picking the group-mind...

[lagilman]

I need two (preferably non-Christian, Jewish/Muslim acceptable) sigils - one to represent character A (essential matter, lawful neutral, totality) and the other to represent group B (lawful good, impartiality, harsh justice). I would like them to have some grounding in existing mythos, but not so associated with one particular entity/religion that they can't be reinterpreted....

any pointers?



(EtA: I mean 'sigil' in the older sense of "representation of a word of action/effect," if that helps)

In terms of the mediaeval cultures I know best, those two characters are overlapping, so this is something of a challenge. However, I wonder if something ring or disk shaped might work for A: it conveys totality and balance, and if could reference essential matter if it was also, say, some kind of stone (my instinct says flint, as that is a very early tool-forming substance and thus an early nexus of society and social order). Or something like the triskelion patterns that turn up on a number of megaliths -- picture here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triple_spiral It's referred to in that article as 'Celtic', but that's highly debateable, given the dates.
The double-headed axe is a fairly common symbol associated with justice: could that work for B?
