I'm working on sort of system to add intentions to spells and such.
A combination of the symbols adds that intention and energy.
Triangle means it's for someone else
Upside down triangle means it's for me
The twig is health
The double v is love
The rings are connections or relationships
The double bracket is money (it should be legs down, but I was sketching and wanted to fit it in the bottom line)
So the large symbol above is my symbol for my love, health and relationships to be protected (the circle).

“Darling, darling. I live in you, and you would die for me. I love you so.”
