Description

disclaimer: I don't own Yidhra, any of the chtulhu mythos, or the Lilith symbol from Vampire: the Masquerade, or any of the Discordian images in the tattoo.

This is symbol used in one of the RPs I play in. In my RP, Yidhra, the Dream Witch and one of the outer gods of the Lovecraft universe, split herself into many forms before the creation of Earth. So many of the goddesses we know of are facets of Yidhra. This is a mark given to her most powerful priestesses.

There are symbols for different goddesses within the drawing, but Yidhra's forms are by no means limited to these goddesses.

Lilith:
The ring of thorns, the ring of leaves and the sun/moon symbol in the middle combine to form the symbol of Lilith used in Vampire: The Masquerade.

Persephone:
The petals of the narcissus flower should really be asphodel petals to represent the Greek Underworld, but in the story I read growing up, Persephone was lured away from her Nymphs by a particularly beautiful daffodil, so I drew that instead.

Eris:
The symbols I used for Eris borrow heavily from Discordianism. There is the symbol for the Holy Chao, which includes a Yin and Yang field with a pentagon to represent Order and a golden apple of discord with a "K" for Kallisti, meaning "for the fairest" in Greek, representing Chaos. There is also the Hand of Eris in the center, and a Chaos Star on the outside of the circle.

Hecate:
I chose the Wheel of Hecate and the Triple moon goddess symbol.

Artemis and Demeter: The Triple Moon goddess symbol also represents Artemis and Demeter.
