I'm doing something that involves the classical elements and I'm looking for symbols for the traits the elements were said to have-- warm, cold, wet, and dry. I searched around and all I found was one use of "D." to represent dry or drying and this one chart with some symbols that seems to have shown up once and then been copied in a few places.
Are there symbols for these concepts, and if so, what are they?
I'd also love some symbols relating to the products of the elements interacting-- for example I found a symbols ashes that looks like an E with an elongated middle leg. Does anyone know any of those, or any general good sources for these kinds of symbols?
Google hasn't made it to your end of the Internet?

like I said, I searched, but I couldn't find the ones I really wanted, the ones representing cold, warm, wet, and dry
I found this and another picture, can anyone verify the validity of these symbols for the traits (not the elements)? These seem to lead back to one guy and I think he might have made them up.

Hey...be careful with those you guys.

those symbols don't make sense to me and I haven't come across them when I looked threw the alchemy books
I don't remember seeing symbols for them either

OK thanks, I was leaning towards a different interaction setup, now I know that's what I'll go with
and hey, at least I found out through my searches that salt is both derivative and ascendant because of the fire of the earth
