Polished 'stone' encased WITHIN limestone at the Serapeum of Saqqara. 24 or 25?

"in the symbolism of the 25th path the soul has to advance on the desert way, leaving behind the life of the outer and/or lower worlds; not yet conscious of the life of the inner and 'higher' worlds, invoking the inner light that will become a golden dawn in the darkness." [From the book 'The Christ, Psychotherapy and Magic' by A. Duncan. Emphasis , this readers].

Question. What would represent a ''golden dawn''? {and/or new cycle?}. Saturn/Aries?

Analogy of same {i.e.,in the 'Macro' sense of the 'Word'}..."Since that event, {'hindsight' link} Great Pan is changed. He is not dead. Were he dead then the earth itself would be dead, for the living Pan is the 'Planetary Being' {'archetypes link}, though the Planetary Being is by no means entirely described in the mythology and pagan conception of Pan..." Enlarged elsewhere.

Change of {pace?}...One of his other names; within those fifty; being 'Nibiru'. Explained elsewhere,i.e.,in relation to ''Gilgamesh''. Enlarged elsewhere. Can you see what the author {Sitchin} does not see.

As is the case with the author of 'The Synchronicity Key', believing Nibiru to be the brown dwarf in relation to the sun. Borrowing from Mr Sitchin hypothesis. As he does with the Mason term for the 'Midnight sun', believing it to be the same, the brown dwarf. The midnight sun as all know within this subject is a metaphor for a realization, by way of an understanding of those positive ['sun'] and negative ['moon'] aspects, within the overall framework and what they mean to each individual. An awareness dawns. Hence the link to Psalm 19 [xix]. Find it within.

Khonsu?

White or black?

An unbelievable feat of ancient architecture, The Wall of the Crow is 656 feet long, 32 feet high and 32 feet at the base. Standing near the Sphinx, this ancient wall was constructed in the 4th Dynasty of Egypt and the true purpose still remains unknown.

Side note: ''Midnight Sun'' in relation to:"...It will be the 'white' raven {south?} not the 'black' one, which will show the way....The white raven, magical, impossibly rare, unseen in common hours. 'Teacher, what does it mean?'....'Riddle me this Bear Cub,' Merlyn replied...." [Page 37 'Deeper Teachings of Merlyn' / D. Monroe]. Enlarged elsewhere.

And/or: ''We have been happy to bask in the light of the East and have forgotten to look for the light of the West.'' [Introduction : 'The Path Through the Labyrinth' / M. Green].

Side note: 'The wall of the Crow' that seperates the Giza plateau into N/S - in relation to the ''jagged'' right side of the Sphinx enclosure {'unbalanced'} as mentioned by Mark Lehner - as seen - when facing the Sphinx {face-to-face} looking towards the west. In relation to:

'Pattern'?

''Between the crushing walls of conformity and the 'done thing' and other people's opinions lies a cruel and jagged path along which he is forced to make his way, with no options; always striving to fit into someone else's stereotype - employee, parent, husband, student, son, worker or even religious follower. Although there may be choices along the way, no one has told him he is free to make them, to turn aside, to experiment with new alternatives, in life style, in religious pattern, in philosophy or relationships. These variations are hidden from him by a wall of ignorance, built of disinformation, cemented together with fear and superstition....he has to hack his way through the wilderness of opinions {'vines'?} or hearsay, and step forward alone, into the unknown.'' [Page 11 'The Path Through the Labyrinth'].

Left or right path?

Memnon.

Side step: ''Discover the awe-inspiring India Gate, a magnificent archway standing at the heart of New Delhi. Similar in style to the renowned Arc-de-Triumphe in France, this monumental structure pays tribute to the 70,000 Indian soldiers who bravely fought and sacrificed their lives for the British Army during World War I. Constructed by the Imperial War Graves Commission (IWCG) in 1917, under the guidance of the esteemed English architect Sir Edwin Lutyens, India Gate stands as a testament to the valor and heroism of those who served. Its foundation was laid by the Duke of Connaught, the third son of Queen Victoria, on February 10, 1921. A decade later, on February 12, 1931, Viceroy Lord Irwin officially inaugurated and dedicated the memorial to the nation and its future generations. The names of over 13,000 fallen soldiers from the war are inscribed on this solemn structure.''

An unbelievable feat of ancient architecture, The Wall of the Crow is 656 feet long, 32 feet high and 32 feet at the base. Standing near the Sphinx, this ancient wall was constructed in the 4th Dynasty of Egypt and the true purpose still remains unknown.

Continued: ''There is a massive, ancient stone wall that stands a few hundreds yards south of the Sphinx. But because it lay partially buried and overshadowed by the pyramids and Sphinx, tourists have hardly noticed it. Known locally as the Wall of the Crow (Heit el-Ghurab in Arabic) it is 200 meters (656 feet) long, ten meters (32.8 feet) high, and ten meters thick at the base.''

How many?

Something extra {'nuggets' to be found within a 'pattern' of words}: ''From beneath me arises the energy of the Earth, my home and foundation. From above me pours down the power of the Sun and the enchantment light of the Moon {'Aberfoyle'?}. To my right hand comes the strength to control and direct the arts of magic. To my left hand flows the skill to divine and heal, the source of blessing. Before me arises the Perfected one i strive to become {Sphinx'?}, my 'magical' true self. Behind me falls the one i was, and with it, all my discarded faults. Around me circle the eternal stars {five pointed?}, lamps of Wisdom in the deeps of space. Within me grows the Flame of Light the jewel of experience{'emerald'?}. On me and my world may blessing be.'' [Page 46 under the title 'A Self Blessing Ritual' from the book 'The Path Through the Labyrinth'].

''In this Hyperborean land was a circular temple of stone, dedicated to Apollo himself, to which he returned every nineteen years. This sounds very much like stonehenge, built upon calculations of the passage of the sun and planets and stars {Moon?}" [Taken from the book 'The Waters of the Gap' by R. Stewart]. Try ''19''.

Question. Does ''19'' 'teach' us something about the ''midnight sun''?

''Odds and evens is a simple game of chance and hand game, involving two people simultaneously revealing a number of fingers and winning or losing depending on whether they are odd or even, or alternatively involving one person picking up coins or other small objects and hiding them in their closed hand, while another player guesses whether they have an odd or even number. The game may be used to make a decision or played for fun.

The finger game is also known as swords, choosies, pick, odds-on poke, or bucking up.[1] This zero-sum game, a variation of the ancient morra and par-impar,[2] is played in Europe, the US, and in Brazil, especially among children.''

Question 2. What does ''Apollo'' represent?

Refresher: "Nineteen is the number of light, the existence of god proved by the idea of god." [Quote taken from chapter 19 entitled 'The stone of the Philosophers' from the book by E. Levi].

Wedding ring?

The term is a shortening of the term "duck's egg", the latter being used long before Test cricket began. When referring to the Prince of Wales' (the future Edward VII) score of nought on 17 July 1866, a contemporary newspaper wrote that the Prince "retired to the royal pavilion on a 'duck's egg' ".[2] The name is believed to come from the shape of the number "0" being similar to that of a duck's egg, as in the case of the American slang term "goose-egg" popular in baseball and the tennis term "love", derived – according to one theory – from French l'œuf ("the egg"). The Concise Oxford Dictionary still cites "duck's egg" as an alternative version of the term.[

Side note: ''In the original French roulette, the numbers 1 - thirtysix, had the zero and the "double zero". The zero was coloured red and also counted as "Pair" and "Manque"; the double zero was black and also counted as "Impair" and "Passe".

High bet / Passe: numbers NINETEEN - 36 (Passe is so named because it has "passed" the centrepoint).

If the ball fell into one of the two zero divisions, all lost stakes are taken by the bank but if the bet was matched by virtue of being Pair, Impair, Rouge, Noir, Passe or Manque, instead of being won, the stake was imprisoned until the next spin of the wheel. On that subsequent turn, the stake was either lost or if the ball matched the bet again, the stake was merely returned to the gambler without any profit.''

''Boudica's Way is a waymarked long-distance footpath in East Anglia, England, United Kingdom. It is 36-mile (58 km) in length and runs from Norwich to Diss, near the border with Suffolk, and follows close to Roman roads and passes through Caistor St. Edmund, a settlement tracing its roots to the Roman period.[1] Along its route, it also passes through the picturesque villages of Saxlingham Nethergate, Shotesham, and Pulham Market.''

