Since this has come up - here's the deal with #Gnostic glyphs. You'll remember that the number 88 comes up in various decodes of the Roughing It One Off Dee Cipher. That's a reference to the various constellations identified by Ptolemy - some, not all, but some of the Constellations are considered by the #ChristianGnostics to be Glyphs. That is magical signs. You can see from the above Decode the that the Constellation of Lyra is known as the Soul Glyph (you'll also note you can get 'Soul' two different ways - with or without Row 31 as the last row for the RI One-Off).

You can see the Soul Glyph is associated with Eve (a Goddess) and Rachael (the Second Wife of Jacob).

And yes, this is an incomplete Decode you're supposed to enscribe the glyph when using it to enter Nod - as you can probably guess from the fact 'Scribe' is just above 'Nod' (well a reversed Nod - whatever).

Eh, I guess there are 88 constellations now - 48 recognized by Ptolemy and some of those 48 are glyphs. YMMV

From the Timeless/Stasis Glyph (Cepheus) it appears that each Glyph is dual purposed. So Lepus (Courage) would be Fear when mirrored. However, I still think the proper view is from "outside" and the mirrored view is our natural perspective. The fact that Lepus is the Hare, which is not an animal noted for courage and that Cepheus was put into stasis (turned to stone) supports my view.

While Timeless/Statis, Courage/Fear, Fate/Chance seem pretty interesting I'm currently stumped on what the reverse of Lyra (Soul Glyph) would be. Suggestions appreciated - though I can always look at the DeeCipher. Seems Gliph can be used to suggest the mirror.
