Classical Labyrinth
I am referring to the round seven circuit labyrinth, which design has been historically recorded in many Indo-European cultures. It is not actually a labyrinth, but the plan of a prehistoric Indo-European city. It causes feelings of love for one’s society, and for children, as well as the platonic desire to produce them. It is not a spiritual symbol, but merely something that reminds you of your origins.
Animals
All animals can be used as symbols to imbue characteristics related to the animal.
Fasces
Lawfulness, Orderliness, and Respect for Authority.
The Horned God Symbol
Referring to the abstract symbol in Wicca, which we are adopting. .Represents wild insubordination.
Caduceus
The caduceus is my symbol, and is also something I possess. It signifies everything that I do, including trade, printing, safe travel, ability to steal, and so on.
Rod of Asclepius
Healing, Health.
Dragon
Fierceness.
Skull
Death, Killing, Self Sacrifice.
The Circle
The symbol of a large white circle on a black background clears the mind and increases simplicity of decision making and calmness.
Symbols Of Christ
The symbols of Christ are the crucifix, the crucifix with Christ, the chi rho symbol, and the ichthys. The crucifix represents Christianity and, to the Templist, Wotan’s secret influence over it. The chi rho symbol is a battle symbol that Wotan has imbued with war fighting efficiency, which symbol he bequeaths to all. Balder says the ichthys symbol increases devotion to Wotan, or to his assumed role of God, and to the sanctity of his royal blood that is within all Germanic peoples and especially within their nobility. I don’t think it actually does anything.
The Gears Symbol
The symbol of two diagonally oriented interlocking gears, sloped from left to right, enclosed within a circle of interlocked gears, increases ingenuity and organizational ability.
The Hook-Tree Symbol
The hook-tree symbol resembles an “X” where the top edges are brought closer to the bottom edges, and the tips of the edges are curved downwards with a pointed edge. It may look like two crescents crossed. The singular end of a “yr rune” is attached to the center of the “X”. It signifies balance and fosters growth and improvement. Apollo has just created it.
Symbolism Principles
Body Parts
The symbol of any body part that you can distinctively “feel”, like an arm, a leg, a digestive system, or a heart (but not like a brain, a liver, a kidney, etc) will slightly increase blood flow to that part of the body and so improve its function, and also its healing. Unless increased blood flow is detrimental to a certain ailment, in which case it will make it worse.
Without symbols, blood flow can be increased to any part of the body by focusing on that body part, or on the general region of an organ if that organ cannot be distinctively felt.
Kiki And Bouba
Related to the above: the human mind is geared to make intuitive associations between certain concepts, even if the reason for the association is not apparent. This is why humans naturally associate spiked shapes with the name “Kiki” rather than “Bouba”, and vice versa for rounded shapes. It is why humans associate darkness with vice, and light with virtue. Employ this principle when making symbols. It is important that temples employ this principle, among others, so as not adopt an ambience that makes the religion seem like something it is not supposed to be.
Space
When doing magic, it is necessary to visualize space. Space cannot truly be visualized, so a proxy is needed that “represents” space. The human mind usually understands such things as pure whiteness or abstract flowing light to be space, though it is also possible to imagine “clearness” in relation to opaque objects.
Gods
Idols of gods represent the things for which the gods are responsible. This is why it is desirable to have idols when one prays. It will also enhance your ability to feel our presence.
Exclusive Symbols
Hammer or Club
The hammer of Thor, club of Hercules, axe of Perun, Ukonvasara, and axe of Perkunas, signify protection, safety, strength, and the will to fight against degeneracy. They are all exclusive to their respective pantheons.
Valknut
A Germanic symbol, which represents health and life. Given by Wotan.
Hands Of God
Also called Ręce Boga. It represents Perun himself and his supremacy, and it endears one to Perun. It is exclusively a Slavic symbol, given by Perun.
Ankh
Life, Longevity. It is exclusively an Egyptian symbol, given to Egyptian Templists by the Egyptian gods.
The Thunder Cross
Ability to Overcome Problems and Obstacles. Erroneously thought to be a swastika. It is exclusively a Baltic symbol.
The Spear-Hexagon Symbol
The spear-hexagon symbol is a set of pointed arrows that bind together to form a hexagonal shape, with the points facing outward. Behind the arrows there is a line that also forms a hexagon. .Inside the hexagon there is a small solid hexagon, and from each side of the small hexagon protrudes a line that connects to the side of the larger hexagon. It scares away enemies, or anyone, because it is quite unpleasant to look at - it was sent to us by Svetovid of the Slavic Pantheon, and included by the insistence of Perun. So here it is.
