Why would we need special categories of SignWriting symbols
for arcane and esoteric subjects? Surely, each group of adherents
to whatever religious faith (or none) develops their own in-house
signs - for each of which a corresponding SW symbol naturally
follows.
In the list of religious terms offered, many are in Sign Dictionaries
(whether ASL, BSL or whatever Sign system - in my case, AUSLAN) but, even
so, different denominations have sign
variants for the same terms.
