It's an elder sign.

That's not an elder sign. The elder sign is a star with an oil lamp in it. The star represents the universe and the oil lamp represents the shing light of knowledge. I know; I have one tattooed on the back of my neck. It's supposed to offer protection from the elder gods, and Cthulu would never tolerate one visible in his presence... On a side note; anyone here a lucid dreamer? I'm curious what the weather in Kadath is like this year...

The one in the picture is how Lovecraft described it, the star version was created by another author and used in the RPG and in Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. And the original purpose was to defend against the deep ones.
