Are you picking up any interesting signs or feelings from this?

I dont want to give too much information to have genuine responses, but this crow head was found in the morning near my front door.

I will say, my indoor cat has been sneaking out and bringing a new friend home. It might have been a gift from the kitty friend? She has been "asking" us to adopt her. But is there any meaning to this? A crows head is kinda wild..

Found this patch in the road - trying to identify the symbol/origin and whether it’s military, occult, biker, or something else

My partner found this patch lying in the road and we’ve been trying to figure out what it represents. We’re posting here because this subreddit seems to have people who are good at identifying obscure symbols, insignias, patches, heraldry, military emblems, occult imagery, biker club iconography, and other niche symbology. It appears to be a sew-on patch-style embroidery.

No clue what it means.

Found on the doorpost of a shelter while wilderness hiking.

This was years ago but always struck me and my hiking buddy as very odd but also interesting as an inscription with my name was carved in the wood just on top of it, and i have an extremely unusual name in my country.

So unusual that ive only ever met one other person in my life with the same name, and people usually remark on it when they hear it the first time.

This was also in the absolute middle of nowhere and really hard to get to, not exactly a tourist spot.
We did spend the night there although we slept in a tent beside the shelter, and we had a great nights sleep if thats worth adding.

Edit: Mainly looking for info on the four symbols on top.

Anyone else interested in studying mystical symbols?

Hi everyone. :)

I'm a writer working on a mystical fantasy book that's highly symbolic in nature and so I've been researching different mystical symbols and how to use them in my book.

Is there anyone else here who has an interest in mystical symbols? Can you help me understand if the labelling and interpretation of the yin yang symbol above is accurate?

Also, if you're interested in connecting, please DM me. I'm trying to make more friends with similar interests.

Thanks and hope you have a great day!

Found this in Minneapolis, any idea of what this is?

All 3 are the same.

Edit: it must be the same fish from the environmental hazard symbol

What did this mean? I found it on top of my door frame.

Moved into a new apartment, and when I was cleaning up, I found this symbol. What does this mean?

I've decoded the Philosopher's Stone symbol, and it's unlocked a six-step formula that appears in Metatron's Cube, the I Ching, Yggdrasil, and more.

I've made a significant discovery in the realm of religious symbology, occult symbology, and alchemy.

I discovered that the Philosopher's Stone symbol in alchemy is actually encoding a six-step abstract formula for transmutation. After I decoded the symbol, I started using it as a sort of lens to interpret other religious symbologies such as Metatron's Cube, the Flower of Life, the Seal of Solomon, the hexagrams of the I Ching, and even Yggdrasil the World Tree from Norse cosmology. I found that the formula's six steps fit snugly within those other symbols.

For instance, when drawing the Seal of Solomon with geometric tools, you follow those six steps in its construction. When using the Philosopher's Stone as a lens to interpret Yggdrasil, the six steps find their representations in the animals that inhabit the tree within that cosmology.

In my hunt, it has acted as a connecting bridge, a Rosetta Stone, for ancient symbology. It all centers around the number six, squares, cubes, and hexagons. Once you understand the symbolism, they all come to mean the same thing, just in different forms. For example, a cube is a 3D version of a square, and a hexagon is the outline of a cube. So within that symbology, all three of those symbols mean the same thing.

I've been slowly compiling all of my work into a book, which is available for free. I also made it into a video lecture and some brief short slideshows on TikTok in an effort to spread the knowledge and possibly learn more about it.

I'm posting it here today, inviting you to join me in the hunt. I'm hoping we can pool our knowledge and further reclaim some of humanity's lost history, and perhaps even find a common ground within symbolism that would help unite all the world's religions. I'm not looking for fame and I'm not selling anything, I prefer to leave my identity anonymous. To put it quite simply, I just want to know. I want to know the truth.

I can tell you for a fact that this common ground exists within those symbols. The evidence I've compiled more than proves it. So if you find yourself curious, if like myself you're interested in the truth of humanities clouded history. If esoteric and occult secrets interest you, join me, learn about philosopher Stone, become a seeker. I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts, critiques, or any patterns you notice that I might have missed.

Symbol i had in a dream. Any relation to something that exists?

Does this symbol mean anything? In this orientation or others?

This is a symbol im planning to use in a work of fiction but if it is similar to or could be mistaken for a real-life symbol with real meaning I wouldn't use it. I know the crescent facing left with a star instead of circle is associated with Islam but would this have made you think of that unprompted?

Its supposed to be symmetrical but its slightly off due to my poor drawing on mobile skills.

Thanks for your help!

I got this ring at a flea market and been wondering what is and/or what does it mean or if it’s just simply nothing

What are these pins? Was given them by my grandmother.

Got gifted these by my grandmother, she didn't know where they were from. The red one has "NG. Slater Corp, NYC 11" on the side, which seems to be a company that makes custom pins. The white one has nothing on the sides. Thank you!

Is this a swastika tattoo on this guys ankle? Kinda looks like one with a long bottom and middle missing.

Not sure if the other nearby tattoos add a context or something, but it definitely seemed suspect to me.

Has anyone seen a symbol similar to this one? Any help would be appreciated

Hello all! Does anyone have any clue what this symbol could mean? Is there any symbol similar to it? I mean maybe I’m losing my mind, but it looks familiar to me. Any help would be great

u/Eastern_Wrongdoer_90 — 5 days ago

Found this weird symbol under a bridge. Not sure what it is. Whenever I try to use Google lens to translate the sentence it gives me different results each time. I have a feeling its latin. I've been researching this all morning and nothing.

Anyone know what this object under Venus is in Virgil Solis’s planetary engravings?

Does anyone know what the object under Venus is in Virgil Solis’s Personifications of the Seven Planets (Die Tag der VIII Planete) engravings? I thought it looked like a pair of dividers/proportional compasses because of the hinge and pointed legs, but I can’t tell if it’s supposed to symbolize something else. The Libra glyph is right above it which threw me off. Curious if anyone here knows Renaissance astrology/iconography stuff and it driving me up a wall that I am kinda sure but not 100%

Is there something actually occult/disturbing behind these symbols, or is it just "edgy" art? (TikTok: @1gallonofmilk)

I need help debunking or understanding this. I found a TikTok video that feels incredibly 'wrong' and disturbing. It shows a shifting, Rorschach-like entity in the middle and various white sigils at the bottom.

I want to know: Are these symbols tied to any real occult practices or 'dark' history, or are they just random designs meant to scare people?

Especially the entity in the middle—is it based on any specific religious or occult imagery (like 'biblically accurate angels'), or is it just a digital glitch effect? The video also has commands like 'do not look away' and mentions 'ingesting numbers through intestines.'

I’m trying to figure out if there's an actual 'dark' intent behind this or if I’m just overthinking a well-made horror edit. Any insight into the sigils or the central figure would be greatly appreciated."

PLEASE help… graffiti, islandic type rune or tribal/latinamerican art?

Been obsessing on this piece here, looking life a flower/snowflake/sun. I hypothesized runes, then a fella said to me that it reminded him of the Nazca lines, tbh i was shocked from the similarity, but nothing close. Then went to Brazilian and south american tribal art, lots and lots of similar symbols. I then fell into this massive “lost media” kinda rabbit hole… i searched for literal hours on my toilet going from fuckin esotherism to ancient cultures. PLEASE help me i won’t sleep as long as i don’t figure this fucka out
(I edited the first photo with more contrast for better identification)
