Same amount of "loops"; starting and ending points line up. With all the repeating symbols, at some point there has to be acceptance of the reality this is ritualistic. Eating food, watching TV or movies, wearing certain brands, buying from certain retail stores etc could make a person an unwilling participant in some ritual. Maybe there's something to praying over our food and items brought into our homes and lives, to call off any negative or harmful intent that may be attached!
