Very interesting article which reminds me of Robert Graves reference to the Crane Dance. Robert Graves' references to the Ogham alphabet and its possible origins can be found on page 230 of the White Goddess in a paragraph referring to a design on a vase with the Triple Goddess (3 Fates). This illustration features some cranes flying in V-formation, a young man with a bag, a mirror, a sickle, a tooth, and an eye. The reference to the tooth is probably about augury, the sickle to the megalith builder's (aka: Hyperboreans) pagan solsticial rite in which mistletoe was the first twig to be cut at the New Year. Perseus is of course a reference to Persian cultural or religious influence. The eye may be a symbolic reference to an astronomer's viewpoint, the sightline of navigation. The myth of Perseus seems to coincide or echo this symbolic allusion to astrological observations. Medusas' stare turns men to stone (menhirs), her hair is probably a reference to the myriad chaos in the celestial sphere. The highly polished and reflective shield of Perseus being a convenient means of observing the heavens (focal lens). The ancient Etruscans who emigrated from Tyre, also employed a calendar composed of 8 year cycles, and coincidentally were extremely fond of ceremonial mirrors made of obsidian.
Something is not right. This message is just to keep things from messing up down the road
