I am attempting to represent the inner or essential qualities of common objects which show up in magick. While doing this I realized how little time I spend trying to articulate, particularly in a condensed way, essential qualities of objects. Having done one of them I think this might be something interesting to put up for the forum, so I am posting these here with an invitation to post your own.
Using the bagua I came up with a less than perfect representation (Ts'ui; Lake over Earth, called Collecting Together) "it will be advantageous to see the great man. There will be progress, though firm perseverance is required if the most is to be made of this auspicious time. great sacrifices will be conductive to good fortune; movement in any direction will be advantages."
My next attempt was a bit more successful. I used the parts of the dollar sign ($) To make a sigil consisting of an equilateral triangle representing the material base of money, and wavy lines passing through them to represent the fluid kinetic aspect of money.

I really like this idea... Money is the great initiator of material wealth in our lives. Its liquid and fluid and flows back and forth between saving and spending and back to saving. If it is spent where the most can benefit, it draws the most to it. It monetizes the resources required for survival as well as potential future values allowing us to make wiser decisions in the investment of our resources.
Its sister is energy which is mostly represented by oil currently, but this won't last forever and has been changing for a long time. Whats the next best pattern that models what money represents.
Is it's sister really energy? Whats the best source of energy in this world? Maybe electromagnetic fields? Vortex mathematics?
hmmm
