Clip art?!

[adric]

While trying to find some symbols someone copied from their hand to mine (yeah, I know *sigh*) I ran across this amusement (below). I haven't ordered , and probablly won't, since they want me to snail a check (?!), but if word gets back to them, I'll paypal or card them 25 bucks to ship me one of their CDs.

(tiff clipart of religious symbology, deities, and some historical engravings)

Anyway, I still haven't sorted out the symbology. I thought they were zodiac symbols, but they aren't. May just be nonsense. I don't have that nifty tome that contains all of the symbolic systems, (or that link for searching a symbol online), so I'm at a loss here ... The clearest one is a phoencian/latin numeral 4 open at the top, with an extra looped curl in the top left and a point > on the end of the right branch. I know I've seen these symbols before, but my brain never seemed to make it out of neutral today...

The symbol you're talking about is the symbol for Jupiter!

Oh. I had a datasheet on Uranus with me at the time, and I looked at
it and then promptly forgot that they were planetary, not zodiacal.

I've been a ditz today... They are:

Mercury - Sol/Sun - Saturn - Jupiter
(with some minor transcriptions errors)
Hermes - Apollo?? - Cronus - Zeus
messenger -- ???? -- titan -- thunder god

So, is there meaning to these scribbles, or is it just "cool"?

Maybe there's some meaning, hard to tell without looking at it. But probably it's just cool. :)
