About this symbol
The visible outline can be described as “torch or flame.” This motif can support compositions about ancient Egypt, temple art, memory, sacred order, and the relationship between people and natural cycles. Its precise meaning depends on period, inscription, and neighboring signs. Because the source SVG has no museum attribution or verified Gardiner code, this entry describes the image rather than claiming a literal hieroglyphic translation. Occult reading: Hermetic and Egyptian-revival magic may use this motif as an image of initiation, protection, rebirth, and the alignment of personal will with the cosmic order of Ma’at. This is a modern esoteric interpretation and may differ from the historical meaning of a hieroglyph.
