Known to the west as Whirling Dervishes, the members of the Mevlevi Order (named for their founder Mevlana) practice this Sufi ritual, which dates to the 13th century, which is full of symbolism.

This visual dhikr, which, upon seeing calligraphy, prevents one from oblivion and brings him back to the state of consciousness, is a symbolism of the movement of the cosmos and the planets, because, according to Sufi teaching, everything is in movement. In art, Muslims “developed a great love for the waw and used it from about 1700...
