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'.

"Who were the Gog and Magog people? This question is connected with the question, who was Dhu al Qarnayn? ''Lord of two Qarns'' [horns].

[Page 144 'Alchemical Studies' / C.G. Jung].

"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].

''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).''

Side 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.

Preceded by Lent, it begins on Easter Sunday, which initiates Easter Week in Western Christianity, and Bright Week in Eastern Christianity.

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 greeting, clipping 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]

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.

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.”

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: {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.

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].

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....''

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].

AND/OR: The horse is a universal symbol of the Mother. This again is an objective symbol for the Unconscious, the animal life, since it is from thence that consciousness is born. Again, the horse in astrological symbolism corresponds to the zodiacal sign Sagittarius which represents aspiration and spiritual yearning. Associated with this idea there is the Chaldean Oracle:  Also there is the Vision of the fire-flashing courser of Light, or also a child borne aloft on the  shoulders of the celestial steed, fiery, or clothed with Gold, or naked, or shooting with the bow shafts of Light, and standing on the shoulders of the Horse. But if thy meditation prolongeth itself thou shalt unite all these Symbols in the form of a Lion. Nearly all animals, from the psychological viewpoint, indicate libido or instinct, the type and size of animal indicating the degree of its domesticity. Speed in running is the chief characteristic of the horse. Its tendency when frightened to bolt with the bit between its teeth is another. These are fairly descriptive symbols of the primitive instinctive principle inhering within each one of us. ['The Philosophers Stone' / I. Regardie].

Every year, in preparation for the first of May (unless this falls on a Sunday, in which case the festival takes place on Monday 2nd), Padstow's narrow streets and ancient harbour are extravagantly decorated with flowers, flags and greenery {especially young sycamores}, the focus of which is a tall and colourful May Pole. What follows is a grand procession, usually attended by thousands, in which two groups of dancers, accompanied by drums, triangles and marching accordion players, make their way through the town, one of each team dressed in a stylized recreation of a horse and wearing a striking and faintly terrifying mask. These are the Old and Blue Ribbon Osses, both of whom have stables from which they emerge in the morning and to which they return at night....Led by teaser and trailed by crowds of followers dressed in white with red and blue sashes and a number of junior Osses operated by children, the two main Osses pretend to try to catch maidens as they pass through the narrow streets. This bizarre dance continues all day long until, at midnight, the townsfolk join together to sing Padstow's unique 'May Song';

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.

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.''

That rock there is inside my head.' "You must have a big head," the master replied, ''to hold a rock that size." [Extract from the book 'The Cosmic Trigger'. Mentioned elsewhere].

That final link to a 'potential'...a potential, that once made aware of, could lead to a 'reversal of fortune',i.e.,'higher within the lower'. Andrew Sinclair does the same, but now in relation to the 'Grail' story...' The Discovery of the Grail. ' The word 'giant' mentioned in relation to the British isles. Find it it you want to understand your own county's symbolism in relation to the whole. Woodhenge in relation to Stonehenge,[macro]. Sarsen stones in relation to those 'blue' ones, [micro].

''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." [ Tom Muir/ Orkney museum from the program 'Sacred Wonders of Britain' {episode 1} narrated by Neil Oliver. Emphasis, this readers].

Question. Cassiopeia?

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.''

Side note: ''To exact the maximum payment which a person can afford is to 'squeeze them until their pips squeak'...'' ['The Chase'].

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.'' [Page 26 'Current Archaeology' / March 2023].

Accidental or ritual?

'Boar' to enlarge.

Swine herder?

''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'].

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.''

'Happy hour'?

Happy is one of the seven dwarfs in Disney’s 1937 animated feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. He gets his name from his jovial and optimistic demeanor. Most often seen with a cheery smile, he is partial to parties, food, and dancing—all of which he is eager to share with the other dwarfs¹. Interestingly, Happy was the only dwarf who introduced himself to the Disney Princess, Snow White; the rest were tongue-tied....

Happy introduces himself, while Snow White guesses the other dwarfs names.{'Pawn Stars' / S18 EP21}.

From a different perspective: .....and an oddly shaped half moon/boat with a prominent eye. Next comes an angry sun face with bulging spiral eyes, dumbbell-shaped mouth, and prominent chin. Sixteen large spikes and sixteen smaller spikes inside a containing outer circle surround the face. The sun circle itself is surrounded by four stars, placed in the corners of the rectangle and tilted so that their diagonal axes cut through the center point of the sun face. The final image is an oval that fills the entire space of the side and contains a cross with four A’s in it. The A’s are unusual for having a sharply angled crossbar rather than the usual horizontal one....

At first glance, the sun face is indeed a devouring sun as Boucher tells us. Its design is vaguely Mesoamerican, suggesting Aztec or Incan calendrical sun disks. None of our sources draws any attention to this obvious fact. While the angry sun does suggest a catastrophe motif, the more obvious Tarot image for this face is The Sun, trump 19. This card is attributed to Leo, and the Hebrew letter resh, the R of the Lallemant mansion’s enigmatic credence, is its Hebrew letter. Its simple meaning of “completion of a cycle” points to its basic meaning on the monument. The sun will complete a great cycle, perhaps even the great cycle, the monument implies. The sun face is opposite the eight-rayed star, and, as Boucher suggests, there is a numerical connection between them (see fig. 11.9). The star’s rays grow by a geometric progression on the sun face, doubling or crossing from 8 to 16 to 32. Mevryl’s idea of the sun behind the sun is suggestive, for it makes the star asymbol of Sirius. We are given no clue concerning the four stars surrounding the sun. Mevryl does have a few ideas on the stars, including the possibility that they are the inner and outer planets.!

