Throughout Yellowjackets, strange symbols appear—carved into trees, drawn in blood, tattooed on skin. Their meaning remains one of the show's central mysteries, but we can analyze what we know.
Symbol Analysis
- Trees near the crash site
- The floor of the cabin (hidden beneath rugs)
- Present-day drawings by Taissa's son
- The postcards sent to survivors
- Pre-existing (the Wilderness has a history)
- Created by the girls (unconscious channeling)
- Both (they're completing something started long ago)
The symbol's meaning may be less important than its effect on those who see it.
