CERNE-300x225

'Up Yours'? or something deeper. 'Left' arm for a 'snake'?

The Cerne Abbas Giant, mentioned in the same book, [J. Michell]..the stone age equivalent of the same. Proof...Cerne, a direct link to 'Cernunnos' and Abbas, a link to the word abbey and abba. Both an indirect link to the word 'father', i.e.,higher of the lower. Question. If the 'giant' represents 'lower', what within landscape symbolism would represent 'higher'? Think about it, in relation to a 'development,' as well as 'flat tops'[keys]. Explained within.

As well as Mr Lethbridges research on Gog Magog, in his book of the same, i.e.,pagan equivalent of higher/lower. In 'its' most primitive form. [ Explained elsewhere]. Or Mr Z. Sitchin's book, 'The 12th Planet'. Understanding this subject explains why the word 'Nefilim'[Giant] and Mr Sitchins interpretation of the same...'those who were cast down', are; to all intent and purpose; one of the same thing. I.e., a link to 'the fall' symbolism, and that link to 'lower within the higher'.

Side note: "The small island of Salamis, home of the Great Aias, physically the largest warrior at Troy, was linked to Argo Navis, the largest constellation in Homer's day, but since divided into three." AND/OR " only the second strongest warrior - represented with Canopus - the 2nd brightest star in the heavens. The brightest star {Sirius} allocated to Achilles the ''warrior without equal''. ['Homer's Secret Iliad'].

"Sirius is sometimes called the 'Sun behind the sun', indicating that while the star we call the Sun is related to our physical center of Self in our Solar Plexus and the expression of our Selves within the physical earth, Sirius represents a more hidden center." [From the book by W. Berg].

Question. Fantasists?

"Who were the Gog and Magog people? This question is connected with the question, who was Dhu al Qarnayn? ''Lord of two Qarns'' [horns]. Or the ''Lord of two epochs'' [i.e.,the tail end of something - and the beginning of something else]. Answer found elsewhere, as well as Sura eighteen of the Quran translated by Yusuf Ali.

And/or: ''Pandora is one of the earliest synpotic accounts of alchemy, and it may be the first that was written in German....The author was the physician Hieronymus Reusner who was a student of Paracelsus...The chief value of Pandora lies in the series of the eighteen symbolical pictures at the end of the volume.'' [Page 144 'Alchemical Studies' / C.G. Jung].

Ayumu Hirano - the corkscrew 'spiral' king.

"The number 18, which appears in pre-Columbian measures of time, has a certain importance in the West. This may be explained by the connection to the circular number 360, or possibly with an astral number, since eclipses of the sun and moon recur in the same sequence after 18 years. It is not surprising that 18 plays a role in the Cabala, for its numerical number corresponds to the word for living [hay], as well as the name David...In medieval Christianity exegesis it is sometimes explained as the sum of 10 + 8, which is taken to mean the fulfillment of the Law through grace. This interpretation was derived from Luke 13:11, where it is told that Jesus healed a woman who had a spirit of infirmity for 18 years, [those numbers 13:11 also imply something. This readers input]. Elsewhere, the number was taken as the product of 3x6, which represents faith in the Trinity coordinated with pious works. Islamic tradition knows the 18 consonants of the introductory formula Bismi'llahi'r - rahmani'r - rahim [''in the name of god the all merciful, the all compassionate'']. Perhaps the common idea that there are 18000 worlds is derived from the number of the blessed formula by which every act has to begin. For the Mevlevi, the Sufi order of the Whirling Dervishers, 18 is one of the central numbers..." [Extract from 'The Mystery of Numbers'. Mentioned elsewhere].

"One can escape the prison of the eclipse, only by turning to the moral consciousness of the transcendent self..." [Extract from the book by Tomberg]. Try Part 4.

Moon and Sun. As a means...?

Side note: ''Before eating Nikola Tesla - 'the father of electricity' - polished each piece of cutlery with eighteen napkins''. [QI Elves].

''Then one day she dares to enter the synagogue when he is teaching. She watches Jesus approach a woman crippled for 18 years. He puts his hand on the woman’s stooped back and immediately she straightens up {'right angle'?}. Surprise, delight, and anger ripple through the onlookers. The synagogue leaders challenge the morality of his healing on the Sabbath. With an unpretentious authority Jesus holds his ground, exclaiming that it was only right that this woman, bound by Satan, be set free on the Sabbath day (Luke 13:10-17).'' [Novena: 'Nine Days With Mary Magdalene' / Magdala/Israel / 2022].

“If I drive out demons by the finger of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” [Luke 11:20].

''Transforming fingers''?

A working example: ''The way of 'marriage' seems fraught with....all consuming passion. More often than not, the hungry inner self has been eclipsed by the outer personality....Within these eclipsed areas - where our needs, wants and beliefs remain secret, even to ourselves - lies ones shadow....Two halfs never created a whole but only another half so long as the shadow remains eclipsed.'' [Pages 84/85/104 'Dreams of Isis: A Womans Spiritual Sojourn' / N. Ellis].

''Called by astronomers the First Point of Aries, this junction where the sun crosses the equator in its northward journey marks zero point  in the measurement of right ascension which can be conceptualized as celestial longitude.'' [Page 117 'The Orion Zone' / G. A. David].

chacoSide note: And/or {something to ponder on}: "And it was not only during the darkest time of the year - when the nights are at their longest - but it was also under the sign of 'virgin intelligence' eclipsed by human terrestrial intelligence that the nativity of Jesus Christ took place...Do not be scandalised, dear Unknown friend, by the fact that you find yourself confronted with the rosary prayer in the Hermetic meditation on the 18th Arcanum of the Tarot - the Arcanum which teaches how to surmount 'eclipsed lunar intelligence'. Esotericism is not a collection of extraordinary and unknown things, but rather it is above all a less ordinary and less known way of seeing ordinary and known things - of seeing their profundity." [Pages 499/516 'Letter 18, The Moon, within the book 'Meditations on the Tarot'].

Question. ''Surmount'' in relation to an 'overhang'?

N.B. ''Prayer'' is only one method of 'overcoming' that obstacle. A Study program does the same. If ONLY in determining a mind-set.

Side note: The author of the book 'The Death of Gods in Ancient Egypt' {J. Sellers} - believes that the eclipse {of the sun ONLY} was used along with precession as part of their religion. Even though there is no written evidence of it. Indeed they did - and not just solar ones. An ''eclipse'' is a natural feature of this world - the world that we all live in - and is used {especially by the ancients - before the written word came into common use - } to 'describe' something internal. That external quantity is used to 'see' something of an inner quality. 

Try Her-Bak to take it further. And/or 3:6 etc.

"When you pray and study, let {my words} not forsake you''. [Paraphrase of Proverbs 4:21. Taken from the book 'Meditation and Kabbalah].

A studious eye?

A working example: ''One book opens another: the philosopher tells us truly. There is no understanding of the Art without long and anxious study of those texts in which the 'angelic' keys to our Philosophy are concealed. However, to the uninitiated eye, the bogus recipes of some imbecile puffer can appear as wise as the works of the Bridlington Canon {i.e., Ripley}. [Page 55 'Mercurius' / P. Harpur].

Question. Hocus pocus or a genuine mind set?

Side note: Speculation about what that 'star' could have been - around the time of the 'birth' of Christ: ''There was a lunar eclipse one month before 'Passover' in the year Herod died {4BC}." {'Sky at Night' / Xmas edition}.

Sphinx is to 'fire' as Sibyl is to 'Soul'.

''Paschal full moon. The paschal full moon is the ecclesiastical full moon of the northern spring and is used in the determination of the date of Easter. The name "paschal" is derived from "Pascha", a transliteration of the Aramaic word meaning Passover.''

Side note: "Eastertide (also known as Eastertime or the Easter season) or Paschaltide (also known as Paschaltime or the Paschal season) is a festal season in the liturgical year of Christianity that focuses on celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Preceded by Lent, it begins on Easter Sunday, which initiates Easter Week in Western Christianity, and Bright Week in Eastern Christianity.

Man in the moon?

There are several Eastertide customs across the Christian world, including flowering the cross,[1] sunrise services, the wearing of Easter bonnets by women,[2] exclaiming the Paschal greetingclipping the church,[3] and decorating Easter eggs, a symbol of the empty tomb.[4][5][6] Additional Eastertide traditions include egg hunting, eating special Easter foods and watching Easter parades.[7][8] The Easter lily, a symbol of the resurrection in Christianity,[9][10] traditionally decorates the chancel area of churches on this day and for the rest of Eastertide.[11]

Traditionally lasting 40 days to commemorate the time the resurrected Jesus remained on earth before his Ascension, in some western churches Eastertide lasts 50 days to conclude on the day of Pentecost or Whitsunday."

Division.

And/or: "In C. A. Gaskell's Classic Myth's, we note that the Three Fates {Clotho, Lachesis and Atrophos} were the spinners of the thread of human destiny. They were provided with SHEARS, with which to cut off when they pleased, and, according to Hesiod, were the daughters of the night. Clotho held the distaff, Lachesis spun the thread, and Atrophos cut it off when it was ended....We are informed that the Fates dwelt in the deep abyss of Demogorgon, and with UNwearied fingers drew out the threads of life...Gemini is the branching-off month or period of the year...It has to do, in utero, with the branching off of the nerves from the head, to form the body. The distaff refers to the base of the brain, where seventyfive percent of the nerves of the head concentrate and cross, appearing to wind upon themselves {'PEG'?}....The Three Fates are therefore concerned with the three decans of Gemini. Clotho, the youngest, is allocated the first decan - holder of the distaff. Lachesis spins and draws out the thread, while Atrophos DIVIDES it so that it may form the great nerve branch in either legs....In some mythological pictures {and/or hieroglyphs/correspondences} - the thread is represented as first appearing at the FEET of Jove {'footstool'?} and his heavenly spouse...The etymology of the word 'shear' corresponds to "the parting or fork of the human body" {'Y'?} - hence the limbs. An archaic interpretation of shear is to make an incision or cleft...

An innocent women abroad.

''Red king."

Continued: ''However, we all know that white  must have its twin or balancer in shadow. This is the menstrual rhythm of the black goddesses - the new moon. The value of this rhythm in the cosmic sense is Necessity - pathologising and wounding in psyche and substance. Here is the raw, open and unpredictable Dionysian current, the Romantic in culture. In alchemical lore this is the black of the dark moon and eclipsed moon {hidden or concealed light of the sun}. The hidden masculine rises on the outer feminine as recognition by the woman of the inner husband, other lover, inner-child or Red King: the animus....Here is the inspiration of death {daath?} as a teacher, but not of morbidity, for the potential 'child' that is as yet unborn - is reborn in an INNER-SENSE {in innocence}, as a deepening to fresh values.....'' [Page 254 'Fruits of the Moon Tree' / A. Bleakley].

And/or ''Conjunction {triple} of Jupiter and Saturn {7BC} - 23rd September."

"Saturn is the furthest planet that can be seen with the naked eye."

Question. Does that give clews as to the construction of such monuments in Egypt in relation their most noteworthy of all 'high priests' - IMHOTEP?

''At the start of the 17th century the world was still fraught with wonders and nothing seemed impossible. In December 1603 there was a conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter, the hour hands of the cosmic clock which usher in new epochs and crumbles old orders. New stars suddenly appeared in the constellations of the Serpent and the Swan, and fears and hopes were rife throughout Europe. In England the long reign of the Tudors came to an end....'' ['Robert Fludd' / J. Godwin].

Jupiter/Saturn December 2020 ?

Hapton Court with maze {labyrinth?} in the middle of a u-turn of the Thames river {S/W}.

Henry the 8th and William of 'Orange' {conjunction?}.

''Tower''?

Side note: The crown jewels consists of over 0nehunderd and forty objects {140} - including a spoon and walking stick and in 1671 Thomas Blood attempted to steal them. Been in the Tower since the 1600s. Used in the coronation of British monarchs. ['Lightening' / BBC2 /S2 E27].

''There are 3 teaspoons in one tablespoon.''

Continued: A {working} example: {i.e., something hinted at}: "Strange to tell, but I did not enter the cave; in fact, I never chose to enter it at all during those three days. Why is still uncertain...But whatever the case, I decided to set up camp on the far western edge of the cave mouth - an ideal location where the path broadened out, and was protected somewhat by an overhang. The old apple tree was long gone, yet faint ghost-like traces of it could be seen on the ground where a stump once was." ['Lost Books of Merlin' / D. Monroe].

'Stump'?

Try ''Seahenge'' and/or ''overhang'' {i.e., what 'position' is generally associated with it}?

N.B. Chaco Canyon {S/W} - with overhang and images. Enlarged elsewhere.

And/or: ''At Hatshepsut’s mortuary temple on the Nile, a withered ancient tree stump defies the unrelenting Egyptian sun, still standing as a testimony to the female royal’s influence and political prowess.

'Fat' of the land.

Supposedly, this myrrh tree dates back to one of the many expeditions commissioned by Hatshepsut some 3,500 years ago. According to the narrative, the tree was brought back from one of the monarch’s seafaring delegations to Punt, which is described as a land on the Red Sea (most likely present-day Somalia and other parts of the Horn of Africa). The myrrh was then planted next to the grand mortuary temple of Hatshepsut, also called Djeser-Djeseru, which translates to “Holy of Holies.”

Side note: “Ash Wednesday is the much higher value and deserves the full measure of our devotion,” he said. “I ask with all respect that we maintain the unique importance of Ash Wednesday. If you would like to wine and dine your Valentine, please do so on the Tuesday before. February 13 is Mardi Gras, ‘Fat Tuesday,’ a perfect day to feast and celebrate!”

'Thirteen'.

"A pregnant pause (or silence) is a pause or silence that is laden with meaning or significance."  N.B. 'Navel' = middle of human form.

