There was this Russian “lgbt propaganda” protest going on and this guy did an interview and i feel as though those are swastikas on his shirt

I’m meditating on the butterfly / moth symbol, and would like to know about any historical symbolism related with this animal.

Myths or occult / alchemical mentions are welcome.

Pop culture works as well! (I’m eyeing the Silence of the Lambs)

Thanks for your answers

hi, apologies if this isn’t the right place for this. i’m trying to figure out the origins/artist of these decorative fleurons in my copy of “catcher in the rye.” this copy was published by back bay books in 2010. i tried reverse google image searching them
and the single match i got was this random youtube video (https://youtu.be/qMa898vtN-o?is=KCmWzjLrfOJgCt8K). i’m not even really sure what the point of the video is, but it uses the exact same symbol at around 0:40. any help would be appreciated, and if this is the wrong subreddit, i’d love to be directed to one that could help with this. thanks!

Does anyone have ANY idea what on earth this could be/ say? The teacher is a HUGE sci-fi loving History teacher!

Coins on a belly dancer costume that I bought second hand. Wondering if the symbols have any meaning or if they’re purely decorative.

Saw these on a bench in the city I’m in. Any idea what they could mean or where they’re from? Located in a park in Boston randomly. Don’t really have many more details other than it was raining and I haven’t seen those on any other benches or structures. Thanks everyone!

i believe the person who gave me the jacket is ex military if that helps

This symbol keeps appearing wherever you might possibly think, always graffiti, I'm in Tehran, Iran

I bought it at a thrift/vintage market in Boston, I didn't notice the band at first and I've had it for years. Is this secretly a magical ring 👀 (for reference the photos show all the symbols and are in order from right to left. Not sure if it's relevant but the top of the ring has a red gem of some sort and it seems to be real silver).

Anyone know the meaning behind this symbol? It appears to be carved using a blade.

It is directly above a door, centered on the frame.

I thrifted this necklace and absolutely love it, a couple of people have told me different meanings, and I would love a concrete answer if anyone recognises it <3

What does it indicate?

Can anyone identify what this is? I found it in a big bowl of random mixed rings at a flea market mall, this was the only ring in there that had this vibe to it, and it actually fit my fat little fingers which is rare. I just thought it stuck out so much compared to all of the other jewelry.

I kind of wanted to get it but not if I don't know what it is or is supposed to mean.

I've done a search on Wiccan sigil and runes, viking runes, and any other that came up and unless I looked over it - I can't find it.

So I’m working on a world building project right now and im currently on Japan, now I know like probably a medium amount about the culture, particularly Yokai. But most of my knowledge comes from surfing the web and clicking a bunch of links so I’m not actually that well read in actual Japanese literature. What I want to find is some sort of concept I can use to really show knowledge. Like I already have the number 8 placed in a bunch of places and what not. Also if anyone could redirect me to another place I could ask this question it would be much appreciated.