''Like twentyseven, 36 has important arithmetical properties. Plutarch points out that it is a product of the first 2 perfect squares, 4 and 9, and at the same time, the sum of the first three cubic numbers, 1, 8, and 27. Furthermore, it can be regarded as a square number {6x6}, but also as a rectangular one {4x9}, and it is also the sum of its integers from 1 to 8. Thirtysix is connected to astronomy, as it is a mulitiple of twelve, and every zodiacal sign has three special aspects, known as the decans, which again total 36. In ancient Babylonia it was known that 36000 years made a full circle of the polar star.'' [Page 243 'Mystery of Numbers' / A. Schimmel].

A work in progress: ''That the Lion represents the constellation of 'Leo' cannot be doubted since the nineteen stars which are depicted on or near the body of the lion agree very nearly with the positions of the 19 stars assigned to this constellation in the so called Catasterisms of Eratosthenes.'' [Page 133 'Magi: The Quest for a Secret Tradition'].

“At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.”

''We are either going to be goats or hero's''

Isiah 19:19 ?

Goaty beard?

And/or: "Nineteen is, to begin with an incomplete 20, but is also a sacred number in the near East. In ancient Egypt the 'Book of the Dead' mentions the 19 limbs of the body, each of which had a 'deity' of its own; by adding the deity connected with the whole body to them, the sacred 20 was attained. For medieval exegetes in the West, 19 combined: the 12 zodiac signs with the 7 planets. In the Islamic tradition however, this number corresponds to the numerical value of the word 'wahid' - ''One.'' ...Astronomically speaking, 19 is connected with the so called Metonic cycle: every 19 years, all the phases of the waxing and waning moon fall on the same days of the week during the whole solar year." [Extract from the book 'Mystery of Numbers' - entitled 'The Number of the Metonic Cycle'. Emphasis, this readers].

A work in progress: '';My heart my mother begins with a return - the return of the fiery serpent eye goddess, Hathor-Sekhmet, in the aftermath of king Akhenaten's religious revolution....Its primary focus is the 19th Dynasty...a profound time of change...'' [First page, first paragraph 'My Heart, My Mother: Death and Rebirth in Ancient Egypt' / A. Roberts].

Mutus Liber speaks?

Continued: That 'awareness' is experienced differently by each individual. From an unknown to a known. From 'dark' to 'light'. That third "companion star" that the author identifies with the brown dwarf, [chapter 21 of same book, i.e., 'The Synchronistic Key'], is in fact the combination of what the sun/moon represent within this subject of which the 'masons' are part of, i.e.,"sun/moon" = an awareness = midnight sun,i.e.,light from the dark, by way of what the 'law of one' [same book] call...'harvest'. By way of the ''minds eye.'' Recall what both eyes are represented by. Explained elsewhere.

Wednesday's child. Left foot - Right hand?

"To have 'access' to each of the upper levels, the initiatic work comes with a natural or controlled transfer of the acquired knowledge. To have access to the 'planes above' ours is of interest, but we must strain to stay there in a durable way each time we foray there....

Buddha's hand.

This is how we can harvest the necessary information on our Path [i.,e.,link to the word ''teacher''. What this author defines - by way of - the small and Great King. Enlarged elsewhere. This readers input]. As with our behavior on this earth, we must strive towards a flexibility that will facilitate our ''harvesting''. It will be easier for us to direct our work of 'self creation' when informed. We remind you that this takes place only when we are incarnated, not when we leave the earth." [Extract taken from the book by J. Dubuis].

Link to the definition and true understanding of the concept of ''incarnation'' in relation to ''reincarnation''. Enlarged elsewhere. Understanding that universal framework by way of an objective exercise makes sense of it. Gives it an empirical frame to work on - in order to understand the 'bits' in relation to the 'whole'.

'On Having No Head: Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious' / D. E. Harding.

Analogy of same..."The moon represents another process - an alchemical one - which you will encounter if you follow on from the Crucible to later work. This process i wont discuss yet. At present though, from the view point of Malkuth, the 'moon' is a cyclical process, returning many times over to show us what we need to learn from what is presently unknown or rejected by us - the Shadow."

Together with... "...the opening of the knowledge of the masculine and feminine potencies necessary unto the manifestation of all things" Think on it relative to ''twin'' symbolism,i.e.,shadow/anima...

More/less light?

Male/female. Which and why? Approaching from behind or in front?

Continued..."This is common in all forms of initiation. I liken it to a great light approaching us from behind. Whilst this light approaches, all we see is a shadow getting bigger and bigger, until we turn to face the light and step into it, when the shadow simply vanishes." [All three paragraphs from the book 'The Magister'].

Understanding those three paragraphs not only indicates an inner understanding to the subject as a whole but gives clues as to the 'likely' location of a burial site.

''The lengthened shadow of man is history''.

"...you will harvest only after having tilled the earth, only after having sown, and only after having waited for the time when the 'fruit' will be ripe for harvesting." [Extract from the book by Tomberg].

Question. Horn of plenty? Try 'Apollo'' {'human' form of same principle?}.

As a side note...The READERS Way {and/or 4th way?} works just as well as the 'ritual' one. That integration and/or ''connectedness?'' is universal - it has many paths. The RESULT of which is the same. The BEGINNING of a 'journey'. Horizontal/vertical link. Can you by now 'see' it?

'Connectedness' in relation to the word and {intent?} of the word ''grace''. Benefit of.

"These forms in letters and pictures and images are the means by which truths may be brought to the attention of the unripe mind." [Extract taken from the 'introduction' to the book by F. Hartman]. Try ''fruit of'' and ''plough''. Before asking those bigger questions.

"...the 'nails' of objectivity - which give conscience to thought." The symbol of which is the Crown of Thorns, i.e.,"The 'thorns' of the crown center function as the 'nails' of objectivity..." [Taken from 'letter 5' from within the book by Tomberg].

That same 'harvesting' that is represented in number symbolism with 'fifteen'. Enlarged elsewhere. What this author [J. Dubuis] defines finally as ''the Great Experience''.

And others as the 'Son Of'.

'A Spiritual Awakening'... "...and saying these things, i slept, and i saw a certain sacrificing priest standing before me and over the altar which had the form of a bowl. And that altar had fifteen steps going up to it. Then the priest stood up and i heard from above a voice say to me, 'I have completed the descent of the 15 steps and the ascent of the steps of light. And it is the sacrificing priest who renews me, casting off the bodies coarseness, and, consecrated by necessity, i have become a spirit." [Extract from 'The Magister'].

"Equilibrium is the basis of the soul = the beginning of a spiritual rebirth." Quote by I. Regardie from the book 'The Eye of the Triangle'].

Summer triangle?

'Spirit' in relation to 'Soul'. Equilibrium in relation to ''foundations''. Represented in the form of a mountain? {'mound'?}. Question. Which comes first - Spirit or Soul? Think about it - in relation to the 15 {'16'?} steps that descend into the tomb of Tut. Question. Who was he the 'Son of'? The first of something? Representational of ?

Side note: Some say 16 steps. Either way a 'meaning' can be got. A symbolic one. Inner rather than external. Esoteric/Exoteric. Agnostic/Gnostic. That ''duality'' again ALL as a means.…?

Question. If a correct count how would ''15'' be represented within the concept of a circle?

''Fifteen minutes'' and ''quarter'' used throughout in the {story?} - by the author - of the book 'The Serpent of Light Beyond 2012'. Coincidence or a meaningful one?

'Ascend' = S/E ?

'Mans Search for Meaning' / Viktor Frankl.

''In Rugby Union the full back traditionally wears the number fifteen shirt.'' ['Lightening'].

Side note: "Ascendant: Term is properly applied to the degree of the tropical zodiac arising on the eastern horizon of a horoscope chart, or indeed to the degree rising over the eastern horizon...The word is also sometimes applied to the degree {3 degrees?} of a constellation arising on the eastern horizon on such a chart, though it is usual to distinguish the constellation ascendant from the tropical. The ascendant for the San Miniato horoscope is in constellational Taurus." ['The Secret Zodiac'].