Continued: "An interdisciplinary project involving biologists, Egyptologists, and anthropologists has discovered evidence that may pinpoint the actual location of the trading region of Punt, based on the genetic analysis of an ancient mummified baboon discovered in the ‘Valley of the Monkeys’ in 1905. A previous American study (in 2020) using stable isotopes (chemical signatures found in the teeth of animals) identified the Horn of Africa as the region from which ancient baboons originated. The new research, led by the University of Konstanz in Germany, used genetic analysis to compare the animal specimen to the genetic diversity of baboons living across the African continent, as well as to samples from 100- to 150 year-old specimens from museum collections. Early texts mention that baboons were imported into Egypt from Punt, with the last known expeditions taking place there during the Late Period, which matches the date of the mummified baboon. The team was able to pinpoint the baboon’s origin to the coastal port of ancient Adulis in Eritrea, which was known as a centre for the import of primates during the Graeco-Roman Period. The researchers suggest that Punt and Adulis could be the same geographical location, with the name having changed over thousands of years." ['The Past'].

Continued: Come back to it later, has one does in any subject. Only put in to show the extent and [depth?] of this subjects material base - if only for this reader - over countless generations; and multiple authors, i.e.,as one example: "Morris dance - {Wikipedia} - The name is first recorded in the mid-15th century as Morisk dance, moreys daunce, morisse daunce, i.e. "Moorish dance". Enlarged elsewhere.

"Today's travellers passing through Winster in Derbyshire may enjoy the unexpected sight of a man dressed as a woman from a centuries old tradition. So old, in fact, that nobody knows where it came from - Morris dancing..." [Britain's Ancient Tracks'. Narrated by T. Robinson. Series 2. Episode 3]. Other clues elsewhere.

''Who guides the keel that plows the deep''. Enlarged elsewhere.

Side note: ''Like other members of the Clematis genus, old man's beard or traveller's joy climbs (or scrambles ) over other plants using its leaf stalks (petioles) and flower stalks. The leaves are not unlike the familiar garden forms of Clematis. The leaf stalks entwine around any convenient support / structure in their vicinity and then lignify (become woody).''

'Plough Monday' dance by the Royal Liberty Morris. Try ''plough''.

Hatshepsut with 'beard'. A balance? ANIMUS?

Continued: {from a different perspective}: "For shamans, this state of balance between the feminine and masculine, magnetic and dynamic, yin and yang aspects of themselves is of supreme importance. Many shamans have believed that to be a truly excellent shaman, one must bring together these polarities in harmony and balance. Historically, there are many accounts of shamans cross-dressing...There are accounts of this ritualized merging into the opposite sex among Native American shamans from the Arapaho, Cheyenne, and Ute tribes as well as etc, etc,...This is not caused by a cross-cultural disorder, but is done purposely as a practice to attain balance...an internal unity that brings together the male and female aspects within themselves into a sacred marriage..." ['Secrets of Shamanism'].

Try ''Marriage'' / ''Dynamic/static'' ''feast of fools'' to see 'it' in its broader {universal?} context.

A beginning of something {''unfold''} = 'child' link?

And/or: Static in relation to: S/W / ''Under {'in'?} the Horizon'' / and Nadir. And Dynamic in relation to: S/E / ''Above {'of'?} the Horizon'' / and Zenith. Enlarged throughout.

A working example: "God is dynamic. Evolution is a subjective, human term for our experience of his dynamism." [Page 141 'The Sword in the Sun'].

A leap across a gap?

''Twelve-_Lords_a_Leaping.''

From a different perspective: "This much is the basic pattern, which can be enacted by one individual, or by a group. The physical movement is essential, and the transformative power does not awaken fully without it. It may be done as a dance to drumming and music, or as a simple processional movement. Traditionally it is accompanied by spinning and leaping. Many ritual dances from folk tradition, particularly those preserving death and resurrection symbolism, use this type of pattern....Celtic saints for example, were renowned for leaping…." 'The Way of Merlin' / R. Stewart. Italics, this readers].

Question. A leap of faith or that intuitive one?

ALL as a means....?

As is:'' A drum of hareskin…'' {Page 193 - Douglas Monroe}.

morris-2

A leap of something - all in unison?

And/or: "Moriscos (Spanish: [mo'?iskos], Catalan: [mu'?iskus], [mo'?iskos]; Portuguese: mouriscos [mo(w)'?i?ku?], [mo(w)'?iskus]; meaning "Moorish") were former Muslims who converted or were coerced into converting to Christianity, after Spain finally outlawed the open practice of Islam by its sizeable Muslim population (termed Mudejar) in the early 16th century...The Inquisition was aimed mostly at Jews and Muslims who had overtly converted to Christianity but were thought to be practicing their faiths secretly. They were respectively called marranos and moriscos. However, in 1567 King Philip II directed Moriscos to give up their Arabic names and traditional dress, and prohibited the use of Arabic. In reaction, there was a Morisco uprising in the Alpujarras from 1568 to 1571. In the years from 1609 to 1614, the government expelled Moriscos. The historian Henri Lapeyre estimated that this affected 300,000 out of an estimated total of 8 million inhabitants.

According to L. P. Harvey, the two different meanings of the word 'morisco' have resulted in mistakes where modern scholars misread historical text containing morisco in the older meaning as having the newer meaning. In the early years after the forced conversions, the Christians used the terms ''New Christians'', ''New converts'', or ''New Christians , converted from being Moors''. [Wiki].

All from Spain. Recognise any?

''Zero'' ? As a means to begin something. The start of something.

And/or: ''We may never know the full story of what communications there were between the secret mystics of the East and those of the West. However, two points of contact certainly did exist in medieval times. One was the Moorish kingdom in Spain, which lasted from A. D. 711 until 1492. The scholarship of the Moorish doctors was far in advance of that of most of Europe. They gave us the Arabic number signs - a great advance upon the clumsy Roman numerals; and many terms in astronomy and chemistry derived from Arabic. So are the astrological terms 'zenith' and 'nadir'. It was natural that men of such comparatively advanced scientific learning should be accused of 'sorcery'. However, the Moors also had a considerable interest in occult philosophy, alchemy, astrology, and 'magic' generally. The city of Toledo in Spain especially so....'' ['An ABC of Witchcraft: Past and Present' / Doreen Valiente].

Side note: Toledo, the place where Juan De Yepes Y Alvarez {St. John of the Cross} wrote his best known work - while in imprisonment - ''Dark Night of the Soul.'' Other possible 'keys' = Born 24th {'twentyfour'} June. Ordained at twentyfive + 25 chapters in Part II of the above book. 'Fourteen' in the first part. Beatified in 1675 {'seventyfive'}, canonized in 1726 {'twentysix'} and became a doctor of the church in 1926. Belonged to a Carmelite order that became known as 'shoeless'. His persecution ended in 1578 after which: ''He wrote the majority of his works - most of which remained UNFINISHED - during the next 'nine' years.'' [Intro. to above book. Translated by E. A.  peers].

To be 'finished' by the reader?

The mythic Hobby - Horse.

Continued: ''There are two rival horses and their fiercely loyal bands of supporters at Padstow: the Old 'Oss is decorated with white and red, and its supporters wear red scarves to show their allegiance; the Blue Ribbon 'Oss (or "Peace 'Oss") is decorated with white and blue and its supporters follow suit. A "Teaser" waving a padded club dances in front of each 'Oss, accompanied, as they dance through the narrow streets, by a lively band of melodeons, accordions and drums playing Padstow's traditional May Song. The 'Osses sometimes capture young women beneath the skirt of the hobby horse; often they emerge smeared with black.'' [Wiki].

Try 'Dark Aphrodite' / 'Black Madonna' to get into that universal mindset.

Continued: ''Zero'' ? As a means to begin something. The start of something.

A {working?} example: "Venus is called the planet of 'love', by those who do not know about the mysteries,'' he had said. This starting us out on a long journey in search of arcane images. We knew that the esoteric Venus was the planet of inner light, and that love itself is an expression of this phosphorescence. His concluding sentence on that day had puzzled us however: "After an eclipse of Venus, the soul must become a wanderer for a while. 'Venus' is the inner flame; she finds it hard to bear the darkness of eclipse.'' We had not understood then, but now we did, for we were living through such an eclipse..." ['The Zelator'].

A side step: N.B. 13th King of Copan {'Holy' Kings} - whose name = 'Eighteen Are The Images of the God' - nicknamed 18 Rabbit. Hare link? Try ''13'' to add or detract from - while recalling what ''18'' represents.

Side note: ''Before eating Nikola Tesla - 'the father of electricity' - polished each piece of cutlery with eighteen napkins''. [QI Elves].

"Analogy of same. Different time; different author..."Formally it may be said, my whole being was possessed by egoism. All my manifestations and experiences flowed from my vanity......and from then on there gradually arose in me that ''something'' which has brought the whole of me to the unshakable conviction that, apart from the vanities of life, there exists a ''something else'' which must be the aim and ideal of every more or less thinking man, and that it is only this something else which may make a man really happy and give him real values, instead of the illusory ''goods'' with which in ordinary life he is always and in everything full." [Chapter 10 'Meetings with Remarkable Men'. Mentioned elsewhere].

Recall the same word {i.e., "something" - in the 'Help' section}.

Eastern equivalent..."The ego principle = ahamkara = ''i do,'' is the root cause of dualism [i.e.,higher/lower etc.,] or the seeming separation between man and his 'creator'. Ahamkara brings human beings under the sway of 'maya' {cosmic delusion'}, by which the subject 'ego' falsely appears as object..." Hence the link to objectivity - benefit of. Especially when its related to that ''internal'' stuff. See it? i.e.,.

"To remove the veil of maya is to uncover the secret of creation." [Both extracts from the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi' ].

Recesses = 'shadows'? 'Gap' to enlarge.

Shekhinah to enlarge.

And/or: {as a working example}: ''The Torah is situated between two houses, one recondite and on high, the other more accessible. The one on high is the 'Great Voice' referred to in the verse: 'a great voice which did not cease' {Deut. v, 22}. This voice is in the recesses and is not heard or revealed, and when it issues from the throat {Taurus?} it utters the aspirate without sound and it 'flows' on without ceasing, though it is so tenuous as to be inaudible. From this issues the Torah which is the 'voice' of Jacob....This 'Great Voice' which cannot be heard is a house to the supernal Wisdom {the female is always called a ''house''}, and the articulation we have mentioned is  a ''house'' to the voice of Jacob, which is the Torah, and therefore the Torah commences with the letter beth, which is, as it were, a 'house' to it.'' [Page 295 'Meditations on the Tarot'].

Winged or flightless as a means....?

Continued: "Ken, crystals are little more than rocks. I began to explain how crystals are actually alive and conscious something that i realize is outside of normal consciousness but not outside of science. I showed him the periodic table of the elements...how carbon, the 6th element, is associated with all organic chemistry and everything that is normally considered to be alive. But directly below it, one octave below, is the element of silicon, the primary element of quartz Acrystal and 80% of the crust of the earth." ['Serpent of Light' - mentioned elsewhere].

 

“The Happy Prince” is a short story by Oscar Wilde, part of his collection of short stories titled The Happy Prince and Other Tales, published in May 1888. Other short stories in this collection are “The Happy Prince,” “The Nightingale and the Rose,” “The Selfish Giant,” “The Devoted Friend,” and “The Remarkable Rocket.” {i.e., 'five' in total}.
The story revolves around a magnificent statue covered in finery that stands guard over a city rife with injustice and inequity. Formerly a prince who lived a lavish but ignorant life, he is now frozen and can only bear witness to the problems of the city’s citizens.'' Medusa to enlarge.

A working example: ''Her name is Emma Marshall, and she wrote Crystal Diamonds at the Hot Wells, published in 1888. It all about the theft of a brooch at the Hot Wells. And this was my first discovery of how important Bristol Diamonds were to the Hot Wells Spa.'' ['Meet the Author: Melanie King on Spa's' / Mirthy ].

On the shoulders of giants?

''Bristol Diamonds are quartz crystals found in geodes and geological rock formations which occur in dolomitic conglomerate in the Avon Gorge in Bristol, England. Their origin lies in geological processes of the Triassic period, about 250 to 200 million years ago.

The Bristol Diamonds became popular novelties for visitors to the spa at Hotwells, Bristol, during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Diarist John Evelyn and travel writer Celia Fiennes were amongst those who described them. In popular culture they became a synonym for something bright but worthless.''

''The signs Gemini and Virgo are alloted to Mercury. This association accounts for Virgo sometimes represented with the caduceus.''

Continued: ''After some eight or nine circulations {cycles?} all the signs are that the brightness of Sol is opening up the matter. As fast as the dragon reconstitutes itself below, so Sol's shining rays thrust down between its grey-green scales {'carapace'?}, causing it to writhe and seethe. The death is liable to be a slow and painful one - but how could the seperation of mercury and sulphur be otherwise? The thought of the Nigredo {shadow aspect} already forms at the back of my mind. I must try to concentrate {meditation?} on the Albedo {anima} beyond.'' [Page 125 ''Separation'' from the book 'Mercurius' ].

''It's not just a character from the X-Men movies: Quicksilver is the alternative name for the metal Mercury. Mercury, atomic number 80 {'eighty'} on the periodic table, is a heavy, silvery-white liquid metal.''

A working example: Directly underneath the Temple of the Feathered Serpent { Quetzalcoatl} within the Teotihuacan complex - at the end of a LONG TUNNEL, the length of a football field - is found {among other objects} Two women with one man {'child'?}, a rubber ball and liquid mercury.'' ['Expedition Unknown: Lost Mexican City' S3 EP1].

"A monk who had meditated long in search of Illumination finally received a great flash of insight. Rushing to his 'roshi' {Zen master}, the monk cried out, 'I have it! I have it!

''The name comes from the civil parish in which the site is located – Durrington, meaning "the farm of the deer people" ("doer" – deer, "ing" – people/tribe, "tun" – farm/settlement), and the large henge banks that surround it.[10] The "Dur" prefix is commonly found in this part of England; the Durotriges Celtic tribe inhabited this area before their defeat by the Romans in the mid first-century C.E. Also, Dorchester was originally known as Durnovaria, and smaller cities with related names (e.g., Durweston) and locations (e.g., Durborough Farm) are found in this region.''

And/or..."Long time ago, there was a race of giants that lived in Orkney; great bad tempered, blustering creatures. But they did like to come together and dance {'Pan' link}. One night they 'gathered together' on the plain between two bodies of water {'loch'} and danced in a circle. They danced and danced to the music of the fiddler. They enjoyed themselves so much they lost the 'track of time' - and before they knew what happened - the 'sun rose' and all turned to stone. There they remain to this day as the Ring of Brodgar."

