What was the meaning of this message?
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
In S08E01 of Game of Thrones, we see this message:
We have seen this several times, the symbol drawn with horse heads, the stones around the weirwood where white walkers are created and in some caves, drawn by Children of the Forest.
Do we know the meaning behind this symbol? Does it or something similar occur in the books as well?
Related. Apologies if duplicate.

TLDR: The white walkers copy it from the Children of the Forest, but we don't know their exact signification
movie.stackexchange answer already cover quite well the topic. This symbol is a common pattern amongst White Walkers, but also Children of the Forest
According to David Benioff, we don't know the meaning of this spiral symbol
One of the things we learn from these cave paintings is that the White Walkers didn't come up with those images. They derived them from their creators, the Children of the forest. These are patterns that have mystical significance for the Children of the Forest. We're not sure exactly what they signify, but spiral patterns are important in a lot of different cultures in our world, and it makes sense that they would be in this world as well.
As for the books, as far as I remember, they are not present.