If we think of Fulcanelli’s image of the dragon’s mouth, the center of the galaxy, spewing out flame and light, then the star might just relate to an eruption from the galactic center. Coupled with the angry sun face, this might also be a clue to the “double cataclysm.” The starlike disturbance from the center of the galaxy might trigger a reaction in our own sun, hence Fulcanelli’s insistence on a “double” catastrophe....

The event, which gave Abram his insight into the nature of time, which was the window of the letter heh needed to spell Abraham, was his covenant with God. At this event, we are told in Genesis, a fiery torch passed through the alignment of sacrifices from the northwest to the southeast, an alignment preserved to this day by the location of the Black Stone in the cube or Kaaba of Mecca. This line from the northwest to the southeast corner is the galactic axis, of course. Abraham’s covenant represents a shift from the High God of the El to a new hidden god controlling the temporal quality of the galactic axis and its alignments. This God, unlike the placid and benign El, could become angry and dispense judgment and destruction. ['The Mysteries of the Great Cross at Hendaye'].

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. The midway spot, which is neither dry nor wet, must provide the standing place whereon his feet are set. When water, land and air meet there is the place for 'magic' to be wrought."

 

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 (Arabic: عيد 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.

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.

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."

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...."

Working example {?}: ''Helsinki is the only Nordic European capital city that begins with the letter 'H'...'' ['The Chase'].

''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.''

Brought up to date...That ''oral tradition'' in relation to: "But when we go back further in history, before Christianity, it becomes even more difficult to decipher what people believed in. The belief of our pre-historic ancestors are mysteries. They didn't write anything down - so we are left to turn to archeology for some clues..." [Alice Roberts 'Digging For Britain'].

"Didn't write anything down'' in relation to {as ONE example only: "Josephus, born at Jerusalem in 37AD., was the greatest historian of the Jews in that period. Philo was the greatest Jewish philosopher of that period. Both men had personal knowledge of the ancient Essenes. Both scholars make clear that the Essenian roots are incredibly ancient. Josephus declares that the Essenes have existed ''from time immorial'' and ''countless generations''. Philo agrees, calling the Essenes ''the most ancient of all the initiates'' with a ''teaching perpetuated through an immense space of ages''. Continued elsewhere.

''But why does the Boibel-Loth contain so many approximations to Biblical 'names', taken from Genesis and Exodus, which in Christian times had lost their religious importance: Lot, Telmen, Jachin, Hur, Caleb, Ne-esthan - all names concerned with Sinai, Southern Judaea and the Edomite Dead Sea region. This is the region that the Essene communities were settled from about 150 BC - 132 AD.....They appear to be an offshoot of the Therapeutae, or healers, an ascetic sect settled by Lake Mareotis in Egypt.....They believed in the Western Paradise.....in the return of pure souls to the Sun...."

Side note: "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. But here too there's many a slip between the CUP AND THE LIP {jaw/teeth?}.

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. But as we know nature can be a very cruel mistress.''

I only wish to point out the alchemical prototypes that may have had an influence on Paracelsus, and to suggest that the longing of Melusina for a soul and for redemption has a parallel in that kingly substance which is 'hidden in the sea' {urchin'?}, and cries out for deliverence. Of this filius regius Michael Maier says: 'He lives and calls from the depths: Who shall deliver me from the waters and lead me to dry land?' {'forests'?}.

''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.

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 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.''

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.

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.''

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.

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.''

And/or: {something hinted at}: "Draco, the Dragon can be associated with the snake...in mythology it was the snake snatched by Minerva from the 'giants' and whirled {'spiral'?} to the sky...It was the tempter of Eve in the Garden....But the Dragon would seem to be the most probable as the ancient possessor of the pole star {'Hippo'.

''The core of the Osirian Mysteries began midmonth and lasted ten days from the 12th to the 21st....Two temples were the major centers : Abydos in Upper Egypt commenerated his death, while Busiris in Lower Egypt celebrated his resurrection during winter solstice rights....Isis and sister mourned the dead Osiris, following a burial sledge {pallet?} to the grave....Other priestesses carried winnowing baskets that contained the seed gathered from the LAST harvest of the PREVIOUS year. 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.''

Refresher: ''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 42, 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 fortytwo is as full of twists as the road itself.''

 

Side note: ''Further north, women were great shamans. In Iceland the priestess was called Spakona, from the word spa, which meant to prophesy.

Although Iceland is not a member of the European Union (EU), its relation to the EU is mainly based on the EEA Agreement, which came into effect in 1994. 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 EU Common Fisheries Policy is an important reason why Greenland, Norway and Iceland stay outside the EU.''

