| Tony - Is this guy any relation to the Nigel Beckwith who recently phoned up Class War asking what we thought about you, and why we have a skull and cross bones as our logo? |

Caduceus (kerykeion)
The caduceus is the legendary herald's wand of the Greek God Hermes (Roman, Mercury). This symbol, a winged staff entwined by twin serpents, is nearly universal, found in Egypt, Mesopotamia, and India, where it is always a symbol of harmony and balance. The symbol may have originally been a symbol of the sovereignity of the Goddess Tanit.
It has been mistakenly utilized as a symbol of the medical industry in the place of the wand of Asclepius (Asculapius).
In the Hermetic Tradition, the cadeceus is a symbol of spiritual awakening, and has been likened to the Kundalini serpents of Hindu mysticism.

It looks like a caduceus to me too.
thanks for talking up on that sherlock home movie issue.
His approach is so 1970s romance.
got no time for such bloated emotionalism. |

What an interesting insight into his psyche that he then called you for help

I'm guessing that having looked into your long-term support for David Shayler, he just wanted to speak to someone who does not have the word gullible tattooed on their forehead........ |

Hopefully not a waste of anyone's time but traditionally trained signwriters should have some knowledge of the heraldry. Perhaps worth an inquiry of some.