Question. Any 'ascendant' examples in the Egyptian sense of same principle?

Continued: Represented in Hermetic/Christian symbolism with the Rose {'animate'} AND the Cross {'inanimate'}? Question. Pure fable - a convoluted one?

"This suggests why the Pythagoreans placed number at the origin of all things. So great was there reverence that they swore their oath on the divine tetractys, or sacred triangle, established quite simply on the natural sequence of numbers, 1+2+3+4=10: Nine strokes grouped around the incomprehensible One. This originating triangle is illustrated by the Great Ennead of Heliopolis. Similarly, the unexpected switch from nine to fifteen entities or 'aspects' of Amun-Re in his temple at Karnak, Thebes, reflects the Pentactys: Twelve strokes encircling the divine creative triangle {i.e.,12+3} - and representing this triangle manifested." [Extract from the book 'Egyptian Mysteries' by L. Lamy. Emphasis, this readers].

Side note: ''Mark’s simple statement teaches us a profound lesson: “…the women had followed him and cared for his needs” (Mk 15:41). The few or many months she was able to care for Jesus‘s needs were sufficient to forge a faithful follower.  Depth of friendship and commitment trump length of time in this case.  As she followed Jesus, perhaps she also discovered the rich gift of her feminine genius at the service of her newly found mission. Differing traditions dispute the association of Mary of Bethany with Mary of Magdala, but the grateful and loving feminine spirit shines through both Marys.'' ['Magdala / Israel'].

As seen from a different perspective; but still in the manifested sense of the word {intention?}: "In ancient Roman religion, a flamen was a priest assigned to one of fifteen deities with official cults during the Roman Republic. The most important three were the flamines maiores (or "major priests"), who served the three chief Roman gods of the Archaic Triad. The remaining twelve {12+3} were the flamines minores ("lesser priests"). Two of the minores cultivated deities whose names are now unknown; among the others are deities about whom little is known other than the name. During the Imperial era, the cult of a deified emperor (divus) also had a flamen. The fifteen Republican flamens were part of the Pontifical College which administered state-sponsored religion..." Enlarged elsewhere. Try ''flamen''.

Analogy {from a different perspective}: "In a far more sophisticated treatment of the grades, preserved within the Masonic brotherhoods, a series of initiation titles, ranging from the 'apprentice' through the 'secret master', the 'Elu of the Fifteen', and into the 'master of the Royal secret' have been listed...Such titles and grades should remind us that initiation is itself a series of 'initiations' into Lessor mysteries which eventually lead to an overview of the Greater mystery." ['The Zelator'].

''In some ways the mystery of Stonehenge will not be solved - but every theory gets us that little bit closer." {enlarged elsewhere}. No mention of the significance of what a river represents within ANY program on same - other than the obvious, i.e.,''we know from all the mythologies around the world that water is a very important part of that journey - from the world of the living to that of the dead." CAN YOU 'SEE' WHAT THEY CANT YET SEE? -HAVE NOT YET EVEN CONSIDERED. Question. Can it also be the reason why ''that particular stretch of rolling Salisbury plain'' WAS CHOSEN IN THE FIRST PLACE? i.e., is there any larger ''bend'' along that rivers FULL length?

Representing something ''unknown'' {''aspects'' of} to becoming ''known'' { ''manifested''}. Represented as ''numbers''. It also implies a direction - and therefore a question. What does that imply? Clue. Thebes = just before the lip {beginning?} of a u-turn {''top/down''} AND/OR the {end?} of that same u-turn {''bottom/up''}. Question. What does that imply? ALSO...12+3? What does it imply? Clue. That ''sacred triangle'' {i.e.,''ten''} together with the ''eleventh hour'' and ''high noon'' = ? Add that answer to those universal ''three'' concepts - or more importantly - what they IMPLY. That link to the Zodiac - its true meaning and purpose {and construction?} - and also to the understanding {answer?} - if the above has been understood - to 'its' missing 13th sign.

The Hebrews represented that same {concept?} THAT same {principle?} with those 12 stones in the sacred 'breastplate' together with what Urim and Thummim represent, i.e.,fate - positive and/or negative. One way or the other- depending on the individual.

A working example: "Heart or reason, no matter! They are ruled by the stars. My instincts, my nature, my body...all is determined by number, by the stars, forces whose plaything i am. Why give us the illusion that our heart is master? My heart is a puppet, a slave, like all else, of fate..." Continued elsewhere. Try ''heart or reason''.

Side note. Gold plate {lozenge?} found on the chest {heart?} of the male skeleton within 'Bush Barrow' - south of Stonehenge. Enlarged elsewhere.

And/or: ''Two skeletons found buried in a pit {rubbish?}. One was the skeleton of a young woman, around twenty years old, who was laid in her grave in a crouched position, lying on her right side. Two large, lozenge shaped quern stones had been placed lying over her upper body. The second body was that of an older woman {30-45 years} - placed on top of the younger woman. Some bones from two children also found around the feet of the older woman.'' [Page 154 'The Celts' / A. Roberts].

Something hinted at: "Let them all die so, all who do such things. But my heart breaks for Odysseus, that seasoned veteran cursed by fate so long - far from his loved ones still, he suffers torments off on a wave washed island, and there a goddess makes her home, a daughter of Atlas, wicked Titan who sounds the deep in all its depths, whose shoulders lift on high the colossal pillars thrusting earth and sky apart. Atlas daughter it is, who holds Odysseus captive, luckless man - despite his tears, forever trying to spellbound his heart with suave, seductive words and wipe all thought of Ithica from his mind."

Ridge pole?

Together with... "And young Telemachus cautiously replied, 'I'll try, my friend, to give you a frank answer. Mother has always told me i'm his son, its true, but i'm not so certain. Who, on his own, has ever really known who gave him life? Would to god i'd been the son of a happy man whom old age overtook in the midst of his possessions! Now, think of the most unlucky mortal ever born - since you ask me, yes, they say i am his son."

Refresher: "Deneb was of unlucky influence in astrology, portending misfortune and disgrace, and thus opposed to Regulus in character as in position in the figure..."

And/or: "The planet 'Jupiter' called the ''greater fortune'' is complementary to Venus the ''lessor fortune'', just as the direction West is complementary to East. West is the place of the sunset, and it consequently represents the completion of enterprises, just as East symbolises their beginnings. A man is said to be 'successful' when he has all the details of his enterprise in his ''grasp'' {Kaph}….The old astrologers held that Jupiter's influence in the horoscope does not become strong until after middle life, when the sun of personal existence has passed noon zenith and is moving towards 'Wealth' and 'Poverty'; these are the extremes of worldly fortune, the outward and visible signs of a means 'grasp' of circumstances. When Jupiter is well-aspected in a horoscope that grasp is strong. When it is ill-aspected that grasp is weak." [Page 92 of the book by P. F. Case. Vol 1].

Side note: "..divinatory astrology, consisted of tables which delineated the 'lucky' from the 'unlucky' times of day. For this practice the day was divided into three periods: from sunrise to noon was under the realm of Khepri the renewed Sun; noon to sunset was dedicated to Ra the maturing Sun {heliacal rising?}, and sunset to midnight was given to Atum the 'hidden' Sun {Karnak?}...A simple and practical method of determining auspicious times." [From the book by R. Clark].

Synchronistic link? And/or: ''Dark night of Soul'' = Karnak link?

Continued: Question. Why should the 'father' who had ''plundered the hallowed heights of Troy'' be so cursed by fate? Clue. N/W in relation to S/W - 'Father' {top/down} in relation to 'Son' {bottom/up} as a means...? i.e.,along the way a 'connection' has to be made {'son of' ? } for his 'fortune' {reversal of?} - to change {S/E?}.

Understand that stories {method?} in reverse order to define each chapters {keys/signs?} in their proper sequence of {events?}. Similar to the Hebrew Tree.

Lucky horseshoe?

Recall what the horse represents. 'Book 12: The Cattle of The Son'. 'Cattle' in relation to the 'Strait of Ithica' - all as a means...?

Side note: "...such as can make the vines of Khonsu flourish extra-ordinarily as well as the magnificent cattle of Amon {Amun}. Enlarged elsewhere.

cross2

Mid-point = Cross-over point = 90 degrees?

