A clue to why I get a little confused sometimes. Researching 12th century Scandinavian/Celtic Music I learned that sacred Irish (Celtic/Gaelic) harps were always stored in otter skins.

For me, personally, I kind of lost faith when it was so heavily depicted in Dan Brown’s book The Da Vinci Code and the movie that followed. I think I’ve re-thunk that thought.
