Very right Rick,

However, if people start to link things, they should be able to understand things.



The head dress of this Amazonian Indian chief replicates the sun and the halo in as much as the halo in Russian icons and Christian iconography crowns the head.



This leads to the head and the crown. In other words, semiotics can help a lot, apart from Freud's cigar

But it seems that it will be a while before people will see the sword also as a phallic symbol, a symbol of power and so forth.

Well, anyway, it's off to work.
Very best
