The Whole Rabbit Beyond the Headstone: The Secret Symbolism of the Graveyard (part 2)
Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here!
In this week’s show we wrap up our second half of Rusted Throat’s tour of cemetery symbolism that you are bound to encounter at your local graveyard. We begin this episode by focusing on the controversial and culturally rich meaning behind the Edelweiss flower, the rose (it’s place in the pagan and Christian mysteries) before discussing the various things a floral crown might symbolize and why the devil loves guitar. In the extended show we discuss the ancient Egyptian tambourine, the Catholic symbolism used as a bulwark against sin, the secrets of the obelisk and how to identify the graves sponsored by America’s most secret and un-secret societies. Thank you and enjoy the show!
