Obtaining Your Symbols

There's much flexibility on how to get your symbols for most of the "games of meaning." Below are some options. Or, you may have a way of your own that you prefer.

• Explore the land – Having Star Journey on a landscape in Second Life allows you to walk around and come upon things, like a real journey. And don't forget what's in the sky! Find what you need (1 to 4 symbols) simply by exploring. 

• Use the random generator – Each of the 12 Gateway Art Galleries has a Circle Pattern orb that is a random generator for obtaining symbols. More on this method below. We recommend going to a Gallery whose theme fits with your question or topic, but you can use any you want.

• Pick spots on the chart – Point to a spot on the Circle Pattern chart. Take note of its number, and find it on the list in the Gardens. Do this for as many symbols as needed for a game.

• Choose symbols from a list – As an option, you can consciously choose the symbols you want, then learn more about them from the interpretation process. Use the Garden Symbol Locator to find the symbols you resonate with.

Using the Circle Pattern Orb

When clicked, the orb will offer you an object which is a randomly generated symbol card. Click Accept to save object to Inventory. Then find it in the Objects folder. You can Wear or Add this object in order to see its information. It will appear in the center of your screen.

The symbol objects have 3 faces – the Picture side, Word Side and Level side. Click on image to change faces. The level side indicates which Level of Consciousness the symbol is part of. More about the meaning of Levels is given in Interpreting Symbols.

And, be sure to visit the Symbol out on the island, and there get more in touch with its special message for you. Most symbols are found in one of the Gardens, so refer to the Garden Locator list below. TP to the Garden hub, then explore until you come upon your symbol on the land.
