The fact of the matter is that basically all symbols have multiple uses. If we rely on those symbols to tell us anything of value we're operating on total bullshit.
Context is important; if someone is using a symbol out of typical context, chances are the meaning is not the typical (and usually innocent) meaning.
I personally never really put a whole lot of stock into the other stuff; sure, maybe satanists use owls as symbolism, but owls are also amazing creatures and many people love them, and as such, wear things bearing their image. They are God's creation, after all, so who are we to side with the evil meanings of them over the good?
Or take Pizza; pizza is delicious. Pizza is also a codeword used by pedos. probably 95% of people that say that they're going to get pizza are literally going to get pizza. If someone says something about pizza where real pizza doesn't make sense, that's where the red flag goes up.
Then there are the pattern symbols, for example the spiral-triangle Nordic rune. Sure bad people might have their own meaning for it, but let's be real; it's a Nordic symbol that first and foremost is usually used because it looks cool or is visibly Nordic.
Symbols are just another form of language. Words have many different meanings depending on their context; so do symbols. A "devils horns" could be equated to a sort of yell; sometimes yelling can be done in anger, sometimes it can be done in evil, sometimes it can be done in joy or humor.
I've never been one for symbolism.
