[expand]Water and earth, as elemental forces, required their own symbolic language.
Wavy Lines:
Horizontal wavy lines represented water—rivers, rain, the life-giving moisture essential to survival. These glyphs appeared on wells (blessing the water source), on offering vessels (dedicating water to the gods), and on rain-summoning ritual objects.
Triple wavy lines (three waves stacked vertically) represented sacred water—springs, underground rivers, or the water of Mokosh’s domain. This glyph marked sacred wells and bathing sites.
Diamonds:
A diamond shape (square rotated 45 degrees) represented earth, soil, the womb of Mokosh. This glyph appeared on agricultural tools (plows, hoes), on seed containers (blessing the grain), and on fertility amulets.
Nested diamonds (a small diamond inside a larger diamond) represented layers of earth, the deep soil where roots grow and where the dead are buried. This glyph appeared on grave markers and on boundary stones marking the transition between the world of the living and the realm of ancestors.
The Tree:
A stylized tree—a vertical line with horizontal branches extending symmetrically—represented the World Tree, the axis connecting sky, earth, and underworld. This glyph appeared on sacred posts, on household shrines, and on genealogical markers (representing the family tree).
