So I’m rarely on this forum anymore for obvious reasons, but I watched and responded to this interview on my free/accessible pubs. Two of my comments below the YouTube interview video were removed without reason and my account on TikTok has been regularly suppressed since. I was mainly responding to the noticeable gap in general understanding (of the interviewer and interviewee) when it comes to the meaning/significance of the cross itself. My translation supports the idea that the cross is referring to “AILM” in Ogham. And the charm serving as a form of security, due to the medical nature of the text.. the risk of danger and/or exposure the charm is serving as a “honeypot” and as a block for certain readers. (The German reading intended to lure the superficial readers/the malicious and for blocking the superstitious and “god-fearing”)
In terms of moderation of this forum, it does seem to be compromised when one main moderator is also making popular and largely biased content on large platforms. And by largely biased, I mean this individual has their own theory they want to prove and excludes a lot of historical influences of the time. It brings to question the intent of the forum, the possible extractive nature of it, especially when so many of its regular users are using llms/ai and also participating in documented harassment/suppression off the forum.
Just some thoughts here, no accusations.
