I've often thought about the symbol of the double-bladed axe in mythology, be it emplaced at the Minoan palace of Knossos, in the hand of the Yoruba Orisha - King Shango, or in the possession of Paul Bunyan. To me, it symbolizes thunder and lightning but that I admit, is purely intuitive. Here's a dream-image that surfaced, using the symbol in a situation that leaves much to one's imagination. I think Carl Jung would've liked it.
