Most of these symbols are work/process related, like mix the ingredients, precipitate the ingredients... 

The reason you had trouble finding them is people don't make tattoos or witch craft using symbols that mean 'do some work.' 

The only symbol that's not necessarily work related is 'the world spirit', though that's probably implying the spirit of the world is underlying chemistry/physics which meant the very much the same thing in the past. Also you may have noticed that 'The world spirit' symbol also resembles a cross and also P and F, as in PFizer... So probably a few reasons they threw that symbol into the mix.

Makes sense. I had assumed they were alchemy symbols but basically all the symbols I found where for elements/materials not 'Functions' or 'instructions'. Interesting that something as important as 'World Spirit' doesn't come up.

Yeah I work with tech and I kinda agree with the theory that the internet died a decade ago, now it's all tattoo art for viewing on your smartphone. Last I saw those symbols was on old paper standing on floors of glass.
