The ''[[swastika]]'' — the hooked cross, whose [[Sanskrit]] name means "well being" — is a very important symbol in Ynglism, with fifty variations in Ynglist symbolism and twelve in Aleksey Trekhlebov's teachings.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=103}} In Ynglism it represents the Ynglia, the fiery radiance enlivening and ordering everything in the universe, personified as Yngly; hence it is also called the "image of Yngly" and it is considered the first written symbol of humanity,<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism"/> as well as the foremost symbol of the Slavo-Aryans, and of the defence of their lands and their faith.{{sfn|Shnirelman|2017b|p=90}} Its many variations symbolise the various forms of life which are generated in accordance with Yngly — the patterns of the gods of planets, earthly weather phenomena, classes of entities, and so on.<ref name="Derzhavarus-symbols">{{cite web|title=Обереги славян |trans-title=Slavic symbols |url=http://derzhavarus.ru/solyarnye-svastichnye-simvoly.html |website=Derzhava Rus |date=21 March 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170621220928/http://derzhavarus.ru/solyarnye-svastichnye-simvoly.html |archive-date=21 June 2017}}</ref>

Besides the ''swastika'', another important symbol in Ynglism is the nine-pointed "star of Yngly" (звезда Инглии, ''zvezda Yngly''), also called ''oberezhnik'' (обережник, symbol of the "guardian") and ''mati-gotka'' (мати-готка, "ready mother") in popular tradition, referring to matter ready to be ordained by the divine force.<ref name="Derzhavarus-symbols"/> The Ynglia itself is often represented at the centre the star as a hooked cross, a thunder (Perun) or as a sword.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The star of Yngly also represents the harmonised man (Aryan).<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The three intersecting triangles represent the three worlds of traditional Slavic cosmology (Prav, Yav and Nav), the ''Triglav'' manifestations within each of them, but also spirit, body and soul on the human plane.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The circle surrounding the triangles represents the Ynglia itself, and also human consciousness awakened by the cognition of Yngly, while the infinite space beyond the circle is God's infinite potentiality.<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/> The three triangles also represent the elements of earth, water and fire, while the circle represents air and the infinite space beyond it represents the infinite Heaven (''Svarga'').<ref name="Derzhavarus-Ynglism-summary"/>

While Rodnovery generally rejects [[numerology]] and forms of [[Middle Ages|medieval]] [[magic (supernatural)|magic]] if numbers are conceived as abstract and not connected with objects of the real world, it accepts such practices if the numbers are seen in webs of symbolism with objects, as manifesting in objects of the real world.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=97}} Ynglism is one of the denominations of Rodnovery in which numerical symbolism is best systematised.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=97}} Particularly important symbolic numbers in Ynglism are: the number 3, which symbolises the triads of deities, especially the great ''Triglav'' of Svarog-Perun-Svetovid;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=99}} the number 8, double of 4, which symbolises the four seasons of the year and the four horizontal divisions of space, both with four intermediate stages;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=101}} the number 33, which is the number of the commandments of the celestial deities;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} and the number 108, which is the number of all possible sins.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} There are also numbers symbolically associated to the divisions of time: the number 9, which symbolises the nine months of the Ynglist year and the nine days of the Ynglist week;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} the number 16, which symbolises the sixteen hours of the Ynglist day;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} the number 40, which symbolises the forty days of each Ynglist even month;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} the number 144, which is the number of minutes of the Ynglist hour and of years in the great cycles of the Ynglist calendar;{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}} and the number 369, which is the number of days in a year.{{sfn|Gaidukov|2000|p=102}}
