The placement of the symbols has meaning

This was the wheel in the first episode and what Gideon used to summon him the first time

This is the wheel as Gideon drew it in jail to gain control of his father

This is the one that ford tried to use against bill

So here is what I think.

The first wheel is to bring him into this realm in a nonphysical form

The second wheel is to just speak and make deals with him wherever he is without summoning him

The last wheel is to seal him away should he end up passing into the physical realm.

Dippers real name

My theory about dippers real name. Before he dies, Bill says Axolotl my time has come to burn. What if dippers real name is axolotl?

may i ask you when was Dipper killed? both times actually because i'm pretty lost

When bill took dippers body. There were two moments in which dippers body was not occupied by dipper nor bill. Once when he originally took dippers soul out and once when bill was forced out. The body had no soul in it and was in essence dead.


Seeing your own dead body can probably be pretty traumatic.

now, if what cipher said is true, imagine how much he could see if this got into circulation. The more he knows the more powerful he gets. I don’t think trembly is who he seems. 

I jokingly said to a friend “what if Trembly created Bill Cipher?” and we realized that makes too much sense for em to be comfortable with. I mean, Cipher was on the back of the trembly bill so bill is at least old enough to have been around during the 8 ½  presidents time meaning the journals could be older than we thank.
