That is a Rune known as 'Jera'.
Jera symbolises the agricultural year. It represents the fruitfulness of the harvest and the communal celebrations that surround it. It is not coincidence that this rune is numbered 12, commemorating the 12 months of the year.

If you wanted more information I found this in a file on my computer. I have no idea what NRP and IRP are.

JERA
Interpretations which have been offered for this rune include year, spear, harvest, year of plenty and
year of good harvest. Both NRP and IRP prefer to render the meaning as 'plenty', IRP adding a
good summer and thriving crops for good measure. NRP, cryptic as ever, adds that the peace-loving
Danish king Frothi was generous, adding to the overall impression of prosperity associated with this
rune. IRP offers the Latin gloss annus, year, and ASRP reads 'summer' while giving the name of the
rune as Ger. This derives from gear, a word originally referring to the warm part of the year.
The concepts of a season of fertility and a good harvest were vital, in the true meaning of 'vital', to
agricultural communities in the uncertain northlands.
The rune is pronounced as in the modern English word 'yes'

You sure that cant be the "S" bolt symbol that deals with/is behind a bit of satanism? It's a symbol in mythology that zeus used as a weapon, known as the "destroyer" it's also a symbol known to reconigze satan
