What's that symbol on the right pic?

A Megapolisomancy's symbol

Mega-cities are a new phenomenon in our civilization and have often troubled people interested in mystery.  A group of people supports that our cities are not as boring as they might deems, that they hide secret spots and messages. Connoisseurs of such knowledge are considered to be gaining access to the practise of Astymageia or Astymanteia (Urban magic or Urban prophetics, a new “science of cities”.

“What’s wrong with those odd symbols on pavement plaques?”

by Giorgos Ioannidis, 24/02/12

The enigma of magic seals, those odd symbols that have been inscribed on pavement metal plaques in cities, is more or less known to all of us. Identical to the chemtrails, it is a mystery “to each and every one of us can easily observe, just by stepping out of their home and walking in neighborhoods close by. Sooner or later they will meet small (usually) metal plaques covering water “clocks”, pipes or nothing at all - plaques inscribed with pentalphas, concentric circles, stars and other weird symbols. What is actually going on with those plaques? Who places them there and why?

As of “who”, it seems difficult to find out nowadays since those who have dealt with the matter (from the era of Giorgos Balanos who first published this riddle, to Thanasis Bempo, APostolos Hedaris and other researchers -amateurs or not) have come to the conclusion that the design of these plaques happened a couple of decades ago, were partially constructed by companies in China, while distribution in the market in large quantities was at least until the 90s.

The age of those plaques is also proven by the fact that most of them are in central parts of cities, in relatively old neighborhoods, more rarely in very old and never in new ones. Another important element is that similar plaques exist abroad. The elegant plaques of Japan, USA, United Kingdom and France are characteristic. In the famous autobiographical novel of french Joris-Karl Huyasmans La-Bas (1891) there are references to plaques on pavements of Paris with alchemical symbols. The theories that explain this whole subject are three: 1) the plaques have no special configuration, are randomly placed and were designed this way for purely aesthetic reasons. So we are looking for conspiracy theories and magic seals where there is none. Typical of this are the big, circular plaques in the center of Thessaloniki where they designed a triangle with a circle and a dot in the center. Is it the familiar symbol of All Seeing Eye? Of course not. It is just the acronym of Municipality of Thessaloniki. On the other hand 2) it is possible that these plaques were designed by someone knowing the importance of symbols -maybe some uneasy artist or an accustomed mason- who intended to decorate the streets with images hiding deeper meanings.

Another theory suggests that, not only did the person designing them know what they were doing, but that the plaques are placed in specific spots, for very specific purposes.

The reasons might concern matters of cryptography or be rather paraphysic, relating therefore with telluric currents running through earth’s strata in a conscientious effort to control those currents. 

In Mystery vol.31 I explain the secrets of Urban Shamanism in relation to this topic, as well as in my book Necronomicon (2008) I decode this energetic usefulness of these plaques - as for example the symbol of two tangential circles represents a point of focus or the passage/flow of energy. The simple pentaktinos signifies some bioenergetic schism, while in its center there is a dot, that signifies an open portal and so on.

Somewhere in between reality, conspiratorial exaggeration and urban legend magic, the enigma of odd plaques will continue to charm generations in search of mystery in their every step.

time to notice the ground you walk on

manholes are interrupting the pavement

one reads OTE

another public works

another has a strange icon on it, sth like a logo

take a photo

#1

starting point: library

walk and turn left

look back to the library, you can see an antenna from here

no wait. that’s a lightning road, lol

[internetunderwater]

(before and after)

walk straight again

on your right you see the green bus lane

under the lane, optic fibers had been put years ago

new concrete had covered them 

but the green paint covered all the concrete patches 

keep walking straight, look up

some cables are crossing the sky

turn left and then go straight

look up, you can see an antenna complex right across you

it’s the OTE building, makes sense for the antenna to be there

they empty the building: they’re leaving?

what will happen to the antenna?

continue straight

more cables in the sky

turn left

[internetunderwater]

look right and left

you can see electrical boxes everywhere

providing power to houses and shops

go near a box and observe

you can see the watts, numbers counting the hours

while the power is consumed

everything is on

watch that alarm on right

one light on, then the other, blink blink on the orange glass

[internetunderwater]

#6

keep walking

look down for the concrete patches 

at least now they are still here

[internetunderwater]

#7

turn left and follow the patch at the side of the road

look around

more alarms, a camera, 

a new-age electrical box, look at that!

[internetunderwater]

note a)

a street named after Palestine

walk that street, then turn right

[internetunderwater]

#9

a Vodafone manhole 

I remember that, I almost fell on it with my bike once

turn left on that manhole

[internetunderwater]

note b)

the street is under construction after the floods

maybe to erase what the flood left behind

dirt, dust, rocks are everywhere

the only thing untouched are these manholes

Vodafone manholes, ΔΕΗ manholes

power, phone, internet going through and under them:

if it weren’t for these metal caps

all these infrastructure would be invisible

out of sight, out of mind

[internetunderwater]

#10

another electrical box measuring the power

another ΔΕΗ manhole providing cables to share the power

another Vodafone manhole that uses this power for people to communicate

[internetunderwater]

#11

turn around, go back, turn left, you reached the Library again

it reminds you of the flood

the building hasn’t escape it yet

it’s been 8 months

[internetunderwater]

#12

go near these doors, take a look inside

all these trucks, bulldozes are parked in front of the entrance

try to cut in between them, there you go

you can smell the damp filling the building from here

maybe there’s mold, too

[internetunderwater]

#13

closer look:

dust on the floor; it was water, it became mud and then dust took in

just like it happened to the rest of the city

but here· no one cleaned the dust here

it’s like a flood museum

[internetunderwater]

#14

look at that machine!

the books’ ATM!

we used to return books from here

a computer tower left on the floor
