Druid Triskele/Triskelions

 Representing the integration of life powers with motion/emotion powers

Bronze Winged Triskele With Sick Sun (Life Power) in Center

This is called the Winged Gorgoneion (Olympia Museum number B110) because the center sick sun image became the Gorgon of Greek myth. It is dated between 500 and 600 BCE. It was found during archaeological excavations on the north wall of Olimpia Stadium, located east of the Zeus shrine.

The upper right wing is a reconstruction as it was broken off from the original.

York Banner Penny - 940's CE (Motion power owl wing on one side, life power triquetra on the other)

(December 8, 2024, updated February 3, 2025) York Banner Penny also mistakenly called the Raven Banner Penny minted around 942 CE.  The left image shows an owl wing while the right image shows a triquetra. Photo from Tom Horn via Bluesky at: https://bsky.app/profile/hornesupremacy.bsky.social

 These coins were minted during the reign of Norse-Gaelic Olaf Sihtricson who was the king of Jórvík (York region of Britain) between 941-944 CE before also becoming king of Dublin between 945-947 and 952-980 CE.  

The text on this coin is stating that the 2 spiritual power classes do not work together and should not be integrated.

Translation of Lines 1 and 2 in Akkadian  

(read counter-clockwise. Capital letters on object. Small letters are inferred Inner vowels. Verbs are italic bold. Dual use letters are E/H, I/Y, U/W, and '/A in which vowel appears at beginning of words except for Yahu which is keeping its traditional Hebrew transliteration
Letter Chart: Northern Lineage Letter Chart The dots on the coin separate words where needed. They are not sentence dividers like periods.
  1. Ḫu. A. Ḫu Ḫu'u  Ḫu  E  Qu  AGu Tu  E.  A.
  2. A. EDu UḪu UḪu  E.  Gu Tu  A  Ḫu  Lu :.

In English

  1. Hu powers will result in Hu (a life power). Astrological-owls (motion power) for Hu make ineffective the life-threads.  Angering Thu is ineffective for that. 
  2. These motivating powers of exhalations are exhaling nothing. Energizing astrology-magic will result in Hu's lack.

Previous Translation Attempt

  1. FARMAN MONETA    
  2. ANLAF CVNVNC (CUNUNG)

In English

  1. Farman moneyer
  2. Olaf King

Besides the letter assignments being wrong and the sentences starting in the wrong place, the word assignments are still mostly names which is a linguistic cheat because names can cluster any set of letters. Also the word "Olaf" is not "Anlaf" because of the /n/. Even with all this slight of hand they still arbitrarily change the last "C" in Cununc to a "G."

Celtic Lion, Ibex, Eagle Vulture With Winged Druid Spiral

(December 1, 2024) This close-up of a drinking cup shows the desired combination of all spiritual powers. First the concept of order represented by the sun lion (life powers) and prosperity (Ibex) with the proper editing of the life-network represented by the eagle-vultures. Over all is the representation of the inner spark of life represented by winged Druid spiral.

Triquetra on Rodney's Stone 800's CE

(December 9, 2024) Rodney's Stone is a 2 meter high stone now located close on the approach way to Brodie Castle, near Forres, Moray, Scotland. It was found in 1781 while laying the foundations for a new church in Dyke and Moy. The symbol inscriptions are:
  1. Triskelion  
  2. Paired Druid Spirals symbolizing the combination of the feminine with the masculine life powers.
  3. Moons - The crescent moon on the right. On the left is a sequence of the full moon, new dark moon, and full moon again. The crescent moon is the Druid deity Ayu (life power), the dark new moon is the Druid deity Su (motion power), while the full moons represent the celestial light goddess Selu/Selene (motion-power).
  4. The visible night sky showing the crescent moon with the 7 visible planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn.) surrounding the earth.
