in what context or circumstances have you seen this symbol. that might help someone to assist you.
Where exactly have you seen this symbol? From your description, it sounds a little like some kind of Celtic sign, but if you can tell me where you have seen it, I might be able to help.
An inscription, on a grave-stone, perhaps ? An S with three cuts intersecting the middle ? Is this not a cypher for IHS -Iesus Hominum Salvator ? or In Heaven Sleeping, as I've heard it described as ?
i have a book called 1002 symbols - but it has 994 pages, sop if you can give me more information - anything not matter how vague, something to check first, i will look for you.

perhaps a vague idea of the first letter or a vague sense of its meaning - i.e spriritual, religious, pagan, sovereignty, celtic etc etc

also is it an actual S or just a vague shape of one - i will look in the S section
Question Author
i have only seen twice and the second time i seen i tattoo'd it to my heart sooooo i would kinda like to know what it is
.. as far as the shape.. yes it looks like an S
the middle has like 4 leaf lookin things i can't explain it... they are centered perfectly in the middle where the 2 loops things combine..
its top and bottoms have like clefs like the tp of the S has a clef, and the bottom does sorta...
frickin hard to explain but its actually quite a simple looking symbol
I know what sort of thing you mean, I think anyway! Looking on Google for it, can't think how to draw it!
Question Author
no dear, doesn't help i have tried going there myself, thank you
i could draw it no problem yeh, but i don't know how to get that drawing onto this computer to even show someone what it looks like to find out what it means...
its very frustrating.. and its not something i made up er whatever, i saw it on the internet bout 6 years ago, and loved it and started drawing it
felt very drawn to the symbol tho i didn't know what it meant
now i'm very curious as to what it does mean
could it be one someone has just made up as a logo or something? such as an S for their name and a symbol for their business or something

try also webdings and wingdings and others in MS word as they seem to have a lot of unusual leafy shapes etc

i looked through my whole book and didn't see anything similar i'm afraid
Question Author
i suppose that is possible - and i've always known that is possible

but u never know...
someone might know what i am talking about yet
because a friend of mine said it's supposed to be something spiritual i dunno if he knew what he was talkin bout
but he knew the symbol
who knows... i will just leave this question up for awhile, you never know who will know what...
could you draw it on paint and then get it on here somehow? dont people use that tinypic thing to put links to pictures?
