It's not a pound sign, it's an Octothorpe.

Keep in mind as we move forward- this all could have been avoided with one visit to google translate, so this is largely a social experiment to see who bothers to check their resources/pay attention to the language, and who accepts anything written in Hebrew at face value.

SEAL #1- SOUP'S UP

The center text here says tomato soup. The text around the star points says garlic bread. The Latin at the bottom is the scientific word for tomato. The alchemical symbols mean salt, water, potassium, boil, and mix thoroughly. I joined a discord server devoted to kabbalah, hermeticism, and other occult philosophy/esotericism. There's a room for conspiracy theories and another "cringe corner" that seems to mostly just be memes featuring fascism, antisemitism, and transphobia. I posted this seal in their resource channel and told them it helps people see through lies.

Everybody accepted it right away and one person asked me to make another one for improving at math, so I gave him this:

Seal #2- Be Not Afraid

This translates to "I am afraid of squirrels." The symbols were randomly selected and have no extra meaning.

In fainess, one person did ask what the Hebrew said. Not wanting to do the work for them, I said that I didn't know because I'd had a friend translate it for me. Even knowing that I didn't know what it meant, nobody had any objections.

I would have stayed longer, but the "memes" and general conversation was pretty antisemitic and I dipped to avoid psychic damage.