N/W Turkey in relation to S/W Greece? Therefore 90 degrees symbolism? {i.e.,N/W, S/W}. ''Ford Makers'' link?

From a different perspective... Royston - the mid point - where two ancient roads cross over - 'Peddars Way' and the Great North Road. A Christian cave found in 1742 - As Tony Robinson says ''Still a mystery.''

And/or: "England's high-cross monument and the throne-stone of the Isle of Man, symbolically situated at the 'peak' of the Milky Way {authors hypothesis}, belong to a larger tradition found all over England and Europe, where we find many monuments like these in old market squares and at important crossroads. But where did this practice come from?" ['Galactic Alignment'].

A work in progress: ''Constellations have more to do with patterns...Fixed {static?} patterns that stay in the same pattern night after night....that all civilizations have noticed throughout history. In order to navigate the night sky. Chinese astronomers saw a monkey, a snake and a dragon. Native Americans saw a beaver, an owl and a wolf. The Aztecs saw practical things from their every day lives. They called the Pleiades  'The market place' and Orions belt and sword they SAW it as a 'fire drill'...'' ['Ancient Skies' S1 EP1].

''Sparking a fire with a fire drill was the most important feature of the great New Fire ceremony that took place every 52 {fiftytwo} years. Not only did it literally ignite a new period of time and space in the Aztec world, it was a powerful symbol of fertilisation, reproduction and creation in general.''

Side note: "Seal Stones are made according to the type of stone that they are made from. There are two major types of stone. Hard and soft. The soft stones like soap stone can be 'scratched' with a penknife very easily. The more aristocratic stones needs abrasion - they cannot be carved, and the Mycenaean's had nothing harder than Bronze. Sand has to be used as an abrasion tool. We have depictions of the type of tool used on Roman tomb stones. It comes in the form of a bow - a piece of string/rope attached to two ends of wood. A sharped stick is then used in the middle of the bow string as a type of rotating drill. After many hours etched lines are created {'sculptured/engraved'?} in the stone. Then its polished to a fine smooth surface. Then comes the hard part - drilling a string hole through it." [Professor John Younger: 'Odysseus Returns' / S1 EP1].

Continued: ''The deserted Roman town of Venta Icenorum, literally Market Place of the Iceni, lies in a shallow vale of the Tas at Caistor St Edmund, a couple of miles upstream from the tri-confluence of the Wensum, Tas, and Yare rivers. This conflux of navigable waters, flowing east towards the rising sun and draining into the vast coastal inlet now occupied by the Norfolk Broads, must have been a place of significance to the Iceni. It represents both a junction of inland river routes coming in from the four corners of the tribal territory at their junction with the sea, and a merging or blurring of the perceived spiritual presences embodied by the water - the name of the pan-Celtic diety Condatis literally means 'where the waters meet'....''

''Condatis (Gaulish: 'confluence') was an ancient Celtic deity worshipped primarily in northern Britain but also in Gaul. [1] He was associated with the confluences of rivers, in particular within County Durham in the North of England. [a] Condatis is known from several inscriptions in Britain and a single inscription found at Alonnes, Sarthe, France. In each case he is equated with the Roman god Mars....The theonym Condatis derives from the stem condāt-, meaning 'confluence', itself from Proto-Celtic *kom-dati-, from an earlier kom-dhh1-ti- ('put with, put together', i.e. 'grouping, reunion').''

It is regarded as one of the most significant works of theological fiction in English literature and a progenitor of the narrative aspect of Christian media.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It has been translated into more than 200 languages and has never been out of print.[7][8] It appeared in Dutch in 1681, in German in 1703 and in Swedish in 1727. The first North American edition was issued in 1681.[9] It has also been cited as the first novel written in English.[10] According to literary editor Robert McCrum, "there's no book in English, apart from the Bible, to equal Bunyan's masterpiece for the range of its readership, or its influence on writers as diverse as William HogarthC. S. LewisNathaniel HawthorneHerman MelvilleCharles DickensLouisa May AlcottGeorge Bernard ShawWilliam ThackerayCharlotte BronteMark TwainJohn Steinbeck and Enid Blyton."[11][12] The words on which the hymn "To be a Pilgrim" is based, come from the novel."

Continued: ''The Domitian square is a partially excavated area near the Temple of Domitian, from which the square takes its name. From the center of the Square, visitors can easily see the Memmius Monument and the Pollio Fountain which flank either side.

The square would have been a busy area and a center of commerce in ancient times. The crowded corner leads to important temples, agora and administration buildings as well as to meeting places. Some columns have been unearthed and are believed to have belonged to the buildings surrounding the area.

Charbagh gardens.

On the Agora side of the square much of the excavation has been completed. Several small vaulted buildings that would have been used as shops are clearly visible. Ephesus has a higher volume of shops than most Roman cities, which gives archaeologists evidence of the city’s wealth and vast oversea trade. The square also houses a two story building made of large squared calcareous stone blocks. The second story of the building opens up onto the Agora. Archeologists have not yet discovered the purpose of this building.

'Arrow' heads found. Masonic?

On the road from the Prythaneion to Domitian Square visitors will find a number of pedestals adorned with figures of gods and goddesses. Two of the most well-known figures that can be seen are the god Hermes, herald of the gods and protector of herds, and Nike, the winged goddess of victory. God Hermes holds the horns of a ram with one hand and a caduceus (a symbol of his) with the other. Nike has her wings spread with a knitted crown of olive leaves which symbolizing victory in one hand and a palm tree branch, symbolizing the fruits of victory in her other hand. The purpose of these pedestals and figures along the road is not known yet.''

Gap? Place of Emergence?

And/or: ''Before me were two trails passing westward through the gap of the mountains. On the right was the rough narrow path, with the cactus and coiled snakes {'asleep'?}, and filled with miserable Two-Hearts making very slow and painful progress. On the left was the fine, smooth highway with no person in sight, since everyone had sped along so swiftly {swallows/sparrows?}. I took it, passed many ruins and deserted houses, reached the mountain, entered a narrow valley, and crossed through the gap {another one?} to the other side. Soon i came to a great canyon where my journey seemed to end; and i stood there on the rim wondering what to do.'' [Pages 238-40 'The Orion Zone' / G. A. David].

"When the Great Experience happens for the first time, there is an effect of surprise such that it hinders the harvesting of even the smallest element of information concerning the passage of the invisible worlds. On the other hand, the repetition of this Experience makes this ''return'' familiar and a more precise knowledge of the different space times is progressively produced."

"In Mazdean {Zoroastrian} cosmology Ohrmazd 'created' the world for the very purpose of 'annihilating evil', and so cosmology and eschatology are indistinguishable. Limited or finite, eschatological Time is created in order for the struggle to take place. This inaugurates the conception of a linear, purposive time, {micro?} rather than primordial time of cyclical mythologies {macro?}. Time is linear {'first step of ladder' link. Enlarged elsewhere} - in so far - as the events which occur in it, take their meaning from the sequence of their occurrence. Ohrmazd is originally finite since he is delimited by his opposite, Ahriman...Over time Mazdean orthodoxy progressively hardened the dualism between the powers of Ohrmazd and Ahriman. This was opposed by Zervanite theology, which seems to have developed under the Arsacids, although how widespread this became is not known. In Zervanism, both Ohrmazd {'good', positive, etc.,} and Ahriman {'bad' negative etc.,} are sons of Zervan, a figure who can be dated back as the Achaemenid period. Zervan is referred to as both 'Time' and 'Space' so that 'speculations on time-space as the common source of the two principles of Good and Evil, were familiar to the Iranians'.

"This is the most complex level to grasp in creation. It is the level where creation manifests itself. It is there that the energy takes its Matter-Spirit, time-space aspect." [Same author, i.e. ,J. Dubuis].

To understand fully what is being put forward, understand [in this case - in relation to the Hebrew Tree of Life] numbers that represent 1-3 in relation to the remainder of the same 'Tree'. Of which that 'void' is the border line between the two. Its middle component. A necessary one.

"Graffiti" (usually both singular and plural) and the rare singular form "graffito" are from the Italian word graffiato ("scratched").[6][1][2] The term "graffiti" is used in art history for works of art produced by scratching a design into a surface. A related term is "sgraffito",[7] which involves scratching through one layer of pigment to reveal another beneath it. This technique was primarily used by potters who would glaze their wares and then scratch a design into them. In ancient times graffiti were carved on walls with a sharp object, although sometimes chalk or coal were used. The word originates from Greek γράφεινgraphein—meaning "to write."

