It was seen that one bulb of the Hourglass was painted black. The two glass bulbs of the Hourglass probably symbolized the two different realms, i.e., the mortal realm in which we live and the realm of the dead. What Was The Significance Of The Hourglass Symbol? Somewhere you feel that the cryptic symbolization of the Hourglass had a direct relation to the ghost of the old man and the old lady that Ilonka and Kevin saw quite frequently. Maybe the sigil of the “Paragon cult,” i.e., The Hourglass, was also symbolic of that intersection. Maybe it also served as a portal between the two worlds. The basement was probably the epicenter of all the evilness. She had seen it on the outer cover of Athena’s diary, and after thinking about it for quite some time, she also realized that the same symbol was carved below the buttons of that creepy elevator too, which led them to the basement.

She had seen the symbol engraved on the trunks of the trees. Ilonka had seen the hourglass multiple times, and she knew that it symbolized the collective consciousness of the members of the Paragon Cult.

The Paragon cult was founded by Regina Ballard, and it used the symbol of an “hourglass” as their sigil. In “The Midnight Club,” we are made privy to one such cult that operated from the basement of Brightcliffe Hospice. Most of these groups are either created in the service of another higher being (evidently other than God almighty) or achieve immortality (become God) through their rituals and sacrifices. Religious and spiritual cults work in mysterious ways.
