Anyone know what the shape of Langhorn's scepter is? | |

The first shape I can think of is a stick with a nob on the top. But this doesn't lend itself well to being traced. My second thought is a cross and with the occasion mentions of plagiarism in the holy writ, this could be the case(without the crucified man common for some denomination of Christianity), but this would seem a rather bizarre symbol for Langhorn to adopt. He is not perpetuating Christianity after all and there is no reason to use either the Latin character t or(T as it would have actually been) or a symbol of a device of torture and execution. My last though is that it could just be a line and that tracing it is tracing a rectangle perhaps following a path approximately the sternum, but this seems to lack any sybological content, being merely a simple geometrical shape and the CoGA not being the pythagorean cult.

I can't recall the action being described in detail anywhere. Can,'t even remember if it is spoken of as being traced on the chest. If not I suppose it could be a simple rod; touch forehead, lips and sternum in that order submitting thoughts, words and heart to God's rule. Or your guess is as good as mine.

I'd pictured it as a sort of minimal cross: a long upright rod with very short perpendicular protrusions near the top. It's not quite as bare as a mere rod, but there's no need to indicate the protrusions when signing it, and it's more of a scepter than a strict, knob-less rod with be. |

In OAR, the scepter of the angel at the beginning is said to be a simple rod of crystal about half the length of the forearm.

'Oh, oh' he said in English. Evidently, he had completely mastered that language. |

I had always pictured a shepherd's crook, for some reason I felt like it's was described that way, but I couldn't give you textev. I always enjoyed the irony that when they sign the scepter that they're essentially making a question mark in the air.
