Is even better to have you all doing such a good work around here, Jim

And, regarding the Wilkinson symbol... he may say what he wants (and I actually happened to know that particular tidbit of information, casually... mainly from YOU mentioning it in a former discussion, by the way), but people will see a Solomon's Seal or a David's Star, there, no matter what.
Which should make us wonder how far we can go regarding ciertainty when trying to extricate the meaning of a symbol appearing in an ethnographic piece from a cultural and historical context that sometimes is as alien to us as in our imagination might be good ole' Cthulhu itself...
