My book Occult Mead (2025) features my break through essay—“Wewelsburg’s So-Called ‘Black Sun’ is Really Himmler’s Round Table and Grail”—in which I present the best case that has ever been made (and possibly the best case that ever could be made) for seeing that infamous sun wheel as an iconic depiction of King Arthur’s Round Table.
For the cover of the book and some of the inside images of that icon, which I now call the Round Table Sun Wheel, I’ve made my first foray into the wonderful world of the Creative Commons movement. Creative works under its particular licenses may be freely shared and adapted. And the iconic version of the sun wheel made is an adaptation of the following:

My versions simply add a core and change the colors. And here are those three versions of the Round Table Sun Wheel icon that I have used in my book. Naturally, they are also available under the same CC BY-SA 4.0 license:
- Black and White Version. The simplest color scheme that captures the essential proportions and details.
- Castle Floor Version. This one is the book cover image, and meant to emphasize the green that’s actually seen on the floor of Wewelsburg, and depict it with the legendary gold disc at the core.
- Jewelry Version. This one is a predominantly gold/yellow version, like the manuscript illuminations that are meant to be five- or six-spoked wheels depicting the Round Table.
Here is a zip file with the three versions, in svg, pdf, and png: RoundTableSunWheels.zip
That’s all for this page for now. I’m sure some were hoping to read more, and I may eventually expand it. But in the early part of this book launch, I wanted to at least get the graphics files up first.
