This is my time first here and first post so I apologize if I'm asking this question in the wrong place. I have a feeling I might get somewhere here though.
For years I've been a superfan of the music band The Mars Volta and I'm intrigued by their extremely detailed and mysterious artwork. I came across this somewhat simple image today and I am SO curious what these symbols represent and where they come from. The more I "research", the more I'm drawn in and want to know more, but I want to make sure I'm reading the correct thing or on the right path at least. I've never heard of Mysticism or anything close to or relating to it until this past hour so I hope my ignorance hasn't offended anyone. Thanks so much!
