U448 Harg Griffin Picture Stone 900 CE

(January 31, 2025) This text is promoting the use of astrology magic in preference to human emotion magic for bringing fertility to the land.

The image on this stone is of a winged griffin. Based on the text the griffin seems to have derived from the emotion owls which edit the flow-rate of the fertility-fluids through the life network. Griffins are the astrological emotion owls in contrast to the normal emotion owls (like the Athenian owl) used by emotion magic. As such they should be contrasted with the eagle-vultures which edit the network's shape by cutting its links.

Below the griffin is an armless man on a long necked creature. The creature is staring back as the life network. The man seems to have the forked tongue of a snake indicating he has the powers of life and death. This would have to be the dark moon god Su responsible for astrological omens.
