I often look at the sky as I smoke cigarettes. A few weeks ago, I got bombarded by a fast repeating pattern whenever I glanced at the sky. It didn’t stop until I managed to write them all down. I’m not sure if I’m supposed to create a sigil or what to make of it. This is what I saw.

I can tell you that the first two represent fire and water respectively. Fire is the South, Mars, and the sun, plus all your zodiac fire signs.
Passion, lust, vigor, vitality, rage, aggression.
Ruled by Elemental King Djin.
Water is West. Saturn and Jupiter.
Governed by King Nichsa.

The third Symbol represents Home…

A while ago I started seeing the first two (fire and water) during meditation and even sometimes on the walls with my eyes open. But for me water is on top of fire (tips touching). I see it all of the time now. Not too sure what it means/what to do about it yet either, but maybe meditating on them is the way to go?

I think I understand. It somehow had a combined formation that was similar to a hexagon, but wasn’t.
Glad to know I’m not the only one trying to understand this.

Came across tattvas/tattwas. I have a hunch it’s related. That might be something you’ll find interesting, too.

I’ll definitely look into that! Thank you 
I just remembered a couple of weeks ago I saw a symbol several times that turned out to be the alchemical symbol for arsenic. I guess I should look into that one too.

I found 3 and 4 in “Dictionary of Occult, Hermetic and Alchemical Sigils” by Fred Grettings you can find a free pdf of it online if you’re interested.

Thank you!!! Will look into that right away.
What you describe is the hexagram for Water, in the North, in the Hexagram ritual.

6 years ago, I posted on BALG about a symbol pattern I had “seen” asking for insight. That post is here: Unknown symbol pattern
It had been rapidly flashing for hours to the point it was nauseating and it took me a while to figure out how to break it down into written symbols. When I finished the fifth one, it stopped immediately. It did and still does feel important, so I never quite gave up on figuring it out. This is sequence I managed to draw:
I was reading about the meaning behind the philosopher’s stone and accidentally came across the complex symbol I saw flashing in the sky. Minus the outer circle and the pupil centered in the eye shape, the third drawing on the right is the combined upright and inverted overlaid philosopher’s stone alchemy symbol is what I saw that day. The final shape accidentally creates the Vedic’s piscis and thus, the eye at the center.
Once again, any insight on possibly spirits associated with this and meanings would be greatly appreciated. So far, the only possible lead I have is Hermes/Mercurius from the Greco-Roman pantheon.

Since this is the same topic and the first was still open, I have merged the threads. Please avoid making duplicate topic if you can, so others can see the responses and context of the whole thing together.

So you said you were going to look into this response, and some other good ideas - what happened with those?
These are all platonic solids when seen in 3D, also prominent in sacred geometry and can be surmised or extracted from the “flower of life”. (The vesica pisces is the “seed of life”)
Drunvalo Melchizedek has a fascinating lecture on Gaia about the geometry in the flower of life and the lessons hidden in it’s symbolism.

@Mulberry At the time, I didn’t get very far— especially when trying to find out more about magical octaves.
Since then, I’ve come across connections between ogdoad of Hermeticism and Gnosticism. I’ve read the Nag Hammadi Library and became familiar with the different cosmologies presented. I need to read The Corpus Hermeticism and compare to the former. I’m also uncertain if Neoplatonism differs much, but is also on my research list.
I’m not the first to see if there is an opposite of The Philosopher’s Stone and can see the suggestion between the Kabbalah and Qlippoth trees.
What I’ve got so far is the following:
- The Philosopher’s Stone is a state of consciousness where the material and the spiritual transcends into unity.
- The opposite of such is the dissolution of that state.
- This strong duality, especially with the eye of providence symbol, makes me believe it may represent what others call The Source here or, The Gnostics called The God Above God, or the Jungian Seven Sermon’s to the Dead calls The Great and Terrible Abraxas.
- Reality is made of structure and opposing forces, and perception is what sits in the center of it.
On previous posts I’ve made here regarding visions during meditation and dreams, I was able to see how they connected to this same symbol. The bright, white place that dissolved the formless black is the alchemical nigredo (raw matter, chaos, decomposition) and albedo (purification, stripping away, dissolution). The dream I had about being pulled into a painless, enlightening fire I believe is Hermes/Mercurius. At the time, I was unaware that he is credited with creating divine fire and acted as a psychopomp. Being pulled into a different place from my dream and spat back out into it definitely fits underneath a liminal experience.
That’s my two cents, anyway. I don’t know if I’m grasping at straws or finally onto something. I’m patient and have been trying to solve this personal puzzle for 6 years. I’m hoping my slowness isn’t counted against me.