A fan - or a prediction?

A work in progress: ''For the very first time, physicists have created and detected high-energy "ghost particles" inside the world's largest atom smasher. The findings could help unlock the secrets of how stars go supernova. The tiny particles, known as neutrinos, were spotted by the FASER neutrino detector at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) — the world's largest particle accelerator, located at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) near Geneva, Switzerland. Neutrinos earn their spectral nickname because their non-existent electrical charge and almost zero mass means they barely interact with other types of matter. True to their ghostly moniker, neutrinos fly through regular matter at close to the speed of light. The physicists presented their results (opens in new tab) at the 57th Rencontres de Moriond Electroweak Interactions and Unified Theories conference in La Thuile, Italy on March nineteen{th}.

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

Every second, about 100 billion neutrinos pass through each square centimeter of your body. The tiny particles are everywhere — produced in the nuclear fire of stars, in enormous supernova explosions, by cosmic rays and radioactive decay, and in particle accelerators and nuclear reactors on Earth. In fact, neutrinos, which were first discovered zipping out from a nuclear reactor in nineteen fiftysix {1956}, are second only to photons as the most abundant subatomic particles in the universe. But the neutrinos arriving to us from the sun are just one small slice of the ghost particles out there. On the other end of the energy spectrum are the high-energy neutrinos produced in gigantic supernova explosions and in particle showers when deep-space particles slam into Earth's atmosphere. These high-energy ghosts have remained a mystery to scientists until now. These very high-energy neutrinos in the LHC are important for understanding really exciting observations in particle astrophysics." ['Live Science' / 2023].

Khentiamenti, the earthly govenor of the area, assumed the form of Osiris as a shadowy, mirror image of the celestial power with which he was associated. But more importantly, Abydos as the ''head'' of the terrestrial body of Osiris represented the place where the neter's form spread itself northward over the Nile." [From the book by Rosemary Clark].

Further information to evaluate correctly will be found in Jonathan Blacks book 'The Sacred History, Chapter 23, entitled 'The Sun at Midnight']. Together with... "Now as the fall reached its deepest, darkest point {'Cancer'?} the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ marked the beginning of the ascent." [Chapter 22, same book].

'The Sun at Midnight' / Bernardo Oliera, Ocso.

Use the 'find' facility to understand 'fall'. And 'its' relationship to a 'u - turn'. What others call ''the dark night of the soul.'' Found within. Then try ''23''. Alchemy defines that same process as ''Putrefaction.''

The twins are born to Judah and Tamar, the product of an incestuous relationship between a father and his daughter-in-law, whom he thinks is a prostitute (another story omitted from kids’ Bibles). Judah will become the tribe of kings, so it matters greatly which twin gets the inheritance. During childbirth, one brother’s hand emerges first, and a scarlet thread is tied around his wrist to confirm that he is the heir. But when he withdraws his hand, his brother barges past and is born first. The line-jumper is named Perez, which means breach or breakthrough. The one with the scarlet cord is called Zerah, which means dawn or rising. In those two names is found the heart of the gospel.

"The sudden breakthrough of light and imagination that follows Putrefaction is the most inspired part of alchemy. During this phase of true Fermentation, the alchemists felt they were looking on a whole new level of reality...The 'Peacocks Tail' that appears in the laboratory to mark this stage represents the activation of the dawn of the True Imagination, a world of light in the realm of pure mind. Alchemists called it the ''true'' imagination to differentiate it from mere fantasy or idle daydreaming..."

"Another interesting symbol, which later became a prime emblem of Northern Ireland, is the red hand....A myth descibes a race in which the first to reach land would win the throne {'House'} of Ulster. A certain prince called O'Neil was losing the race but cut off his hand and threw it to the shore, ensuring his hand touched land first. {Page 143 'Scota: Egyptian Queen of the Scots' / R. Ellis].

"Fermentation is like a mystical or religious experience for most people, and it can even take the form of psychedelic or paranormal experiences. It occurs whenever we confront the tremendous power of the transpersonal or spiritual realm.[Link to Matter-Spirit quote above].

This can be an overwhelming experience in which we temporary loose our balance and have to readjust to the real world. What we need is objectivity, a distilling of the experience. That is exactly what Distillation means on the psychological level." Therefore {a description} of the mechanics of a working process ? OR would that be a ''work in progress?'' Alchemy's equivalent on those those two universal principles. Understanding that universal framework defines the above paragraphs. It gives them plausibility. A possible one - before we ask ourselves that bigger question - fact or fiction - a possibility or not?

''The best day of my life - my rebirth day, so to speak - was when I found I had no head. This is not a literally gambit, a witticism designed to arouse interest at any cost. I mean it in all seriousness. I have no head. It was when I was 33 that I made the discovery, though it certainly came out of the blue, it did so in response to an urgent inquiry - I had for several months been absorbed in the question: What am I?....What actually happened was something absurdly simple and unspectacular: just for the moment I stopped thinking. Reason and imagination and all mental chatter died down. For once words really failed me. I forgot my name, my humanness, my thingness, ALL that could be called me or mine. Past and future dropped away. It was if I been born in that instant, brand new, mindless, innocent of all memories, there existed only the Now, that present moment that was clearly given in it. To look was enough....It took me no time at all to notice that this nothing, this hole where a head should have been was no ordinary vacancy {void?} no mere nothing. On the contrary, it was very much occupied...." [Chapter one entitled 'The True Seeing' from the book 'On Having No Head'].

Finally compare above to {i.e.,as an objective exercise}..."In the early Gilgamesh tale of the Sumerians, Gilgamesh and his fifty proto-Argonauts have some connection with a ship called the Magan-boat. It should be remembered that Magan is the Sumerian name for Egypt. Hence the boat is connected to Egypt. All the Greek Argonauts were related to one another and more or less anonymous as individuals....reminiscent of the earlier Sumerian 'fifty heros' accompanying Gilgamesh and also the 'fifty great gods', known as Anunnaki. Professor Cyrus Gordon has written an important book on common origins of Greek and Hebrew cultures from the Egyptian-Sumerian milieu of the ancient world.... The 'fifty great gods' of sumer, the Anunnaki are invariably seated. Sacred oarsmen or Argonauts are all... seated while they are rowing. 'The fifty who sit' and the 'fifty who sit and row' seem to be a motif. The other element, besides the eye in the Osiris name hieroglyph, is the throne, which is the hieroglyph for Isis as well. The throne is a 'divine' seat. The Sumerians frequently intoned of the Anunnaki that they were, 'they who are seated on their thrones". [Chapter four. 'The Sirius Mystery'].

''Fifty, the enlarged fortynine, is associated with the jubilee year {Lev. 25:10}, when feud and hatred were to cease in expression of the great Sabbath of creation. But it has other meanings as well. Since the 50th psalm contains a complaint about its authors sins, for example, 50 is considered in allegorical exegesis as an expression of repentance and forgiveness: for the Ten Commandments are not always easy to obey for persons endowed with 'five' senses {10 x 5 = 50}. It also plays an important role in the decimal system....It is an indefinite 'round number' in the Greek and Irish traditions {i.e., 50 Nereids, 50 sons of Priam, 50 cows of Helios or the 50 pigs Eumaios}. In Irish folklore 3x50 = the great round number....On the practical side, 50 was the age after which men were no longer required to perform military service in ancient Rome.''

"Ships have long been said to plough the sea, and ploughs to sail the earth. In a variant of the same ancient metaphor the modern French faucher le grand pre for sailing is literally to reap, or to mow, the big field; the reapers too leave a wake behind them. The German lexicographer Max Miller, last century, related 'oar' to a root by which it means 'as it were the plough-share of the water'; he added that the English word plough, the Slavonic ploug, has been identified with the Sanskrit plava...and with the Greek ploion = ship."

