 ,found this ... ".........The labrys is a double headed ritual axe. It is found in ancient Minoan depictions of the Mother Goddess, where its symbolism is related to the labrynth. The word “labrys” is Minoan in origin and is from the same root as the Latin labus, or lips. Similar symbols appear on Norse, African, and Greek religious objects, where it is most often a feminine symbol, most likely lunar in origin........" ".....lunar in origin " ......the moon, yet again ?? Regards David |

Nice one David
We could probably run around the whole spectrum of symbols and come back to the same thing. What is odd is that I'm starting to see the combination ( and dots everywhere, including on Nepalese khukri  I'm sure this is pure coincidence but it's amazing that people so far apart developed such similar symbols for similar concepts. Attached are some better shots of all the symbols. E |