Orkney isles = N/E. The start of something. 'Giant' in relation to gross or external or 'lower' {'transcendent third' link?}. The narrator believes a spiritual 'teacher' of some description was responsible, {similar to Schonfields hypothesis. Enlarged elsewhere} i.e.,he asks questions such as..."Do you get any sense of what religion or science or magic was practiced here...OR "Is this the origin of a new religion or maybe a different way of understanding the world; its amazing that something that might have kicked off throughout Britain may have started in these Islands {Orkney}...Could an individual be behind it - a messianic figure or an inspirational spiritual leader here 4-5000 years ago..." [Same program]. Other examples enlarged elsewhere.

That "...different way of understanding.'' - from the dawn of human kind {i.e.,oral tradition?} up to the present - as defined by a sole subject - not a sole individual. A leader was no doubt present. But a 'leader' does not automatically imply a 'teacher'. Yes or no?

N. B. "Adomnan, the biography of St. Columbus says that the Picts were called Orcadians."

Try ''Pict'' to see it from their perspective.

And/or: ''Etymologists usually interpret the element orc- as a Pictish tribal name meaning "young pig" or "young boar".[Notes 3][1] Speakers of Old Irish referred to the islands as Insi Orc "islands of the young pigs".[17][18] The archipelago is known as Ynysoedd Erch in modern Welsh and Arcaibh in modern Scottish Gaelic, the -aibh representing a fossilized prepositional case ending. Some earlier sources alternatively hypothesise that Orkney comes from the Latin orca, whale.[19][20] The Anglo-Saxon monk Bede refers to the islands as Orcades insulae in Ecclesiastical History of the English People.''

A work in progress: ''Aside from the now renamed anvil, there were more concrete clues to a Pictish presence at the Knowe of Swandro. This came in the form of an archaeomagnetic date from a hearth reflecting activity 500AD and a semicircular wall dated to the 8th century, from which the team recovered hipped bone pins and pieces of composite comb. This period also contained a dramatic event, as the ROUND-house walls appear to have suddenly collapsed inwards - the articulated skeleton of a piglet found trapped between two large stones.''

''A common theme in myth associated with the boar include the pursuit of the end to tyranny, the test of great courage, the elimination of evil customs, the overthrow of old cycles and the gaining of valour. In Melanesia, the tusks of the boar are the proper adornments of chieftains and elders. They are seen as representing the crescent moon and the continuance of life after death. In Vedic and Hindu traditions Vishnu takes on the form of a boar to save the earth from chaotic waters and is the first one to plough the soil. Vajnavrahi is the goddess of the dawn in the form of a sow who is the source of all life.'' [Page 81 'The Element Encyclopedia of Magical Creatures' / J + C Matthews].

A {present day?} example: "The results of the work of a man who takes on himself the role of teacher do not depend on whether or not he knows exactly the origin of what he teaches, but very much depends on whether or not his ideas come in actual fact from the esoteric center and whether he himself understands and can distinguish esoteric ideas, that is, ideas of objective knowledge, from subjective, scientific, and philosophical ideas." ['In Search of the Miraculous'].

Happy or Sad? BEAN ears?

As one example: ''Feast of Fools, popular festival during the Middle Ages, held on or about January 1, particularly in France, in which a mock bishop or pope was elected, ecclesiastical ritual was parodied, and low and high officials changed places.....

Over the course of a week, the ceremonies would be led by different people in positions of power within the church. On December 26, St. Stephen’s Day, the deacons led the ceremonies. The sub-priests (or vicars) were in charge on December 27, St. John’s Day, the choirboys on December 28, Holy Innocents’ Day, and the sub-deacons on the first of January, the Feast of the Circumcision.[5] There is some disagreement on whether the term Feast of Fools was originally used to refer to the collection of days[5] or specifically the celebrations taking place on the first of January.[6] The word "fool" is used as a synonym for humble, as was common in the 11th century, rather than the modern use that treats it as another term for clown or jester.....

The Feast of the Epiphany and twelfth night festivities which fell in early January. This celebration of the visitation of the magi was, like the other customs, incorporated in the Feast of Fools. Another popular belief roots the King of the Bean tradition in the Saturnalia of ancient Rome.''

Refresher: "The Agnisuryans respond to the sound. The waters ebb and flow. Let the 'magician' guard himself from drowning, at the point where land and water meet.

A working example: "On a rough, windy January day in the late thirteenth century, Lady de Mowbray, accompanied by her groom, rode along an uneven, muddy track near the village of Haxey, in Lincolnshire. Suddenly a fierce gust of wind caught her large silk hood and whisked it across a nearby field.

Not far off, thirteen men working on the land saw what had happened, and they all began to run after the hood, each striving for the honour of recovering it. As the hood hopped and swirled its way over the field, the men jostled and tumbled after it until, eventually, the strongest of them managed to catch it. But, although the captor was strong, he was too shy to hand the hood back personally to Lady Mowbray, so he gave it to one of his colleagues to return. Lady Mowbray had so enjoyed watching the chase that she promised to give each man a piece of land (her husband owned most of the parish of Haxey) if they could invent a game based on it. The game was to be played annually on 6th January.

Epiphany (/əˈpɪfəni/ ə-PIF-ə-nee), or Eid al-Ghitas (Arabicعيد الغِطاس),[4] also known as "Theophany" in Eastern Christian tradition,[5] is a Christian feast day commemorating the visit of the Magi, the baptism of Jesus, and the wedding at Cana.[6]

In Western Christianity, the feast commemorates principally (but not solely) the visit of the Magi to the Christ Child, and thus Jesus Christ's physical manifestation to the Gentiles.[7][8] It is sometimes called Three Kings' Day, and in some traditions celebrated as Little Christmas.[9] Moreover, the feast of the Epiphany, in some denominations, also initiates the liturgical season of Epiphanytide.

''Bridge'' on her left or right? As a means....?

Hooded Women: Lady de Mowbray.

Continued: "She christened the men ‘Plough Boggins’, and to the man who handed her the hood she gave the title ‘My Lord’, but to the shy silent stalwart who actually caught it she bestowed the name of ‘Fool’. She further decreed that, for the game, the players should wear red jackets, all except the Fool, who should wear a harlequin costume. Today, the ‘Haxey Hood Game’ represents one of the most elaborate revivals of the many ancient games played in England, although some people doubt whether Lady Mowbray and her wayward hood represent the true origin of the event. Another theory is that the game represents the survival of an ancient Celtic hilltop ceremony involving sun-worship and human sacrifice. The pagan practice of ‘purifying’ the sacrificial victims by ceremonial smoking is retained in a modified form in the modern re-enactment. Christian teachings opposed such barbaric practices and, as with other pagan festivals, they were eventually modified and incorporated into revised ceremonies.

Bridge over troubled waters?

Historians refer to the fact that right up to the period 1627-31, when the fens were drained, Haxey, in the Isle of Axholme, with its innumerable dykes, marshes and bogs, was virtually cut off from the rest of the country, and its inhabitants were regarded as savages. In such an area, old festivals would have flourished. Today’s ceremony follows very closely the ancient rules of the game. The ‘Lord’ is a permanent official, recognised for his knowledge of the game, and his eleven ‘Boggins’ are chosen at a meeting held on St. John’s Eve (26th December) at which time plans are made for the coming festivities. At midday on 6th January, work in the village comes to a halt, and soon a crowd assembles on Haxey Church Green."

'Twentysix'.

From a different perspective: ''My thesis is that the language of poetic myth anciently current in the Mediterranean and Northern Europe was a' magical' language bound up with popular religious ceremonies in honour of the moon goddess, or muse, some of them dating from the Old Stone Age, and that this remains the language of TRUE poetry....but it is only fair to warn the reader that this remains a very difficult book, as well as a very queer one {'peculiar'?}, to be avoided by anyone with a distracted, tired or rigidly scientific mind...."

'Stretched neck'?

''According to a theory presented in the 1630s, at the time of Swedish colonisation of coastal areas of Finland, colonists from Hälsingland in central Sweden had arrived at what is now known as the Vantaa River and called it Helsingå ("Helsinge River"), which gave rise to the names of Helsinge village and church in the 1300s.[24] This theory is questionable, because dialect research suggests that the settlers arrived from Uppland and nearby areas.[25] Others have proposed the name as having been derived from the Swedish word helsing, an archaic form of the word hals (neck), referring to the narrowest part of a river, the rapids.[26] Other Scandinavian cities at similar geographic locations were given similar names at the time, e.g. Helsingør in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden.

When a town was founded in Forsby village (later known as Koskela) in 1548, it was named Helsinge fors, "Helsinge rapids". The name refers to the Vanhankaupunginkoski [fi] rapids at the mouth of the river.[27] The town was commonly known as Helsinge or Helsing, from which the contemporary Finnish name arose.''

That is natural and obvious enough. Not so, however, our feeling in the case of the last named.

If we want to promote a real knowledge of mythology, we must not appeal at the outset to theoretical considerations and judgements {not even to Schelling's, from whom the quotation in praise of mythology comes}. Neither should we talk over much of ''sources'' {instead} - the water must be fetched and drunk fresh from the spring if it is to flow through us and quicken {'distillation'?} our hidden mythological talents.

Side note: The narrator Neil Oliver {'World of Stonehenge' / Part 1 } - talks about what man thought about in the religious sense 10,000 years ago in reference to deer antlers which are described as the remnants of a possible Mesolithic religion. ''Could have been a disguise more than likely ceremonial / ritual. When the person wore this he became something else, something more than a man. A transformation took place....becoming a red deer stag {or doe?} or maybe a hybrid...they were so much a part of nature, living within it, enveloped by it, and depending upon it not just in a practical everyday sense but in a profoundly magical and spiritual way as well.

''In 1517 the Ottomans took control of Palestine, leaving a deep footprint there. Pilgrims visiting Jerusalem today can still contemplate the city walls that Suleiman the Magnificent restored around the Old City.

Something 'new'?

At this time, pilgrimages were still rare, but the Franciscans, who lived there, wrote down what they saw. One of them was Fr. Francesco Quaresmio (1583-1650), an enthusiast of the Holy Land. After spending several years there, and even taking over the Custody of the Holy Land for a few months, he left us a detailed description in his book Terrae Sanctae Elucidatio. Fr. Quaresmio writes that Mary Magdalene’s castle was called Magdalum, and “some claim that they saw her house.” For this author, the name Magdalum indicated “the towers and magnificent walls with which the castle was equipped”—in Aramaic, magdala means tower or fortress. And he adds: “This is why St. Jerome said that Mary was rightly called ‘Magdalene’, that is, ‘the one of the tower’, because of her singular faith and unwavering courage.”

Fr. Quaresmio’s writing is interesting for several reasons, but I would like to underline just one: the symbolic interpretation of the Magdalene’s name. She was not only called this because she was originally from Magdala, but because she had a faith and love like a “magdala”, like a fortress. The Magdalene is like the holy city of Jerusalem, about which Isaiah sang: “We have a strong city; God makes salvation its walls and ramparts.”

''The Latin word basilica derives from Ancient Greek: βασιλική στοά, romanizedbasilikḗ stoá, lit.'royal stoa'. The first known basilica—the Basilica Porcia in the Roman Forum—was constructed in 184 BC by Marcus Porcius Cato (the Elder).[2] After the construction of Cato the Elder's basilica, the term came to be applied to any large covered hall, whether it was used for domestic purposes, was a commercial space, a military structure, or religious building.''

County flag of Rutland. 'Acorns and horseshoes'? 'Seven' HIDDEN spaces?

And/or: The origin of the name of the county is unclear. In a 1909 edition of Notes and Queries Harriot Tabor suggested "that the name should be Ruthland, and that there is a part of Essex called the Ruth, and that the ancient holders of it were called Ruthlanders, since altered to Rutland";[3] however, responses suggest "that Rutland, as a name, was earlier than the Norman Conquest. Its first mention, as "Roteland", occurs in the will of Edward the Confessor; in Domesday it is "the King's soc of Roteland", not being then a shire; and in the reign of John it was assigned as a dowry to Queen Isabella.[4]

The northwestern part of the county was recorded as Rutland, a detached part of Nottinghamshire, in Domesday Book; the south-eastern part as the wapentake of Wicelsea in Northamptonshire. It was first mentioned as a separate county in 1159, but as late as the 14th century it was referred to as the 'Soke of Rutland'. Rutlandshire is an archaic and rarely used alternative name.

The most ancient of Sea dragons.

Rutland may be from Old English hryþr or hrythr "cattle" and land "land", as a record from 1128 as Ritelanede shows. However, A Dictionary of British Place-Names by A D Mills gives an alternative etymology, "Rota's land", from the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) personal name and land land.[5] It is from the alternative interpretation of red land that the traditional nickname for a male person from Rutland, a "Raddle Man", derives.''

From a different perspective: ''Mughal minatures and paintings in books offer a window into  how water gardens changed over time.....Founded by a Muslim royal clan from Central Asia that traced its lineage to Genghis Khan....Many fed by narrow channels....One such garden surrounds the Taj Mahal....Some with octagonal pools....It was the women more than likely that got to enjoy them, as most of male members were chasing wars.'' [Page 29 'Archaeology' / Jan-Feb 2023].

Side note: ''The Austral Islands are the southernmost group of islands in French Polynesia {S/W}, and such paddles were traded with Europeans who visited the islands on whaling ships during the first half of the century; it has been conjectured that they developed from earlier ceremonial paddles. The paddle is highly decorated, with crisply-carved repeating triangular motifs including ‘toothed suns’, which comprise concentric circles surrounded by ‘niho’ or triangular teeth, a feature prominent in Austral Islands carving. Indeed, many such paddles would have been carved using sharks’ teeth. The pommel at the top of the shaft is encircled by stylised figures wearing alternating headdresses {'eight' in total}....''

The quadrilateral garden is divided by walkways or flowing water into four smaller parts.[1] They are found in countries throughout Western Asia and South Asia, including Iran and India.[2]

''The Chahrbagh-e Abbasi (or Charbagh Avenue) in Isfahan, Iran, built by Shah Abbas the Great in 1596, and the garden of the Taj Mahal in India are the most famous examples of this style. In the Charbagh at the Taj Mahal, each of the four parts contains sixteen flower beds.''

