The Ingress Glyph Memorization Guide

Need help memorizing Ninantic's Ingress Glyphs? This guide is a visual tool to help, with glyphs logically ordered in groups, from easy to difficult.
Note: This data is straight from the Glyphtionary which should receive all credit for creating these images and organizing them - huge kudos to them. Please visit their page for a complete list. (Ideally they would host this version on the glyphtionary website).
I love getting suggestions from agents (enlightened and resistance alike!) for better memorization tips. Just send a message to @FaxMelior in ingress comms. Please include your own agent name embedded into your message, so I can credit you!


General Tips for Memorizing Glyphs:




Ingress Fundamentals:

Civilization + Nature:
Tips: Civilization is the opening of pandora's box. Nature is the opposite, and is also shaped like a hill.

Create / Destroy:
Tips: Create rises up in a positive way, Destroy trends down in a bad way. Clear resets between them.

All:
Tips: All the way around is all, combine with clear and open for compound glyphs. For open, think of it as a keyhole to open a door.

Yoga:
Tips: Perfection=Pendulum (alliteration), Imperfect makes no sense (don't bother memorizing), Harmony is a balanced hourglass, Harm is half of "Harm"ony (hey, it works)

One-offs:
Tips: No relation between these, but all are common enough to learn by this point.
"Again" is drawing a spike, then another again. "Have" is like a hook to grab something to make it yours.
Hide is to hide in the bow of a boat. Danger is a person's profile (with nose) looking to the left (bad). Together is a hand outstretched for grasping by another.

Heartbeat:
Tips: Imagine a heartbeat. If the beat is going up (good) that's courage, if down (bad) that's fear. Conflict has both (it also looks like doberman ears for conflict)

Purity:
Tips: Golfclubs pointing down (bad) thus impure, or up (good) thus pure
Impure

Truth vs. Lie:
Tips: Truth stands forever, thus infinity sign. Lie is an imperfect truth, thus missing the lower left link. Idea is like truth just larger, but not complete.

Lie

Journey and Chaos:
Tips: These two are the long ones - first is a journey through the dots, second is the chaos of going every which way. These are worth memorizing because they show up frequently.
Journey
Journey
Chaos / Disorder
Chaos


Improve/Deteriorate:
Tips: Improve is quite common - its a check mark pointing up and right (good). Deteriorate is the opposite, and generally doesn't appear (nor another similar one "Abandon").
Improve

Deteriorate / Erode
Deteriorate


Information:
Tips: Message and Data is like the lightning bolt for data transmission in presentations, messages run horizontally on fiber lines, while (cellular) data comes down from the sky
Message

Data / Signal / Message
Data


Inhale/Exhale:
Tips: Breathing is mouth open to the sky, Dieing is mouth open face-down, dead in the sand
Breathe

Equality:
Tips: Equal is like an upside down "now" glyphy - i.e., it simply is, like the present. Not is equality undone - i.e. missing a leg. Note that Inside is the same as Not, despite unrelated meanings.
Equal

No / Not / Absent / Inside

Center dots:
Tips: Simple is the simplest glyph - dead center. Strong is the strongest (and centered) while weak is strength askewed

More or Less:
Tips: Stability is a low-centered and wide platform. Safety is a higher level of stability.
Stability / Stay

Safety
Safety


Moving Forward:
Tips: Path is movement from the past (left) for the good (up). Barrier is the opposite - and looks like a barrier for travelling left to right. Distance measures the start and end point of the path glyphy. Destination is a path in the future (hence, on the right).

One-offs #2:
Tips: No relation between these, but all are somewhat common and worth learning at this point.
Discover is like a cup catching opptys. Change is a scribble to redo. Potential is like a water tower, filled with potential energy.

Problem Solving:
Tips: For the android users, ignore is the way you decline a call on many Android phones (Thanks @AllBunsBlazing!). For Forget, it is the part of "past" that is not "old" (thanks to anonymous agent!)

Aging:
Old as part of "past", and New is part of "Future" (thanks to anonymous agent!).

Not worth memorizing: (In My Humble Opinion)
Tips: These are either too complex or too rare to warrant memorizing. Recommendation is to ignore these. If any of you have tips for these, though, send a message in comms to @FaxMelior and I will add them - just remember to include your agentname so I can credit you!
