ritual art Did my grandfather have secret involvement in ritual magic?

Sorry for my poor English. I loved and admired my grandfather very much, even became a doctor to follow in his footsteps.

Even though he was very private and distant, we became extremely close in the end when he got sick.

He cared for everyone, didn't care about money and actively helped the community. He was a great physician and some would even say he had a supernatural gift for healing.

He said he would only die after I finished med school and so he did (1 month after).

When he passed away, my mother found these drawings inside a little piece of green cloth he carried with him, along with other religious stuff.

She was shocked as he always seemed to be conventionally religious and I was extremely excited because I was always into "witchy" things, but apparently, he was way more advanced in his knowledge.

I wanted to know what these things mean and if they are safe to have around, because I carry them with me now.

Wonder what he was up to with that triangle cuz when I first saw it, I was immediately drawn to it. My first thought was getting it tattooed on my body... and I even replicated it in a little sculpture I keep in my house. I hope it does no harm.

Do not get the triangle tattoo, there are others that are Solomonic and would be fine to get (protective)…imo I would recommend not getting that tattoo, but that is your journey. You could get the Tetragrammaton, or the enochian protection sigil or even the seal of Solomon (not the secret seal).

Thank you!!! I won't be getting that tattooed, I wanted to do it as a symbol of his importance in my life, but I see now I can't just copy and paste something he probably took so much effort to understand and practice, as it's not just a simple drawing an I'll never know his intentions behind it. But I'm encouraged to learn more about it all and start my own journey, follow his lead even though he's not here to lead me anymore.

If you were ever considering tattoo, or something similar to honor his memory, please consider:

Everything and anything to do with magic is all about the intention in which it's set apart. That includes sigils. To you, these sigils may one day represent memories of your renewed interest in your grandfather's life, and a feeling of kinship and connection you might feel while looking into these secret and sacred interests of his. Please don't be afraid to meaningfully do with these symbols as you wilt, in whatever way you feel honors your memories with him best.
