Symbols (Zodiac, Planets, Hebrew)

[LosAngeles]

I was wondering if anyone knows these symbols please.

I looked everywhere but I can't seem to make them out.
I would like to know what the symbol on top of the pentagram means(the one which looks like a wheel). I thought it could be a "kosmogramm", but it has 8 crossings and a kosmogramm has 12. Also the one right of it(seems to be a bird head) as well as the three symbols on top, the circle with the line, the merkur-like symbol and the triangle-thingy (I've never seen these before somewhere).

The symbols on the corners of the pentagram should be zodiac symbols, but they're not (only 3 of them)...

Is anyone familiar with these things??

The uppermost one is obviously male and female(with the male bit cut off where it counts... ouch). The upper left of the one on the pentagram looks somewhat like water. Could be a reference to 5 'elements' mabey? With the bird representing air? I don't know, just a random guess.

The lower right symbol is the zodiac for Leo.
The upper left side, the triangle, is multiple things that have been tree, thorn, conquerer, and loads of other things because simple shapes are often over used.

No, sorry Fafnir & Sixty. I used to be into this kinda crap.

Bottom right: Leo.
Bottom left: Taurus.
Middle left: Aquarius.
Very top: Mercury (element, not planet, also Quicksilver)
One with triangle: Sulphur
Circle with divisions: The wheel. (As in, the Circle of Life)
Circle with single line through it: I believe that stands for Magick Circle. As in, an Alchemical ring or a witch's circle. But usually it's mirrored.

No clue what the eagle-looking one is. Alchemy often uses symbols for creatures though, and that may be some bastardized version of a hawk or eagle symbol.

And yeah, the center is a pentagram, a must in any pagan or alchemical circle.

No, I'm not wiccan ... I just used to be interested in this stuff :'P

Thanks @ all.
And thanks V! I recognized Leo, Tarus and Aquarius but that was about it
Your explanations make totally sense here.

lol. It is indeed quite interesting, also because it is pretty well thought out.
I'm using mysterious western circles from the 17th/18th century as a basic model for a society from my game.

If someone has any other idea what the eagle thingy could be, please let me know.^_^

Doesn't Dr. Robert Langdon correct the French policeman in the da vinci code and call it something else?

With the other symbols that are present, I'd assume that it isn't the representation of any Satanic order.

It is from the so-called "Rose-Cross" the symbol of the "Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn" (here)

lol, of course not!

 

[dewi]

no clue yet, but I think you should look elsewhere, because I've heard those guys from Rose cross, are a bunch of lunatics.
Well, that's what I heard...
