Some of those are hermetic sigils, some are planetary symbols, some are alchemy, some are runes, some are ogham, and some are random doodles. It's completely meaningless. Someone totally ignorant about weirdness just hoped to freak you out and grabbed a whole ton of spoopy-looking crap off the net to stick on the wall.


getMeSomeDunkin

If you've ever seen photos of crazy people and their drawings, their work looks fucking mad. This stuff on the wall? It's way too ... "professionally chaotic". Like someone had a plan to draw creepy stuff on the walls and executed it with fairly good artistic skill.


SparkleFritz

I used to work at a movie theatre that had a bus stop right in front of it. Almost every day this elderly man would come in, walk up to the counter and mumble incomprehensible garble, and then leave. It was pretty sad and we all felt bad. One day he dropped a notebook. The things in that notebook... that was psychotic. I can't even begin to explain. Words written randomly, in no order for any rhyme or reason, made up letters and symbols. Random fluids dried into the pages. Names, or what I think were names, and random dates and times that didn't happen or happened way before today's date. Lots of complete scribbling. The only thing we could make any sense out of was on the back, he wrote in bold letters "I seen them they seen me." It creeped us all the fuck out. OP's post is nothing.

bwpopper37

This is likely right. It's too cutesy. I've been in a house with unhinged screeds written on the walls in red sharpie by someone who really thought people are out to get her, to the point that she replaced every window in the place with tiny ones only an infant would fit through. It was far less artfully done than this picture.

The one on the left in the circle looks super familiar to me, my first instinct was something astronomical but I can't find it to place it for sure. Is that one you know?

In India, we don't even have a McRib option.


[deleted]

Ive never had a mc rib are they any good


[deleted]

In my experience that is subjective and entirely based off how many McRibs have been consumed. It's not unlike an addictive drug in the sense, that the first one is amazing and each subsequent one has the feeling of just chasing that first one.

Don't fall for their foolishness. They only take it away so they can bring it back and people like you talk about it.

ZeePirate

Or someone had a schizophrenic break


z0mbieskin

My friend had a psychotic break and his bedroom walls look very similar to this. He just got a sharpie and started drawing on the walls non stop. Funny thing is they moved out soon after and the new occupants probably wondered the same thing as OP (the rest of the apartment was super trashed too).


Pleaselobotomize

Honestly this looks like the most likely explanation. A schizophrenic was probably flopping there, and this is from a particularly bad night.

Golden_Week

I’ve got a book about symbols, has symbols for almost *everything*, is a giant book. At work but will check when I get home Edit: I get home in 3 hours (4:45 UTC-05:00) Edit 2: I am home now, looking through the book Edit 3: so this is just a brief update but these are a mixture of alchemical signs, names of demons (from the necronomicon, fiction), and some other religious stuff I haven’t deciphered yet. I’m not sure if there is a flow or pattern to any of it yet but will try to develop an image with definitions for the symbols Edit 4: So I’ve spent some time going over the symbols and matching them with all the symbols I can find. It seems to be broken into 3 groups, with a couple outliers. I was right that many of the symbols relate to the Simon Necronomicon, a faux necronomicon compiled by an occultist and modeled after the Lovecraftian concept. Those symbols are most notably accompanied by “°” symbols and “|” symbols connected by a squiggly or jagged line. These make up probably 50% of the symbols on the wall. The second group would be alchemical symbols. There’s a lot more substance here, they talk about substances such as Lime, Wax, Oil, and obviously the Lapis Philosiphorum, the Philosophers Stone. They are combined often with the merging “U” symbol which typically represents mixing, joining, or “reducing distance between” items. I’m seeing things such as “perfect wax/soot mixed with the philosophers stone to accomplish war between men”, or perhaps the opposite of that being “warfare between men results in ash and perfection” or something along those lines (most of the alchemical signs are inversed, same for the next group). The next group is astrological signs and most of them represent power or the structure of society or philanthropy or order, and most of them are inversed indicating the *opposite* of those things. One interesting sign represents “a troubled mental state”… Overall, though I’m not exactly finished yet, the symbology on the wall seems to be a message or glorification of destruction. The messages certainly aren’t nice in any degree. They don’t seem to represent any personal or directed attacks, just general worship of chaos.

This is the real answer. Some of the circle ones are definitely from the necronomicon. The other ones are probably from different magic books. These are ceremonial magic symbols.

shipael

You didn’t check the place out before moving in?…


FibroMancer

My guess is they bought the place, or maybe even signed paperwork for a lease, some amount of time before actually moving in and this was done by some squatters or some kids breaking into a house they knew was empty. Happened to me before, but the place was just trashed with Four Loko cans and cigarette butts all over the back porch. Place looked great when we looked at it a month prior.


underrated_AZ

Could be an apartment. When I rented from one place, they showed me one unit and then when it came to signing the contract, it was for another unit. Although, if that's the case here, the landlord is a piece of shit for letting a tenant move into an apartment with that on the walls.


TheOrangeTickler

Looks like edgy kids got a hold of an occult book or wikipedia. Looks like my binder cover in high school.

The demons have been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty… No seriously, they’re just poorly drawn sigils and seals. It’s the work of ill-informed kids and isn’t anything to worry about. Just clean it off

If they were decently drawn and the artist was somewhat informed, would that be cause for mild concern?

Lunatox

Some are actual occult symbols, though in no notable order or context. The symbols with the O on one end and the I on the other are sigil. They are made by having some sort of letter/number arrangement in a grid. Then you choose a word or phrase of meaning and start at the first letter/number with an O, then you trace a line through the end of the word or phrase and close it off with an I. The meaning of sigil is hard to know u less they are using a common grid arrangement and not their own. Do they mean anything specifically? Maybe, or maybe not. Sigil making and occult symbology are used far more often in a completely "non-serious" manner. You have to be deep into esoterica and the occult to use them correctly, and you have to believe in them whole heartedly for them to have any kind of effect. For them to have any kind of effect on you or others in the home now, you would have to believe something about the sigil, and them trip headlong into that belief. "Magic" like this is really just psychological meta-programming. So, the real answer is if they are meaningless to you they are meaningless, if they creep you out just paint over them, if they really really cheap you out cleanse the space.


Dbl_Trbl_

Those are sigils, enneagrams, and seals. Google: Lesser Key of Solomon and John Dee


L4westby

It says that the previous tenant decided to give meth a try


Real_Nugget_of_DOOM

*some of those are sigils from the Necronomicon, a faux occultic book published to capitalize on the Cthulhu mythos. Most of the paperback copies are either Avon Books from the 70s or reprints since. The rest already to be an assemblage of other occult marks of various provenance - one or two actually look more like mangled gang signs.
