Tong (extended) Represents flame, fire, fertility, sexual strength and spiritual power. In countries around the world point images and masks of idols with protruding tongue actively, taking possession of spiritual powers; often a union of male and female spirits. These images were the pagan rites essential for calling (demon) spirits. Gargoyles with protruding tongues which are found in most Gothic cathedrals, depict sexual / spiritual powers which it was thought that they protected the buildings against other spiritual powers.

 

The tongue may be a life-threatening weapon. She lies, curses and insults. She flatters, boasts, and grumbles. She can sow hate, destroy societies, damaged souls and commit character assassination. The tongue is a wild animal, thought the Middle Ages. The tongue must be tamed. Tongue breaks leg though she has none. The tongue has no bone, but it can break bones.
