Gowran Ogahm Stone, County Kilkenny, Ireland

(December 22, 2024) This stone was discovered in the foundation of the chancel of the old church of Gowran , when it was rebuilt to serve as the parish church. It lay prostrate for a long time in the ruined nave. G. V. du Noyer noticed the inscription in 1849. (PRIA 7 : 252 ) but is now set up against the altar-rails of the rebuilt chancel . Dimensions: 4' 11" x 1' 3" x 0' 11".

The image is the Akkadian letter Ayin centered with the Druid T-cross. The letter ayin by itelf is a drawing of the dark new moon Su who is the source of all motion/emotion powers. The T-cross is the Akkadian word for "astrology-magic." A Christian cross is not symmetric but has a long lower pole.
