Meaning of Bill Cipher Symbol

Overview of Bill Cipher

Bill Cipher is a character from the animated television series "Gravity Falls." He is depicted as a triangular, one-eyed demon with various symbols surrounding him. These symbols are often associated with esoteric and occult themes, drawing inspiration from historical symbology such as the Illuminati or Masonic imagery [1:3][1:4]. However, it is important to note that while some elements may resemble these symbols, they are not officially tied to any real-world organizations [1:5][1:7].

Symbolism in Bill's Eye

In the show, Bill Cipher's eye sometimes displays symbols, particularly during significant moments like his demise. These symbols have been interpreted by fans as projections related to the characters' foreheads or as symbolic representations of panic or distress [3:1][3:3]. The symbols also appeared in earlier episodes, suggesting continuity in their meaning or purpose [3:2].

Cultural References and Fan Interpretations

The symbols associated with Bill Cipher have sparked numerous fan theories and interpretations. Some fans have created fonts or writing styles inspired by Bill Cipher's cryptogram alphabets, which can be found on websites dedicated to decoding the show's mysteries [2:1]. Additionally, fans have drawn parallels between Bill Cipher's symbolism and various analog horror themes, incorporating elements from other media into their creative works [4:3].

Numerical Symbols

Some discussions have focused on numerical symbols seen around Bill Cipher, such as combinations of numbers like 7830 or angles like 93 degrees [5:1][5:2]. While these numbers might seem random, fans speculate about their potential meanings, whether as codes, years, or references to specific events or concepts within the show [5:5].

Conclusion

The symbols associated with Bill Cipher serve as a rich tapestry of mystery and intrigue for fans of "Gravity Falls." While many interpretations exist, the creators of the show have left much open to speculation, allowing viewers to engage deeply with the enigmatic nature of Bill Cipher and his symbolic presence.

This one's interesting. I wouldn't think its an official bill cipher logo, otherwise I would expect to see its likeness in google search, given the show's popularity. It does look familiar, but its a pretty basic symbol with alot of similar features to symbols for the philosopher's stone, the sobriety circle, the great seal, and some others. Given the fact that it's a sticker, my instinct is to say it's some smaller business's logo or something along those lines. It doesn't quite match up enough in my mind to attach it to any "well-known" esoteric symbol that I know of, and the fact that its slapped on an apple laptop makes me lean away from occult symbolism. Probably a small business or inside joke type reference from pop culture.

If you enter “CRYPTOGRAM CODEX” into thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com, you can get a font version of Bill Cipher’s cryptogram alphabets. In terms of writing the base alphabet Bill-like, we could probably match his handwriting from the sticky notes.

The costume shown in the picture consists of the following elements:

  1. Long robe - yellow-golden hue with wide sleeves, belted with a rope.

  2. Pointed hood - high, elongated upwards, yellow-golden color (like the robe). The hood depicts the symbol of Bill's eye, which is a reference to the Society of the Blind Eye from the GF episode of the same name (but they had a crossed out eye). The edge of the hood is decorated with a pattern of triangles.

  3. Face - Hidden in the shadows is a hood with a wide grin and large eyes, which creates an ominous image.

  4. Staff - (not only the "Bill's Eye" symbol, but also an indirect reference to the To the ancient Russian priests).

The drawing also features various variations of the character in this outfit, as well as a flag that combines the symbols of the Russian tricolor and the BillVel Flag.

Appears to be a pantagram inside a crescent moon, both pagan signs. Also appears to be a celtic knot inside the moon.

In paganism all of these represent life and connection, so I assume it’s someone trying to say something about spirituality, and all life in contrast with current US politics (represented by the dollar bill)

That’s just a guess though

nthermost · 6 months ago

The star is a pentacle or pentagram, a common symbol used in Wicca and various other pagan traditions today, but the symbol has had several different meanings over time. Source: https://www.britannica.com/topic/pentagram

The knotting underneath is most likely just decorative Celtic knotting, maybe symbolizing a crescent moon.

40 upvotes on reddit
Archeogeist · 6 months ago

This is 100% some Wiccan thing. It's related to Celtic paganism in that Wicca took directly from Celtic paganism; in this case, a Celtic knot. The pentacle (because the star is in a circle) plus knot is classic Wiccan imagery.

Someone was doing a money or abundance spell.

No it's not a collector's item... to the right person, if you're next to them, it might be interesting or a fun fact to share what the marking means. But beyond that no value. Learning the coding process that are on bills might be more interesting tho... The first letter of the serial number corresponds to the series year. Federal Reserve indicators. Each note has a letter and number designation that corresponds to one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks (such as A1 = Boston, B2 = New York)
