Signs & Seals: Drawn Door

Okay, so I have heard third-hand about some incidents of Doors following people. Like, wherever they move, they find the Door waiting for them. Waiting for them to open it.

So when they go to a new place, they draw doors on the walls. I don't know if this actually stops a Door from manifesting (probably not), but it can't hurt. I've seen chalk doors drawn on alleyways and spray-painted on the side of buildings.

Of course, like the Operator Symbol, drawing a door may just attract a Door to you. I don't know if the City likes fucking around with people, playing with its food, but that third-hand report I heard contained an anecdote where a chalk door was erased and a real Door manifested instantly. So, hey, draw your own conclusions.

Signs & Seals: The Stick and the Serpent

The Plague Doctor doesn't like to announce his presence, but oftentimes after he leaves a place, someone will put up this symbol:

Looks like some sort of mathematical symbol, right? Well, nope, it's called the Stick and the Serpent. Sort of similar to the rod of Asclepius, except where the rod of Asclepius represents medecine and healing, this symbol represents the fucking Plague Doctor.

Nobody knows who, exactly, puts up this symbol. It just seems to appear, chalk-drawn on the sidewalk or spray-painted on a wall. If you see it, go the other fucking way.

Signs & Seals: The Twin Triangles

And now for another edition of Signs & Seals:

This is a symbol referred to as the "Twin Triangles." It is a symbol that represents or accompanies the Archangel.

The symbol sort of looks like two hourglasses, which might represent Death's Hourglass, death leading to the Archangel. Or not. The symbol isn't really clear and nobody really has explained what it has to do with the Archangel. In this respect, it is similar to the Operator Symbol.

Signs & Seals: The Operator Symbol

Welcome to Signs & Seals, the portion of this blog that talks about the various iconography associated with Them. The first installment will be about, of course, the omnipresent Operator Symbol.

Symptoms of the Operator Symbol include: weevil attacks, intense ice cream headaches, and treefingers.

The Operator Symbol is associated with the Slender Man. According to some sources, it's a repellent against Slendy. Other sources say that it actually attracts him. Even otherer sources say that the symbol is a memetic device that causes us to think about Slendy and thus attract his attention.

Whether using the Operator Symbol is a good idea or a bad idea, the fact is that it shows up in a whole lot of places near the Slender Man. And now you know -- and knowing is half the battle. (The other half involves an inordinate amount of violence, so just stick with knowledge for now.)
