The Serpent is inherent to the Elden Ring as it forms where the three circles intersect. Praetor Rykard was on point when he claims, "a serpent never dies." without some form of the elden ring, there would be no stability, but with that elden ring, you get a serpent.

as above; so below.

Thrall revolutionaries after liberating Ubets. The graffiti on the statue podium is one of several revolutionary army symbols, the snake and daggers. This sign was in common use for most of the Revolt, representing victory against extreme odds, and also used almost as a prayer for good luck. In tattoos it's still possible to see the original form: the curved line replaced by a snake wending it's way between three daggers.

So I don't know if anyone has done this but I wanted to go into depth about the flower symbology seen in the trailer for Silent Hill F. I noticed that many of the flowers that is infecting the girl are flowers with some interesting symbolism and history.

First there are the Chrysanthemums.

White chrysanthemums are used in Japanese funerals and symbolize Grief.

Yellow chrysanthemums are often associated with longing and slighted love. But in Japan they are the imperial families crest flower and are associated with Light and the sun.(I wonder how they will be used in the game.)

While red Chrysanthemums Symbolize love in Japanese culture.

Next we have the Tsubaki flowers

White Camellias are considered a symbol of purity like many white flowers but White is considered a grief color in Japan so they are also a common funeral flower, though they are also associated with waiting, while yellow Camellia(not pictured) are associated with longing . Red Camellia are now commonly associated with an honorable death, the reason being that Tsubaki flowers(the Japanese name) fall of the bush while still in full bloom, giving them an association with beheading.

Now we have the cherry blossoms.

Cherry blossoms, due to their signature pink color, Did and still do have a story that they become pink because of corpses buried under their branches. In modern times they are associated with new beginnings, while on Buddhist teachings, they also represent transcience and ephemerality of life due to their short blooming period.

Next I could also be seeing Japanese Ume flower.

These have been considered protective flowers that ward off evil. They are also the old flower that was primarily associated with spring and good fortune.

Next that we see in the trailer itself but not specifically on the girl is of course the Red spider lily or Higanbana.(My personal favorite flower.)

They have many names for this flower in Japan but Higanbana is the most well-known one. In Buddhist teachings, this flower is what grows on the other shore, the afterlife, and symbolize final partings, death, and lost memories as well. Their bulbs are extremely poisonous and in Japan they are grown around graves and fields to discourage vermin. Their counterpart, the White Spider lily, is given the name Manjushage, and said to grow in heaven.

These are just some of my thoughts and knowledge I wanted to share as an amateur flower symbology enthusiast.

The hexafoil is a common symbol found in various cultures of Europe and Asia. It's also found very commonly in the Pyrenee mountains of Catalonia.

Though we call it names that mean the six petal flower, there are hypothesis that it could originate as a solar symbol or as representing a wheel. The symbol appears already in Protohistoric and Ancient cultures and remained part of Christian art until the Middle Ages. After that moment, its popularity declined in many urban contexts, but it remained common in folk art and the work of artisans from shepherding communities like the Pyrenees of Catalonia, Navarre, the Alps, Galicia, Portugal and the Russian North, among other European rural areas. It was used as a protective symbol as well as for decoration.

It's very common in the Catalan Pyrenees, and for this reason since 2003 it's the logo of the High Pyrenees Natural Park. In one image, it brings together nature and culture.

The images in this post are some examples of hexafoils in Catalonia and Andorra: reliefs in a Medieval church in the High Pyrenees Natural Park (photo: Parc Natural de l'Alt Pirineu) and in Isavarre (Joan Antoni Baron); in the ceiling of a conjuratory in Encamp, Andorra (Robert Lizarte); in the lower part of a tool for making cheese from la Seu d'Urgell (Museu Espai Ermengol); in cowbell collars in Andorra (Bon Dia Andorra) and near Ripoll (Jordi Iparraguirre); in a pre-Romanesque baptismal font in Llorenç del Penedès (Angela Llop); traditional salt keepers, one from Casa Gassia Ecomuseum in Esterri d'Àneu (Sortides amb gràcia), and the other one drawn copying an original in the early 20th century in Andorra (Sergi Mas); possible Adam and Eve relief in Sant Llíser church, Alós d'Isil (Ramon Oromí); and the logo of the High Pyrenees Natural Park.

