As for Ra, they see this issue through a cultural background. Not a biggie.
Quote:92.28 Questioner: Would the half moon on the crown represent the receptivity of the subconscious mind?
Ra: I am Ra. This symbol is not given by Ra but it is not distasteful for within your own culture the moon represents the feminine, the sun the masculine. Thusly we accept this portion as a portion of the image, for it seems without significant distortion.
Great quote, and I agree, we assign our own symbols. There is no right or wrong.
