I drew this sigil this weekend. I made it for a story. It is the sigil of the hound headed men from Helven (from the story), of course no one knows if they truly exist or how their appearance or nature is, but much is rumored. ;D Helven Sigil And here it is inverted IA! IA! KTULU FTAGN!

NICE! I wonder if the houndmen were really Neanderthals?

cant say, its of course highly unlikely from a scientific viewpoint, i should read up on the subject, such stuff kinda fascinates me.
Cool, that you like the sigil, i tried to put the eyes and horns of the horned one into the figure.

I think i shall finish and post the story around yule.
EDIT Here is a piece from it
">You are all fools!<". It was Radu, one of Bahels wisemen, whos thoughts had been interrupted by the argument of the elders, who now joined the discussion. ">You are all wrong about Azuzel<", he said ">it is a gate to the kingdom of Helven. A horrible place. The creatures who live there have four arms and the heads of dogs, they do not sleep and they are unable to die. Because of this they are free of sympathy and they are very bloodthirsty. When they find a mortal creature they celebrate it and hold terrible ceremonies and rituals before they sacrifice it to their god, who is called Katule. They prey that Katule shall one day return to Helven so they can die again<". Radu continued to explain about Helven and its secrets and the elders where now sitting as if they where carved in stone while listening to his story, but i was tired and i laid down and went to sleep without hearing anymore.

Yes perhaps so. btw Is there a place called Helven here on earth (does anyone know) because i made a flickr search and found some mountain pictures called Helven 001, 002 and so on. On google maps i get some markers in spain and belgium when i type "Helven" I( just allow the names to come to me while i write or do whatever i do, i never know what to expect when i research them later. But i am often blown away by the "co incidents" i encounter. Last time it was Ural (for a poem -The trees- ). I KNOW that i have never heard of Ural or Helven, EVER. I over speculate of course.

Yeah that is the only appearantly rational explanation i can think of also.
And it is certainly possible, I AM an airhead.
With Ural, i just wrote it, it jumped out of me and started of the poem.
The trees of hidden lore stands reaching tall Beneath the moon of Ural.
I had no idea what Ural was when i wrote it. I thought that it was my morphing of the names Iran or Iram with the word uran (danish for uranium).
But then it began.
I had written the story The Beasts of Old (which ALSO just jumped out of my head in an uncalculated way). That story begins as such;
Once. Long, long ago. They were plenty. In a north-eastern part of what is today known as Russia they lived and ravaged in huge numbers. For æons they did so. For æons they had done so. They were older than man. Much older. They had been hunting prey and preforming their rituals long before man was allowed to evolve. Man only came later, when the gods and demons had become tired and bored with the simplicity and functionality of their creation. The gods craved chaos and the demons craved blood. Mankind was created to subdue both terms. Mankind is thus; Chaos Incarnated in Flesh and Blood.
When i later typed in, Ural on a search engine and realized that it is a mountain group in Russia i was rather, stunned. It felt.....as a piece of a puzzle being solved.
I later got a chance to look at a map of the moon and of course, the first name i see on that map is Mount Ural a mountain on the moon.
All this happened within the same time and so i over speculate.
You are certainly right that i could have picked it up and carried it around in my subconsciousness, also i tell myself that all the time. ;D
ALKA MA RADU!
