These are four of the strongest symbols tied to Tien within the Mir'eshu culture- however not all of them are known to every branch of the people. They are mutable to a degree and are often stylized by the person rendering them and what purpose they are for.
Those who remained on Aejiss rather than being taken to safety on Eshurian would have grown up seeing different symbols to represent the Trickster. It was an unfortunate side effect have having to hide their lineage and faith, lest they be hunted down by false goddess who ruled them in Trickery's name.
The first two are tied to Aejiss- the mask, being the obvious symbol of Tien and her ever shifting nature. Depending on how it was designed it would not have to be hidden as it could be seen as a symbol of Lorinia as well. A particular favorite among some for this purpose was the weeping mask; Eshu's sorrow they called it, for when she lost her lover. It was said that sorrow followed Lorinia wherever she went. Tien finds the tricky double meaning of it amusing, despite its origins.
The second, the serpent in the tree of knowledge, is primarily used by the historians- the male mir'eshu on Aejiss who took up the task of recording history for the sake of the future. Normally that task would fall to the priestesses, but their numbers became fewer and fewer each year as they were hunted down by Lorinia in an attempt to squash the old religion. Traditionally, Eshu was not seen as a serpent but a new sign was needed for her that only the faithful would recognize. It was selected in honor of Nykyrrian.
The latter two symbols are more tied to the mir'eshu on Eshurian- the first was a flower native to Eshurian that the first settlers named 'Eshu's Jadenira' because of its nature. The flower would only bloom when the temperature, moisture and moonlight were perfect...if not it would close up and who knew when it would bloom again. Tricksy little flower isn't it?
The last, a hawk, was the traditional symbol for Eshu. It would appear often alongside the masks in temples and shrines dedicated to her. Priestesses dedicated to her service are said to be 'the Eyes of Eshu'. It is not uncommon to see the higher ranking priestesses wearing hawk type masks at important festivals.