A working example: ''Very few Huastec statues have been found in their archaeological context, as most have been looted. Those that have been found in situ have been discovered on top of large platform mounds....They left behind no writing....The Huastec region was so multiethnic and multilinqual that it didn't make sense to convey ideas via text, but rather to convey common ideologies and narratives through imagery alone {'hieroglyph'?}....La Grandeza de Mexico  statue was almost seven feet tall, but measures just three inches from front to back {'eye of the needle'?}...She wears a long skirt down to her ankles and a loincloth with 'three knots'.

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.

A working example: It helps to think of the secret at the core of alchemy as a very special and sophisticated variety of meme. Like a spore or a seed, the meme has a protective shell that is also attractive to appropriate hosts. In the case of the alchemy meme, that shell is the seductive allure of the transmutation of base metal into gold. Even if one absorbs the outer shell of the alchemy meme, however, there is no guarantee that the inner core will blossom and the meme become active. For that to happen, a series of shocks or initiations is required.....

The three fiery pomegranates of the pediment, which Fulcanelli informs us “confirm the triple action of a single procedure,” are the three upper sefirot, Kether, Chokmah, and Binah. The capitals of the pillars are Chesed and Gevurah and the feet are Hod and Netzach. The center niche is Tiferet, here displaced upward and focused on the rising-sun/scallop-shell motif above the inscription. The bottom step represents the foundation of Yesod and the greenery below it symbolizes Malkuth. The three pillars of the Tree are clearly delineated. The middle pillar is curiously focused on the rising sun of Tiferet, with another larger, inner sun—“fire above the abyss,” as the I Ching puts it—rising above the ledge attributed to Daat.

AND/OR: According to one popular writer, it is a means of obtaining self-knowledge through breaking down the shell of fantasy in which the ordinary person is confined. Analysis is sometimes defined as a process the object of which is to enhance consciousness. It proceeds by making conscious those unconscious elements in the instinctual and morally compulsive life which experience demonstrates to be in conflict with or untrue to reality. The crystallization of the field of consciousness, with its consequent narrowing of the possibilities of experience, produces a species of living death. The alchemists proposed to kill death. Their object, by the psychological method of interpretation, was to disintegrate this inflexible rigidity of mind....

This process they call the dissolution or putrefaction. Consciousness is broken down into its component parts. From this apparently amorphous and homogenous resultant, it was their intention to reassemble the fundamental elements of consciousness on an entirely new and healthy basis. It was proposed to establish another foundation altogether, one capable of functioning in a completely regal and spiritual way. So that the divine root which, according to their theory, had become occultated and subordinated by the presumption of man’s ego, is able to manifest through a mentality which is free from the defects which characterize the average intelligence. Consciousness is to be vivified utterly and is not separated from the Unconscious by a sharp and unnatural cleavage or partition from the other levels of the psyche. Thus the contents of the one part, by a reversal of values and functions, have full access of entry into the other, and vice versa....The true furnace is a little simple shell; thou mayst easily carry it in one of thy hands. The glass is one and no more; but some philosophers have used two, and so mayst thou. As for the work itself, it is no way troublesome.... ['The Philosophers Stone'].

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.'

"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].

Bent pyramid? ['Blowing up History' / Sat. TV].

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." [Pages 239/40 'The Dwellings of the Philosophers' / Fulcanelli].

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?'

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..."

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.''

Yellow Sea / Red Sea ? What about 'Blue'? {'Green' language?}.

''Green'' = Lotus link? {i.e., vegetative}.

''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.''

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].

All those 'natural' qualities used as a means...?

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.''

'Twentyfour'.

Question. Any flora within that 'hollow'?

Side note: Thirty is a number connected with order and justice. In ancient Rome, a man had to reach the age of 30 to become a tribune, and according to biblical traditions, both Moses and
Jesus began their public preaching at that age. The Old Testament book of Judges ascribes to the judge Jair 30 sons who rode on 30 ass colts and had 30 cities (Judg. 10:4), while Samson promised the 30 friends at his feast that they would receive 30 robes and 30 festive garments if they could answer his riddle (Judg. 14:11-12). In the New Testament, meanwhile, Judas betrayed the lord Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. As a result some exegetes concluded that the value of any person, even a king, would be 29 dirhams or less, given that Christ's "price" was indeed not more than 30 pieces of silver. A delightful German ballad by Gottfried August Burger (d. 1794) relates this story.

Another form of exegesis was used by early medieval Christian theologians such as the Venerable Bede to explain why, in the parable of the Sower (Mt. 13: 8), the seed that fell on good soil brought forth grain "some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty." This was elucidated in terms of the old form of finger counting, in which the numbers 30 and 60 were expressed by certain figures made with the left hand, while 100 was a circle formed by the thumb and index finger of the right hand. 30 and sixty, belonging to the left hand, are still incomplete, but 100 is fulfilment and eternal life. ['The Mystery of Numbers'].

Sed Festival?

''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''

Side note: ''The Inca's referred to gold as the 'sweat of the sun'...'' ['Pawn Stars' / 2020].

''Sweat'' = moisture and salt.

Question. What can 'grow' from it?

"Eureka" comes from the Ancient Greek word εὕρηκα heúrēka, meaning "I have found (it)", which is the first person singular perfect indicative active of the verb εὑρίσκω heurískō "I find".^[1] It is closely related to heuristic, which refers to experience-based techniques for problem-solving, learning, and discovery.''

