Oh honey, Athena's serpent represents wisdom and protection. It's basically her sidekick, like a feisty little bodyguard with scales. So if you see that slithery fella hanging around, just know that Athena's got your back with some serious brain power.

It is difficult to provide an exact number of symbols in the world as it depends on the context in which the term "symbols" is used. In linguistics, there are thousands of symbols representing sounds in various writing systems. In mathematics and science, symbols are used to represent variables, constants, and operations. In symbolic logic, symbols are used to represent logical connectives and quantifiers. Overall, the number of symbols in the world is vast and varied across different disciplines and contexts.

Narcotics Anonymous symbol (often called the service symbol) appears as a square in a circle. Some members suggest it means that the 'square peg' (the recovering addict) CAN fit into the 'round hole' of society, but this meaning is unsubstantiated NA folklore.

In truth the symbol is intended to represent a three dimensional figure of four sides of a pyramid rising from a circular base. This meaning is discussed in the NA book "Narcotics Anonymous", often called the Basic Text. On page vi and vii of the 5th edition the symbol is described in detail. Here is the full quote explaining the NA symbol:

"Our NA Symbol"

"Simplicity is the key to our symbol; it imitates the simplicity of our Fellowship. All sorts of occult and esoteric connotations can be found in it's simple outlines, but foremost in the minds of the Fellowship are easily understood meanings and relationships.

"The outer circle denotes a universal and total program that has room within it for all manifestations of the recovering person.

"The square, whose lines are defined, is easily seen and understood; but there are other unseen parts of the symbol. The square base denotes Goodwill, the ground of both the Fellowship and the members of our society. Good will is best exemplified in service; proper service is "Doing the right thing for the right reason." When Good will supports and motivates both the individual and the Fellowship, we are fully whole and wholly free. Probably the last to be lost to freedom will be the stigma of bing an addict.

It is the four pyramid sides that rise from the base in a three dimensional figure that represent Self, Society, Service and God. All rise to the point of Freedom. All parts are closely related to the needs and aims of the addict who is seeking recovery, and to the purpose of the Fellowship which is to make recovery available to all. The greater the base (as we grow in unity, in numbers, and in fellowship) the broader the sides of the pyramid, and the higher the point of freedom."

It is generally accepted that this description was written by an NA member named Greg P. who also wrote several other pieces of NA lit. Sadly, Greg passed away in the 1990's.

Mass-produced children's books, printed on cheap and lightweight but very thick paper, typically containing non-copyright material for which no royalties had to be paid, printed in large type, and re-using the same illustrations from one book to another.

Oh, dude, the Tinkerbell decal on cars totally means you believe in fairies and magic, obviously. It's like a subtle way of saying, "Hey, I'm whimsical and maybe a little bit of a Disney fanatic." So, if you see one, just remember to clap your hands and say, "I do believe in fairies!" to keep the magic alive.

Light or a star because Sam gives the kids hope and the thought of all the people over 15 coming back is hope to many of the kids. So maybe a heart too? or Good and evil because the darkness caine and drake are fighting the moofs and sam. (dark vs. light)

"His broad brow, with all the features of the face..."

To properly hang the Canadian Maple Leaf flag, ensure the red maple leaf is centered and upright, with the red bars on each side. When displayed vertically, rotate the flag so the leaf points up, with red bars on the left and right. Outdoors on a flagpole, raise it briskly and lower it slowly; it should be flown from sunrise to sunset unless it’s illuminated at night. When placed with other flags, the Maple Leaf flag should be at the same height or higher and given a position of honor, such as in the center if displayed with multiple flags.

There is much symbolism associated with death and the Ace of Spades playing card and the Grim Reaper are two such symbols. Being used together is merely redundancy.

A person wearing the Ace of Spades patch is suggesting to the knowledgeable viewer that the will fight to the death when ever provoked. If there are other images added it can suggest other meanings. Among gangs if the letter "M" or the numeral "13" ('M' is the thirteenth letter of the alphabet) is added in the imagery it may suggest that the wearer has murdered someone or uses and/or sells marijuana.

But this symbol did not find a place in computers.

The bird that symbolizes war is the eagle. Eagles have been associated with power, strength, and dominance throughout history, making them a fitting symbol for the brutal and destructive nature of war.

It's a beautiful symbol of growth and embracing one's uniqueness.
