euripides Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 Can anyone point me to a resource that includes the sigils on this card? I've had a bit of an internet search, and while I've found various planetary and alchemical symbols that seem somewhat similar, nothing that has these specifically. Thanks! (it's the one on the light green door I'm particularly interested in, though I assume they're all from the same source). I wonder if the artist has invented their own variations? The guidebook doesn't provide any interpretation to them. (The deck has a very general fairytale theme and seems to draw freely on a range of traditions). Mods, wasn't sure where to ask this, apologies if it's the wrong subforum.
DanielJUK Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 You have stumped us @euripides we can think of no better place, so it's fine here 🙂 🤣 If anyone ever makes a study group for the deck, we will move it there. I don't recognise the symbols I am afraid and tried to search for them on google image search and it couldn't recognise the symbol on that door.
euripides Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 They look most like alchemical symbols, though I can't find them. I thought maybe script versions of runes, but nothing seems to quite match. I even looked at Elvish. I wonder if the artist and author are being deliberately obtuse - there's something going on here, some kind of secret knowledge, that we're not party to until we open the door.
fire cat pickles Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 I found this Pinterest page with all kinds of symbols: https://pin.it/7pqRq5p Tread carefully.
euripides Posted July 21, 2022 Author Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) oh! The light green door is like the Theban H. Theban alphabet - Wikipedia The middle-right pine green one is like man/ Mannaz rune, though with variations Runes - Wikipedia this is a cool list https://www.pinterest.com.au/pin/23643966785737504/ Edited July 21, 2022 by euripides
fire cat pickles Posted July 21, 2022 Posted July 21, 2022 I think I found some of them here: https://pin.it/3swtoOn Lower right hand corner: Spirit The middle one looks like Death or Family?

Wyrdkiss Posted July 23, 2022 Posted July 23, 2022 As if I couldn't like this deck any more, and boom -- here we are. How rad it is to discover these little tidbits of significance.
Yola Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 How great! I was going to create this topic right now! 🤭 The three triangular points on the middle door catch my attention! Don't you remember that mathematical symbol "therefore", "because"? The trinity?