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].

And/or: "The Greeks equated Set with the image of Typhon, The Destroyer. 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?

Side note: The first coinage ever - came from a small island in the Aegean Sea. The Silver Stater. In the form of a turtle {made of 'electrum' - ''green gold''}. Years later the form changed from turtle into a tortoise . From a 'sea' animal into a 'land' one.  Wet and Dry. No one really knows why. That external shell that hides something internal. Like the shell of an egg or seed. To get closer to the truth and/or mind set add this subject to those possibilities. ['Pawn Stars' / History channel].

''Although Moana is from the fictional island Motunui some 3,000 years ago, the story and culture of Moana is based on the very real heritage and history of Polynesian islands such as Hawaii, Samoa, Tonga, and Tahiti.'' i.e., a turtle begins the story. Begins the facination of water.

''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". Its colour ranges from pale to bright yellow, depending on the proportions of gold and silver. It has been produced artificially, and is also known as "green gold". [Wiki].

#Some say the Capstone of the Gt. Pyramid was made of same.

Nature moves not by the theory of men but by their practice, and surely wit and reason can perform no miracles unless the hands supply them. Be sure then to know this fire in the first place, and accordingly be sure to make use of it. But for thy better security I will describe it to thee once more. It is a dry, vaporous, humid fire; it goes round about the glass and is both equal and continual. It is restless, and some have called it the white philosophical coal. It is in itself natural, but the preparation of it is artificial. It is a heat of the dead, wherefore some call it their unnatural, necromantic fire. It is no part of the matter, neither is it taken out of it; but it is an external fire and serves only to stir up and strengthen the inward oppressed fire of the chaos. But let us hear Nature herself, for thus she speaks in the serious romance of Mehung....

“Behind will stands desire.” So runs an alchemical aphorism. This can be assumed to imply that desire directs will, and gives to it an object to achieve. Or else it may imply that the basis or background of the Will is desire or emotion, and that the former has grown out of the latter, as an evolution or sublimation, even as consciousness depends upon the Unconscious. The motive power of the instinctual life is the libido, desire, the vital spirit, while the motive power of the intellectual life is the Will. In its developments and peregrinations, in its eclipse by the magnetic trance state, the will loses its former sense of direction. But having almost reached the verge of annihilation, so to speak, reaching the nadir of its life, it restores itself by an effort which is mighty beyond words. One step towards this divine restoration is the fierceness of its fire and heat, as though desperation towards life urged forth every ounce of inherent vitality. At this stage, when it associates itself with and is given life by desire, the emotional nature, it is often called the Vitriol of Venus or the Green Lion, both implying the volitional power of penetration, fiery and crude, of immature but evolving spiritual energy....

And Vaughan goes on to remark that “it is not part of the matter, neither is it taken out of it, but it is an external fire and serves only to stir up and strengthen the inward oppressed fire of the Chaos”. Here we are back once more on familiar ground. In occultism there can be no initiation - that is “ the commencement of a new interior life - in a candidate or aspirant without an initiator. This process has been somewhat described in the magical section of Chapter Eight. ['The Philosophers Stone'].

Here we are back once more on familiar ground. In occultism there can be no initiation - that is “ the commencement of a new interior life - in a candidate or aspirant without an initiator. This process has been somewhat described in the magical section of Chapter Eight. In the mesmeric art it is the magnetism projected upon the patient by the magnetizer which enables the former to pass regressively, as Mrs. Atwood suggests, through the many phases of his historical and evolutionary development back to his long-forgotten life in Reality....

The medium (that is the astro-mental sheath) in its natural state is volatile, immanifest, fantastic, irrational and impotent, compared with what it subsequently is able and by artificial conception suffers itself to become. The Alchemists, we repeat therefore, did not remain satisfied with a few passes of the hand or any first phenomena whatever, but they proceeded at once scientifically to purify, depriving the ether of its wild affections and impressures by a dissolution of the circulating body in its own blood. For this is the brazen Wall celebrated by Antiquity. Take the occult Nature, which is our Brass, says Albertus, and wash it that it may be pure and clean. ['The Philosophers Stone' / I. Regardie].

The ancient sages pictured truth as a delicate thing, egg born, and in perpetual need of protection. "

Broken/UNbroken as a means....?

And/or: ''Esoteric or {mind set} - calls the important stage of development, wherein we become conscious in sleep, ''continuity {or unbrokenness} of consciousness''. For a person who has reached this stage of development, perception and experience are no longer interupted by those periods when the body rests and the soul no longer recieves impressions from the senses - consciousness is UNBROKEN.'' [Page 171 'How to Know Higher Worlds' / R. Steiner].

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..."

The makaainanas' (commoners') boards, called alaia, were only 10–12 feet long, and were made from denser koa wood. Although olo were less dense, they still could weigh up to 175 pounds. If a commoner dropped in on a wave that an ali‘i wanted to ride, or rode a wave that an ali‘i was catching, those violations warranted the death penalty....

The creation of a surfboard was also sacred. Before chopping down a tree, a surfboard maker would place a kūmū, or ritualistic fish, in a hole near the roots of the tree and pray. After the tree was cut down and hauled away, it would be roughly shaped using bone or adze.

