Clavicula Nox is a magical symbol, one of the key symbols in Dragon Rouge. In Latin, the phrase clavicula noctis literally translates into key of night.

The Clavicula Nox symbol is composed by symbols of Atlantis, a trident placed into a circle. The trident, symbol of Neptune, Shiva and also the devil, symbolises unconsciousness while the circle represents consciousness. Clavicula Nox is a symbol which signifies the process of turning unconsciousness into consciousness. It is a psychological meaning of Atlantis's myths. Thomas Karlsson, co-founder of Dragon Rouge, further explains the origins and additional meanings of the symbol:

Neptune, Shiva and Satan are symbols of lower surface, of a dark side of existence. This symbol shows us the existence of male and female elements. It is a tantric revelation of combination a man and woman as a center to stimulate a dark power. Clavicula Nox is the astral key, which opens the gates to many different experiences. They may be found after an Dragon Rouge initiation, being at 5th level, Thagirion. These Gates are called Xon, and Clavicula Nox is a map which helps to find them. Clavicula Nox is also a key. Key of Night, Nox - of spirit, of Xon gate.

Every Dragon Rouge's Lodge must include the Clavicula Nox in its individual emblem.[1]
