This seems to be mainly Wiccan symbols, although the page is a Pagan symbols page. The best to do would be to type into a search engine - Pagan symbols and see what you get.

There are many symbols associated with paganism, as paganism is an umbrella term for many religous paths that claim roots in the pre-Christian era. Most common are the pentacle and for Heathenry, based on the Norse traditions, it is a Thor's Hammer. Please check the links below for more reading on these and other Pagan symbols.

in case you prefer an undemanding image like a crucifix then Mjolnir (Þorr's hammer) or Gungnir (Oðinn's spear) have been trouble-free amulets worn in pre-Christian cases and have been recent in many graves. The Valknut, 3 interlocking triangles, represents the 9 Worlds and how they're all joined. Norse Heathenry is fairly talismanic and has a extensive variety of symbolism while it includes Gods. The boar Gullinbursti is an emblem of Freyr and on statues of this boar (a actual boar in the past its sacrifice and cooking in the previous days) we swear our oaths for the recent 3 hundred and sixty 5 days on the final day of yuletide. Cats characterize Freya as they pull her chariot. Ravens, wolves and Sleipnir are for Oðinn. A drop spindle and distaff are symbols of Frigge. Yggdrasil is an ash Tree and is generally represented by an Irminsul. The Runes have religious meanings different than their "alphabetic" meanings and can be mixed into "bind runes" for particular or greater complicated meanings. the main extensively acknowledged image of Norse Heathenry is Mjolnir, and for Anglo-Saxon Heathenry it incredibly is Irminsul. Waes Hael!

The Cross.
Pre-Christian Cross usage - “The shape of the [two-beamed cross] had its origin in ancient Chaldea, and was used as the symbol of the god Tammuz (being in the shape of the mystic Tau, the initial of his name) in that country and in adjacent lands, including Egypt. By the middle of the 3rd cent. A.D. the churches had either departed from, or had travestied, certain doctrines of the Christian faith. In order to increase the prestige of the apostate ecclesiastical system pagans were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols. Hence the Tau or T, in its most frequent form, with the cross-piece lowered, was adopted to stand for the cross of Christ.”—An Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words (London, 1962), W. E. Vine, p. 256.

The most obvious symbol to paganism is weekly celebrated on Sunday. This day was worshiped by Sun Pagans but was adopted by Christians so more people would accept the newly founded religion. I believe it would have been in Constantine's times.

It depends on what you mean by paganism which is generally defined as any of the non-Abrahamic religions so anything other than Christianity, Judaism and Islam. You will have to be more specific.

The pentacle is a pagan symbol, as are the swastika and the crucifix.

The most common are the Pentagram and the "sun cross", an equi-armed cross with or without a circle around it.