Continued: At least I had found confirmation of something I had long believed: The Holy Grail, the sangreal, in old French, could just as easily designate “royal blood” (sang royal) or royal lineage as it could a cup, chalice, or platter that-— if we subscribe to the version of the story popularized first by the Clunisians, then by the Cistercians — contained the blood of Christ. But supporting the theory of legitimate descendants of the “hairy kings,” meaning the Merovingians, and their debatable origin (Jesus and Mary Magdalene), was out of the question for me, even from a heuristic perspective, though the possibility was worth raising. This was during the time before Scorsese’s film The Last Temptation of Christ had unleashed such outrage and controversy, yet the book by Kazantzakis on which the film was based had been around for some time without unleashing such debate. Let us not forget that the church of Rennes-le-Chateau is dedicated to Mary Magdalene and that she is oddly and abundantly depicted in the interior of this sanctuary. This reflects the will of Father Sauniere, also the builder of the Magdala Tower in which he wished to house his library. Strange, no? The reading of Holy Blood, Holy Grail forced me to ask myself many obviously unanswerable questions. It also compelled me to reread Le Tresor du triangle d’or by Jean-Luc Chaumeil, who in this instance turned out to be my “introducing brother” to a strange “closed white assembly,” where I was the sole noninitiate.....

An imposing mass of a castle and the more discreet steeple of a church from which, extending westward, a bizarre construction in the shape of a tower seemed to defy the abyss below. This was Rennes-le-Chateau, a village, like so many others, built from stone and Roman tile roofs and made up of empty streets that seemed to suggest that no one had ever dared to live there. ['The Church of Mary Magdalene' ].

And/or: {something hinted at}: " After the stress and shock of the sudden awakening to the fundamental error of separateness - after the lightening flash of true knowledge has toppled the crown off the Tower of Common Sense - as shown in the 16th Major Trump, there comes a period of calm and gradual growth. In the second stage which we considered in the previous lesson, there is a sudden and painful overthrow of the 'false' wisdom of the world, a momentary, but never-to-be-forgotten glimpse of reality, of the absolute unity of life. In the 'third' stage this new conception of the Oneness of all, begins gradually to unfold. What happens to this unfoldment, and the specific activities involved therein, we may discover from the study of the 17th key of the Tarot....This picture develops the esoteric meaning of the Hebrew letter Tzaddi, named the ''fish hook''....That which pulls the 'fish' {Nun, i.e.,14th letter} OUT of Water {Mem, i.e., 13th letter}….''To hook'' is to draw, to entice, to procure....Has a particular application to the Christian aspects to the Ageless Wisdom, i.e., Jesus chose fishermen for disciples, and promised them that they should become 'fishers of men'...."

Continued: "Tor is an English word referring to to a high rock or a hill, deriving from the old English 'torr'. The Celtic name for Tor was Ynys Wydryn, or sometimes Yhys Gutrin, meaning ''Isle of Glass''. At this time the plain was flooded, the Isle became a peninsula at low tide." [Wiki/ Glastonbury Tor].

From a different perspective: ''I watch Bradley tensing his muscles, quickly descending the creaking stairs, half expecting to hear his steps echoed by those of the 'Vicar'.

[Final page of the book 'Mercurius' / P. Harpur].

"The conical hill of clay and Blue Lias rises from the Somerset levels. It was formed when surrounding softer deposits were eroded, leaving the hard cap of sandstone exposed. The slopes of the hill are terraced, the method of which they were formed remains unexplained..."

Refresher {as one example}: "There is a mosque whose foundation was laid from the first day on piety; it is more worthy of thy standing forth therein.

You are illuminated in more ways than one.....this dark food that brings you to light....This maize food brings imagery of being chased through the labyrinth by the fabled minotaur, perhaps, but when you turn around you find it is yourself.''

''The labyrinth is a reflection of the labyrinthine canals of the inner ear that regulate balance on the ground, for to slay the minotaur, or engage with the vitality of life, is to do so in a balanced way, in a way that harmonises the VERTICAL of the quest, the journey for vision, and the HORIZONTAL of the ground {sensation}....Theseus and Ariadne {spirit and soul} together provide the alchemy of relationship necessary to release instictual vitality from its routine existence and ENTRAPMENT at the heart of the labyrinth.''

A working example {i.e.,something hinted at}: "Dominique opened the little woodstove and called to Dutheil: We'll gather the ashes, and you will go and throw them into the Seine {i.e.,'river'}." ['Journey into the Light'].

Question. Woodhenge in relation to Stonehenge? Enlarged elsewhere.

"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'].

''Perfection is not a boring, self righteous state in which you criticize everyone about you, but a widening of all your HORIZONS." [ Marian Green book. Page 42].

The ''wide'' garment of Dionysos?

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...

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.....

Side note: Recall the Whale geoglyph {Nazca Lines} with "eye of stone".

Continued: 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 goose, swan, cormorant, gull 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?

"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."

''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.''

"We believe they were home to elite tribal families / defensive forts / statements of power. But we don't know why most were abandoned by the 4th century A.D." ['Digging for Britain' / Episode 2].

