One thing i noticed as well in the room full of eyes, and scribbling...If you look at the eyes, and in the middle....It really reminds me of the Incubus's shape, and outline..The final boss...Some Foreshadowing there.
The ring of contract relates to Saturn, which rules over duties and contracts. Any real magician that works with demons, has to have a circle(which is ruled by Saturn) to bind and therby control the demon. Saturn's energy is where we exercise self discipline and control. Where we control our impulses. That same energy is used to control demons that are invoked. The meaning behind the whole ring is that of a wedding ring, that binds you to your husband or wife. It implies the girl invoking demons of her own in a creative yet childish ways and controlling them with creative yet childish ways.
I always got the impression that Alessa was basically grabbing any and everything that might magically protect her, an attempt at an eclectic shield from the magic of Silent Hill, like a door being barricaded by throwing whatever's in the room in front of it.
It is likely that no mistake was made in the design of the crest of mercury, seeing how careful and precise the designers were with the implementation of alchemical symbols throughout this game. So it would more likely have only one snake on its shaft due to the symbolic masculine properties that Harry Mason represents. It’s worth noting that the central position of mercury in alchemical transcendence is symbolic of the joining and therefore completion of the 7 alchemical symbols or stages, uniting the feminine & masculine energies (represented by the twin snakes rising upwards, as seen with the kundalini, and finally gaining the wings of the falcon), creating the ascended wholeness and oneness of God within. Many aspects of the wholeness of God within is directly related to Egyptian and Greek religious beliefs, which were incorporated within the hermetic, alchemical sciences~ Interestingly, Hathor 𓁥 (In ancient Egyptian - Medew Neter as ‘Hwthwr.’) Is the cow Neter most prominently known as the mother goddess. Heather being a modern variant of Hwthwr~
What i like about these videos is that it makes things that i didnt take much notice off to pay full attention and see the games in a much brighter light. Thanks muse!
Whited Out What do you mean? I’m referring to the dimension that Harry and Heather experience in the final level of their journey through Silent Hill. Fog World, Otherworld. And “Nowhere” seems to be a deeper and darker destination.
Please do more silent Hill videos!!! Maybe do symbolism of some of the (less popular) monsters in some of the games. God knows I can find hundreds of pyramid head, lying figures and nurses videos. Love your voice too! Very relaxing!
Great video as always! I’d love to see one about Alessa and her projection. I never understood if that was Alessa in the wheelchair at the end of the game and when Cheryl and Alessa reunited.
Harry sees alessa where cheryl is, burnt allesa is in the wheelchair. Harry sees beyond because he was tricked into doing the ritual and sees her asteral projection.
Wow the original 3 silent hill games had so much thought put into every little detail this is why I find the lore of them so fascinating even after all these years.
You're right that I accidentally said points when it doesn't have seven points, but it does have seven spaces, which is what my text was referring to: the six spaces in the points, and the seventh space in the empty middle.
Hello Gaming Muse I have seen many of your Silent Hill Symbolism videos. Many of the symbols I have seen in the book of Dark Magic Ars Goetia the 72 demons of King Solomon. Or the official title The Lesser Key of Solomon Goetia the Book of Evil Spirits. The Flauros artifact is named after one of them. I got interested in it because of the game persona 5 and managed to get the book off a youtube video. Many names seem familiar with Silent Hill . Maybe this will help you on your journey. And also help everyone understand Silent Hill better.
just to touch on the symbolic meaning of the snake. Snakes also killed rats and rodents which carried diseases. by killing the rats, the diseases they carried couldnt spread so thats also another reason why the snake is a symbol in medicine to this day.
Glad to meet you in stream yesterday you’re so cute; kinda felt like meeting a celebrity && I usually don’t get nervous lol . Keep doing what you do. #hugefan ❤️
I don't know why... but I always tought the Dagger of Melchior is a tiny reference to Chrono Trigger... ok, I know there's no proof and the games are not related in ANY WAY. But... being the most "misterious" item in the game... The blade in Chrono Trigger was called Ruby Knife... and belonged to Melchior... and was also used to stop a monster (mammon machine / Lavos)...
Thank you for teaching me about the caduceus. Along with all these other neat symbols. It really helps explain Caduceus Clay from Critical Role. ^///^;
Is that not a symbol of the sword of Damocles, the fear that comes with the power. Only its the knife is the horses hair in this inverted otherworldly metaphor given form. Does the eyes in crayon not represent allesa's vision of Samael watching her judgingly.
Too bad the Silent Hill franchise is dead. If they bring it back someday and that's a big if I hope list of game be a combination of all the games or least first four games.