And/or: Hero and Leander is the Greek myth relating the story of Hero (Ancient Greek: Ἡρώ, Hērṓ; [hɛː.rɔ̌ː]), a priestess of Aphrodite (Venus in Roman mythology) who dwelt in a tower in Sestos on the European side of the Hellespont, and Leander (Ancient Greek: Λέανδρος, Léandros), a young man from Abydos on the opposite side of the strait. Leander fell in love with Hero and would swim every night across the Hellespont to spend time with her. Hero would light a lamp at the top of her tower to guide his way.

Beginning or end? Khafre to enlarge.

Succumbing to Leander's soft words and to his argument that Aphrodite, as the goddess of love and sex, would scorn the worship of a virgin, Hero succumbed to his charms and they made love. Their secret love affair lasted through a warm summer. They had agreed to part during winter and resume in the spring due to the nature of the waters. One stormy winter night, Leander saw the torch at the top of Hero's tower. The strong winter wind blew out Hero's light and Leander lost his way and drowned. When Hero saw his dead body, she threw herself over the edge of the tower to her death to be with him.

Their bodies washed up on shore together in an embrace and they were buried in a lover's tomb on the shore.''

Something closer to the 'mark' {key}: ''In Bible alchemy, Pisces represents Naphtali, the sixth son of Jacob, and means ''wrestling's of God.'' In the symbolism of the New Testament, Pisces corresponds to the disciple Philip. The birth of Benjamin is given in that wonderful allegory, the 35th {'thirtyfive'} chapter of Genesis. Benjamin is, therefore, the '13th' { 'thirteen'} child of Jacob.'' [Page 43 'The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation' / Inez Perry].

Side note 2: "The blessed name, YHVH, which is the mystery of the Middle Pillar, is called Atah {THOU}. This is the mystery of all of gods banners and appellations.

Our renewed heart, the ab, is the seat of consciousness; it houses the essential desire that fuels the creative process....and in these Mysteries as Wholeness - that create the birth canal through which our souls purpose incarnates as it takes form on Earth.....That is why it is called the 'Fall'. It is the Fall into incarnation.....Falling is just another side of rising.'' [Page 104 'Shamanic Mysteries of Egypt' / N. Scully + L. S. Wolf].

Recall information on Uas {'Was'} sceptre. 'Rising' only?

From a different perspective: {with something extra?}:  ''This concept of Celli Wig, a seat of government and therefore symbolic of the central recess of Arthurs soul, raises the whole question of the significance of the topographical description insisted on throughout this myth. That a 'boar hunt' should range from the west of Ireland, across the Irish Channel, to West Wales, thence to South Wales as far as the river Severn, and now be threatening Cornwall, clearly indicates some psychic concept.''

''The full ancient Egyptian royal titulary consisted of up to five names meant to symbolise the power and might of the pharaoh:

  • Horus name — the oldest form of a pharaoh's name, often enclosed in a serekh, a sort of "heraldic crest" representing a palace facade.
  • Nebty name — the "Two Ladies", the heraldic goddesses Nekhbet and Wadjet, representing Upper and Lower Egypt respectively.
  • Gold name — gold was strongly associated with eternity, but the meaning of this title is disputed.
  • Throne name — (prenomen) the first of the two names written in a cartouche.
  • Personal name — (nomen) the name given at birth, often the name by which a pharaoh is known today.

The full titulary was announced at the coronation, when a pharaoh officially became king.''

Every summer, thousands of tourists flock to Wisconsin’s Door County peninsula. Businesses shuttered throughout the winter and spring reopen to sell food and souvenirs as people explore the county’s cherry orchards and state parks. At Northport, at the tip of the peninsula, ferries run between the mainland and Washington Island, crossing a channel French sailors nicknamed Porte des Morts or “Death’s Door” for the large number of shipwrecks swept up in the currents.
But right before arriving at Death’s Door, travelers are thrown for a curve—or fifteen to be more specific. An unusually twisty stretch of Highway 'fortytwo', built in the early 1930s, has baffled visitors for decades. Who designed this surreal stretch of road? All clues would seem to point to the well-known Danish-American landscape architect Jens Jensen, so much so that locals have even nicknamed it, “Jensen’s Road.” And while Jensen did plenty for Door County, from founding a local school to helping layout parks, it turns out the story of Highway 42 is as full of twists as the road itself. {'Atlas Obscura'}.

It was said that such 'baskets' containd the limbs of Osiris which had been gathered by the sisters....High priests from each of the 'fortytwo' nomes carried the canopic JARS that contained the relics of OSIRIS that were ''gathered into a single body''. On the 12th day of the month, two black cows were YOKED together to a plough made of tamarisk and a ploughshare of black copper....The 12th day of the month was also the time at which the Orionid meteor showers occured, which we still see in mid October - this resembles scattered seed falling from the body of the Orion constellation, which is the sahu, or light body of Osiris.''

Iceland is an island, a European country, located midway between North America and mainland Europe. It lies just below the Arctic Circle between sixtyfour and 66 degrees north. The capital is Reykjavik. It is the northernmost capital in the world and is located exactly halfway between New York and Moscow. Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway are the only countries in the EEA that are not in the EU.

The benben - a solar cult object {triangle/pyramid shape therefore 'fire' link i.e., 'pyr'} - associated with Ra of Heliopolis since the start of the dynastic age - offered an alternative focus of worship. Over the centuries the benben had varied in appearance from temple to temple, it might be a cone or pyramid shaped structure, an obelisk, a boulder or even a meteorite. The Amarna benben has not survived, but images in the elite tombs suggest that it was a large, round topped stela which stood on a raised platform next to a large statue of a seated Akhenaten.''

Synchronistic example: "It was early summer, and I was on the verge of turning forty. I found myself entertaining a recurring daydream of escaping from time. I would be hustling my son out the door to get him to school, or walking briskly to work on the day of a deadline, or castigating myself for being online when I should have been methodically and efficiently putting words on paper, and I would have this vision of myself as a character in a video game discovering a secret level. This vision was informed by the platform games I loved as a child – Super Mario Bros, Sonic the Hedgehog and so on – in which the character you controlled moved across the screen from left to right through a scrolling landscape, encountering obstacles and adversaries as you progressed to the end of the level. In this daydream, I would see myself pushing against a wall or lowering myself down the yawning mouth of a pipe, and thereby discovering this secret level, this hidden chamber where I could exist for a time outside of time, where the clock was not forever running down to zero."

That soul is not upside down. On a physical level, that fear may be linked to the thought of dying and being carried HEAD FIRST into the tomb.

Hatshepsut had her tomb dug in the Valley of the Kings (KV 20) by her vizier and High Priest of Amun, Hapuseneb. She had previously had a tomb cut for herself as queen regnant under Tuthmosis II, its entrance 220 ft (72 m) up a 350-ft (91-m) cliff face in a remote valley west of the Valley of the Kings. This was found by local people in 1916 and investigated by Howard Carter in rather dangerous circumstances. The tomb had never been used and still held the sandstone sarcophagus inscribed for the queen. Carter wrote: 'as a king, it was clearly necessary for her to have her tomb in The Valley like all other kings - as a matter of fact I found it there myself in 1903 - and the present tomb was abandoned. She would have been better advised to hold to her original plan. In this secret spot her mummy would have had a reasonable chance of avoiding disturbance: in The Valley it had none. A king she would be, and a king's fate she shared.'

And/or: "A Latin inscription covering the entire width of the 'fireplace' can be read above the symbolic panels which were up to now the subject of our study. It is composed of 'three' words separated one from the other by two pyrogenic vases forming the following epigraph: Nascendo quotidie morimur { In being born, we die every day}….the unfortunate fate that life has in store for us....the walk to the sepulchre as the essential condition of the earthly sojourn, the coffin as the raison d'etre for the crib?....It is the only written word written the Mutus Liber....A simple examination of the inscription shows that of the three terms which contribute to form it, two are preceded by a special sign, the words quotidie and morimur. This sign, a little lozenge, was called by the Greeks Rombos {to be mistaken or go astray - to turn around}....Nascendo gives the idea of generation or production i.e., in order to generate.....The parents of the Hermetic child speak....The stone of the philosophers is born from the 'destruction' of the two bodies - the philosophers stone - or our 'mercury', its next matter - is also born from the fight....the essential operations of the art always has two principles producing a 'third' one {Son of?}, and that generation depends upon a preliminary decomposition of its agents. Further more philosophical 'mercury' itself, sole substance of the art can never yield anything unless it dies, ferments, and putrefies at the end of the first stage of the Work."

Something extra to get into THAT mindset: "The ancient Egyptians distinguished the falcon from common predators and declared it ''noble'' in both flying and hunting. In its 'attack' it uses neither ruse {'trickster'?} or prudence. It rises very high through successive bursts in a straight climb without any wheeling {''skirts''?}, then hurls itself upon its prey in a sudden dive....it can attack its 'enemies' upside down....it head is flat and its beak curved...Its piercing glance is so powerful that it can stare at the sun..." [  Page 289, same book].

Side note: "This evening Bhaduri expounded various philosophical points connected with the life of Mirabai, a medieval Rajputani princess who had abandoned her court life to seek the company of saints. One great sannyasi, Sanatana Goswami, refused to receive her because she was a woman; her reply brought him humbly to her feet. 'Tell the master,' She had said, 'that i did not know there was any Male in the universe save God; are we not all females before him?'

Head {inner} or tail {outer} = winner?

A working example {with something extra}: ''Lets look at the word 'Xeper'. We have seen its relationship with Thelema {'desire' i.e., in the wisdom sense of the word}, and how that Word generated the matrix {i.e., as one example - 'web'?} that produced Xeper {Cayce's Hall of Records'?}…..First encountered by E. A. Wallis....it allowed for a 'death' that had both power in the real world {'east'?} and potential for knowing the secrets of the cosmos in the next world {'west'?]….Very old in Egyptian religion....I was not the first to utter Xeper. According to mythology the first was Mehen-Pet-Tha - mentioned by 'Set' {'shadow'} in the 'The Book of Coming Forth by Night' {Duat?}. I had really looked for that name in writings about New Kingdom times: the board game of Horus and Set called Mehen was popular then.....'She who kindles celestial fire' - belonging to a 'princess' of the second dynasty - the son of Peribsen, the only pharaoh to call himself a ''Living Set'' rather than a 'Living Horus''....As a 'princess' he would have been a high priest..." [Page 168 'Overthrowing the Old Gods' / A. Crowley/Don Webb].

In Greek mythology, Memnon (/ˈmɛmnən/; Ancient Greek: Μέμνων means 'resolute'[1]) was a king of Aethiopia and son of Tithonus and Eos. As a warrior he was considered to be almost Achilles' equal in skill. During the Trojan War, he brought an army to Troy's defense and killed Antilochus, Nestor's son, during a fierce battle. Nestor challenged Memnon to a fight, but Memnon refused, being there was little honor in killing the aged man. Nestor then pleaded with Achilles to avenge his son's death. Despite warnings that soon after Memnon fell so too would Achilles, the two men fought. Memnon drew blood from Achilles, but Achilles drove his spear through Memnon's chest, sending the Aethiopian army running. The death of Memnon echoes that of Hector, another defender of Troy whom Achilles also killed out of revenge for a fallen comrade, Patroclus

Continued: ''Hatshepsut's second tomb was located at the foot of the cliffs in the eastern corner of the Valley of the Kings. The original intention seems to have been for a passage to be driven through the rock to locate the burial chamber under the sanctuary of the queen's temple on the other side of the cliffs. In the event, bad rock was struck and the tomb's plan takes a great U-turn back on itself to a burial chamber that contained two yellow quartzite sarcophagi, one inscribed for Tuthmosis I and the other for Hatshepsut as king. The queen's mummy has never been identified, although it has been suggested that a female mummy rediscovered in 1991 in KV 21 (the tomb of Hatshepsut's nurse) might have been her body.''

''The original star people were the Pawnee. Though some tribes held similar beliefs in later times. The Pawnee saw their ultimate home as being amongst the stars. The Pawnee used the stars as guides. From these ideas they began to build their dwellings in the shape of domes. Which was a reference to the sky. The placement of their dwellings were also aligned with stars in the sky. The centers of their dwellings were held up with poles that were marked white, yellow, red, and black as colours of the stars. White stood for Sirius, yellow for Capella, red for Antares, and black for Vega. These stars are the Four Direction Stars.''

Guarding 'apple' trees?

From a different perspective: Something {purposely} hinted at: "Pliny the Elder, writing in the 1st century A.D. is perhaps the most notorious non-eye-witness of them all, relying on the testimony of others to speak of animals that even the original observers did not linger to describe too carefully. What Pliny and others have observed {or not actually witnessed} is similar to the half truths and observations that we make about all animals around us in the natural world. One of the reasons we believe animals behave in certain ways is due to our lack of patience or to the rationalist or fabulist's fall back which conveniently explains away why a thing is so. The real observer of the natural {key} world soon learns a better truth, although may still not always understand what is being witnessed. It is only recently, for example, that scientists have learned that whale-song is not just about communicating with other whales but about the practical ultrasonic mapping of coastlines and sea beds {and 'mounts'} by which whales steer their course. Yet, within our own lifetime, we have heard the most fabulist explanations of whale-song which have inspired composers...The sources of this book are varied. Where possible we have gone to the first tellers of tales as much as to the most recent accounts. Many of these early reporters lived at a time when only the known world was mapped. The 'uncharted' regions, as in many mariners maps of the sea, had {in one of its 'corners'} the image of the whale to indicate the presence of 'sea monsters'..." [From the book by J. and C. Mathews].

'Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going'? {Paul Gauguin}.

As an example: "Who am I? Where am I going? What is it all for? If these questions have been running through your head {'back of'?} lately, you have begun the ultimate quest, which in one form, is to answer questions such as these, and in another is perhaps the attainment of the Holy Grail. In many countries people ask these questions and instead of turning within - where the ultimate answers must surely lie - they turn to experts, psychoanalysts, and psychologists in the hope that other people can explain what they, the individuals , are about...It might seem daunting to have to look at and map your own feelings, but you can spend a few minutes each day thinking about how you feel....From your own secret journal you will begin to discover patterns of your own emerging. This is the beginning of the 'magical' journey of inner exploration. You are mapping an uncharted 'country' which you alone can visit totally. You can become your own expert and gradually, when you have learned to change your awareness from the immediate world to that inner one, you will be able to make long expeditions to gain new knowledge." ['Magic for the Aquarian Age' / Marian Green].