That’s a lot of work.
Did you feel like the fact that you saw them stacked of particular importance, and therefore implying a very specific current?
This also seques back to the flower of life and the sacred geometry within it. Same idea different language.
I feel like they are at least subjects for meditation and you can explore a lot of ideas though these, there isn’t just one answer, so what you’ve done is perfect and the intended result from this message.

hi, i would just like to say that i stumbled across this site by accident doing research about demons. and this post was the most recently updated at the time. it gave me so much synchronicity when i read it. hermes has been working with me and communicating with/through me so much lately. and from my own intuition i would say that he definitely has a message for you. i also want to say that the fire and concept of this transformation is bringing anubis to my mind. anubis is a constant guide in my life and i think you could benefit from working with him more to uncover what this imagery/symbolism is trying to convey to you?

Extremely important. I’m the poster child for ADHD and the impression I get of how profoundly significant it is for me to figure out the message has meant I’m still trying to solve it six years later.
I had actually gotten nauseated from the speed of this symbol pattern recreating itself and asked whatever spirit showing me it to slow down so I could draw it. The symbol pattern kind of slowed, but in a way a pedestrian can say a car going 50 mph past them is slower than a vehicle going 74 mph past them.
If I may ask, do you think it’s best to meditate on the breakdown of the five individual symbols first or the comprehensive one first?
Also: this morning came across another synchronicity with the 5 Pentacles of Mercury (Seals of Hermes) from The Greater Seal of Solomon. Not sure if it’s coincidental regarding the number 5 from that compared to the breakdown of the symbol pattern I saw.
I’m less familiar with The Greater Key of Solomon, mostly because—with the exception of Raziel, angels kind of give me the creeps. My impression of their nature might be wrong, but angels seem to be far removed from understanding the human experience that they won’t think twice about deciding to “help give you the luxury of time to meditate”. Meaning they directly influence events leading you to getting you fired from your job, your spouse cheating and abandoning you, your house burning down from arson, and later being convicted of a felony crime you didn’t even commit. All so you can have the luxury of freedom from other obligations to focus on mediating in a prison cell.
Thank you for your insight.
If I may ask, how do you personally communicate with Hermes? Just direct thoughts to him? Sing his Orphic Hymn? Meditate of Mercury’s Planetary Square?
I have very little experience actually working with any deities from pagan pantheons. I was solitary by default of lack of local covens growing up and honestly consider my practice from that time more of a scholar than practitioner. Is worshipping mandatory with Pagan gods from your experience? Because I associate the word “worship” with my LDS upbringing and gag a little involuntary just upon hearing the word hahaha.
I do have to say, finding out Hermes/Mercurius is also considered a trickster has me realizing he pulled the ultimate six year payoff long con of a joke on me. He came to me in my dream surrounded by fire using imagery mocking the LDS faith I was born into, providing no name for me to identify him, and leading me to the conclusion he must be a demon instead of a pagan god.

I’m a fan of Hermes and he’s never acted as a trickster for me. I have worked with him for several years now to help my intuition for communication activities at work. Perhaps it depends on expectations or your mutual energy and purpose together.
It sounds like it’s the combination that’s important.
Note: I had to remove the AI content, as we have a new rule that all Gen AI-generated content is banned here.
Same! But ime none of them asked for that, it’s just foisted upon them by humans who want someone else to take care of them. I see it as weak and disrespectful of the self who is equally a “god”, but that’s me. Being a bit in awe of extremely skilled and accomplished people that earned that respect is another thing and applies to humans too, we just have to be adults about it and realize they are people too.
I don’t actually believe in such a thing as “gods” and I work with entities from several cultures. I think it’s always worth setting other people’s opinions on one side and reaching out person to person to meet one on one and make your own relationship. I funny fund a difference in the end, the culture they are in can affect them but you don’t have to let it affect you… Also, the culture they are in now is usually nothing to do with the human culture they’re known from. A lot changes in time and I if you cling to old ideas you just get egregores not the evolving person.
