Thread Name: Hal An Tow: notes?
Subject: RE: Hal An Tow: notes?
If cuckoldry doesn't have fertility connotations what does? Where did the traditional symbolism come from? And, if you know the answer to that, where can I go to find the Holy Grail?

PS the horned verse is in both versions I've heard or read. I always thought it was a hunting horn. Dumb me. But it was singular in both. Maybe the song was cleaned up?