Question. How long is a 'whales' expedition and what 'patterns' do they make. Silent ones?

Remember - to understand a MINDSET. To define {internally?} what they all imply by that ''divine bit'' unlocks subject material REGARDLESS in what form it takes; whether 'ritual' {as in the above book}; or prayer ; or as a study program.

Side note: ''The statue of A'a from Rurutu is a wooden sculpture of the god A'a that was made on the Pacific island of Rurutu in the Austral archipelago....The figure is hollow, and has a removable back panel allowing access to the interior.[4] The sculpture's arms are carved in high relief; its legs are separated and slightly bent.[5] The figure has no feet or base, and it is unknown if it did when it was created....Thirty smaller figures are carved on the surface of the statue.[4] Many of these are positioned to mark features on the human body, such as the eyes, nose, and mouth, though some do not obviously correspond with any human feature.[7] The figures are carved in two distinct styles; sixteen of the figures are upright with arms over the torso, while fourteen lie spread-eagled, with arms and legs outstretched. Possibly these two distinct styles of figure are intended to represent male and female forms respectively.[8] These figures are symmetrically distributed across A'a, with the exception of those on the lower abdomen, where there is an upright figure on the right side of A'a and a splayed figure on the left. It is not clear whether this asymmetry was deliberate.''

''When A'a was brought to the LMS missionaries in 1821, 24 "small gods" were found inside its cavity.''

''Recent wood analysis has shown A’a was carved from sandalwood. As sandalwood is not endemic to Rurutu, it must have been traded in from a neighbouring island. The wood’s scent, which acts as an insect repellent, may have been factor in its selection....During the process of removing the wood samples, a small red feather was noticed, caught on a splinter inside the cavity. The feather was taken to the Natural History Museum, where it was identified as being from a Kuhl’s lorikeet (Vini kuhlii), now an endangered species {nectar/honey link}. Red feathers were among the most valuable and sacred materials in Polynesia, and were associated with the divine. This reveals that whatever was stored inside A’a’s hollow interior was of the highest value to islanders. Curators believe that the figure would have originally been made to hold the bones of an important ancestor; the small red feather may have been part of their wrappings....Contemporary Rurutuans explain that the exterior figures correspond to the kinship groups that make up their society, and propose a number of theories about the relationship between the figure and Christianity.''

Sandalwood oil has a distinctive soft, warm, smooth, creamy, and milky precious-wood scent. Its quality and scent profile is greatly influenced by the age of the tree, location and the skill of the distiller. It imparts a long-lasting, woody base to perfumes from the oriental, woody, fougère, and chypre families, as well as a fixative to floral and citrus fragrances. When used in smaller proportions in a perfume, it acts as a fixative, enhancing the longevity of other, more volatile, materials in the composite. Sandalwoods are medium-sized hemiparasitic trees, and part of the same botanical family as European mistletoe. Sandalwood is indigenous to the tropical belt of the peninsular India, Malay Archipelago and northern Australia.[6][7] The main distribution is in the drier tropical regions of India and the Indonesian islands of Timor and Sumba.[8] It spread to other regions through the Incense trade route by the vast Indian and Arab mercantile networks and the Chinese maritime trade routes until the sixteenth century CE''

And/or: Saturn, as you know, is the binding, crystallizing vibration. The pair of opposites assigned to it is Dominion and Slavery, because our expression of this 'vibration' {i.e., in the ''energy'' sense of the word, i.e., recall J. Campbell's quote}, either frees or limits us, according to the point of view that we take. Limitation is the necessary condition of manifestation, because the only conceivable way that the Life-Power can enter into existence at all is by concentrating its activity at some definite point in space {'coal sacks'? 'Ostrich nest'?} - and that concentration is a self limitation. Boundaries of some kind are required for definiteness. Liberty does not consist in the removal of all conditions, in the absence of all restrictions. It is found in the understanding of the principle of limitation, and the application of that principle to the production of specific results. " [Page 51 of the book by P. F. Case. Vol 1].

All of the Typhonic figures - the spotted leopard, oryx, ass, pig, boar, serpent, crocodile, turtle and in a feminine aspect {claws?}, Selqit {selket?} the scorpion - have a relationship to Set in his role as 'devourer' or divider. He represents the purely physical unindividuated rhythm of nature. These images all portray the unconscious, repetitious motion of material life, which swallows, absorbs, and elevates physical survival above all else. Thus Set, fulfills the 'Principle of Fixation', which, when allowed to proliferate in the physical world, functions as corruption." ['Sacred Tradition of Ancient Egypt']. Higher/lower?

''Electrum is a naturally occurring alloy of gold and silver, with trace amounts of copper and other metals. The ancient Greeks called it "gold" or "white gold", as opposed to "refined gold".

REFRESHER: "It is interesting that we define 'swt' by the form of an egg and 'sah' by the seal that fastens an envelope. Our ancient texts often speak of the dead man who must ''break his egg''. It happens in such texts that 'swh' is given by the sign for a 'city' {nwt}: it isn't a question of a city but of the dead man's own nwt, his egg, his surviving envelope {'boundary'. Personal one?}. A man's nwt is like the celestial Nut whose physical organs are the constellations of the zodiac. Their functions differ, in man's body as in 'hers' {animus?}, but their influences interpenetrate, though they can only communicate with essentially identical states, and through an intermediary {phoenix? or 'Thoth' i.e., ''wisdom''}. The 'heart' is in sympathy with the intermediary and plays the same part in man's body as the sun does in the universe....Hathor who holds earth, heaven and the Duat in contemplation....Hathor, house of divine Horus, of ''your Neter that is in your egg''. Make her eyes yours that you may see the celestial luminaries....It was wise, when you framed your question, to associate the idea of various regions with that of different states of being in the Duat: you cant separate them. Just as a city {nwt} is an assemblage of ''atmospheres'' emanating from heaven and from men, which give the 'city' its character, so also a mans nwt is a complex of influences and impressions that sum up the states of successive personalities..."

Dixon relics. Found in the shafts of the 'Queens chamber'. Any glass?

"Analogy{?}: "Basil Valentine says of this Stone: 'When ashes and sand have been timely heated in the fire, the Master {'higher' self?} makes therefrom a 'Glass', which henceforth is always able to resist the fiery heat {'crystalization' of something?}. In colour it resembles a transparent stone and is no longer recognisable as ashes. For the unknowing this a great and secret art; but not so for those who know, for its their craft, attained through knowledge and experience...After its dissolution the Strong Door of the royal Chamber can be opened {'vertical'? link}. So we see here too that the glass object, the transparent stone of the wise, is needed if spiritual knowledge is to be fruitful; and the attainment of it means first the 'purification' of the soul in the 'Fire' of self sacrifice and devotion...In the poem, 'The Spoils of Annwn' there is a passage that alludes to the 'island with the strong door where the twilight and pitchy blackness were mingled together' {''Fen'' link?}- the same strong door that Basil Valentine tells of. And further on there is the 'enclosure of glass' beyond which no one beheld the prowess of Arthur. The ''transparency'' of the soul when it is embraced in a higher {'Master'?} non-physical consciousness and so is ''out of the body'' {Ihy?}, becomes one with transparency of the world of life - the 'etheric' world - that no mortal eye can 'behold' it...All these are 'immortal' symbols...So the way of the soul is through the fire and the darkness and the strong door, into - or through the power of - the transparent enclosure, the deep mystery of purified wisdom {'Bosom'?}...AND/OR...'The Stone of the Bards will prove the harbour of life...Yet it is concealed from the unawakened..." ['The Flaming Door'].

"Ninurta (Sumerian𒀭𒊩𒌆𒅁DNIN.URTA, possible meaning "Lord [of] Barley"),[1] also known as Ninĝirsu (Sumerian𒀭𒎏𒄈𒋢DNIN.ĜIR2.SU, meaning "Lord [of] Girsu"),[2] is an ancient Mesopotamian god associated with farming, healing, hunting, law, scribes, and war who was first worshipped in early Sumer. In the earliest records, he is a god of agriculture and healing, who cures humans of sicknesses and releases them from the power of demons." 'Three pronged'? Barley to enlarge.

A working example {the very first one}: "Girsu was possibly inhabited in the Ubaid period (5300-4800 BC), but significant levels of activity began in the Early Dynastic period (2900-2335 BC). At the time of Gudea, during the Second Dynasty of Lagash, Girsu became the capital of the Lagash kingdom and continued to be its religious center after political power had shifted to the city of Lagash.[3] During the Ur III period, Girsu was a major administrative center for the empire. After the fall of Ur, Girsu declined in importance, but remained inhabited until c. 200 BC. A 4th century BC bilingual Greek/Aramaic inscription was found there...

Cuneiform?

A foundation tablet and a number of inscribed building cones have been found. In the 5th season, in autumn 2019, work concentrated on the Mound of the Palace where E-ninnu, a temple to Ningirsu, had been found in earlier seasons.[20] In March 2020, archaeologists announced the discovery of a 5,000-year-old cultic area filled with more than 300 broken ceremonial ceramic cups, bowls, jars, animal sacrifices, and ritual processions dedicated to Ningirsu.[21][22] One of the remains was a duck-shaped bronze figurine with eyes made from bark which is thought to be dedicated to Nanshe.....

Multiple literary texts focused on Nanshe are known. Nanshe and the Birds focuses on her relation with her symbolic animal, the u5 bird. Its species is a matter of dispute, with proposed identifications including gooseswancormorantgull and pelican. In the myth Enki and Ninhursag, she appears as one of the deities created by Ninhursag to cure Enki's illness. Other compositions deal with her relation to the sea, fish or dream interpretation."

Any ducks in the tomb of Tut?

'Triangular' head gear?

"Bau, also read Baba (cuneiform: 𒀭𒁀𒌑 dBa-U2), was a Mesopotamian goddess. The reading of her name is a subject of debate among researchers, though Bau is considered the conventional spelling today.[1] While initially regarded simply as a life-giving deity, in some cases associated with the creation in mankind, over the course of the third and second millennia BCE she also acquired the role of a healing goddess. She could be described as a divine midwife. In art she could be depicted in the company of waterfowl or scorpions.

In sources from Lagash and Girsu, Bau's husband was the god Ningirsu."

"Two swimming ducks."

Girsu: "A very unusual construction, like a big 'X'. Like two convex walls. Made of 'fire bricks'...Kept maintained for centuries...Stands inside an ancient canal. The foundations for a bridge, made from thousands of mud brick with bitumen as mortar {'fourteen flag/pennant poles?}. Revolutionary when first built. An ancient water management system.

''When Believers cross the Sirat, they will come across two springs. They will have a bath from one of the springs and will drink from the other. Thus, after attaining material and spiritual purity, they will come to the gate of Paradise. Angels will say, as it is stated in Zumar Sura, "Peace be upon you. Welcome! Enter here eternally." Then they will be clothed garments of Paradise, and all of them will go into Paradise.''

Side note: ''In vitro (Latin: in glass; often not italicized in English usage[1][2][3]) studies are conducted using components of an organism that have been isolated from their usual biological surroundings, such as microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules. For example, microorganisms or cells can be studied in artificial culture media, and proteins can be examined in solutions. Colloquially called "test-tube experiments", these studies in biology, medicine, and their subdisciplines are traditionally done in test tubes, flasks, Petri dishes, etc. They now involve the full range of techniques used in molecular biology, such as the omics.

In contrast, studies conducted in living beings (microorganisms, animals, humans, or whole plants) are called in vivo.''

''The Fen is one of the main types of WETLAND. Recall Sea Henge {and/or Seahenge}.

AS IS: "Much has been made of the fact that, at all periods of European prehistory, some bodies were interred upon their sides in a crouching posture. The resemblance to a foetus in a womb has encouraged speculation that these individuals were being returned to the earth to be reborn. This may be true, but as many primitive peoples sleep with knees drawn up, it may be a final rest which is indicated instead. Support for the notion of rebirth may be drawn from the fact that a sixth of the known Palaeolithic burials {scattered from Wales to Russia} were sprinkled with red ochre {author speculates about menstrual blood etc}...Red had a significance in the Old Stone Age which we cannot now comprehend: this would explain why certain artefacts and ornaments deposited in caves were coated in the same ochre...We are left wondering why some people were interred crouching and most not, some with goods or ochre and most with neither, while the vast majority of the population does not seem to have been buried at all {i.e., exoteric/esoteric?}...The British evidence is a microcosm of the European, being drawn from just three sites {N.B. Book came out in 1990's - few more ,these days. Enlarged within} - One is the Goats Cave in the Gower Peninsula, {i.e., S/W Wales}, where a young man was put into a shallow grave with rods and bracelets of ivory and covered with red ochre; a mammoth's skull was placed nearby...it was made shortly before the last great period of glaciation. Making the oldest recorded in these islands...Once the ice retreated...few were found to be interred in the Mendip Hills. At Aveline's Hole in Burrington Combe four individuals were put into the floor, two apparently with fossils, perforated teeth for necklaces and flints." [R. Hutton].

And/or: ''In 1956 Gower was the first area in Great Britain to be designated an 'Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty'.

By 1850 eleven major copperworks had been established on the banks of the River Tawe, and for a time they produced over half of the world's total output of smelted copper. Such was the importance of this industry that Swansea became known as 'Copperopolis'.

'Car' / 'chariot' or Herbie? Question. His or hers?

"Outward manifestation'' in relation to: "In seeking to understand the nature of these hidden reactions we must renounce our superior intellectual attitude which considers them only errors, mistakes, or dross and attempt to understand them in their own terms. For they are so impalpable that the intellect and rational analysis cannot grasp them...When intellectual acumen fails us in this way we have to turn to unconscious products for enlightenment and see whether a study of symbols and instinctive ways of acting may not throw some light on the obscurity. For unconscious factors of the psyche are first sensed, not in concepts, but are perceived in the outer world, projected into inanimate nature. So that when man sees human qualities and characteristics as belonging to inanimate objects {Libra?} - these are not just arbitrary imaginings but are reflections of his own unconscious qualities. When he regards natural phenomena naively, personifying them as in myths and folk tales {i.e.,as one example; as described in such books as 'The Flaming Door: The Mission of the Celtic Folk Soul'. Enlarged elsewhere} - or in the poetic language of art, he is interpreting Nature in accordance with his own nature. His unconscious is projected to the outer world. In the ancient half-forgotten folk myths of a people, we find relics of archaic, primitive ways of thinking which have been largely displaced in the Western world and in modern times by the more developed cultures superimposed upon them. But they are not for that reason extinct nor are they without meaning, as is shown by the fact that they reappear, today, from the unconscious in dreams and phantasies. Through a study of them something may be learned of those unrecognised laws which rule in the unconscious {Wolfgang Pauli?} - where our modern rational and scientific ways of thought are powerless to penetrate." ['Women's Mysteries'].