''Founded as a polis by the name Antioch of Hippos (Ἀντιόχεια τοῦ Ἵππου) during the Seleucids, the city is named after the Greek language word for horse, Hippos, and a common name of Seleucid monarchs, Antiochus. In the 3rd-century Mosaic of Rehob, the site is known by its Aramaic name, Sussita (Hebrew: סוסיתא‎), a word meaning "horse" in the feminine gender, while the Arabic name, Qal'at al-Hisn or Husn, has been used by the country's Arab inhabitants, meaning, "Fortress of the Horse/Stallion". Other names include the alternate spelling Hippus (Accusative Hippum), a Latinized version of the Greek name. The precise reason why the city received this name is unknown.'' [ Wiki].

Hippo's - overlooking the Sea of Galilee - A ''narrow stretch of land'' { + flat top} - from where the Jesus chap ''walked on water'' before continuing his 'journey' in a boat/ship.

Side step: Neil Oliver speculates in series 1 of 'The Vikings' about stones in the shape of a large ship. Understanding this subject gets us closer to a mind set.

State emblem of Mongolia.

Question. What would the remedy be?

Together with..."Above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a Throne...and on the likeness of the Throne, was the likeness of the appearance of a man upon it from above. [Ezekiel 1:26]. Here we have the next two levels, first that of the Throne, and then that of the 'man' upon the Throne." [Page 36, chapter 2, 'Meditation and the Bible by A. Kaplan].

That link to the 'son of' something. Compare to height of the supporting 'backs' of all three 'thrones' of those representing the Giza 'Plateau'. 'Full' in relation to 'half',[another indication of Khufu's 'status']. An 'awareness' now made in relation to one 'in progress'...which would support the individual on the next leg of the 'journey'. [N.B..Plateau indicative of a borderline] .

Sacha Dench.

Notice if the 'quarry pit' below, was filled with water the 'head' of same would appear above that water line. Link to 'godhead' [its true representation], and therefore; in part; to the Primordial mound, at the 'base' of the pyramid, i.e.,Macro and Micro equivalent. That familiar subject again, Egyptian equivalent, as well as the "higher of the lower", [its physical representation]. Think about it in relation to 'cross' symbolism, [explained within]. Especially in relation to its 'nightly' representation...the Northern Cross. "Sadr [gamma Cygni] being the center point of the cross, and also the 'breast' of the celestial swan." [page 125, chapter eleven, 'The Cygnus Mystery']. 'Heart' and 'cross' symbolism. Getting it?

''The swan is white without spot''.

"...........he treads the Royal path on which the Soul, dying to self, rising again in Self, knows the Eternal Swan and, having known, crosses beyond all death." [Chapter 9, 'The Yoga of the Bhagavat Gita']. Put ''swan'' in the box.

Seahenge. 'Y'? An inverse of something.

Side note: ''Often a source of confusion is that the terms specific gravity, and less often specific weight, are also used for relative density. A common symbol for specific weight is γ, the Greek letter Gamma.''

''Gamma /ˈɡæmə/[1] (uppercase Γ, lowercase γ; Greek: γάμμα gámma) is the third letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 3. In Ancient Greek, the letter gamma represented a voiced velar stop IPA: [ɡ]. In Modern Greek, this letter represents either a voiced velar fricative IPA: [ɣ] or a voiced palatal fricative IPA: [ʝ] (while /g/ in foreign words is instead commonly transcribed as γκ).''

Question. Would the 'pit' be filled up 'accidentally', i.e., weather or deliberately, i.e.,'New year' festivities and/or Sed Jubilees. If the later, what effect would that have on the surrounding stonework? Answer within such works as 'Meditations on the Tarot', as well as 'The Temple in/off Man' / Schwaller de Lubicz. The most recent example being the speculation and hypothesis; of the same; by the author of 'The Sirius Mystery'. Chapter one, and/or 'The Sphinx Mystery'. Same author, but take note, this subject, [and therefore its authors] once again, predates ''modern'' speculation of same 'concepts'. Proving; at least; the viability of the subject. That 'subject' that 'began'; at the dawn of human kind..."before the written word came into common use."

Seven is itself one of those archetypes.The seven ’hand palms’ of ancient Egypt that equaled one Royal Cubit. That link to the ‘Royal Way’ as well as the word ‘Astronomy’. Look it up.

A {working?} example - the very first one? "The siege of Troy may be a war between mortals, but almost half the Iliad is occupied with the quarrelling of the gods and their interference in the affairs of man. It is not suggested that the pantheon of gods who, with their associated religious rituals, thrived after the demise of Cronus had no function in Homeric society other than to act as astronomical icons. Nor is it likely that Homer merely hijacked the gods from their mythic and religious environments to suit the astronomical purpose of the Iliad. Rather, myth and religion - two powerful elements in the structure of ancient societies - were intertwined with the age old practical but also mysteries science of astronomy." ['Homer's Secret Iliad'].

A working example: "Invoking the Ancient Scribes of Egypt is a compilation of such stories, from multiple storytellers who undertook a single journey through the beautiful land of Egypt as well as through the landscape of their own memories. Nineteen travellers, pilgrims on a sacred journey in October 2009, contributed to the writing of this book, this collection of stories. At each sacred site in Egypt that we travelled to, we confronted an aspect of ourselves where we told the stories—whether fact or fiction—that had brought us there. We offered them up to each other and to the temple gods and goddesses as the divine jewels that they were and are......We were nineteen people in all (eighteen women and one man}." ['Invoking the Scribes of Ancient Egypt' / N. Ellis + G. T. Brown].

Five o'clock shadow?

Beginning or end?

AND/OR: Periodically in ancient Egypt, the pharaoh underwent a rite of passage called the Heb-Sed Festival, which was a ritual process of life review and of dying a ritual death in order to realign one’s self to Source. The purpose of the renewal rite was shamanic reintegration of life experience into wisdom. In the House of Life inside the Temple of Horus at Edfu you may find the image of Seshet carved upon the wall; she guards the niches where the religious scrolls were kept. Their titles are written on those walls. In one spot, an etching calls out the sacred chapter of one of the Books of the Dead: “The Secret of Osiris Becoming Re.” It is the book of how to turn darkness into light, how to turn death consciousness into life consciousness....That text was kept on papyrus scrolls in the library room at the Temple of Horus at Edfu....This book was designed to resemble, in a fashion, the process by which ancient scribes wrote the Book of Coming Forth by Day for their patrons. Some patrons wanted long funerary scrolls.... [same].

Something to ponder on: "A few of these differences between the mediaeval and modern astrologies will emerge in the following study, but i should perhaps comment immediately on the extraordinary fact that my researches in San Miniato indicate that without a shadow of a doubt the 13th century astrologers concerned with this zodiac used what is nowadays called the constellational zodiac. It is quite possible that they used this 'zodiac of the stars' only for symbolic purposes - for example...the temple lore of the ancient mystery wisdom. It is quite certain...they also made use of the tropical zodiac in their divinatory arts, or judgmental astrology - even so, the significance of the use of 'constellation' material has not been sufficiently remarked by either astrologers or historians...which requires we look again at the symbolic intent of churches, cathedrals etc...If the constellation zodiac were so important in the mediaeval period, then the Arabic star-lore, with its specific interpretation of the fixed stars, is part and parcel of mediaeval church symbolism..." ['The Secret Zodiac: The Hidden Art in Mediaeval Astrology' / F. Gettings].

Question. Which would Homer use?

"It is also of interest that the name of Flegetanis, who divined the history of the Grail in the stars, is based on the Arabic word 'falakiyatu,' [astronomy] or 'falakiyatum [astronomer]." [From the book, 'Alexandria.' Vol 1, by D. Fideler].

The ''summer'' triangle. What about the ''winter'' one? Do the ''two'' go together?

Side note: "Once the validity of linking geographical land areas to constellations had been established, the way was open for long forgotten knowledge to be garnered from the remaining regiments..." ['Homer's Secret Iliad']. Coincidence or something else?

The number seven symbolic of that ‘development’ within the overall journey as indicated by the significance of that ‘number’ to St Augustine...and such authors as S. Gooch. In his book. ’The dream culture of the Neanderthals’. Those Chakras were sometimes shown with seven rather than five ‘stages’. Figuratively speaking of course. No such stages/ ‘centers’ exist internally. Literal license only. Symbolic in fact. ['The Chakras' by C. Leadbeater].

If it is only symbolism, then the real question is....Why go to all this effort?

