Ram

The Ram is traditional to Aries. The Ram is Aries by meaning. The attribution refers to its method of combatively butting. Note that the symbolism of the Lamb is by no means the same. it pertains rather to Tipareth in the formula of the Aeon of Osiris. This is all probably derived from the fact that the lamb is the tenderest meat available and therefore the priests insisted on lamb being sacrificed for their benefit. The true nature of the Lamb would be rather Venusian or Lunar, but it would be better to cut it altogether out of the symbolic scheme, because of the priestly connection which the idea has suffered.