Question. Could that ''elite family/s'' have understood something? Define those 'keys' to answer that ''mystery''. Among others try ''tower'' and/or N/E in relation to S/W? As a means...? {i.e., the above was 'decommissioned ' in the 2nd century AD - all others - by the 4th. Any Scottish links - either permanently or temporarily to the origins of 'Glastonbury'?}.

The main point being - understanding the authenticity of this 'subject material' from the oral tradition up to the present time - gives such questions {hypothesis?} validity. Understanding the parts {keys?} - gets us closer to defining what our ancestors were attempting to understand {within?} themselves.

"A new way of seeing is a new way of feeling.'' D. Hockney.

Question. Outward manifestation of something within? Archetypal? 'Decommissioned' ONCE understood?

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'. It contain several castles, including Oystermouth Castle and Pennard Castle {overlooking Three Cliffs Bay - which is close to Oxwich Bay}. It is a peninsula on the south coast of Wales, within the county of Swansea.'' ['Chase the Case'].

Continued: S/W - sea - cave {womb?} and/or S/W - river - tor. Anything? Try ''teeth'' or ''cave'' or ''ochre'' {therefore ''red''} or ''flint'' or ''rod'' or ''ivory'' or ''elephant'' { therefore 'horn'} etc.

Side note: "The only other evidence relating to these figurines {enlarged elsewhere} is their dating, and here another striking similarity is revealed: all those from contexts which could be dated may be attributed to the centuries between about 25,000 - 23000 BC. All were therefore apparently produced in a relatively short period of the Palaeolithic, that in which the ice sheets were starting to advance southward for the last time." ['The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles' / R. Hutton].

"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.

Side note: The Battle of the Milvian Bridge took place between the Roman Emperors Constantine I and Maxentius on 28 October 312 AD. It takes its name from the Milvian Bridge, an important route over the Tiber. Constantine won the battle and started on the path that led him to end the Tetrarchy and become the sole ruler of the Roman Empire. Maxentius drowned in the Tiber during the battle; his body was later taken from the river and decapitated, and his head was paraded through the streets of Rome on the day following the battle before being taken to Africa.^[2]

According to Christian chroniclers Eusebius of Caesarea and Lactantius, the battle marked the beginning of Constantine's conversion to Christianity. Eusebius of Caesarea recounts that Constantine and his soldiers had a vision sent by the Christian God. This was interpreted as a promise of victory if the sign of the Chi Rho, the first two letters of Christ's name in Greek, was painted on the soldiers' shields.

AND/OR: The middle eight, also known as the bridge, is a section of a song with a different melody and lyrics that creates a contrast to the verse and chorus. It is usually placed after the second chorus in a song and helps the song develop itself in a natural way. An example of a middle eight is the part that starts with "And all the roads we have to walk are winding..." in Wonderwall by Oasis....The Beatles: Their song “A Day in the Life” has an iconic middle 8 starting at 2:17. It adds an interesting section and symbolizes chaos before waking up.

And: "Wander to the top of Long Acre, cross Drury Lane, and you’ll find yourself in a quieter, more sedate side of Covent Garden. Great Queen Street is not exactly off the beaten track, but it seems as though the hubbub, which makes this central London area so appealing to most, suddenly seems far away. The creamy façade and gold lettering of this enclave’s newest hotel gives an insight to what’s to come. Middle Eight – named after the middle part of the song that gives a touch of variety to a tune – has a fittingly intriguing name well-suited to its alluring design aesthetic. It may look elegant and discreet, but this is a hotel with soul...The philosophy of any luxury hotel should be to lure you in and Middle Eight does that slowly and confidently, or in musical terms, adagio, adagio. Just off the double-height lobby, the bar has the prettiest ceiling covered with copper, cut-out sycamore leaves – a little nod to the Sycamore Vino Cucina restaurant found beyond."

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].

Side note: The middle 8 can even feature a completely different atmosphere in terms of the arrangement, forming an interesting contrast with the rest of the song. Quite often, it involves a key change. Whatever you choose to put in this section, there is only one important factor to keep in mind: a middle 8 exists to bring variety to a song. It is a sort of break before we go back to the main part of the tune, the chorus. It serves the need to make the song more dynamic, as it adds movement and tension, finalized to resolve on the hook....

The bridge usually connects a verse to the chorus, while the middle 8 doesn’t serve as a connection but, rather, as a turning point. For example, Lenny Kravitz’s song I’ll Be Waiting features both a bridge between every verse and chorus and a middle 8 before the last chorus...One of the best middle 8s of all time is probably represented by the Beatles’ song A Day in the Life. The middle 8 starts at 2:17 after an orchestral break that intensively builds up towards another calmer section, somewhat symbolizing the chaos of a dream minutes before waking up.

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.

   Side note: The first brilliant cuts were introduced in the middle of the 17th century. Known as Mazarins, they had seventeen facets on the crown (upper half). They are also called double-cut brilliants as they are seen as a step up from old single cuts. Vincent Peruzzi, a Venetian polisher, later increased the number of crown facets from 17 to 33 (triple-cut or Peruzzi brilliants), thereby significantly increasing the fire and brilliance of the cut gem, properties that in the Mazarin were already incomparably better than in the rose. Yet Peruzzi-cut diamonds, when seen nowadays, seem exceedingly dull compared to modern-cut brilliants. Because the practice of bruting had not yet been developed, these early brilliants were all rounded squares or rectangles in cross-section (rather than circular). Given the general name of cushion—what are known today as old mine cuts—these were common by the early 18th century.

