Awesome! I posted a thread on twitter a few minutes ago with the help of a few mutuals and I’d like to share some of our findings too!
Beleth also rides a pale horse, and all kinds of music is heard before him (hmmm does it ring any bells?👀). When someone makes a pact to get Beleth’s powers they must pay some tribute to the demon, like wearing silver rings (on the exact fingers and hand that Copia wears them )
Bune is very interesting and we can find some possible references to him in past merch designs! Like the Graveyard Tee, which features Copia calling forth the spirits of the dead in a lonely graveyard.
There’s also the Skeletal Prayers Crewneck showing Copia conjuring a host of skeletons in worship.
How could this be related to Bune? Well, Bune can move the bodies of the dead in and out of tombs and burial chambers, and his legions of spirits tend to gather in cemeteries, graves, and other burial sites 👻💀
There’s also the symbol of the Antichrist. Copia was represented with the same mark in the illustration of the backdrop during the Metallica tour. It also looks a lot like Damien’s birthmark in “The Omen” (we know TF loves the movie).
Tria Principia: Salt: it’s everything external, the visible, the physical, the solid; the Body; it’s crystallized, materialized energy. Mercury: it represents the Soul, but also the mind and emotions. Sulphur: it has always been associated with fire (confirmed by the triangle of the fire element present in its symbol); in this case it refers to the Holy Fire, to our Spirit, to our Divine Essence.
Tudor Rose: Aphrodite introduced a rose to her son Eros, god of love. The rose became a symbol of love and desire. Eros gave the rose to Harpocrates, to induce him not to gossip about his mother’s indiscretions. In this way the rose became the emblem of silence and secrecy. Also in the Middle Age a rose would be thrown from the roof of the council of the chamber, committing everyone present to keep the secret, or sub Rosa, “under the rose”. (I’m not sure about this one, but my twitter mutual @general_amidala talked about this).
And finally Linkoping’s lion, a symbol of the city
Feel free to add more info or correct anything! I wonder what role those symbols will play in the lore (I’m particularly hoping that at least some of them will be related to the ghouls/ghoulettes, but we shall wait and see 👀)
