It all started around a week ago. I was meditating and I had a dream that there was an axe coming down on a bowl, and I knew that bowl full of water was the world, and when I put my shoulder to the giant arm holding the axe, myself emerging from the bowl, I was asked to defend Magic being in this world. I forget what all I said, but it centered around something like "There are still believers here, and I am one of them. Please don't give up". Since then, I've been seeing a symbol very similar to the Hieroglyphic Monad, as I'm sure some of you are familiar with. If not, here's a good example. (IMG: http://z.about.com/d/altreligion/1/0/T/z/2/skircherdiagram.jpg) Remove the semicircles at the bottom, shorten the cross, and take out the symbol for Helios, instead putting the Lunar Crescent at the top of the cross, and that's what I've been seeing. Everywhere. It's shown up in shadows on my wall, it showed up on my left forearm as a tattoo I didn't remember for approximately five minutes. I took a picture, and it turned up as having nothing there. I saw it on my own face when I went to look in the mirror, and it was there for about three seconds. I've been seeing it in shadows cast across my room while reading, and in random places right in front of me. I'm not sure what to think, I can't find a match for this symbol anywhere. I've done some sigil work, but this has never been one of them. And it's really freaking me out. I want to know what this symbol is, and where it came from. One thought I had was that it might be Phoenician, but it's not. In fact, I have literally no idea what this symbol is. Taking it apart from the Hieroglyphic Monad standpoint, it should be the cross, representing the four primal elements, and the Lunar Crescent, giving credence to the moon's power over these elements as a celestial body. But that doesn't make a whole lot of sense for me, as a person, and I'm completely confused. Please, if you have a thought, no matter how simple, tell me. This issue is driving me insane.

I'd thought about it but it never clicked. In alchemical relations, taking it apart would yield the primal cross, representing the four elements found in nature, and a lunar crescent, representing the moon, or mercury. Perhaps the combination of antimony and iron. But it could be a key step in something, I suppose. Seems fractured if you take it apart, but putting it together yields the commonly found symbol for quicksilver, another element commonly represented as a key factor in the Great Work.
I'd forgotten the metaphorical implications of this: Mercury being a key element, means that the symbol I'm seeing could be representational of some order, lodge, or fringe belief; OR, it could represent the pure form of Mercury, poisonous, yet a fluid element that's widely used for thousands of alchemical relations. All confusing, and I've beaten around the bush. I guess it all just clicked. And that would explain the other symbol I've been seeing lately during concentration. I think, somehow, an alchemical process is being sent to me. I'm going to start writing this all down.
But I think I'm on the verge of the answer I need. And I'm posting it here, now, because I said I would.

I do enjoy puzzles though sometimes I get upset and yell at my guides to just tell me what they mean. Then in hindsight I understand I wouldn't have grasped all of the intricate details or retained the knowledge if I hadn't figured it out on my own. What is the other symbol you have been seeing?
