Subject: What if the Geomantic Symbols were the Seven Seraphs?

I know this is probably way off and I'm getting ahead of myself here but if you wish to hear my short explanation for this, thank you. Credit to Hylebos.

We can see that there are no Seven Seraphs "faction" shirts in the Bungie Store (also true for Osiris, so maybe there's something else there) but this led me to thinking. We don't really have any confirmation of anything in terms of what is what in the world of Destiny so why couldn't they be the seven Geomantic symbols?

The definition of a seraph is an angelic being, belonging to the highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy. So, why couldn't these Geomantic symbols that are (for now) regarded as being 7 different recognizable things in our solar system (Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn)... Thoughts?

I've been here a decent amount of time to know you're all crazy

Could be. I like the thought

If I am not posting, then I am reading what you might have posted.

That sounds interesting. Makes sense to me. There is a chance of what you are saying is true, but there is also a chance that it is unlikely. In any case, I like what you got here.

In Bungie's upcoming game named, for now, Destiny, there are speculated to be different factions that you can join. The game takes place in space and there have been a lot of space-oriented tidbits along the way that have been given to us by Bungie.

Two pieces of the speculation are the Geomantic symbols that are linked in my OP and an apparent "faction" called The Seven Seraphs. The Seven Seraphs seemed to me like a weird name for a faction (why limit it to 7) so I thought that the 7 Geomantic Symbols could have something to do with the Seven Seraphs because of what they mean in celestial terms.

You're doing it wrong Lobster.

- "Cross of Iron"

I figured it out. They basically say you must follow the path to unite everyone, that there is a coming time of war and misfortune, and that Joyeuse is imprisoned.

Sorry shark, but no one has it figured out.

I came into this thread expecting nothing more.

Thank you Hylebos.

OT: I'm surprised no one has really solved the puzzle yet.

I think the OP is onto something..only time will tell! All these questions...I can't handle it!

I like the theory.

7 shows up so much with Bungie it can be hard to tell when they are connected, and when they are just isolated things involving 7.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

...What would be the name of the eighth one?
OT: I like the thought.

READ IT.

I won the Star. With this on Week 18.

Yah know...

I think we will see dragons... we will see a boy and a girl... we will see the PEOPLE.

I am going by the other Geomancy symbols... and what they individually mean...

I really like this theory, it actually makes sense, unlike most of the other theories.

The theory could fit. The symbols not only refer to celestial bodies like stars and planets, but also to specific angels.

Via: Gabriel, Muriel
Conjunctio: Raphael, Hamaliel
Amissio: Anael, Asmodel
Fortuna Minor: Michael, Verchiel
Rubeus: Samael, Barbiel
Laetitia: Sachiel, Barchiel
Carcer: Cassiel, Hanael

If they symbolized one of the seven it would explain the lack of an eighth symbol.

I broke one of the cords for my X11s because I couldn't get past the final American course in Doritos Crash Course.

Maybe there's another two factions that haven't been announced (or trademarked yet) and each symbol represents a faction. Maybe we find out about the other two factions when we solve the puzzle.....but probably not.

Maybe it's a play on words, and they're actually Serifs.

THEN I GUESS THE GEOMANTIC SYMBOLS WOULD BE THE SEVEN SERAPHS!

What if we were able to make real topics?
