Not every spiral triangle shape is the boylove logo. It existed in history for as long as humans have used decorations. I'll remain on the fence about this one. Worth looking into, I suppose, but I doubt anything would come of it.

Can you give some examples of spiral triangles which predate the Boy Lover symbol?

Spiral symbolism has deep Celtic roots and can be found on jewelry associated with the neolithic New Grange site in Ireland.

EDIT: The spirals are also carved onto the stone columns of New Grange.

This site is believed by some to show the process of egg fertilization in a stone triptych within a specifically designed chamber. IRELAND: LAND OF THE PHAROAHS would be a good reference. The spiral symbolizes "eternal life" IIRC, so that principle ties directly to spirit cooking.

I suspect many who may have these badges have them incidentally, following a general rule of "plausible deniability". That said, it is likely that there are those who do know the hidden meaning and are perhaps signalled as "safe" in certain enterprises and activities.

I would consider it something to look for but not something to base immediate action on.
