The "triskelon" that Matt talked about actually is trans-cultural.
Usually was the sighn of population groups in countries were the water element (rivers lakes seas) was abudand.
It was the emblem of Alkmeonides in Greece it exists in the coat of arms of the Isle of Man and Norman Sicily nad my good friend Ralf from the US showed me an asociation with New Mexico Mative Americans!
How did it came to be regarded as an "offensive" symbol?
Are we going to have problems with the law if we carry an Alkmeonid shield in an event somewhere?
Human stupidity certainly knows no bounds :!:
Kind regards
