artifact of evil
I found this at work. It was all I could do to touch it, but in the name of providing you with something weird to shudder over I present it to you now.Can anybody tell me what this broach is, what it represents?
And does it have something to do with the Freemasons?
I presume thats faux amethyst and it seems to be a chicken's claw with a ring around one talon.
And if you look closely you can see the gem is held in place by a deer head with antlers partly encompassing the gem.
Celtic paganism has a god that is represented by a stag, his name is Cernnunos or the Horned One. Cernunnos represents fertility, animals, hunting and nature in general. It's possible that human sacrifices were made to Cernnunos to ensure a bountiful harvest.But what about the talon? It's significance eludes me. Can't even conjecture around that as I have above.
Anybody got any ideas?
When and why would someone wear a broach consisting
of some bird's talon wearing a ring, encrusted with 'amethyst' and held in place by a deer's head and antlers?
Bizarro.

It looks like a grey kangaroo paw.
It's nothing I've ever seen or heard from Freemasonry ritual.
Rigggghhhhhhh.....t.
So, I've got a real life Freemason who loves his guns just that little bit too much telling me that it's got nothing to do with Freemasons...
I'm not convinced.
My Dad was a Freemason and he doesn't know shit all about the brotherhood.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, it may be just a little too weird for those boys.
I recognise it as an instrument used by the friendly workers at my local Centrelink to help instruct me on my non-mutual obligations to the Gub'mint. Or -- possibly -- a tool wielded by the ALP President to keep the odd worker who applies to join the ALP from actually doing so.
Or something.
I can only hope that a one-legged chicken happens to chance upon your blog and claims her foot back. In anticipation, I reckon you should consider asking her for AT LEAST three eggs in exchange... it's got to be worth that much to her...
Surely?

How much would you sell this most wonderous device for?
I would like an answer in British currency if you can.
Or not at all. Your choice.
Yes, it is indeed a device most wonderous.
I would gladly swap it for a rare artifact of similarly uncommon magnificence or equivalent value.
Show me wot you got.
