Reply #6: Goat Horns sign - - -

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corna

The corna (Italian for horns, also mano cornuta, horned hand) is a gesture with a vulgar meaning in Mediterranean countries. Its origins can be traced to Ancient Greece. It is realized by stretching the index and little fingers while holding the middle and ring fingers down with the thumb.

The same gesture is used for warding off bad luck or the evil eye. It is also used as a reference to Satan and Satanism, at least since the 1960s, and has a variety of meanings in heavy metal, where it is also known as devil horns, goat horns, metal horns, throwing the goat, evil fingers, Pommesgabel, mano cornuto, peka evil or just the horns. There is a theory suggesting that Corna is the antagonist of the Sign of the Cross, where three fingers brought to a point symbolize the Holy Trinity. The opposite of the Holy Trinity is the Unholy Trinity (Satan, Antichrist and the False Prophet), represented by the three fingers of the Corna.
