Out of fun started creating one today when I was mind-mapping some of my goals and thought I would add it as one of my goals even though I finished it almost entirely. The point of me creating one was to have a highly personal symbol that represented my life mission, aspirations, and continuous development character.
I have composed three main symbols into my coat of arms: an oak tree with its roots eradicated over and open book, a sword in a stone with a flower growing in front of it, and an owl over a laurel. The tree with it’s roots growing over the book represents my desire to learn to great depths and heights. The owl being redundant of that understanding is usually the old familiar of wizards and also of Athena who is the goddess of wisdom. The laurel is generally represented in academia and also was also used for the triumphant winners in the ancient Greek Olympics. I chose the sword in the stone which generally represents knighthood as a symbol of achieving and constantly exhibiting good character. I use the flower to make clear that it is not a man who is the exhibiting knightly qualities, but a woman.
I still need to add a motto to my coat of arms to make it complete. At some point I will upload an image of my final product for those to see what I described above.
