Gargoyles

The average stone statue of a Gargoyle is a common structure on Medieval
European constructs and architecture. On many old castles and cathedrals gargoyles were
added as a part of the decoration. Many learned people suggest that these statues were
intended to scare away evil spirits from the homes and holy places of the Medieval
Europeans. Gargoyles have also sprung up in achitecture in America and the New World.
Through these more modern Gargoyles are mearly added perhaps out of some sense of trying
to bring something of the old world to the new. Gargoyles are intended for protection. Protection against what? How can lifeless stone statues be expected to do anything? What if at one time in the distant past |
| Gargoyles were not as lifeless as they seem? Perhaps...just maybe...they were a mythical and magical race onto themselves. Able to be stone and flesh as they chose. Placed or appointed to protect homes and special places from those that would do them harm. True protectors and not just statues. Just maybe.... |
