- I suppose that would depend on your definition of a 'personal symbol'
- you may have re-discovered a symbol that, as you describe it, may have been known to others as there is a translation from Hebrew for it
- one view is that a personal symbol is one which one has 'come across' in a 'magical' manner and one which is not shared with others (and presumeably is not known by others)
- I know that some Teachers will ask if they may attune a favorite student to a personal symbol - for myself I do not subscribe to that practice
- hope this helps
