A sign of good in different cultures. Selected examples
There are a lot of cultures and beliefs that existed earlier and appearing now, and therefore there are plenty of signs and symbols that can play both a positive and a negative role, for all tastes and colors.
It's funny that we wear different signs on ourselves, sometimes even without knowing it. And it's not about damage or deliberate action, no. Just all the letters, patches, inscriptions that manufacturers make on clothes, are not very often subjected to preliminary analysis. And it is possible that if you go to church, somewhere on your pants or shirt there will be a satanic sign.
In general, you can divide the symbols into three categories: those who bring good (success, wealth, hope, strength, steadfastness, determination, etc.), personifying evil (signs of demons, devils in different cultures) and uniting both sides.

A cat in the Egyptian cult
Wolf
Continuing the theme related to the animal world, one can judge the two-valued use of the wolf as a symbol. In some cultures he was the personification of evil, deceit and cruelty, in others (as a sign of goodness) symbolized courage and victory, courage and heroism. The Egyptians, he was the embodiment of military valor. In the same Romans, the wolf was the animal symbol of the god Mars.
Lotus in ancient myths and legends
A symbol of time, as it simultaneously has seeds, flowers and unblown buds (past, present, future). The lotus is also the personification of the sun, because at sunrise, passing through the water column, it dissolves, and at sunset the petals again close and go under the water to the muddy bottom, where it originated and sprouted. The flower is also a symbol of life, because, having got into infertile soil, its seeds can lie 150 years in anticipation of better conditions. The lotus is one sign of good from the eight that are listed in Chinese Buddhism. It is the symbol of the Buddha himself. Prosperity, determination, family harmony, hardness, honesty are just a brief list of the mystical properties associated with this beautiful and unusual flower.
