ thread today, I got one about "Witchtok," featuring a "demon named Ambrose."

The tweet is from someone called Chaotic Witch Aunt, and it accuses Ambrose of "causing chaos." The usual symbol of "chaos magic" -- the Star of Chaos -- is a link to both the eight-spoked wheel (Chrismon of Ambrose) and the black star.