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.

While 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.

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].

A 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.

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 Vortigern, King 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 Beowulf. J. 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 Conservation, Special 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."

What river flows into the habour?

"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 rabbits. Domestic 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 conegar, coneygree 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."

Working example: "That night, for a few hours, {H}elen went mad. My questioning her recollection had profoundly affected her and she had plunged in the evening after the session, DOWN into a nightmare memory....." [Page 76 'Apollo Versus the Echo Maker' / A. Lunt].

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."

Continued: "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."

SIDE NOTE: "The Circlet of Pisces is an asterism that represents the head of the Western Fish in the constellation of Pisces¹²³. It is formed by a rough oval of seven stars leading off towards Fumalsamakah, the westernmost major star of Pisces¹. The Circlet of Pisces is located between the Great Square of Pegasus and Aquarius constellation². It is also sometimes called the Circlet due to its distinctive shape....

Pisces lies between Aries constellation to the east and Aquarius to the west.

Some will cross the bridge like lightning; some, like the wind; some, like a running horse; some, by running; some, by walking; some, by crawling; some, by creeping. As for those who will go to Hell, they will neither die nor attain a new life. After sinners burn in Hell as much as their sins, intercession for them [sinners] will be permitted.'' [Bukhari].

And since the Battle of the Trees proves to have been a battle of 'letters' rather than trees, his suggestion that the fabulous dance of trees to Orpheus's lyre was, rather, a dance of letters, makes good historical and poetic sense....

…..But there may have been a plainer meaning for the 'dance of the trees'. According to Apollonius Rhodius, the wild oak trees which Orpheus had led down from the Pierian mountain were still standing in ordered ranks in his day at Zone in Thrace. If they were arranged as if for dancing that would mean not in a stiff geometrical pattern, such as a square, triangle, or avenue, but in a curved one. Zone {'a woman's girdle'} suggests a round dance in honour of the 'goddess'..." [Page 141 'The White Goddess'].

Side note: "Rudiobus is a Celtic god^[1] known only from a single inscription, on a bronze figurine of a prancing horse: "sacred to the god Rudiobus". This figurine, from the 1st century BC, is one a group found at Neuvy-En-Sullias (Loiret). It may be an aspect of the Gaulish version of Mars, instead of an indigenous god.^[2] The hoard was discovered in 1861; the horse with the Rudiobus inscription is one meter high."

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].

Question. Abu Ruash - Egypt's most northern pyramid - A collapsed one. Built on a hill.

Analogy: {ie., as seen from a different perspective. A different time and place}: "My impressions of Dinas Emrys were surprising, as I had not expected much.

"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]. Try ''quality'' and/or ''grace'', i.e.,what does it imply? Then ''oracle''.

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.

"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].

''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.''

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.''

The present paper covers a whole range of epigraphic sources, which give insight into the procedure for appointment to cultic offices of key-holders, their tasks, and social background.''

Side note: ''But on the fourth Way knowledge is still more exact and perfect.....It must be noted that in addition to the legitimate ways, there are also artificial ways which give temporary results only....It also happens that the door to the fourth room is opened artificially with a skeleton key.

Refresher: The medium (that is the astro-mental sheath) in its natural state is volatile, immanifest, fantastic, irrational and impotent, compared with what it subsequently is able and by artificial conception suffers itself to become. The Alchemists, we repeat therefore, did not remain satisfied with a few passes of the hand or any first phenomena whatever, but they proceeded at once scientifically to purify, depriving the ether of its wild affections and impressures by a dissolution of the circulating body in its own blood. For this is the brazen Wall celebrated by Antiquity. Take the occult Nature, which is our Brass, says Albertus, and wash it that it may be pure and clean. ['The Philosophers Stone'].

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]

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 Touareg; endonym: Imuhaɣ/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 Algeria, Niger, Mali, 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."

There is no consensus as to when Proto-Afroasiatic was spoken.^[46] The absolute latest date for when Proto-Afroasiatic could have been extant is c. 4000 BCE, after which Egyptian and the Semitic languages are firmly attested. However, in all likelihood these languages began to diverge well before this hard boundary.^[68] The estimations offered by scholars as to when Proto-Afroasiatic was spoken vary widely, ranging from 18,000 BCE to 8,000 BCE.^[46] An estimate at the youngest end of this range still makes Afroasiatic the oldest proven language family.^[8] Contrasting proposals of an early emergence, Tom Güldemann has argued that less time may have been required for the divergence than is usually assumed, as it is possible for a language to rapidly restructure due to areal contact, with the evolution of Chadic (and likely also Omotic) serving as pertinent examples

Side step: Practical analogy..."Got to see it, rather than just read it..." John Humphrys talking to D. Tennant and Greg Doran in relation to the plays by W. Shakespeare. [400th anniversary. Radio 4. 23/04/16].

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 Anglican, Catholic, 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.

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.''

Barnhouse village was discovered in 1984 by archaeologist, Dr Colin Richards. 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."

"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].

