Signs and Symbols

List Symbols that have resonance for you. What do they represent for you?  from 'Dark Mirror: The Inner Work of Witchcraft' by Yvonne Aburrow

One of the first sets of signs and symbols I related to were animals.

Cardinals: Grandmother

Blue Jay: Grandfather

Heron: Big transformation on the way. Pay attention.

Crow/Raven: The Morrigan, Family

Wolf: Maiden

Bear: Mother

Owl: Crone

Dogs: Hecate

Lion: Strength, Sekhmet

Cow: Hathor

Dragonfly: Spirit Guides

Stag: God

Betta Fish: Treasure, Evolution

Then I became more familiar with crystals. These are some of the top ones I work with regularly.

Amethyst: Spirit connection, peace, crown chakra

Labradorite: Psychic skills

Citrine: Joy, solar plexus chakra

Carnelian: Creativity, sacral chakra

Sodalite: Communication, throat chakra

Angelite: Spirit connection with guides

Fluorite: Mental focus

Selenite: Cleansing and charging

Bloodstone: Aries, vitality, health

Clear Quartz: Amplifier

Malachite: Luck (mine has lines that look like a four leaf clover)

As I have practiced, I also identify with these written symbols.

Earth Sign: Earth element, I remember it by thinking of an arrow pointing down and the line is like the ground because there is still matter under the land's surface.

Triple Moon: Maiden, Mother, Crone

Air Sign: Air Element, Air is pointing above and the line could be clouds over a mountain...or the split between land and sky.

Triple Spiral: Life, Death, Rebirth

Pentacle: Protection

Hecate's Wheel: Fate, Labyrinth

Fire Sign: Fire Element, the basic triangle looks like a campfire to me

Horned God Symbol: Horned God energy

Water Sign: Water element, the upside down triangle is like a goblet, cone that water can be held in.

I am sure I will encounter many other infinite correspondences! These are the main ones that got me started on my path. I will be covering others related to specific aspects of witchcraft and divination in future posts!

What are some of the symbols you resonate and what meaning to they hold for you?
