A subreddit for the discussion, identification, and appreciation of symbols!
Please be aware: this is a small sub with high commenting standards! Posts may take a while to get an answer, and some may remain a mystery.
Posts/Comments with: identifying information, slurs, hate speech, trolling, Nazi apologia, alt-right rhetoric, harassment or undue aggression will result in removal and/or permanent bans.
Submissions should use appropriate flair, provide as much context as possible, and must contain a clear image.
Use the [Interpretation] flair for posts about general or subjective symbolism.
Use the [Identification] flair for symbols presumed to have historical documentation with objective meanings.
Due to common misinformation (thanks, Pinterest) and naturally occurring similarities between symbol systems, top-level comments on [Identification] posts must provide a link to a source.
(Abuse of this system to skirt the rule may result in a ban. We have high commenting standards, please respect them!)
Stay on topic. If you cannot identify a symbol, move on. If you have corrections or suggestions, be constructive and polite. ("Just google it" is not a helpful suggestion.) Do not harass OPs for posting, for asking if something is a hate symbol, or for not already knowing about a symbol that you consider obvious.

On the underside of my mattress and box spring. Have I been hexed?
I just woke up to this tag on my door, do you guys think I should be worried about a potential robbery?
It also says “awaken tricking” on the front.
Found this in a flea market in Arkansas. The man might be carrying a pickaxe? I suppose maybe it's a cross? I can't seem to find anything similar. Any ideas what I represents or it's origin?
Saw this is traffic. Couldn’t find anything online. Any ideas?? Tried dexify to no avail… sideways infinity symbol with an imbedded V. Must be something current I’m guessing.

Google identified it as the Kanji character for 'Not' but this doesn't seem quite right. Any ideas?
My friend visited her local library, happened to pick up this book and the page she chose to open it on, there was this piece of paper with this sigil written on it. She's concerned she could be cursed 😅 im sure she won't be but we are very much intrigued to know what it means if anyone is able to identify and explain 😊
Hello, I was referred to a striping company for prospective employment and found this photo on their website. Any ideas? I've never seen anything resembling this pattern. Thanks!
I found this on the lamp post I parked next to in my Southern USA Kroger parking lot. Using Google Lens to reverse search the image only gave me one exact match. The match was another Reddit post from Seoul, Korea, asking what the sticker means. Any ideas?
Keys of St. Peter or something else entirely?
I recently purchased this sweater at a thrift store and am curious what the symbols on it represent and what culture they might originate from. There are three of the sort of serpent designs, diamond rune-esque designs around the entire body, and three horses. Anything helps. TIA!
