kossaiwell , this is just how kossai understand and experience . but think about this due to changeling the dreaming echoes trait - where , among other various traits , religious symbols , holy grounds , and church bells will hurt changelings .
as kossai see , these things would not distress because there is inherently pain in these shapes , these places , and these sounds . instead , there is distress because humans already have faith this religion , these symbols , will ward off and hurt .
could say in some sense that people charge - or invoke someone to charge - these symbols with anti faerie energies , or perhaps more broadly anti " un-godly " energies .
will not feel pain from look upon someone with cross necklace , but likely to feel uneasy if that person turn to cross and direct something to kossai . this might or might not be conscious direction - whether attempt to bless kossai , or look for protection from that which do not look to same god or gods .
in that sense , some symbols might be more or less likely to have such " charge " , but will be exceptions in either direction . some pentacles might distress , just as some crosses might not .
