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.

William,
VERY interesting indeed.
Ain't the Eights a clever lot?
They cloak their spokes well.
The Sam P image I thought was animated at first. But no, its just an illysion. When scrolling down fast it appears that something red moves from the right and left of the red line to the center.
When I scroll fast, the orange bleeds into the diagonal lines near the center, making it appear that there are two orange arrows pointing to the center -- kind of the opposite of the Star of Chaos, which has arrows pointing away from the center.
By the way, can you use a pseudonym so I know whether it's the same Anon from one comment to another?