As an example {i.e.,apply the above to define the following}: "Then Being, BEHOLDING said: Let me become great; let me give birth. Then it put forth Radiance. Then Radiance beholding said: Let me become great; let me give birth. Then it put forth the Waters...Then the Waters, beholding said: Let US become great; let US become great. They put forth the world-food. So from the Waters the world food - Earth - is born." {'Upanishads'. From the book 'The Flaming Door'. Chapter entitled 'Fire and Water'].

''Me {I} and Us'' = {objective/subjective} in relation to ''great'' {'giant'} and ''earth'' {primordial mound}. Among others try ''food''.

Or the Egyptian 'Anubis' in relation to Horus. Explained elsewhere, in relation to 'higher' / 'lower'.

The word 'giant' also used in relation to Gog and Magog.

REFRESHER: "What scripture says about Og, ''Behold, his bedstead was an iron bedstead, nine cubits in length," {Deut.3-11}….The bedstead is never the same dimensions as the person sleeping in it...it is always greater by a third....'The cubit of a man' means the measure of an ordinary man and not by the measure of Og…" [Page 248 'Guide for the Perplexed'].

The 'third' if something in relation to 'sleep'. Try ''nine'' and/or ''iron'' IN RELATION to gold/silver.

Side note: "The same myth also provides insight into the two paths or ways of 'salvation'. The Way of Osiris and the Way of Horus. The former is the way of 'reincarnation', of progressive dissolutions linked only by the generative principle; the latter is the direct path; that of the warrior of the spirit, out to subdue the enemy within himself by his own efforts." [Page 129 'Serpent in the Sky'].

And/or: "This knowledge is not set down explicitly in books, but is embodied in the building itself...The proportions of the Temple are those of Adamic Man, man before the 'fall' - and of 'perfected' man, man who has regained his cosmic consciousness through his own efforts..." [Page 159 same book].

''If the ''opening of the heart'' bestowed by this new mentality is not understood, the effect involved will be questioned: 'Why take such pains to decipher a teaching so far removed from us?' We would reply: 'It helps arrest our dangerous fall, and to give us a means to ascend towards our superhuman aim.' We must understand that everything said in this way goes well beyond our usual understanding and concerns hidden vital laws." [Page 59 'The Egyptian Miracle' / R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz].

The term "Bridge of the Sirat" hasn’t been used in the Quran and the word "Sirat" which has been only means “way”, the question is why is the term "Bridge of the path" used by people so much and how are the two terms of "Sirat" and the "Bridge of the Sirat" related to each other?

Stirling Bridge to see it from a different perspective.

Coincidence?

Side note:  "You can follow two paths in the mountains, Her-Bak,'' said the sage. ''The first winds round it with many a twist, exploring; the slope is gentle, the ascent easy, varied, amusing. This path avoids points of danger. It never attacks the Peak {of silence?} and halts at shelters known to be safe. The other is steep {cliff?}, takes each phase of the climb without detour, skirts precipices {'overhangs'?} and reaches a summit that is only accessible to a man who can face naked sunlight and danger. Which path will you choose Her-Bak?'' [Page 89 'Her-Bak: Egyptian Initiate' / Isha Schwaller de Lubicz].

Continued: ''Although the term the "Bridge of Sirat" hasn’t been used in the Quran, it has been mentioned in hadiths and traditions. For example Imam Sadiq (as) has mentioned this term while explaining the word "mirsad" in verse 14 of Surah Fajr, saying that it is a bridge that extends across Hell.

For further explanation we will note some points regarding the word "Sirat". "Sirat" literally means way and path and what is meant by the term "Al-Siratul Mustaqim" that is mentioned in some Quranic verses is the right and straight path of guidance in this world that if one follows, will also remain on in the hereafter, and that if he strays from in this world, will stray from in the hereafter likewise.

Therefore if the Sirat, which is one of the stops on the day of resurrection, is referred to by terms like the "Bridge of Sirat", the "Bridge of Hell", etc., it is to simplify the meaning for people so that they can comprehend easily.

First we need to know that the word Sirat means path, and when used with the word mustaqim as an adjective it means the straight way and right path.

This term (Al-Siratul Mustaqim) has been used in the Quran as follows:

1- "Guide us to the Straight Path".[1]

2- "Surely Allah is my Lord and your Lord, therefore serve Him, this is the right path".[2]

3- "Those who seek the protection of God will certainly be guided to the right path".[3]

4- "And [O, Messenger!] this is the Straight Path of your Creator and Nurturer; indeed We have made clear the Words of Revelation for those who accept Admonition".[4]

''Crossing the Sirat Bridge depends on everybody's light. Some will cross it in the twinkling of an eye; some, like lightning; some, like a falling star; some, like a running horse. He who has very little light will creep facedown {'prostrate'?}. His hands and feet will slip, and he will cling to it again. At long last, he will break free from it by creeping and creeping.'' [Tabarani / Wiki].

'Fool' of the Tarot ?

Side note: 'Freedom' in relation to the ''void''. {Pages 84/101 'Meditations on the Tarot'].

From a different perspective: ''In some cases, the Sajjada Nashin is the descendant of a Sufi or Pir or a descendant of one of their disciples. Sajjada means 'prayer mat' (from the Arabic sajdah or 'prostration') while nashin is the word used for the person seated thereon.[3] A Sajjada particularly tends to the shrine which is made over the Sufi's tomb or grave, known as a Dargah or Mazar. A trustee is a key person who holds and leads the traditional Sufi rituals in the Dargah's daily activities and particularly during death anniversaries called Urs. As a hereditary position the role of Sajjada nashin passes onto a child following the death of the holder.

Continued: A working example: ''Rosslyn Chapel was the vision of an ambitious and far-sighted nobleman called William St Clair.   William was the third and last St Clair Prince of Orkney, and in 1436, at the age of twentytwo, he accompanied James I’s 12-year-old daughter, Margaret, to Tours, where she was married to the Louis, the son of Charles VII of France.

Rosslyn Chapel (C) 123While he was there, William decided to make the most of it, and he spent four years exploring the Continent.  He made a particular study of the French cathedrals and their beautiful Gothic architecture.  Ten years later, in the low wooded hills of Midlothian, he founded the Collegiate Chapel of St Matthew, or Rosslyn Chapel as it is better known.

Prince William, his age creeping on him, came to consider how he had spent his times past, and how he was to spend his remaining days… it came into his mind to build a house for God’s service, of most curious work…”

Father Richard Augustine Hay, Canon of St Genevieve and Prior of St Piermont, writing in 1700, from ‘A Genealogie of the Sainteclaires of Rosslyn’, 1835

By my reckoning, William would only have been 'thirtytwo' when he founded the chapel, so I’m not sure how he would have felt about the idea that age was creeping up on him.  However, he must have been one for looking ahead, and he was certainly a man who dreamed big.

Clockwise/Anticlockwise?

It should be said here that William’s chapel was not the first on this site, but traces of the former building are hard to find, and its very existence seems to have been largely obscured by the glorious presence of its successor.   Some crumbling buttresses survive in the nearby graveyard;  and about half a mile down the hill, an even earlier place of worship was incorporated into the St Clair stronghold of Rosslyn Castle...“The first chapel nestled inside Rosslyn Castle within a curious curved stone wall known as the ’rounds’, resembling a honeycomb....The honeycomb design is an interesting element, which I’ll explain later on.'' ['The Hazel Tree: Rosslyn Chapel: catching the light' / Internet].

buttress is an architectural structure built against or projecting from a wall which serves to support or reinforce the wall.[1] Buttresses are fairly common on more ancient buildings, as a means of providing support to act against the lateral (sideways) forces arising out of inadequately braced roof structures.

A corner of the Temple Mount.

The term counterfort can be synonymous with buttress[2] and is often used when referring to dams, retaining walls and other structures holding back earth.

Early examples of buttresses are found on the Eanna Temple (ancient Uruk), dating to as early as the 4th millennium BC.[citation needed]

In addition to flying and ordinary buttresses, brick and masonry buttresses that support wall corners can be classified according to their ground plan. A clasping or clamped buttress has an L-shaped ground plan surrounding the corner, an angled buttress has two buttresses meeting at the corner, a setback buttress is similar to an angled buttress but the buttresses are set back from the corner, and a diagonal (or 'French') buttress is at 135° to the walls (45° off of where a regular buttress would be).

Continued: "The fifth century A.D. saw the first seeds sown in Britain of the Anglo Saxon race, when Britain was invaded by a 'mare and a horse'. The brothers Hengist and Horsa. This was the time when the Druid Mysteries were in decay....And we see Ceridwen - not as a very earthly horse! - but armoured with the sharp attacking bird's beak {'hooked' and/or Oxyrhynchus fish? Griffin?}, and having her body like an 'ark' or womb of the concealed spirit. The new age is already heralded, but unformed and chaotic, like the drawing. There are many references in Welsh mythology to Arianrod, Iris, the Goddess of the Silver Wheel. She is generally supposed to be the goddess of the rainbow, but not the rainbow we are accustomed to see {i.e., what the author defines as ''clothed in a rainbow coloured aura} - this was called Iris - the Great Aura,'' i.e., in relation to ''dawn of serenity for a neophyte'', i.e.,''an imaginative vision'' {eureka moment link?}. ['The Flaming Door']. Try ''girdle'' to see it in its broader context.

From a different pespective: ''In the bright, translucent colours you see the family of the neteru rising up and crossing the rainbow as though it were a giant bridge...''

And/or: ''Aura - comes from the Latin for 'breath'....'' ['The Chase'].

"According to early sources,[which?] Hengist and Horsa arrived in Britain at Ebbsfleet on the Isle of Thanet. For a time, they served as mercenaries for VortigernKing of the Britons, but later they turned against him (British accounts have them betraying him in the Treachery of the Long Knives). Horsa was killed fighting the Britons, but Hengist successfully conquered Kent, becoming the forefather of its kings.

A figure named Hengest, possibly identifiable with the leader of British legend, appears in the Finnesburg Fragment and in BeowulfJ. R. R. Tolkien has theorized that this indicates Hengest/Hengist is the same person and originates as a historical person.[4]

Hengist was historically[clarification needed] said to have been buried at Hengistbury Head in Dorset."

"Hengistbury Head (/ˈhɛŋɡɪstbəri/), formerly also called Christchurch Head, is a headland jutting into the English Channel between Bournemouth and Mudeford in the English county of Dorset. It is a site of international importance in terms of its archaeology and is scheduled as an Ancient Monument.[1] Declared a Local Nature Reserve in 1990, the head and its surroundings form part of the Christchurch Harbour Site of Special Scientific Interest.[2] It is also a Special Area of ConservationSpecial Protection Area, an Environmentally Sensitive Area and a Site of Nature Conservation Interest.[3] The name "Hengistbury Head" refers to the whole of the headland area; the elevated portion is called Warren Hill."

"Warren Hill is the elevated part of Hengistbury Head in Dorset, England, overlooking Christchurch to the North and dominating Poole Bay to the West. With finds stretching back over 10000 years.....A warren is a network of interconnected burrows, dug by rabbitsDomestic warrens are artificial, enclosed establishments of animal husbandry dedicated to the raising of rabbits for meat and fur. The term evolved from the medieval Anglo-Norman concept of free warren, which had been, essentially, the equivalent of a hunting license for a given woodland....The cunicularia of the monasteries may have more closely resembled hutches or pens, than the open enclosures with specialized structures which the domestic warren eventually became. Such an enclosure or close was called a cony-garth, or sometimes conegarconeygree or "bury" (from "burrow")....To keep the rabbits from escaping, domestic warrens were usually provided with a fairly substantive moat, or ditch filled with water. Rabbits generally do not swim and avoid water. A pale, or fence, was provided to exclude predators."

And/or: "This dream begins in a wild, swampy landscape, suggestive of the unknown, watery world of the unconscious. In this landscape the dreamer comes to a fairground, to which he has a ticket...The fairground with all its strange and fantastical associations describes an inner space where the figures of the imaginal can be encountered. It echoes the 'Magic Theatre' of Herman Hesse's Steppenwolf, a 'theatre' in which, behind different doors, is enacted various aspects of the unconscious of the protagonist, {H}arry Haller. And just as in the 'Magic Theatre' entrance is 'Not for Everyone', so our dreamer must have a ticket to go in. The world of the unconscious cannot be entered without paying the price, for the experience of this 'fairground' means leaving the rational world and the values of the persona. In Steppen-'wolf' the entrance is 'For Madmen Only', and the 'Price of Admittance Your Mind'. For those on the path they pay with their longing for Truth, a longing which will take them beyond the conscious mind and the surface world of appearances, into the very depths of themselves. In the fairground the dreamer enters a building , suggesting his own personal psyche, and what he wants is to find 'the deepest, darkest spot, from whence all trouble arose'....." [Page 31/2 'The Lover and the Serpent'].

For this reader "fairground" relates more to the word 'revolving' - and "theatre" to either 'house' or 'Feast of Fools'. WHILE recalling that eternal 'spark/seed' that all living things have within REGARDLESS of esoteric/exoteric doctrine.

"The fire that is not put out is a 'holy' fire....This fire is the fire of longing, the unquenchable flame in the heart that purifies the seeker, and relentlessly drives him along the Way. It is the longing that always burns and burns, taking the Wayfarer Home into the arms of the Beloved."

Fire or water?

Spirit or soul. Anima or animus. Circlet?