"It is important to understand that these centers are not physical in nature and position- though there are parallels with our physical organs and glands. These 'organs' exist in a subtler emotional or psychic or spiritual part of our nature. We may even consider them, not as realities themselves, but as symbols of realities- great, redeeming, and saving symbols." [Chapter 2, 'The Art of True Healing' by Israel Regardie].

'Twentyone' segments?

From a different perspective: ''Twentyone is connected with perfection, since it is the product of the sacred numbers seven and three.'' ['Mystery of Numbers'].

A working example: ''The name Jason is a typically masculine name that is believed to have Greek and Hebrew origins. Jason is a classic and traditional Greek name. In Greek, the name means “healer.” This is from the Greek word “iaomai” which means “to heal.” The origin of the name can also be traced to Greek mythology.

The story goes that Jason, a great Thessalian hero, led the Argonauts, a band of heroes in Greek mythology, on a quest for the Golden Fleece, in order to get back the throne from his Uncle Pelias, who overthrew Jason’s father as the king of Ilocos. Jason also married Medea, a sorceress who helped him get the Golden Fleece and take back from his uncle what was originally his.''

Glastonbury Tor.Roofless. ''The Celtic name of the Tor was Ynys Wydryn, or sometimes Ynys Gutrin, meaning 'Isle of Glass'. At this time[when?] the plain was flooded, the isle becoming a peninsula at low tide.''

And/or: ''In the outer world, Christian Rosenkreutz is a Brother of the Red-Rosie Cross, while in the domain of the Castle he becomes a Knight of the Golden Fleece, and later, after the successful ascent of the Tower, he is made a Knight of the Golden Stone. Thus he undergoes 'three' levels of initiation each corresponding to one of the three domains of the allegory.'' [Page 86 Commentary {Mclean} on 'The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosenkeutz' / Kindle].

'Seven' segments each X 3 = 21?

A different perspective: ''In the underworld the gateways into transforation are sealed by the divine presence of goddesses, sentries, guardians and messengers whose names define the lessons one must 'learn' in order to pass through to the next stage of initiation....The twentyone goddesses who attend the doorways of death are linked with the seven Hathors, goddesses of life who attend birth and bestow ones fate. The twentyone are but triple aspects of those same seven.'' [Page 366 'Dreams of Isis' ].

UPSIDE DOWN EMBLEM?: ''Full of wisdom and insight....that leads to answers, and the answers are the essence of the world's wisdom teachings....When the heart awakens, the person is transformed.''['The Quest of the Rose: Book 1: The Cosmic Keys of Our Future Becoming' / A. Smitsman and J. Houston]. Recall the missing heart of Tut. Question. Individual or planetary 'awakening'?

Hence the link to such statements as: "These traditions represent the Milky Way as the Great Roadway into the center or the end of the world - the ''end'' is the prelude to a new beginning and is thus equivalent to the source or center. Here we encounter an intriguing idea, essential for understanding the impact of precessional ages on humanity: Time does not move ''up and down'' {as in forward progress vs. backward regress}; rather, it moves us - in and out - of intimacy with our source and center." ['Galactic Alignment']. Try ''mandala''.

'Arachne Rising: The Search for the Thirteenth Sign of the Zodiac' / J. Vogh.

Understanding what they all imply by that most common of all words {keys} within this subject makes sense of the above - if only in the Micro sense of the 'word'. Its Macro understanding implied by a 'direction'. Parapsychologists however, refer to the same; in a round about way; to the 'Pineal gland'. What some have called the 'seat of the soul', [chapter three. 'The Source Files'. D. Wilcock]. Think about it, in relation to 'seat/throne' symbolism.

Understanding this subject in full [the above book touches on certain aspects, of amongst others, Freemasonry, Hermetic texts and Zoroastrianism], gives a 'framework' to that books 'overview'. A framework to that 'garment'.[Key]. Or depending on ones point of view- a garment to that framework.

"...nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known." [Matthew X, 26]. "...symbols are not obstacles that must be eliminated in order to arrive at knowledge of the truth, but rather means for receiving 'revelation'. The "clothes" - the symbols - of truth are for each not what hides it, but rather what reveals it." [Extract from the book by Tomberg].

"O children of Adam. Indeed, we have given you garments to cover your 'nakedness',[key] and as a thing of beauty;...but the garment of god-consciousness is the best of all. This is one of gods messages....that human beings might take it to heart". [Quran 7:26]

"In Burnt Norton, of the Four Quartets, T.S. Elliot visualizes the lotus rising quietly, its surface glistening out of the heart of light. There is a play on the double meaning [as noun and verb] in the word rose. The seven flower chakras are each composed of light, but in this context the 'heart of light' is a direct reference to the heart chakra, or anahata.".........

"The 'flower' which is the key to modern Spiritual development is the ajna, the chakra located between the eyes. This flower is dual lobed, which is why in some literature, it is described as having two petals. It is said to be presided over by the hakini."[Bibliographic notes to chapter 5, 'The Zelator'. Mentioned elsewhere].

Head-feet?

"Wisdom is a flower from which the bee its honey makes and the spider poison, each according to its own nature." [Chapter 2, 'Alchemists Handbook' by F. Albertus].

'And/or: 'Saxifraga is the largest genus in the family Saxifragaceae, containing about 465 species of holarctic perennial plants, known as saxifrages[2] or rockfoils.[3] The Latin word saxifraga means literally "stone-breaker", from Latin saxum ("rock" or "stone") + frangere ("to break"). It is usually thought to indicate a medicinal use for treatment of urinary calculi (known as kidney or bladder stones), rather than breaking rocks apart.''

Put those 'keys' in the usual box to understand that 'connectedness' - if only, in order, to define a subject. "The fruit of the Underworld Tree is only poisonous in its untransmuted state." [Chapter 4, 'The Underworld Initiation' by R. Stewart]. That link to the difference in 'meaning' to ''incarnation'' and ''reincarnation,'' IF only in relation to this subject. Use the usual box.

''Untransmuted'' in relation to Unmanifested or ineffable?

'Hair of the Dog'? {Anubis?}.

Side note: ''The most poisonous fish in the world is the stonefish.'' ['The Chase'].

Angry or laughing ''Eyes'' ?

A working example ? {in the 'spiritual' sense of the word}: "Our fourth struggle is against the demon of anger. We must, with gods help, eradicate his deadly poison from the depths of our souls. So long as he dwells in our hearts and blinds the eyes of the heart with his sombre disorders, we can neither discriminate what is for our good, nor achieve spiritual knowledge, nor fulfil our good intentions, nor participate in true life; and therefore our intellect will remain impervious to the contemplation of the true, 'divine light'; for it is written, 'For my eye is troubled because of anger' {Ps. 6:7. LXX}. Nor will we share in divine wisdom even though we are deemed wise by all men, for it is written: 'Anger lodges in the 'bosom' of fools' {Eccles. 7:9}..." ['The Philokalia' / G.E.H. Palmer etc. Emphasis, this readers].

That divine word again - what does it represent?

And/or: "You must understand that i am giving you an outline. You must remember that both yawning and laughter are very contagious. This shows that they are essentially functions of the instinctive and 'moving' centers."...'Why is laughter so pleasant?' someone asked. '...''Because G. answered, ''laughter relieves us of superfluous energy, which, if it remained unused, might become negative, that is, poison. We always have plenty of this poison in us. Laughter is the antidote. But this antidote is necessary only so long as we are unable to use all the energy for useful work. It is said of Christ that he never laughed. And indeed you will find in the Gospels no indication or mention of the fact that at any time Christ laughed. But there are different ways of not laughing. There are people who do not laugh because they are completely immersed in negative emotions, in malice, in fear, in hatred, in suspicion. And there may be others who do not laugh because they cannot have negative emotions. Understand one thing. In the higher centers there can be no laughter, because in higher centers there is no division, and no 'yes' or 'no'. " ['In Search of the Miraculous']. Try ''yes'' / ''no''.

Try the title of the book to 'see' it in its broader {universal?} context.

'Prince' link? ''Widening'' to enlarge.

"The spider and the moon will concern us still further. But one more poetic image in conclusion. Ariadne, the moon goddess who helped Theseus with the thread, is also the Celtic moon goddess Arianrhod. Arianrhod is known as 'the Lady of the Silver Wheel'. Her title is usually held to be a reference not just to Spiral Castle but also to the disc of the moon. These are, of course, opposite. But is her title perhaps rather a reference to the silver spider's web, heavy with dew in the morning mist." [Chapter 6, 'Cities of Dreams' by S. Gooch].

