Does anyone happen to know of any symbols representing peace, harmony or fellowship? Or anything similar to those? It would be especially helpful if they have any cultish backgrounds or history.
Hey! What specific purpose do you have in mind for these symbols? Dragging and dropping cult symbols into a story can be a bit tricky, so I could probably better assist you if I knew more about what I was looking for and why I'm looking for it.

Specifically for a gravestone. Though I'm not dragging and dropping the symbols in. The idea behind them deals with the whole story. I just need them to represent that idea, if that makes sense. >.<
@rosette I think what @Evander was getting at is how cult symbols carry a lot of cultural weight, and would impact the setting/plot pretty heavily depending on what kind of cult it is? Like, a symbol for that from the cult of Scientology will have a much, much different plot and obstacles than, say, the Freemasons (which weren't a cult, persay, but do crop up in conspiracy theory lit a lot).
So if you can narrow down culture/time period it would help a lot!

@Evander I suppose this isn't as simple as I thought it would be. xD
The story's set in modern time, in a small mountain town, which began as a little community by the certain group I'm using. (They're completely fictional, but their beliefs relate to that of the Druids). The setting itself has a great part in their beliefs - not that they worship trees or anything, but nature gives them a sense of self. It's where they think they can truly discover who they are, and so on.
I'm not sure what else I'm supposed to say... as you can probably tell by now, I'm not the most knowledgeable in this area. :p
Maybe fabricating your own symbol would be best for this situation since it's totally fictional? As they said, historical symbols carry a lot of weight.