"When does Gold Ore become pure 'Gold'? When it is put through a process of fire. So the human being during the training becomes as pure as Gold through suffering. It is the burning away of the dross....For the woman, the animus is an important figure whose spiritual aspect can help her on the quest, allowing her to live from the sacred center of her being....Within the psyche of the man the integration of the anima is of similar importance, though the anima has a different psychological dynamic to the animus. While the animus adds the strength and clarity of consciousness to the 'diffuse awareness' of the woman, the anima reconnects masculine consciousness to the inner world of the soul. For, unlike the woman who has never left the arms of the great mother, into his journey into manhood the boy becomes separated from the Source; and with the help of the anima he can return to the depths of his own being without being lost in the maze of the unconscious. The man's inner woman, the dark lady of the night, exerts her fascination in many guises, from the cover girl to the enigmatic Mona Lisa....The quality of the anima is poignantly imaged in the following simple dream: A woman in a slinky blue dress is singing 'Walking Back To Happiness' in a bluesy, soulful way."

The word Atitlan is a Mayan word that translates as "the place where the rainbow gets its colours". The main tourist center is Panajachel, an 800 year old pueblo of about 14000, mostly Cakchiquel Mayas and some foreigners from every corner of the globe, living inside that rainbow.

In the highlands of Guatemala, especially around Lake Atitlan, the Mayan culture still thrives. The spirit it invokes is the hidden gem of Guatemala, and makes this one of the most exotic destinations in the world.

The Maya are known for being friendly, funny, welcoming of strangers, and also shy. Living among them is an enchanting experience. There are about a dozen other villages scattered around the lake. Some are Cakchiquel, some Tz'utujil and both speak different languages. The indigenous lake people were accustomed to dealing with other cultures they couldn't communicate with, long before tourists ever showed up. [www.atitlan].

A {working?} example: in the sense of a representation {one example ONLY} - of the benefits of inspiration and aspiration: "The two side Paths here are also more aspirational than their equivalents that led out of Malkuth. They are represented by the 'Sun' and the 'Star'. The Sun that beams down from Hod is the bright light of self evident spiritual truth, a light by which all dark places are enlightened. The Star is the realization and feeling of 'divine' beauty that comes from Netzach. It is closely associated with Venus, where the pattern of the Earthly paradise {'seven / eight' link?} - is said to be held. These aspirations for Truth and Beauty therefore flank the path of Aspiration that leads to higher consciousness. But aspiration is not enough on its own. Aspiration alone can be but wish fulfilment fantasy unless we have the will and ability to bring it to realization and fulfilment. This is implied by the transverse path across our way; its symbol - the Lightening - struck Tower....

'Stacked'?

Aspiration alone might be regarded as our being enclosed in an ivory tower, and many are there {within this subject} who remain in this condition. High on great thoughts but low on practical achievement. If we are to progress to be responsible servers of the 'higher' powers in the Temple of Tiphareth - 'the sphere of the god made Manifest, in the sphere of the mind' - then we have to be prepared for the lightening flash of illumination, or the lightening flash of destruction of false values. This may come to us as a shock, but it also a form of enlightenment..." ['Magical Images and the Magical Imagination' / G. Knight].

"The quest for the Grail begins with the question of what exactly one is looking for. Whatever it may be, it is something that has an immediate, widespread effect, whenever it is rediscovered. The persons mind is stunned into a new way of 'thinking,' and the change is reflected [eventually] into a new idealistic form of society. Yet besides creating a sensation, it has further, long lasting quality. It serves as a constant fount of inspiration and wisdom, sanctifying the lives of those who posses it. When it is lost, harmony and good order vanish with it." [Introduction to the book, 'The Twelve - Tribe Nations' by J. Michell and C. Rhone].

Bush Barrow 'lozenge' - enlarged elsewhere.

"During the period i was preparing this book, Robert Lomas, one of the authors mentioned above, wrote a further work with the title 'Turning the Hiram Key'. In their previous works, Robert Lomas and Christopher Knight had drawn attention to the chapel at Rosslyn, just outside of Edinburgh, Scotland - a chapel that contains considerable Masonic symbolism carved into the stone of the structure. Rosslyn was built in the 15th century by William St. Clair, the last Norse Earl of Orkney, whose family had, for some centuries, provided the Grand Masters of Freemasonry in Scotland. Robert Lomas has argued that the origins of modern Freemasonry can be traced to the building of the chapel. In a chapter about symbolism, Lomas visits the subject of the 'lozenge' shape {'form'?} as it may have been associated with the cult of the 'Goddess'. He also draws attention to the method of using the lozenge shape as a means of determining the latitude of one's position. He goes on to state: 'At the latitude where the Temple of Rosslyn was built, the solstice angles produce a perfect square, {'cube' ?} and that is where modern Freemasonry began'. This is an interesting observation because in a masonic ceremony of initiation, the candidate is admitted - on a square." [From the book by K. Gest. All emphasis, this readers].

The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m (822 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city and beyond, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking.

The importance of Het-Her throughout ancient times was not confined to the borders of ancient Egypt. In addition to the great Ptolemaic temple complex at Dendera, there were seven known shrines in antiquity of the goddess, corresponding to the seven forms of the Neter mythically present at the death and birth of every human.

''In Greek sanctuaries, the collective performances of rituals took place around an outdoor altar. As temples housed the images of deities, the temple door allowed the passage from one realm to another, from the profane space to the sacred. The door to the naos with the cult statue meant metaphorically the access to the presence of the god. A krater dating to the 4th century BCE from Taranto depicts the statue of Apollo in a temple, seen through the open doors.''

Bluestar?

''Temples were, therefore, not always accessible for all worshippers. In some cases, only cultic officials were permitted entry. Some temples were open every day, and some only on certain days of the year.8 Locking and unlocking the temple door was the responsibility of either one or several cultic officials with the key signifying restricted access and custodianship. The key itself was entrusted to officials in their role as custodians of the temples. Valuable votives and money deposited in temples increased the responsibility of key-holders. For this reason, the temple key could only be entrusted to somebody of high social and cultic status. Most of the inscriptions about key-holders emphasize the noble background of key-holders. Therefore, we do not have evidence that the key-holders of most Greek sanctuaries were of noble background.''

''The key-holders of temples have a long tradition going back to the Mycenaean period. The Linear B tablets from Pylos dating to the second half of the 2nd millennium BCE mention cultic officials who had the title ka-ra-wi-po-ro (key-bearer). Another question is whether there is a continuity of perpetuating the conception of key-holders of Greek temples....So far, there are only very few studies on key-holders, which were mainly focused on the analysis of the iconographic material. Mantis made the first accurate analysis of the iconographic material on key-holders.9 One part of the iconographic material was also analysed by Dillon, Connelly, Kaltsas, and Shapiro.10 A significant number of vases and grave stelai dating to the Classical and Hellenistic periods depict temple keys or women holding a temple key. Most of the vases show mythical figures as key-holders, whereas the grave stelai honour women who served presumably as priestesses. I will only give an overview of the iconographic material on key-holders.''

Ancient Greek door locks were used from the seventh century BC in Greece and were named after finds in Laconia in the southern part of Peloponnesus in Greece.''

''Several Linear B tablets from Pylos and 110 inscriptions dating to the Hellenistic, Roman, and Imperial periods provide evidence for cultic officials as key-holders.

'Crowned Crane'?

Side note: ''Berenice Troglodytica, also called Berenike (Greek: Βερενίκη) or Baranis, is an ancient seaport of Egypt on the western shore of the Red Sea. It is situated about 825 km south of Suez, 260 km east of Aswan in Upper Egypt and 140 km south of Marsa Alam.[2] It was founded in 275 BCE by Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285–246 BCE), who named it after his mother, Berenice I of Egypt.[3]

In flight?

A high mountain range runs along the African coast and separates the Nile Valley from the Red Sea; Berenice was sited upon a narrow rim of shore between the mountains and the Red Sea, at the head of the Sinus Immundus,[4] a south-facing bay sheltered on the north by a high peninsula then called Lepte Extrema, and to the south by a chain of small islands scattered across the mouth of the bay. One of them was called the Island of Ophiodes (Ὀφιώδης νήσος[4][5]) and was one of a few sources of gemstones local to Berenice. The harbour is marginal, but was improved by engineering.''

''The name Troglodytica refers to the native people of the region, the "Troglodytai" or "cave dwellers". Although the name is attested by several ancient writers, the more ancient Ptolemaic inscriptions read Trogodytai, which Huntingford (1980)[6] speculated could be derived from the same root as Tuareg. It is possible that later copyists confused this name with the more common term Troglodytai.''

Berenike: a female given name: from a Greek word meaning “bringer of victory

"The Tuareg people (/ˈtwɑːrɛɡ/; also spelled  Twareg or TouaregendonymImuhaɣ/Imušaɣ/Imašeɣăn/Imajeɣăn[9]) are a large Berber ethnic group that principally inhabit the Sahara in a vast area stretching from far southwestern Libya to southern AlgeriaNigerMali, and Burkina Faso.[10] Traditionally nomadic pastoralists, small groups of Tuareg are also found in northern Nigeria The Tuareg speak languages of the same name, also known as Tamasheq, which belong to the Berber branch of the Afroasiatic family."

Common factors?

Saint Veronica, also known as Berenike,[3] was a widow from Jerusalem who lived in the 1st century AD, according to extra-biblical Christian sacred tradition.[4] A celebrated saint in many pious Christian countries, the 17th-century Acta Sanctorum published by the Bollandists listed her feast under July 12,[5] but the German Jesuit scholar Joseph Braun cited her commemoration in Festi Marianni on 13 January....According to Church tradition, Veronica was moved with sympathy seeing Jesus carrying the cross to Calvary and gave him her veil so that he could wipe his forehead. Jesus accepted the offer, and when he returned the veil the image of his face was miraculously captured on it. The resulting relic became known as the Veil of Veronica.[6][7][8]

The story of Veronica is celebrated in the sixth Station of the Cross in AnglicanCatholic, and Western Orthodox churches.[4][9][10]

Eusebius in his Historia Ecclesiastica (vii 18) tells how at Caesarea Philippi lived the woman whom Christ healed of an issue of blood (Matthew 9:20–22). Legend was not long in providing the woman of the Gospel with a name. In the West she was identified with Martha of Bethany; in the East she was called Berenike, or Beronike, the name appearing in as early a work as the "Acta Pilati", the most ancient form of which goes back to the fourth century. The fanciful derivation of the name Veronica from the words Vera Icon (eikon) "true image" dates back to the "Otia Imperialia" (iii 25) of Gervase of Tilbury (fl. 1211), who says: "Est ergo Veronica pictura Domini vera" (translated: "The Veronica is, therefore, a true picture of the Lord.")

From a different perspective: "Heart mine in the house of hearts, heart mine be with me in the house of hearts. My heart {'soul'?} is peaceful for me. I do not eat the cakes of Asar {'fire' link? i.e., therefore 'spirit'} in the eastern lake, the boat sailing downstream or upstream. I do not go into the boat with you. It is I with my mouth and my words with my two legs for walking, and with my two arms for pulling down the enemies. Opened for me are the doors of heaven. Geb, the chief of the gods and goddesses, has unbolted his jaws for me. My eyes which were blinded, are opened and my legs stretch out freely. They are firmed up {therefore 'strong legs'?} by the god Anpu - extending as goddess Sekhmet'' {Spirit/soul coming together; as a means}? Hence: "I am in heaven doing my  will in the house of the Ka of Ptah. I know my heart {i.e., I know who I am}. I am powerful - in my legs and arms and in actions {static/dynamic? and/or 'shoulders'?}, which are desired by my Ka. My soul and body are not restricted at the portals of Amentet, in my going in, in peace, and coming out in peace....The 'iab' or heart is the mind of the person, and an aspect of the ego personality...to know the heart is to know the innermost Self. Like the fortytwo injunctions of Maat..."

Continued: ''Chapter 26 {the author M. Ashby defines it as chapter 13}, relates to affirming self  control. Once again there is a negative reference to the east, the eating of 'cakes' - on the eastern side of the lake of flowers - symbolic of desires and thoughts of worldly life; and reincarnation because they have not been able to remember the Self....the heart is a metaphor for the mind, when the mind is overpowered by negative or unrighteousness i.e., lying, cheating, neg. behaviour, hypocrisy etc. - it is not able to envisage the 'higher' reality of the spirit....therefore enslaving the 'soul'....This reference relates to the understanding of life as related by the journey of Ra {'spirit'}. Every day 'Ra' in the form of the sun disc is metaphorically consumed by Nut {'soul'} and she gives birth to him every morning. THEREFORE the east represents rebirth, the new life or the process of reincarnation. Reincarnation implies having to once again being born into the world of time and space, to suffer the limitations of youth etc.....it is to be understood as a separation from 'divine' consciousness...."

"What is music? What is Poetry? What is mythology? All questions on which no opinion is possible unless one already has a real feeling for these things. That is natural and obvious enough. Not so, however, our feeling in the case of the last named. Only the greatest creations of mythology proper could hope to make clear to modern man that here he is face to face with a 'phenomenon' which in ''profundity, permanence, and universality is comparable with nature herself''. If we want to promote a real knowledge of mythology, we must not appeal at the outset to theoretical considerations and judgements {not even to Schelling's, from whom the quotation in praise of mythology comes}. Neither should we talk over much of ''sources'' {instead} - the water must be fetched and drunk fresh from the spring if it is to flow through us and quicken {'distillation'?} our hidden mythological talents."  ['Science of Mythology' / C.G Jung and C.Kerenyi].

REFRESHER: ''Hatshepsut had her tomb dug in the Valley of the Kings (KV 20) by her vizier and High Priest of Amun, Hapuseneb. She had previously had a tomb cut for herself as queen regent under Tuthmosis II, its entrance 220 ft (72 m) up a 350-ft (91-m) cliff face in a remote valley west of the Valley of the Kings. This was found by local people in 1916 and investigated by Howard Carter in rather dangerous circumstances. The tomb had never been used and still held the sandstone sarcophagus inscribed for the queen. Carter wrote: 'as a king, it was clearly necessary for her to have her tomb in The Valley like all other kings - as a matter of fact I found it there myself in 1903 - and the present tomb was abandoned. She would have been better advised to hold to her original plan. In this secret spot her mummy would have had a reasonable chance of avoiding disturbance: in The Valley it had none. A king she would be, and a king's fate she shared.'

White stone /Red stone?