Analogy?..."To recite the Iliad, from the anger of Achilles in the opening lines, to the close when Hector's body is taken back to Troy, takes some 24 hours - rather longer with dramatic embellishments. Committing the epic's more than 150,000 words to memory would be a formidable task even with the aid of the features described by Perry. It is hardly surprising that the mother of the Muses in Greek myth was said to be Mnemosyne - memory - from whose name the word 'mnemonics' is derived for the aid of memory training...It is

unlikely ever to be known exactly what techniques were used by the Homeric bards not only to remember the Iliad but also more than 115,000 words of the Odyssey...The poet Simonides of...

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.

AND/OR: Know, my son, that in the hen’s egg is the greatest proximity and relationship in nature; for in it there is a spirituality and conjunction of elements, and an earth which is golden in its tincture.....For the work begins from the vegetable, next from the animal, as in the egg of the hen, in which is the great support; and our earth is gold, of all which we make seriacum, which is the ferment Ixir.....The egg of the philosophers refers to the aura, the ovoid emanation exuding from and surrounding the astro-mental form. It is this shape which is the subject of the work. When brought to fulfilment, it glows and scintillates most brilliantly like some more than precious gem. ['The Philosophers Stone'].

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. Roberts].

Question. Was Pliny a member of any 'Mystery' club?

Followers of Anubis?

"Anubis (/əˈnjuːbɪs/;^[2] Ancient Greek: Ἄνουβις), also known as Inpu, Inpw, Jnpw, or Anpu in Ancient Egyptian (Coptic: ⲁⲛⲟⲩⲡ, romanized: Anoup), is the god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the underworld, in ancient Egyptian religion, usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head."

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).

A working example: ''Each day begins at six oclock, and each hour rises for a particular god or goddess, the KEYNOTE being struck in the very first hour called 'She who raises the Beauty of her lord'. This is the hour rising for the wisdom goddess, Maat, whom the king brings into the sun boat to guide the journey, proclaiming right at the outset his desire to establish HER way. All is veiled, however, in the secret region of the eastern lightland, where Re is still a gestating child, not yet born and still embraced by his 'mother,' a nourishing serpent mother no less, whose seven uraeus snakes {'kundalini'?} gather together his Ka power...In the Book of Day's first hour - beneath Nut's vulva - depicts the sun god within his mothers womb, which is shaped like a huge sun disk {'meridian' of the sun?}. Almost to small to see, located high on the tomb ceiling.....called the ''little Re''....'' [Page 19/20 'Hathors Alchemy: Egyptian Roots of the Hermetic Art' / A. Roberts].

And/or: "Cenacle: This is the place of the last supper. Where the Holy Spirit came down upon the Apostles at Pentecost, and where the first priests were ordained back in the Last Supper, where the Lord washed their feet. So much happened here - it is the place where he appeared to them when he was risen from the dead....came through the very walls. The longest prayer {John seventeen} is the Hour of Jesus - rightly called the Priestly Prayer - It sums up the whole economy of salvation and creation. It fulfils the great petitions of the 'Our Father'. So what is his hour? 'My hour has not yet come', he said to his mother in Cana of Galilee. But he spoke about his hour right here in the hour of his passion. The hour of salvations history. So he prayed to the father in this hour." [Day thirtyfive: Sacrificial Prayer / Cenacle-Jerusalem / Pilgrimage - lent 2024 ].

• Cana is best known for being the place where Jesus performed “the first of his signs,” turning water into wine at a wedding feast (John 2:1–11).

And/or: The Priestly Blessing or priestly benediction (Hebrew: ברכת כהנים; translit. birkat kohanim), also known in rabbinic literature as raising of the hands (Hebrew nesiat kapayim),^[1] rising to the platform (Hebrew aliyah ledukhan),^[2] dukhenen (Yiddish from the Hebrew word dukhan – platform – because the blessing is given from a raised rostrum), or duchening,^[3] is a Hebrew prayer recited by Kohanim (the Hebrew Priests, descendants of Aaron). The text of the blessing is found in Numbers 6:23–27.

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]}

A working example: ''Leo Minor is a small and faint constellation in the northern celestial hemisphere. Its name is Latin for "the smaller lion", in contrast to Leo, the larger lion. It lies between the larger and more recognizable Ursa Major to the north and Leo to the south. 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."

''Onwards the sun boat travels, towards the beckoning ARMS of Nut, the encompassing maternal embrace to which safely return at the close of day.

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.''

''We are what we eat'' Try ''taste'' {throughout} as a means?

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.

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. All emphasis, this readers - with the exception of text underlined].

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.

From a different perspective: "Like pile carpets, kilim have been produced since ancient times. The explorer Mark Aurel Stein found kilims dating to at least the fourth or fifth century CE in Hotan, China:

"As kilims are much less durable than rugs that have a pile to protect the warp and weft, it is not surprising that few of great age remain.... The weave is almost identical with that of modern kilims, and has about fourteen threads of warp and sixteen threads of weft to the inch. The pattern consists of narrow stripes of blue, green, brownish yellow, and red, containing very small geometric designs. With this one exception, so peculiarly preserved, there are probably very few over a century old."^[3]

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'].

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.

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.''

Doctors, masons, carpenters and experts in most professions." ['Curse of Oak Island' / Dec.2016].

Musicians?

''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.
