hey all, just back to share another bit of strangeness, this time gained through those odd little voices in the back of mine head, heheh.

anyway, so the other night, i was just sitting around, listening to my mate and his group of friends talking about card game,s when all of a sudden, i get this sort of conceptual image in my head. it was a circle, with four marks around the rings, inside smaller rings of their own. i have a picture of it, but for now, the story. anyway, the little voices up there started giving me a sort of urgent commanding whisper, like if any of you have seen a psychological horror or thriller, when they have that whispery effect for ghosts and such, where it devolves into spiritual chatter, that's kinda wha it was like. just dozens of thoughts racing "draw it, draw it out, draw it now". anywho, i'm not sure what the significance of it is, if anything, but here it is.

Whoa! Raz, I feel excited just looking at this. I'm glad you posted!

At first glance, I thought "What is this?" in a dismissive way I have towards things which are important. I made myself look again, and felt sort of a tension. Then, something went BOOM! in my mid/lower back, in a way that shook me but didn't hurt at all, and my eyes teared up. I feel kind of light and floaty now, in a really good way.

I still don't know what it is, but thank you for putting it up here!

Could you retrace it in pen, or something darker than pencil? I'm having trouble making out the symbols around the edge because it's faint and slightly blurry, and I'd really like to see the details of this.

Anyway, it seems important to me. The middle part makes me think of constellations. There is more to it, of course, but I can't quite put my finger on it yet.

Rather than leave anyone curious, I figured I'd toss this out.

Where I saw it was on T's chest. It was sort of a combination of a brand and tattoo. I believe it has or rather, had something to do with his rank, for lack of a better way to put it. I don't know if it's related to marks such as what could be given after a battle or if it was just a flat out marking related to his rank/station/assignment.

But the shape is the same, the ridged double circles of the outer edges, etc. The symbols are/were different, although I did recognize the overall shape.

I can try to find out more, but it may take me a day or two. I've been fighting pneumonia this week and the medicine I'm taking isn't doing me any favors as far as my mind being clear.

As soon as I can pay closer attention to it, I'll certainly see what I can come up with about it, though. I was amazed at how similar it was to what I had in my head of remembering what was marked on his chest. =)

Valthasar - Ooh! Fascinating!

The more I think about it, the more I feel like I should know this symbol, or have seen it or something like it before. Maybe I've even drawn something like it years ago... no idea where I'd find it though, if I had drawn it... I'll have to look through my old sketchbooks and notebooks.

While I don't get any real personal "recognition" from this, I have known for quite some time that there was some sort of symbol associated with the Grigori. On the chest over the heart comes to mind, but I have been told it can be different places. Specific memories are vague and related more to gut feelings, so while this particular symbol/sigil doesn't ring a bell with me, the overall concept and design does make sense. But I do agree that it is probably related to rank - probably your personal sigil, Raz. Very Happy

I have seen this carved into a wooden door......... or at least thats where I 'feel' I have seen it......... or something like it......... I know, I'm not being very helpful.


It feels like a sigil for power in some way...... which is probably why I can 'see' it carved into wood, and stamped onto leather........

Ah, my poor addled brain!

Well, I found a drawing that might have been what I was thinking of. But it's really sketchy, as though I wasn't really sure what I was writing, and thus couldn't focus on detail. It's kinda eh *shrug* But I'll put it up anyway.

When I think of a placing for a sigil, I keep thinking of my right shoulder.

Hmmmm...!...

...After seeing Ellysium's drawing too, to compare (yeah, it is sketchy, but it was also very powerful to see. i feel like I can see the energy in the drawing, of what it is), I want to say that they have to do with the Gateways in some way. A key.... In fact when I saw the first drawing I also wanted to say it was a key, but I didn't understand that and couldn't put it into any sort of context. So, I think it's either a key that allows entry and access, or a key that tells you how to get from one place to the next, or both.

The bottom two symbols in yours, Raz, seem to me to be related to two of the Sidhe cities I mentioned. One is said to be in the mountains, and one - the one that I felt was home to me - is said to be in or on the water.

The top two symbols don't look like anything I would recognize, though.

Are these two of the four main cities of the Sidhe?