''Hatshepsut's second tomb was located at the foot of the cliffs in the eastern corner of the Valley of the Kings. The original intention seems to have been for a passage to be driven through the rock to locate the burial chamber under the sanctuary of the queen's temple on the other side of the cliffs. In the event, bad rock was struck and the tomb's plan takes a great U-turn back on itself to a burial chamber that contained two yellow quartzite sarcophagi, one inscribed for Tuthmosis I and the other for Hatshepsut as king (p. 101). The queen's mummy has never been identified, although it has been suggested that a female mummy rediscovered in 1991 in KV 21 (the tomb of Hatshepsut's nurse) might have been her body.''

Centuries of agriculture meant little remained of the site but the excavations uncovered 15 round dwellings, probably with timber and turf roofs and turf cladding on the outer walls. It was free standing rather than encased in its own midden as Skara Brae is. Intriguingly, each building seems to have been deliberately demolished at the end of its life...It was built after all the other buildings had been abandoned {decommissioned?}...A massive hall like structure...built on a platform of yellow clay...They also found a complete Grooved Ware pot set into the clay floor by the eastern wall which contained a treasure hoard of 14 flint nodules - flint was very scarce in Orkney."

loving"There is a very interesting book by Dr M. Harding called 'Woman's Mysteries Ancient and Modern'. In it is an immense amount of information which should set the readers subconscious mind questing to and fro on a scent which grows warmer and warmer until Chapter 15 is reached. What Chapter 15 means to you will depend entirely upon what you are. It is true this work deals almost entirely with the Moon Mysteries, but, a mans immediate inner self - his anima - is feminine...whereas in this state of cosmic matrimony...for a woman that would be her animus; not anima; if Jung is correct."

From a different perspective {i.e., something hinted at}: "The origins of Merlin may be traced to the prehistoric past where the primal prophet and a youthful god of poetry and inspiration {similar in many ways to the 'young' Apollo} were originally identical. Humans mediated the poetic prophetic power; such individuals were both the inspirers and the conscious bearers of a community, a clan, a race and its land. Curiously, to the modern mind, we find that women mediated the god-power of prophecy, in the ancient world - while men mediated the goddess-power." ['The Way of Merlin' / R. J. Stewart].

The local main deity was Thoth, though the inscriptions on the White Chapel of Senusret I links this nome with the cult of Bes and Unut....The Hare nome was already recognized during the 4th Dynasty of the Old Kingdom as shown by the triad statue of pharaohMenkaure, Hathor, and an anthropomorphized-deified depiction of the nome.[1] It is known that during the 6th Dynasty its nomarchs were buried in the necropolis of El-Sheikh Sa'id....The nome kept its importance during the First Intermediate Period and the subsequent Middle Kingdom; its governors were also responsible of the alabaster quarrying at Hatnub in the Eastern Desert, they owned exclusive offices such as "director of the double throne" and great one of the five", and also were high priests of Thoth.''

Continued: "So the elders of Guatemala handed the lowland Maya ''fifteen books''. The lowland Maya were told to study and learn this knowledge and that they would be given more books in the future. In this way, the return of the Mayan calendar, knowledge, and prophesy was initiated. The outer world at this time knew nothing of this exchange, nor did they care. Materialism was the way of the world." ['Serpent of Light' / D. Melchizedek]. Recall this authors ''method'' of {teaching?}. Those keys however are universal - regardless of method.

Something hinted at: "Our adept means hear to speak of the first sulphur, which is the gold of the sages, the green, unripe fruit of the tree of knowledge. While the Latin phrase betrays some disappointment relative to a normal result, which many would like very much to obtain, it is because by means of this 'sulphur' the transmutation can no longer be hoped for. Indeed the philosophical gold, is not the 'stone', and Philalethes carefully warns the student that it is only its first matter. And since this sulphur principle, according to the same author, requires an uninterrupted work of approximately one hundred and fifty days, it is logical to think that such a result could not satisfy the artist who anticipated reaching the 'elixir' in one bound, as it can happen in the short way." [Page 340 'The Dwellings of the Philosopher' / Fulcanelli].

From a different perspective: A Spanish team excavating at the Graeco-Roman port of Berenike in the Eastern Desert, find ''an unusual shrine containing 15 headless falcons. The falcons were buried alongside eggs - a practise not known anywhere else in Egypt. The temple shrine also contained inscriptions describing previously unknown rituals, and a stela warning: 'It is improper to boil a head in here,' forbidding people to carry out impure activities {'spotless'} within the shrine area. The discovery dates to the Late Roman Period - when the city was occupied by a nomadic people known as the Blemmyes, who adopted the small traditional Egyptian temple to fit their own religious beliefs.'' [Page 9 'Ancient Egypt Magazine' / January/February 2023].

Various etymologies had been proposed for the origins of the name "Blemmyes", and the question is considered unsettled.[1]

Side note: ''Pliny is hardly a trustworthy source when it comes to descriptions of remote tribes. Let's remember, he told us that the Blemmyis, who lived in the Sahara, had eyes and mouths in their chests. And there were dog headed people living in North Africa.'' [Page 190 'The Celts' / A.

Unusual ''religious beliefs'' or a universal mind set? 'Peak' experience? Going West?

Whats the common factor between all three?

Continued: In antiquity, the actual tribe known as the Blemmyes were said to be named eponymously after King Blemys (Βλέμυς), according to Nonnus's 5th century epic Dionysiaca, but no lore about headlessness is attached to the people in this work.[2][3] Samuel Bochart of the 17th century derived the word Blemmyes from the Hebrew bly (בלי) "without" and moach (מוח) "brain", implying that the Blemmyes were people without brains (although not necessarily without heads).[4][5] A Greek derivation from blemma (Greek: βλέμμα) "look, glance" and muō (Greek: μύω) "close the eyes" has also been suggested.[6] Wolfgang Helck claimed a Coptic word "blind" for its etymology....The first indirect reference to the Blemmyes occurs in Herodotus, Histories, where he calls them the akephaloi (Greek: ἀκέφαλοι "without a head").[12] The headless akephaloi, the dog-headed cynocephali, "and the wild men and women, besides many other creatures not fabulous" dwelled in the eastern edge of ancient Libya, according to Herodotus's Libyan sources. Leo Reinisch [de] in 1895 proposed that it derived from bálami "desert people" in the Bedauye tongue (Beja language). Although this theory had long been neglected,[8] this etymology has come into acceptance, alongside the identification of the Beja people as true descendants of the Blemmyes of yore.''

The text of the blessing is found in Numbers 6:23–27.

''Raising''? 'Ka'?

According to the Torah,[4] Aaron blessed the people,[5] and YHWH[6] promises that "They (the Priests) will place my name on the Children of Israel (the Priests will bless the people), and I will bless them". The Chazal stressed that although the priests are the ones carrying out the blessing, it is not them or the ceremonial practice of raising their hands that results in the blessing, but rather it is God's desire that the blessing should be symbolised by the Kohanim's hands.

Even after the destruction of the Second Temple, the practice has been continued in Jewish synagogues, and today in most Jewish communities, Kohanim bless the worshippers in the synagogue during shacharit prayer services.[citation needed]

Leo Minor was not regarded as a separate constellation by classical astronomers; it was designated by Johannes Hevelius in 1687...The lion's mane and shoulders also form an asterism known as "The Sickle," which to modern observers may resemble a backwards "question mark."

Something extra: ''In the Pyramid Text, Utterance 402 {therefore 'six' in total}, the so called {according to traditional interpretation} Cannibal Hymn presents Khonsu as a blood thirsty god who eats the other gods and consumes their magic. In fact, we are what we eat. When we 'devour books' or give special attention to various gods we are consuming their 'knowledge'....Khonsu represents a communion with nature and the neters. We plant his 'flag' beneath the apple tree near the composted soil that is used for the garden.''

A work in progress?...AND/OR Coincidence or a meaningful one?..."The dream of a 45 year old psychotherapist may help to make clear how the anima can be an inner guide. As he was going to bed on the evening before he had this dream, he thought to himself that it was hard to stand alone in life, lacking the support of a church. He found himself envying people who are protected by the maternal embrace of an organization. {He had been born a Protestant but no longer had any religious affiliation}. This was his dream :- I am in the aisle of an old church filled with people. Together with my mother and my wife. I sit at the end of the aisle in what seem to be extra seats. I am to celebrate the Mass as a priest, and i have a big Mass book in my hands, or, rather, a prayer book or an anthology of poems. This book is not familiar to me, and i cannot find the right text. I am very excited because i have to begin soon, and to add to my troubles, my mother and wife disturb me by chattering about unimportant trifles. Now the organ stops, and everybody is waiting for me, so i get up in a determined way and ask one of the nuns who is kneeling behind me to hand me her Mass book and point out the right place - which she does in an obliging manner. Now, like a sort of sexton, this same nun precedes me to the altar, which is somewhere behind me and to the left,{in profile?} as if we are approaching it from a side aisle.

'Snake/Dragon head' on land. 'tail' in the sea.

The Mass book is like a sheet of pictures, a sort of board, three feet long and a foot wide, and on it is the text with ancient pictures in columns,{cuneiform link?} one beside the other. First the nun has to read a part of the liturgy before i begin, and i still have not found the right place in the text. She has told me that it is number 15, but the numbers are not clear, and i cannot find it. With determination however, i turn toward the congregation,{'face on' instead of 'in profile'?} and now i have found number 15 {the next to the last on the board. Therefore 16 in total}, although i do not yet know if i will be able to decipher it. I want to try all the same - i wake up. THIS dream expressed in a symbolic way an answer from the unconscious to the thoughts that the dreamer had had the evening before. It had said to him, in effect: ''You yourself, must become a priest in your own inner church - in the church of your soul." [ 'Man and his Symbols' / C. Jung.

Side note. ''Sixteen'' in relation to..."In this dream the anima appears in her proper positive role - that is, as a mediator between the ego and the self. The 4x4 configuration of the pictures points to the fact that the celebration of this inner Mass is performed in the service of totality. As Jung has demonstrated, the nucleus of the psyche {the Self} normally expresses itself in some kind of fourfold structure. The number four is also connected to the anima because, as Jung noted, there are four stages in its development. The first stage is best symbolised..." Same book.

And/or {i.e.,expressed in a different form}: "In order to understand what man is at the present time, that is, at the present level of development, it is necessary to imagine to a certain extent what he can be, that is, what he can attain. Only by understanding the correct sequence of development possible will people cease to ascribe to themselves what, at present, they do not possess, and what, perhaps, they can only acquire after great effort and labour. According to ancient teaching, traces of which may be found in many systems, old and new, a man who has attained the full development possible for man, consists of four bodies. These four bodies are composed of substances which gradually become finer and finer, mutually interpenetrate one another, and form 'four' independent organisms, standing in a definite relationship to one another but capable of independent action. The reason why it is possible for four bodies to exist is that the human organism, that is, the physical body, has such a complex organism that, under certain conditions, a new independent organism can grow in it, affording a much more convenient and responsive instrument for the activity of consciousness than the physical body. The consciousness manifested in this new body is capable of governing it, and it has full power and full control over the physical body..." [ 'In Search of the Miraculous'].

lozenge-150x150

Bush Barrow 'lozenge' . "Three and four."

As seen from a different 'perspective'..."The number 15 has already occurred several times and is related to the rotation of the Earth on its axis, where it takes twenty four divisions of 15 degrees to complete one revolution, what we currently define as one hour of time. It is also significant that the moon is always full on the 15th day of its cycle, the midpoint of the lunar calendar used to govern religious affairs. If Solomon's Temple was based on knowledge of the natural world and the perceived wisdom that existed at the time, then one would expect this reference to 120 cubits {i.e.,height of 'Temple' } to have some link to that understanding. Not surprisingly there is such evidence. It just so happens that all the integers in the range 1 to 15, when added together, make a total of 120. What is more, these numbers fit into an arithmetical pattern known as triangular numbers. These integers produce some interesting characteristics.

Isle of Wight flag. Lozenge?

Council flag.

For example, if all the odd numbers are added together, they make sixtyfour {64}. If we now add them together to produce intervening subtotals, we get the squares of the consecutive integers...So what could the number 120 relate to? Old testament text implies the word 'oracle' is associated with the holy of holies, which as we know is a cube measuring... " [From the book by K. Gest. Emphasis, this readers]. Amongst others try '120' ; '64' ; 'triangular / triangle' / ''twice as high as broad'' etc.

And/or: ''At the beginning of Henry VIII's reign in 1509, there were three different coins used as currency. The coins and their value were roughly as follows: silver penny, the lowest; a silver groat (worth four pennies/pence); gold angel (worth 120 pence/10 shillings); and gold half-angel (worth 60 pence/10 shillings).

The Great Debasement (1544–1551) was a currency debasement policy introduced in 1544 England under the order of Henry VIII which saw the amount of precious metal in gold and silver coins reduced and in some cases replaced entirely with cheaper base metals such as copper. He became known as 'Old Coppernose'....'' [Wiki].

And/or: ''Twentyfour is the number of totality, since it is connected to the twentyfour hours of the day and night -  although in antiquity the day was counted in 12 double hours of 120 minutes each - and in nautical reckoning, the glass, equalling 30 minutes measured by the hour glass, was maintained till recently. 24 also appears as a measurement: the ancient German Elle, or yard, consisted of 24 finger's' breadth.''

Musicians?

The earliest reference to the word "lyre" is the Mycenaean Greek ru-ra-ta-e, meaning "lyrists" and written in the Linear B script. In classical Greek, the word "lyre" could either refer specifically to an amateur instrument, which is a smaller version of the professional cithara and eastern-Aegean barbiton, or "lyre" can refer generally to all three instruments as a family.[2] The English word comes via Latin from the Greek

Plucked Duck?

''On a stringed instrument, staccato articulation involves short bow strikes that typically alternate between downbow and upbow strokes. The pizzicato technique of playing with fingers naturally lends itself to staccato....Pizzicato” translates roughly as “plucked”, or “pinched”. The result is a short, slightly muted sound, much like a jazz “walking bass”. Instruments using a bow (violin, cello, etc.) may use the end of their bow to pluck the strings for this effect.''

''Staccato ([stakˈkaːto]; Italian for "detached") is a form of musical articulation. In modern notation, it signifies a note of shortened duration,[1][2] separated from the note that may follow by silence.[3] It has been described by theorists and has appeared in music since at least 1676.''

''Staccato means played with a short GAP between each notes.'' ['Impossible' / S4 EP21].

The opposite musical articulation of staccato is legato, signifying long and continuous notes.
