Sacred Symbols

209 religious and occult symbols from across the world and across time — clean objects to use in your designs, each with where it comes from, what it is documented to mean, and whether that history is attested, disputed or modern. Image-makers draw these wrong; these are the real ones, with their sources and credits. Many link to their gods in the Hierophant.
