The Triangle Symbol and the Dragon's Eye

The Triangle Symbol and the Dragon's Eye

The Dragon's Eye is an isosceles or equilateral triangle pointing downward, with a "Y" in the middle connecting the three points of the triangle together. According to Carl G. Liungman's Dictionary of Symbols, it combines the triangle meaning threat and the "Y" meaning a choice between good and evil

The dragon's eye is a well known symbol of protection, said to protect anyone who recited the incantation to it. The dragon is a universal motif linked to various cultures of humanity for 5,000 years.

The word dragon comes from "derkesthai" (Greek: to glance dartingly) which, in a Hindu tradition, was the hungry look of the very first being when its fiery spirit was born out of the abyss of water. The Dragon's Eye symbol stands for the balance of love, power and wisdom. Triple triangles are associated with the Goddess and the nine Muses." (Source)

The All-Creating Eye

This issue above (May 1987) will be 30 years old the month Alien: Covenant is released to theaters (May 2017). Most likely no connection to Alien: Covenant whatsoever but displayed to show the symbolism common in publications of all kinds.
