Labrys
The Labrys is a double-headed axe, which was a religious symbol in ancient
Greek religion, especially in ancient Crete. Among the Minoans of Crete, it was a
feminine symbol associated with Goddesses. In later Greek religion, it was used
by Zeus, to create storms. The labrys is a symbol associated with Greek
Paganism, known as Hellenism. It has also been adopted within LGBTQ+
culture, as a representation of lesbianism.

 The symbol of Seax Wica represents the moon, the sun, and the eight Wiccan sabbats.
 Thor's Hammer - Mjolnir
 The sun is a symbol of power and energy.
 The triple spiral, or triskele, is found in many Celtic traditions. (also buddhist)
 Hecate is connected to a maze which spiraled around like a serpent.
  The yin yang represents balance and harmony.
  Most scholars believe that the Grail originated in Celtic (Irish) mythology. There, ancient stories related to the Grail include tales of drinking horns and cauldrons that never run empty. 
  
Mexico
  Metztli: means moon  Xictlii: means umbilical or centre  Co: means place
  Metztlixcictlico, then, means Place in the centre of the moon (or belly button of the moon). The Aztecs called Texcoco Lake the lake of the moon and in the centre was Tenochtitlan, their capital city (now called Mexico City). When the Spanish arrived in 1519, they found it difficult to pronounce the whole name metztlixcictlico, so the word became shortened to just Mexico
  
  The national emblem is an eagle holding a snake in its beak. The eagle stands on a nopal (cactus plant). The emblem dates back to the time of the Aztecs coming to the Valley of Mexico, and is based on the legend of the founding of the Aztec capital, Tenochtitlan.
