I haven't read the specific article, but if it's just "A magic forge", I don't think that's necessarily magitech. Try this on for size - a magical anvil that a God or some other Entity has. And this is where he creates living entities. He slaps a fiend and a human down on his anvil, and hits them with his Hammer of Making until they are fused together, and then purified into their final form.I'm pretty sure that the Hound Archons had a reason for being dog-headed; weren't they hunters (i.e. bloodhounds), or protectors (i.e. watch dog)? Loyal and dependable? Just saying that there might be some symbolic reason for the choice. But, I agree that animal-head = some sort of association. I'm pretty sure Anubis had a reason for being animal headed. Bast was fiercely protective, and actually a war goddess at one time, and thus a lioness - but after a time her depictions and venerations became less fierce, because domestic cats are more tender towards their offspring, she was seen as a more domesticated cat (according to Wiki).</blockquote>
