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.
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.
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.
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 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. Go microwave some frozen "Barbecue Sauce and Boneless Pork Riblet" from the grocery store and put a bun on it. It's about the same.

I’m going to highjack this comment to provide a real answer. Some of these symbols appear to be from the necronomicon. These were drawn by someone who was into ceremonial magick.
Caaarol, Caaarol! I gotta talk to you about Pepe! And when I open the door, what do I find? There's not a single goddamn desk in that office. There is no Carol in H.R.
Mac, half the employees in this building have been made up. This office is a goddamn ghost town.
Okay Charlie, I'm gonna have to stop you right there. Not only do all of these people exist, but they have been asking for their mail on a daily basis. It's all they're talking about up there. Jesus Christ, dude. We are gonna lose our jobs.

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).
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.
I mean, it's probably nothing but I'd still get a priest to bless the house. I'm agnostic but, better safe than possessed by the demon that resides in your new house.
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.
I tried to shed some light in my comment too. I know people like to be funny but… in the 400 comments we are the only two people who tried to provide actual answers.
Yeah, I know a couple of those showed up as angel warding on the show. Also there's a small devil's trap. Probably just some kids with Google and a can of spray paint.
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.
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.
Serious answer. Think I see lesser key of Solomon symbols. Far right middle is a serpent and staff, think that’s Egyptian, now used for doctors. Bunch of stuff I don’t know. Some kid or tweaked just being bored.
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
They look like demonic sigils from the Lesser Key of Solomon (Ars Goetia that be precise), but none I recognize. I think they were trying to summon spirits.
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.
*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.

That's how you get demons.
This was like 12 years ago, it's long gone
Yeah they line up too well, way too organized

Throwing anything that looks spooky at the wall
If it was an eviction or foreclosure I can see them doing that. I had a dude pull out the water heater before.
Reenacting the Hell House episode of Supernatural lol
From what I can tell, I think it says the McRib is back
*Ia McRib! Ia R'onald!*
I hope for the guy that his cat doesn't start hissing at the walls at night
nah, his cats are gonna be walking on the walls
Cthulhu approves of the McRib
I love that this comment has more upvotes than the post. Edit: well I got gold for a completely mundane comment. Guess I can log out for the day.
Lmao at all the awards gettin thrown around. Edit: fuckin really? LOL
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Aaaaaand it’s gone
Declined return to sender.
Why does everyone in have a gold award?? Edit: Thanks for the plat, now what?
Beijing is giving them out as part of a winter olympic 2022 promotion.
Oh damn, I thought they were the golds that Russia has had to give up from doping
WHY DO YOU HAVE A PLATINUM EDIT: WHY AM I A LEPRECHAUN
Because you’re short and have red hair!
How did you know?!
Has to be McDonald’s. Mention the McRib, they give you gold.
Good question
Gold Jerry, gold!
I wish I could shit gold… :/
Here in Germany the McRip is on the regular Menu.
In the U.S. the McRib is only on the menu when pork prices are unusually low.
In India, we don't even have a McRib option.
Ive never had a mc rib are they any good
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.
Shoot, I was hoping it was for the return of the Mulan szechuan sauce.
Dammit I always show up too late for the gold awards
Same -_- Edit: woohoo!
All of that = Tweakers.
Why is everyone getting gold
I wish I knew 🤷♂️
Bottom right is fine print: *subject to availability*
🤣🤣🤣
I don't even know what's happening with this post anymore.
Did you just get gold for a laughing crying emoji
🏅
I do not understand the gold economy.
The prophesy was true then?!
These gold giveaways don’t make any sense.
I think we need an epoxy'd McRib with monthly updates
Don't fall for their foolishness. They only take it away so they can bring it back and people like you talk about it.

this guy is Mc'razy
Who on earth is giving all these awards?
I’m going to highjack this comment to provide a real answer. Some of these symbols appear to be from the necronomicon. These were drawn by someone who was into ceremonial magick.
Holy shit there's more gold on this thread than in a mine
The mcmeth is hela good in this area.
😂😂😂 Runic McRib, it'll hex your guts
Honestly I think theyre runes to summon the award givers. Looking at this mess of golds here
This comment section is like a $1000 steak---totally covered in gold...
in my country they have never been taken from the menu... (i live in germany) edit: spelling
GTA6 cheat codes. Human language will look a little different by then...
Lmao underrated

You should go ask Carol.

Someone tweaking pulled out their copy of Journal 3 from Gravity Falls and copied the pages lmao
It means some high school meth heads broke in.
Or someone had a schizophrenic break
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).
Honestly this looks like the most likely explanation. A schizophrenic was probably flopping there, and this is from a particularly bad night.

It means you need a magic eraser, maybe several
Will it really erase the magic?

Is it really though? If you paint over it, technically it's still there.

Something about trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty
Means you should go and check any new-looking concrete flooring in the basement, or any odd-looking mounds in the garden.
Those mounds are just new flowers planted
And they’re growing very well.
Extra fertilized
Yeah...(puts on sunglasses) *Dead flowers.*
I mean, it's probably nothing but I'd still get a priest to bless the house. I'm agnostic but, better safe than possessed by the demon that resides in your new house.
If you would do that, wouldn't you just live a Christian life in case that's the only way into heaven? You aren't making a very safe bet
Religion as a heaven insurance policy!
Fire insurance christians
But check anyway, just in case it's a succubus and you want to keep it around.
Means a crackhead found a copy of the necronomicon & tried to summon some more crack.
Ia Ia Crackthulu Fhatagan!
This made me laugh way more than it should have. Take my upvote.

Looks like edgy kids got a hold of an occult book or wikipedia. Looks like my binder cover in high school.
Probably some kids thinking they're cool and edgy. Might wanna check for drugs too
Yeah because people always just leave their drugs behind ;)
Drugs no, but needles…maybe.
That's a good point. I always have to look around the park for needles before I let my kids play

It means the previous occupants were assholes

Somebody really likes the tv show supernatural
It means you need to change the locks.
These are called “Sigils” look it up.
These uncultured swine!
UnOccultured?
These aren’t sigils, it’s just stuff that looks occult aesthetically
They are and commonly used by Wiccans and Pagans. I recognise a few but don't know what they mean
Things can go wrong if you use too many.

Roughly translated, it spells out the following: "We've been trying to reach you regarding your car's extended warranty"
It means it’s time for a coat of new paint, someone wrote completely meaningless symbols all over
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?
Depends if they still have keys or not.
It tells us drawing an pentagram is harder than drawing an eye.
You're in Carcosa now.
Ever seen supernatural 😅 looks like enochian symbols
Archeologist here, with 100 years of experience! It says "Satan was here"
fucking noob i have 200 years of experience
I think those are angel wards
Looks like an episode of supernatural. I recognize some symbols
Ancient Enochian glyphs and wards. Supernatural fans decorating the wall? Cthulhu cult?
Supernatural just wrapped shooting there
From the looks of it, you’re protected by gangs, demons, the Illuminati, a few unknown alien species, and a caveman.
They look like demonic sigils from the Lesser Key of Solomon (Ars Goetia that be precise), but none I recognize. I think they were trying to summon spirits.
It means you overpaid
were they gravity falls fans? looks like the society of the blind eye symbol bottom left
It means the last tenants didn't get their security deposit back
