Despite its profound original significance, the Mystery of the Labyrinth, particularly its initiatic sign Tirodinguiburr, has suffered permanent cultural degradation and deformation since its institution. This degradation was actively pursued by the enemies of the Spirit, including the agents of Chang Shambhala and the Universal Synarchy. Their strategy involves deforming the Virya's Sacred Symbol and changing its meaning to render it inoperative and create widespread confusion. This plan is aimed particularly at lost Viryas who are naturally receptive to the true meaning of the sign.
As a result of this conspiracy, numerous derived forms of the exterior labyrinth sign exist, which are morphological deformations of Wotan's original labyrinth. These deformations correspond directly to a modification of the metaphysical truth represented by the symbol. Degraded labyrinths often lose key features, such as the central space and the Odal rune, preventing them from facilitating the crucial Ego isolation principle required for liberation. Mandalas, for instance, are presented as symbols that do not lead to spiritual liberation but rather increase enchainment by trapping the Ego in the center of a psychic structure. These degraded symbols are, in essence, masks of the Demiurge and His representatives, attempting to prevent the liberation of the enchained Ego.
