I guess like lots of people who are not superstitious and don’t believe in fortune telling or horoscopes or spiritualism, I still have an interest in it! I haven’t yet written anything which has a story line to do with other worldly things, but I think one day I might.
I can’t remember where I saw it now, but I saw an image which had lots of funny little symbols all over it, and in my almost OCD way, I noted down the different images and gave them names. I guess I was thinking they were similar to runes, maybe. I have no idea now what the image was or where I found it, or even if it was something significant or just random scribbly patterns on wallpaper for example. I was looking through some old things, and came across the list of symbols, although not the images:
- Seated bowman
- Bowman
- Bow
- Pattern
- Simple pattern
- Diamond
- Squirl
- Deer
- Buffalo
- Jellyfish
- Scorpion
- Turtle
- Standing man
- Pushing man
- Speaking man
- Crane
- Vulture
- Square
- Tusked creature
- Three diamond
- Leaf
- Goat
- Frog
- Concentric squirl
- Fork
- Nothing
There is no significance in the order, or the number beside each, it was just as I jotted them all down at random. Now I have found the list I am intrigued by the idea of it, and I’m beginning to think of ways I could use something like this in my writing… Something to play around with… hmmm… some ideas are swirling…
