The symbols are Viking Runes, more famously known as the ones found in Northern Minnesota, further leading to the controversy over whether the Vikings were there around 400 A.D.
The first one shown on the poster is, I believe, either Kenaz (k) (Opening) or Gebo (x) (for partnership). I just need a clearer view to determine what the first one is. The second one is Algiz (z) (for protection).
The meanings are here:
Kenaz: (K: Beacon or torch.) Vision, revelation, knowledge, creativity, inspiration, technical ability. Vital fire of life, harnessed power, fire of transformation and regeneration. Power to create your own reality, the power of light. Open to new strength, energy, and power now. Passion, sexual love. Kenaz Reversed or Merkstave: Disease, breakup, instability, lack of creativity. Nakedness, exposure, loss of illusion and false hope.
Gebo: (G: Gift.) Gifts, both in the sense of sacrifice and of generosity, indicating balance. All matters in relation to exchanges, including contracts, personal relationships and partnerships. Gebo Merkstave (Gebo cannot be reversed, but may lie in opposition): Greed, loneliness, dependence, over-sacrifice. Obligation, toll, privation, bribery.
Algiz: (Z or -R: Elk, protection.) Protection, a shield. The protective urge to shelter oneself or others. Defense, warding off of evil, shield, guardian. Connection with the gods, awakening, higher life. It can be used to channel energies appropriately. Follow your instincts. Keep hold of success or maintain a position won or earned. Algiz Reversed: or Merkstave: Hidden danger, consumption by divine forces, loss of divine link. Taboo, warning, turning away, that which repels.
Algiz seems very appropriate, although I really can't figure out which one the first should be. Also, I'm fairly sure that Sirius has Rune tattoos as well.
I hope that it helps and hasn't confused anyone further!
