The left crosses traditionally have been assumed to be Christian crosses but that is incorrect. They are Druid crosses representing the Druid Rune "T" meaning "astrology magic."

Translation of the Runes in Druid Akkadian (Northern Text 46)

  1. LeYu  ELu  UZu  U  Ka'u  E  Ṭa'u  Nu
  2. Mu  Du  Ku  KaYu.  Mu  ENu  U  EḪu  

In English

  1. The plan of the high-life-powers can be frustrated with prodding (using emotion magic) making ineffective the near-realm's revelations (of fate).
  2. The fertility-fluid's manifestations can involve prodding. The fertility-fluid's can be reassigned with shouts (from ritual).

Traditional Translation Using Post-Bardic Revolution Letter Assignments

  1. LIE LUGUAEDON MACCI MENUEH

Comment: "Macci" is thought to be "Son" making the whole line just a list of names. Names are not a translation but are a linguistic cheat which can cluster any arbitrary set of letters.
