Talk:Sign of the horns

message: This is not what is known as the Apana Mudra in Hinduism. Mudras control prana by touching tips or bases of fingers. Sign of horns does it not. Miodrag1963 (talk) 01:07, 14 April 2018 (UTC)

message: The sign of the horns is used during religious rituals in Wicca, to invoke or represent the Horned god.
Is it, really? Because, I've never heard anything about this, and I have a moderate degree of familiarity with Wicca.

message: Years ago I made an edit to Wiki when I noticed that the first representation of the horns gesture in modern media was by Marlon Brando during the film 'Guys And Dolls'. I added my oservation to Wikipedia and speculated as to its meaning. Other instances of the gesture in media were later added, chronologically, but over time the chronological order was not maintained, and I believe that is to the detriment of the article. I recently learned more about the sign, from a programme on Italian art and culture by Anthony Graham-Dixon and realised that my speculation was ill-informed. Further reading of the Wiki article confirmed this, so I made the following edit to my article:
 I moved my comment on Brando to the top of the section to return the examples to a chronological order. I also changed the following speculation I made: "seeming to indicate it was a sign for snake eyes in the craps game he is playing for the gamblers' souls", for a more informed opinion: "seeming to indicate the Italian gesture, the 'corna', to ward off the bad luck of snake eyes in the craps game he is playing for the gamblers' souls".
For some reason my edit has been reverted. I believe that my edit improved the accuracy and coherance of the article, so to undo it was counterproductive, incoherent, and inaccurate. I appeal to Vaselineeeeeeee to reconsider their undo of my update
:Please provide a third party reliable source to support your claim (there wasn't one, so thats why it was removed and it will always be removed if one is not included with the claim) Thank you,  - FlightTime (open channel) 15:45, 9 February 2020 (UTC)

message: The source for Geezer Butler making the sign in a photograph in 1969 is an online fan site (footnote 19). The new Geezer Butler autobiography "Into the void : from birth to Black Sabbath and beyond" / Geezer Butler. New York : Dey St., 2023. ISBN: 9780063242500 includes the photo among the pages of plates in the middle of the book and gives the date as 1968. Maybe this should be considered the more authoritative source and the citation updated? 68.65.37.30 (talk) 16:51, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