For a moment, I thought this was gonna talk about the hole that isn't there anymore in SH2
It's not there anymore though?
Its GONE now.

the reference to wedding rings is really interesting
Putting on the Ring kept the demon form taking control of Laura Palmer too. Just more Lynch references in a Silent Hill video for ya' XD
And that's why in the afterlife Sandworms on Saturn guard the dead, keeping them in their proper places...
But CREEEEEEPY stuff happens in noweah.....
@Rin I'm just glad people got the reference lol.
.....and its up to Courage to save his new home *banjo music plays*

Can you do a video based on just “nowhere “ itself?
Whited Out What do you mean? I’m referring to the dimension that Harry and Heather experience in the final level of their journey through Silent Hill. Fog World, Otherworld. And “Nowhere” seems to be a deeper and darker destination.
Nowhere is the construct of Dark Allesa. Made from shattered memories.
I'd love to know the meanings behind the names chosen for the doors and keys in Nowhere. "Phaleg," "Ophiel," "Hagith," "Bethor," "Aratron," etc.
Please do more silent Hill videos!!! Maybe do symbolism of some of the (less popular) monsters in some of the games. God knows I can find hundreds of pyramid head, lying figures and nurses videos. Love your voice too! Very relaxing!

Like silent hill alot and your videos inspired me to make a game like silent hill.
Wow the original 3 silent hill games had so much thought put into every little detail this is why I find the lore of them so fascinating even after all these years.
Another great video. The asclepius/cadeceus thing always bothered me, thanks for taking the time to explain the difference!
Even documentaries of silent hill carry the atmosphere of silent hill
I love this channel so much ! So good that silent hill youtubers still exists ! You’re the best one !!!
Sounds like someone is doing an Autopsy voice over impression. Fucking amazing.
God I love your intro plus all your videos are just interesting and very good
I love the dedication you have towards those games.
Great vid. And great Work!
I love your videos, keep going.

Cant thank you enough for doing this. You are a gem.
Really in dept, as always. Your content never ceases to amaze me!

MisterJar I do!
I love when they go deep into SH, I just can't get enough. Fan for life
a hexagram doesn't have 7 points and 7 spaces...'hex' 6, star of david=6.
the HEPtagram in alchemy is what you are talking about. 'hep' or 'sept' =7

IIrc the etymology of "nowhere" comes from the word for paradise.
Great video!
Cool vid miss the Silent Hill series

I'm amazed how well-researched those Japanese devs are on Western religious mysticism and mythology
Ey Muse, which one of the items would you like to possess most ?
Is that not a symbol of the sword of Damocles, the fear that comes with the power. Only its the knife is the horses hair in this inverted otherworldly metaphor given form.
Does the eyes in crayon not represent allesa's vision of Samael watching her judgingly.
The symbols of various religions are used to unlock a door you pass through to hunt God. Does this imply all religions worship the same deity?
Wouldn't the dagger also indicate sacrifice? Which would be quite fitting, considering Alessa's plight
No,that dagger without its cover means...
You'll figure it out at kitchen btw
What is the music in the background from? I know the song, but I cannot remember from where or what it's called. lol
Halth the thoul isth lothst...Thaht isth why the theed lieths dormantht!
Too bad the Silent Hill franchise is dead. If they bring it back someday and that's a big if I hope list of game be a combination of all the games or least first four games.
I been looking for the intro song :c can't find it anywhere
You can find the songs here: broken-notes.com
