I was thinking back about some of the Shaman
we have come across over the years.
The Goat especially the head has been seen quite often,
I also recall being told that the same held some kind of
relationship with the African type of 'Witch Doctor' and
Voodoo Practices related to the Caribbean in general.
Then I recalled that Satan in terms of The Occidental Worlds
religions is also known to represent himself with a Mans body,
Goats Head, with his two feet being cloven hoofed.
Pentagram With the Goat's Head
Or the Goat of Mendes
Strange coincidences or what?
This also is a very powerful Symbol in Satanism and Witchcraft.
It's a bit like the invention of the wheel.
Seemed to occur broadly across the known world at the same time.
I don't think the Red Indians of America had it though,
they dragged their litters and goods on long poles secured
to a horse.
