Does anyone know symbols for or anything that represents strength?

Question

I'm looking for a symbol or something that I represents strength. To remind me that the I'm responsible for myself and I'm self sufficient, don't need anyone to make it on my own, etc. A friend of mine said to check on Eastern Philosophy but I didn't see anything. Does anyone have anything or suggestions of where I could look? I want something unique.

Answer 1

"I'm responsible for myself and I'm self sufficient, don't need anyone to make it on my own"

If this is true, go find your own symbol.

EDIT:

I have found a lot of symbols. My latest find is the Chinese dragon, which may or may not be my "secret sign" in Chinese astrology. Check this one, for example:

I have also found that symbols often complement one another. As the philosopher Nietzsche said, the truth may be able to stand on one leg, but it can only walk, run, and dance on (at least) two. The Eastern astrological signs correspond to the Western ones, and I've found that they often shed light on one another. Thus Aquarius in Western astrology is the Tiger in Eastern astrology, so if you've always wondered what the heck an Aquarius was, you may find that the Tiger symbol is much more enlightening.

Numbers are also very direct and expressive symbols, and the numbers of numerology correspond to the Zodiac signs, though my personal association table is different from the traditional one. If you'd like to know more just message me.

Answer 2

Expanding a bit on the rune theme, another rune, "tyr", from the armanen futhork, represents Mars energy. Astrologically, that is the planet representing physical energy and power. Plus it's shape is quite "arrow like", pointing upward.

Another possibility might be "gibor", the final rune in that system. It represents, among other things, spiritual connection and "power".

If you'd care to learn more about these two runes, or about the entire "futhork" see http://www.magitech.com/runes/ Quite intriguing!! :)))

Answer 3

Hi
I'm an artist with an imagination. Tell me some things about yourself. things that are good and positive and powerful. And I may come up with a symbel that matches your personality.
I would ask for something in trade. Tell me what you have you are willing to part with. I just thought you might want something that would be good for a tatoo. Something small but powerful that fits your personality.
God Bless. [e-mail]

Answer 4

When I use symbols, I like the runes. They not only represent emotions or qualities you want, but you can also form words using their alphabet.

Uruz is the rune for strength. "The power it represents is not one of domination but of determination" http://www.runes.info/pieces/runepiece10.htm
Kenaz also brings strength, as well as self-confidence and willpower. http://www.midnightmoonchild.com/moonchildsixthrunepage.html

Many things come to mind. you could take the yin and yang symbolism; since its the marriage of left and right- female and male- emotion and intellect- etc. When you are in balance and check your heart and mind both at the same time you are empowered.
