The only information I could glean about the symbols in the emblem from this link is:
- The swastika symbol would later be known as "the socialist swastika."
- Blavatsky's initials are in the center of the hexagram. (Looks like an "E" and a "B" to me, though. Her middle name is "Petrovna.") ???
- The symbol at the lower left is a "Shin," which in Judaism stands for S-letter symbolism for the word "Shaddai," a name for God.
Can anyone identify the rest of the symbols?

Trying to identify the rest of these symbols has been an adventure. One would think it would be easy, since Blavatsky is famous and the emblem is on the book binding of her
Collected Writings.
Anyway, the best website I have found so far on this is -
