The Dearinth symbol was designed by Oberon Zell (Then known as Otter Zell) as an emblem to represent his “Church of All Worlds,” a Neopagan religious group based on the spiritual themes in Robert Heinlein’s novel Stranger in a Strange Land.
The symbol is based on ancient labyrinth designs, and incorporates the images of the Wiccan/Neopagan Goddess and the Horned God. The nine concentric rings symbolize the nine levels of initiation in the Church.

Symbol Code: SM000437 Symbol Name: Disguised pentacles (Category: Creation )

Hidden pentacles are pentacles disguised within more intricate designs, and may be worn when it is not safe or appropriate to wear a ‘standard’ pentacle. Many such stylized designs are worn which can be recognized by other believers, but less apparent to outsiders. Sometimes called a ‘flower pentacle,’ they have a less “occult” look and are less likely to cause problems with non-pagan family or in the workplace.

Symbol Code: SM000438 Symbol Name: Eckankar (“Eck”) Emblem (Category: Creation )

The emblem of Eckankar, a spiritual group founded in 1965 by former Scientologist and Yoga initiate John Paul Twitchell. The philosophy of “Eck” follows that of numerous Eastern traditions that a divine sound current (“Om”) emanates throughout creation, becoming increasingly denser and entangled within the material. Mimicking the divine sound helps one to attune to that current and purifies matter, bringing one closer to the divine source.
The symbol itself is simply “Ek,” short for eckankar, a corruption of the words “Ek Onkar,” God is one or one essence; ‘omkar’ means, literally, ‘om creator’ and can be likened to the First Cause.
Omkar written in Sanskrit letters is what we commonly refer to as the “Om symbol.”

Symbol Code: SM000440 Symbol Name: Menorah (Category: Creation )

The menorah is one of the oldest symbols of the Jewish faith. The seven branched candelabra probably originated as a version of the Babylonian world tree. The number seven is a repeating sacred motif in Judaism’s parent religion; the seven arms likely represented the seven days of creation and the seven visible planets. Curiously, the name given to the central light is “Shamash,” the name of the Babylonian Sun God, who is related to a similar ancient symbol.

Symbol Code: SM000659 Symbol Name: Hand Symbol (Category: Creation )

(Creation of Man): The Hand symbolized human life and this sign was believed to channel energy to the wearer. War paint in the form of various symbols, such as the hand symbol, were applied to intimidate their enemies when going into battle or during warfare - this where the term "War Paint" was originally derived. The following picture of the Mandan Chief succeeded - he scares the life out of me! The hand symbol also represents spiritual power, strength, domination and protection. The process of applying war paint provided strong mental preparation for the forthcoming battle. Medicine Men sometimes chose certain markings for warriors, like the hand symbol, and powerful magic was passed on during the application of the war paint, such as the hand symbol, helping the warrior to believe himself to be invincible.

Symbol Code: SM000660 Symbol Name: Twins Symbol (Category: Creation )

(Creation of Man): The twins were commonly used in the creation stories. The Navajo creation story features myths relating to twins and a horned monster. They represented both sides and a balance between good and evil, male and female, light and dark and all other dual sides. In the mythology of some tribes pairs of twins combined heroism with the mischievous behavior of Tricksters. Occasionally, twins represented opposing forces of good and evil. However, rather than enemies, twins in Native American mythology and legend are often partners in a task or a quest.

Symbol Code: SM000860 Symbol Name: Om Symbol (Category: Creation )

(Creation of the World): It's amazing how a whole procession of meanings can tumble out of one little symbol. The om symbol (a.k.a.: ohm, aum, omkar) is one such symbol - proof that BIG symbolism often comes in tiny packages.
Getting an om tattoo will convey an understanding of very primitive, ancient universal principles. This symbol is actually a conveyance of sound - the sound of life. Emitting the aaaaaauuuuuummmm sound from the vocal chords, is mimicking the harmonic tone of all creation.

Symbol Code: SM001059 Symbol Name: Diving Deep into Water (Category: CREATION )

(BIRTH OF CREATION): The symbolism of water has a universal undertone of purity and fertility. Symbolically, it is often viewed as the source of life itself as we see evidence in countless creation myths in which life emerges from primordial waters.
Interestingly, we are all made of water, and so we can liken many of these myths and allegories to our own existence (the macrocosm mirroring the microcosm and vice versa). Further, we can incorporate symbolism of circulation, life, cohesion and birth by associating the creative waters of the earth with the fluids found in our own body (i.e., blood).

They also represent perfect balance. Reference:http://www.whats-your-sign.com/symbol-for-twin.html

Symbol Code: SM001069 Symbol Name: Aristotelian Element Earth Symbol (Category: CREATION )

The Greek philosopher Aristotle was one of the first to establish a structured set of symbols for all the elements. These are comprised of a series of triangles each representing the foundational, elemental law-holders of the Universe. I appreciate the triangular theme in each of these elemental symbols. Triangles are steeped in symbolism pertaining to creation, more specifically, co-operative creativity.

Symbol Code: SM001143 Symbol Name: Pitchers (Category: CREATION )

In ancient art, we see Temperantia holding one pitcher in her left hand, and another in her right. Other art shows her with just one pitcher. Always there is fluid running out. What's this all about? The fluid is symbolic of the life force - the flow of energy - chi, prana - whatever you want to call it. It's the stream of consciousness - sentient energy. The pitcher is the containment system of this energy. The pitcher is a parable. We are the pitchers - humans are the vessels - made of clay, and from each of us is poured the elixirs of life. Consider yourself a jar of clay, and your thoughts and emotions pour out from you. What's coming out of you? Venom? Nectar? Vinegar? Honey? Temperantia's jug-o-life reminds me of the direction in which my life force is flowing. This goddess symbol reminds us of the circulation of our energy, and our ability to moderate the quality of its contents.
