On 7-7-2012 Bungie gave us these seven symbols. The community has sense linked to an ancient art called geomancy.
Geomancy has 16 runes or symbols [url=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/bd/Geomantic_figures.svg] 16 geomantic figures[/url]

There are a number of ways to interpret these symbols:
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomancy] Geomanctic Charts[/url] basically involve adding the symbols together using their binary to get one final symbol.

[url=http://www.britannia.com/wonder/geomancy.html] Fung Shui or Ley Lines [/url] I think this may help us unlock some easter eggs once the game is actually released.
Also interesting to note, the one of seven winners received hoodies showing [url=http://misriahsolutions.files.wordpress.com/2012/12/oneofseven_jacket.jpg?w=584&h=438] One of Seven Hoodie [/url] This mysterious symbol which is geomantic looking but does not fit any of the 16 original runes.
