Considering their name, I was expecting something that related to the myth like a wolf eating the sun. Why the cockatrice ? --Marc Pasquin 09:43, 20 May 2006 (PDT)

It is a basilisk, not a cockatrice (although granted the two are often interchangable in myth as well as heraldry). My thought was that the Lodge uses symbols more esoterically than literally (i.e. a wolf). They see themselves as adepts invoking/partaking of fundamental mysteries for which scientific terms not only do not exist but cannot exist. The basilisk is an amalgram of different natures, one born of masculinity rather the feminine, and something so inherent dangerous that to see one is to be slain (or in mystic terms, reborn). Does this make sense? Zahir 11:29, 20 May 2006 (PDT)

perfect sense. --Marc Pasquin 11:58, 20 May 2006 (PDT)
