The Glyphs

gabrieltaft • 27 April 2013 at 12:50 AM

Hey guys, I just wanted to share with you a side project I have been developing for a year called the Umiian Glyphs. They are modern day Hieroglyphics that are meant to empower.

You can check them out at Umiian.com or Theglyphs.com

Also, if you post your birthday month and day I can tell you your birth glyph and what it means 😊

Your month will correspond to your element. Your day will correspond to your Glyph

There are six possible elements: Air, Light, Earth, Life, Water, Spirit.

There are 26 possible Glyphs. Those you will have to wait and see.

Once you know your Element/Glyph you can look up what they look like on the website above!

It looks awesome 😃

My birthday month is December 28th, by the way ^^

@himitsutenshin wow I totally missed this post.

December 28th is the Spirit Eye.

Spirit represents planning ahead. Taking time to take all you have learned and prepare yourself to take the next step and choose the next journey for your life.

The eye represents awareness and encourages you to look at all the opportunities that surround you to choose the best one to pursue. It means being aware in the present and taking in your environment.

@gabrieltaft Wow, this looks pretty interesting! Can I ask how you got into this sort of thing and how you learnt it all? 😱

My birthday is December 11th, by the way. c:

@Karamel

Thank you 😊 I just started because I wanted to make a bead trade game and then I needed a secret language so I started researching and drawing symbols and it really just evolved over the course of a year and a half 😉.

December 11th is the Spirit Stone.

Spirit represents the end of a cycle and planning for the next stage in your life. It encourages you to take the lessons you have learned so far to make better decisions going forward.

Stone represents your foundation and Strength. It reminds you to constantly search your self and life for cracks and weaknesses. To face and over come them so you can be a stronger person for your self and those in your life.

@Ivy24 You are the Spirit Key.

wow, so far everyone has been spirits. Spirit as I said above, represents the end of one Faze and the beginning of another. It encourages you to build each cycle you go into bigger than the last. So that a few cycles down the road you can be at a much better place than you expected.

The key is your curiosity and encourages you to find new ways to unlock doors that seemed locked to you. Sometimes you need to step back and try something from another angle.

Your Sign is the Air Notes.

Air symbolizes all the opportunity that surrounds you. All of the possible options that present themselves to you and it challenges you to become more aware of what kind of opportunities are open to you and contemplating which one would be best for you.

Notes represent your emotion and the emotion in other people. Just like the way music can change a person's mood you can also change a person's mood by the way you bring yourself to them. Are you bringing positivity or Negativity. You can bring them up or down. Being aware of this cause and effect is what the notes represents.