- Cinnabar Moth - 'Frequent in open grassy habitats including waste ground, railway banks, gardens and woodland rides but perhaps most frequent on well drained rabbit-grazed grassland, mature sand-dunes and heathland.' A moth with bright colours that act as warning signs displaying their toxicity. They are seldom eaten by predators. And can afford to live life as a day-flying moth, living life in the sunshine, because of this.

In symbology - 'This creature is seen as a symbol of hope during difficult times. The cinnabar moth has the power to help us let go of our old ways and embrace the new.'

Explain the basic: Symbology

Desclaimer: Everything I will talk about is information that I got from books and sites online and even videos on YouTube. In my years of practice, I learned as much as I could out of curiosity and what works best for me. I suggest you do the same by learning as much as you can on your own (I will be here making posts teaching this kind of stuff) from multiple sources.

As always, I will love to hear your thoughts! and if you have any questions, I will be more than happy to answer them! If you liked it, leave a comment or reblog (that is always appreciated!). If you are interested in more methods, check the masterlist!

what is "symbology"?

Symbology is the study or interpretation of symbols and their meanings within various contexts, including cultural, religious, spiritual, and artistic. Symbols are visual or conceptual representations that carry specific ideas, beliefs, or values. Symbology involves understanding the significance, origins, and interpretations of symbols, as well as how they are used and perceived by different individuals or groups. In fields such as anthropology, psychology, literature, and religious studies, symbology plays a crucial role in analyzing and understanding human culture, communication, and expression.

why is symbology important for a witch?

Symbolism is extremely important for a witch to learn because there are many ways in which you will need it.  Symbolism is one of those things that is everywhere because everything can have a meaning. A good example could be the interpretation of dreams. Even if the dreams seem so strange and stupid, there is always a meaning.  Another great example is receiving signs, and by that, I mean receiving signs from deitis, entitis, the universe, etc. But those are not the only cases. symbology comes in handy for a witch; knowing what symbol to use is also very important for a witch because you don't want to attract a bad thing to you. 

There are symbols for everything, and they are everywhere.

how do i know is a symbol i use is good or bad?

It always depends on you and your culture. A quick search could help you avoid a lot of damage on you and your culture. A quick search could help you avoid a lot of damage to yourself, but this also depends on what you believe in. For example, I don't believe that satanism is bad, but I believe in bad people practicing satanism in the wrong way (and that goes for every religion and culture). I work with Asmodeous, and I don't see anything bad with it or his symbol (in demonology, every demon has a symbol with their name; it is pretty cool), but another person may see it as bad and dangerous and will avoid using it. It is as simple as that.

some realy popular symbols and their meaning:

-Pentagram/Pentacle: The word "pentagram" refers only to the five-pointed star, not the surrounding circle of a pentacle. Pentagrams were used symbolically in ancient Greece and Babylonia. Christians once commonly used the pentagram to represent the five wounds of Jesus. Often used as a symbol of protection, the pentacle consists of a five-pointed star within a circle. Each point represents an element (earth, air, fire, water, and spirit) and the circle symbolizes unity and wholeness.

-Moon: The moon is a powerful symbol in witchcraft, representing cycles, intuition, and the divine feminine. Different phases of the moon (waxing, full, waning) hold different meanings and energies.

-Triple Moon: This symbol consists of three moons—waxing, full, and waning—enclosed within a circle. It represents the phases of the moon, as well as the stages of a woman's life (maiden, mother, crone).

-Crescent Moon: A symbol of the waxing and waning moon, the crescent represents growth, change, and transformation.

-Ankh: Though originating from ancient Egyptian culture, the ankh is also used in modern witchcraft as a symbol of life, fertility, and divine protection.

-Symbols of the Elements: Various symbols represent the four classical elements—earth, air, fire, and water. For example, an upward-pointing triangle represents fire, while a downward-pointing triangle represents water. An equal-armed cross is often used for earth, and a stylized swirl or feather represents air.
