What is this symbol?

Post by Occultess »

Does anyone know what symbol this is? I drew it two different ways, because i can't quite remember if it has two infinity looking symbols at the bottom or just one. There was something above the infinity looking symbols, but I can't remember how that part went. Whatever it was was all up and down the stick part. I also didn't draw this very well, so please forgive it being disproportionate. I know I've seen it around somewhere, but I don't know the name, so I couldn't google it properly. Thanks!

Not sure. It seems like there were more thingies on the stick part and, for sure, the figure 8 part was thinner, but....then, at some point after looking at your answer to me the other day, I watched those videos in the "Visionary Art" thread and the symbol you posted was in one of the videos. So, then that got me thinking that it could have been one of those syncronisity things, and maybe that really is the symbol I saw.

I'm sorry if my comment seems off-topic: The first symbol represent stirer/agitator in chemical engineering. Outside that I will say I'm [confused] !

Could it be the church of satan symbol? http://omegatimes.com/article.php?intid=869 (paranoic christian website alert XDD)
If it is, I guess you would have to find out where they took it from, if that's what they did.
I don't see myself as the one who desperately sought to get satisfaction from this reality, but as the one who desperately sought to differentiate himself from the desires that make up his standard of life, that has originated spontaneously from contacts. Reality is not deficient, only complex; and the knowledge of dying cures the decease it also brings.

It's the Alchemical symbol for sulphur. I still haven't quite decided if that is what I saw or not. It was certainly similar. It just seems like it had more branches sticking out from the stems. Like maybe 4 or 5 somewhat short branches on each side. That's the part I really couldn't remember very well.

Thanks for your help [happy2]

And welcome! (I don't remember seeing your name around here before, so I'm assuming you're new)

I think I've seen this too,but I'm not sure if it's still sulphur [perhaps with some other alchemical notation meant by the extra bars?] or if it denotes something else.

I'll look around again,I was investigating cross symbols and I may have spotted summat similar,but my memory is failing me,atm.I'll go look.

Ha hah, I made you repeat all that has already been posted :B well, you're welcome :) And thank you :D If I see something I'll let you know. I don't know if you're into that stuff, but maybe a sigil could help you with this, I don't know.
See you around.
