More on Nanamagari...

The defilement resembles Nanamagari because it's 'the being that exists in the furthest depths of the chaos.' 

It's seen on the animals very clearly.

But why?

Why is the Seethe image of the priest sacrificing the Maiden the image that exists in the deepest pits of chaos?

Soh's Spirit Stone in its belly

The belly as a crevice

Why is the symbol of the Goddess showing 8 lines? Was it predicted that 8 cycles was needed?

I doubt the symbol changed with every cycle. That would be strange.

I'm questioning everything again because of an observation I made regarding the Goddess Soh becomes.
It's an already existing one and it's the one Yoshiro is acting as.
