I can't believe there were actually people who hadn't already tumbled to this.\\ _Ikselam

To be fair, as the original poster said, they aren't exactly as straightforwardly pictograpic as the Solar ones. Lots of people might know the symbols for Mars and Venus, they just don't know they're the symbols for Mars and Venus.\\

Unfortunately, not everyone had a childhood introduction to Bullfinch's Mythology. A shame, but not unforseeable. -Kicker

Do we really need to archive this? - Raindoll

Why not? The wiki has space for it. -HeWhoSpeaksOfDarkness

When White Wolf picked up the license to do an Everquest pen & paper game, one of the questions they most often took the time to answer in interviews and sneak peaks was "How will you handle monsters respawning?" I'd say that working familiarity with the symbology of the inner planets is a whole lot harder to tumble to than...I dunno, how RPGs, like, work? - Kicker

Dude, it's symbolism, not symbology. Never seen Boondock Saints, I take it ^_~ -EndlessChase

what exacly is the diference between symbolism and symbology? -HeWhoSpeaksOfDarkness

Symbolism is the usage of symbols; symbology is the study thereof. - willows the word guy

I take it EndlessChase is an expert at nameology, too, then. Odin
