Gryphon

Pawn

1993 Number 14 of 100

In the Middle Ages the glimpsing of this powerful half lion and half eagle creature from the Celtic Netherworld temporarily imbued its viewer with physical and spiritual prowess, power in love and over one's enemies, portended good fortune, helth and wisdom. There were even stories of deceased knights seen on the backs of flying Gryphons, come to intervene in the affairs of men.
