Horns of Consecration

What are the Horns of Consecration? I mention them over and over in my mysteries. (In the shadow of the Bull and On the Horns of Death)

The horns, a symbolic representation of the horns of the sacred bull, were everywhere in Minoan Crete. Basically, two points standing upright and a hollow in between. They ranged in size from smaller ones that edged walkways and stairs to larger ones.

As I've discussed, one of the features of his culture was the bull leaping which, in my opinion, probably bridged sport and religion.
