This is true, and I have to admit it's one of my weaknesses. I have a
*horrible* time realizing what I think of as common knowledge isn't. I do
think what Aviva found about the hermeticists helps the Light/Sun theory.
Hmm. I just took a quick look through my copy of the Book of the Dead, and I
did see some pics of Re, the sun god, carrying an ahnk. But he wasn't the
only one. I saw one pic of Hathor carrying an ahnk, another god I can't
remember, and rows of gods, each carrying or with an ahnk. Sometimes Re was
part of the row, sometimes not. But this is _really_ getting nitpiky, even
for me.
In any case, I'd say that ahnks fit as Light/Sun symbols.
Hugs and Kisses,

One scene I would have loved to have seen is the first time a cross burned
LC. Regardless of why they burn vamps, it still must have come as a big
surprise. Just think of the blow to his ego. Gods couldn't destroy him, but
two sticks of wood could! {snicker}

Me too. Painful, isn't it?

That would be interesting, but I, personally, don't want to see LaCroix
hurt.

That would be boring. As a writer, you know that if you don't hurt
your characters in some way, then it makes for a boring story. With
some sort of pain, characters can't develop.
(I'm picturing LaCroix raising an eyebrow, "I'm much too old and
powerful to develop."<g>)
LaCroix has already been hurt many times. The flaming stake
through his heart and having the disease (in Fever) come immediately
to mind. Besides, as has been shown in episodes, he's already been
hurt by crosses as they do affect him.

There is also the question of maximum altitude, which
plays a huge factor in covering distances. I guess I
always sort of figured they could fly, in general, as
fast as something like a glider/hang glider and go
faster than a car. In one of my fics, I had vampires
able to fly from Seattle to Portland, OR in an hour or
so, and it is a 3.5 hour car/train ride, which puts
them at about 150MPH.
