Figure 134 is taken from plate xxiv., fig. 1, of Moor’s Hindu Pantheon.

It represents a subject often depicted by the Hindoos and the Greeks, viz., androgynism, the union of the male and female creators. The technical word is Arddha-Nari. The male on the right side bears the emblems of Siva or Mahadeva, the female on the left those of Parvati or Sacti. The bull and lioness are emblematic of the masculine and feminine powers. The mark on the temple indicates the union of the two; an aureole is seen around the head, as in modern pictures of saints. In this drawing the Ganges rises from the male, the idea being that the stream from Mahadeva is as copious and fertilising as that mighty river. The metaphor here depicted is common in the East, and is precisely the same as that quoted in Num. xxiv. 7, and also from some lost Hebrew book in John vii. 38. It will be noticed, that the Hindoos express androgyneity quite as conspicuously, but generally much less indelicately, than the Grecian artists.

UPDATE August 11, 2014

I found the scholar who can help us continue to put together all that I have collected re: coincidence as evidence thus far.

This site is fantastic from my POV.
How did I find it?
I had a Thoth thought and did a search of the terms ‘orion’s belt double labrys’ and this was the number one return given.

• Calendar House: Chapter 6 – Griffin & Labrys – Ancient Lights

Hence, perhaps, Snake (Winter), Bull (Spring), Lion/ess (Summer)—and Griffin in some supernatural, transcendent relation at a fourth cosmological point. In these gifts below (which include a jackal’s and goat’s head vessels) from Late Crete to the Egyptian court, pictured in the tomb of Rekhmire (in Evans Palace 2: 535), Bull, Lion/ess and Griffin stand out together, as they will in a much later form (Chapter 9).

Book (other chapters) ~ Ancient Lights

The ess highlighted by this author is a bonus meant for me.

In fact I plan to engage the author on his website forum found here Discussion  Forums
I have joined the Ancient Lights forum and my name on that forum is of course ‘Raphael’.

Griffin has a Minoan double, the “Genius” or Demon (or, Spirit Being)—at once fantastic and fearsome, protective, predatory, deathless, heraldic, and linked to the sky and stars.

As Ernest and Relke show (2002: 66, 71, Fig. 7), Taweret and an almost-identical deity, “Hippo” were astral deities, “fierce and protective, with a composite of feared and affectionate associations.” They were closely related to Ursa Major, which (in Egypt likened to a bull’s foreleg) never set below the Minoans’ north horizon—and to Draco, the great composite snake, dragon, falcon and/or griffin, winding round the Pole Star. According to one early (though later) writer on astronomy, Eudoxus of Cnidus (a Minoan-affiliated Carian city), sailors called Ursa Minor stars “The Dragon’s Wing”: synecdoche for a stellar guide over the sea, which itself was equated with the cosmic void.

Wow – I AM in awe of what the author Dr. Jack Dempsey has put together.
Finally I have found somebody who I can discuss the deeper meanings of my recovery with, somebody who knows more than me about the symbolism behind the Man, the Eagle, the Lion, and the Bull.