''Dew'' one of this subjects key words. A link to the 'philosophers' stone. From something 'unredeemed' to being 'redeemed'. Spider and bee its two main symbols [early stages of]. The web of which as indicated in the same book is constructed both clockwise and counter clockwise, from its center. All indicative of those different universal principles, [i.e., framework]. Which the author; if only for this reader; cannot 'see' due his single minded obsession over twenty years - linking the origin of all known 'mysteries' to Neanderthal man - and his knowledge of moon symbolism, [only]. But because of all that well researched data - allows others to 'see'.

Center or 'Off center'? A centering within?

Rosa Louise McCauley Parks.

"...Think well: the physical is the end result of spiritual forces. Therefore to seek the source of those 'spiritual' forces, the Ariadne's thread, to lead you through the psychic astral maze, must be anchored in the forms of earth {Memphis/Abydos}. These physical forms are reflections of a spiritual reality. They are reflections of the ultimate truth beyond form. Look well into the mirror of nature to see the reflection of the spiritual stars." [Extract from the book ' The Rose Cross and the Goddess: The Quest for the Eternal Feminine Principle'. Emphasis, this readers].

Magritte - 'The Key to Dreams'. Rene Magritte said ''It is a union that suggests the essential mystery of the world. Art for me is not an end in itself, but a means in evoking that mystery." [https://alexanderstorey.wordpress.com].

Tail clockwise? Head anti-clockwise?

A {practical?} example...Take a rod or peg to hold a stable center, and from it extend a cord. Start if you wish with the cord enwrapped round the rod as if drawing spun thread from around a spindle. Proceed, in a clockwise direction, to unwind the cord. You will find that you mark or trace out a spiral dance that culminates in a circle. Thus you are re-enacting the primal creation. Do this many times, fully aware of the significance of what you are doing. You will thus learn much of your spiritual origin and the principles of creation. Merely to read of it is to miss the experience. You cannot travel to market without stirring your feet. You cannot experience reality from the pages of a book. The pages can guide your feet. But it is up to your feet to follow. Intellectual curiosity and impatience are no substitute for patient plodding behind the plough {plow}...The first time you perform this exercise you will be preoccupied by physical problems and distractions. With persistence you will find that you can perform it with your inner faculties to the fore, aware of the profound significance of the pattern which you trace. Early man spent much time and effort carving spiral symbols on rock. You will be much rewarded by spending a fraction of his time and effort carving these same symbols upon your consciousness...These props will not be necessary after a time. You will later tread the spiral and circular path from an imaginary point. It is no less real because it is fixed only in the imagination. But initial grounding in the physical is important." [Extract from the book 'The Rose Cross and the Goddess' by G. Knight].

Found on Oak island. Freemasons associated with it.

The above an example of what is mostly done {enacted?} within the so called ''Mystery clubs.'' Proving the viability of a studious approach - a CONSISTENT one; over many years; as proven by the study of ANY subject; and not just through one book because of ''intellectual curiosity'' - because it gives the same results,i.e.,an understanding {as in the above example} of why neolithic man spent much time carving on ''rocks'' such universal symbols as the ''spiral." Recall what ''rocks'' represent. Then try ''plough.''

Neolithic equivalent - 'spiral' forms created within such monuments as Newgrange {Macro} and/or on single rocks {Micro} as seen within the program 'A History of Ancient Britain' narrated by N. Oliver. All enlarged elsewhere.

Finally link all the above to... "...Crowley once said that the magician's sole aim was to interpret his own 'magical' record, and after many years, i have come to agree with him." [Extract from the book 'The Magister'].

''Interpretation'' in relation to what they experience in their personal day to day wakeful state {lucid dreaming?} and nightly one AFTER enacting such activities {the mythology stories mainly and/or the four compass points in relation to other symbols that represent N/S/E/W etc}. Which they then record; which sooner or later enters in the public domain. Regardless even by Mr Knights suggestion; within the same book; that not all is explained. The bits that are not; can be worked out by 'negation'.  All symbols are connected in one form or another. Some are more connected than others. Others need 'more' to interpret their deeper meaning; especially when 'individuality' is brought into account - or more importantly - when it becomes part {primary/secondary?} of the total equation. Just as in physics {especially the deliberate coming together of protons} - whats not there is sometimes more ''telling'' than what is, i.e.,relative to the 'observer'. Understanding that universal framework ESPECIALLY in relation to what ALL imply by the ''divine bit'' gives all the above a certain credibility to it. A credibility that can be worked out - by objective analysis.

Other 'things' that can be worked out - using the above again as {one} example...''Clockwise = unwind'' - therefore anticlockwise = wind = return symbolism = precession = etc etc. Or would that be vise versa?

And/or: Chair of Lethe in relation to ''negation''.

Egyptian equivalent = rolled/UNrolled papyrus.  'See' the link between ''spiral'' and horizontal/vertical symbolism.

Question. What is 'papyrus' used for? Try ''Beech'' to 'see' it from a different perspective.

Refresher: ''Glory be to him who brought together the nearest of the near and the farthest of the far.''

"We cultivate it, the sage replied, when we encourage the craftsmen to put quality first in the smallest piece of work, when we awaken in our students a consciousness of the relations that link the things of this Earth with 'Heaven', in general when we formulate the laws of analogy, and finally when by representations of the Neters and by symbolism of letters we describe the functions and qualities of Nature. A man who will learn by this symbolism quickly becomes open-hearted...That is why ideas, which you call non-material, are represented by concrete objects. But the sign you spoke of shows a papyrus rolled and sealed; the eye doesn't see its contents. One is to look for the hidden meaning, which often calls for the intelligence of the heart." ['Her-Bak'].

comic4A working? example {i.e.,a work in progress}..."Typical lodge meetings consist of enacting a series of short plays that contain a moral message and encourage personal insight and understanding. All of this is contained in a complicated story involving the building of Solomon's Temple...I soon came to realize that there was a considerable difference between my understanding, based on what i had been taught at school and through religious teachings, and what had apparently happened based on historical records. In particular, it is what has been left out, deliberately or otherwise, that distorts the imagery. It is what we are not told that colours our perceptions. When one is aware of the intervening facts, a new angle {key} on events is presented." {K. Gest}. Enlarged elsewhere. Try ''method'' and ''angle''.

N.B. ''Negation'' = 'The Cloud of Unknowing' ?

Analogy..."In Kings 8:10-11, we find a curious comment. It is related to the dedication of the temple when the Ark of the Covenant was carried into the holy of holies and placed beneath the outstretched wings of the cherubim. The text reads: 'And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the lord, so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the lord filled the house of the lord." Some interpretations of this text suggest that the 'glory of the lord' was a bright light signifying the lords presence..." [From the book by K. Gest].

Try ''cherubim''.

''Cloud'' in relation to something 'unknown'. ''Glory'' in relation to 'grace'.

And/or: The narrator Neil Oliver within the program 'A History of Ancient Britain' {4th series - 'Age of Bronze'} - surmises why such items as the Dover boat {'oldest surviving sea going vessel in the world' } and sword like implements {i.e.,'rapier'} were broken deliberately before being {discarded?} into sacred bogs or rivers - ''to appease the gods."

And/or: Eight log boats found in the fenlands of S/E England {River Nene}. Thousands more speculated on. Speculation about ''water burial's'' - due the possibility of a connection between swords/spears/boats and bones and the ''marshes and wetlands'' that are MOSTLY associated with them. Alice Roberts unsure about such speculation ''Most burial's on dry land such as stone and crouch burials, rather than burial's in water.'' ''Archaeology boundaries'' mentioned to such possibilities.

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.

"...certainly once the mystical Sword of the Word is broken into pieces, nothing less than the quest of a Galahad {i.e.,in relation to the word Gnosis?} is needed to reunite them.

"The story that Illich tell of the phenomenology of the text is perhaps only one way in which the connection to the Word may be lost. In whatever form it takes, the loss of connection between the external, {i.e., exoteric} public form of the Book and the meaning hidden within it gives rise to a drama common to all the religions of {each} 'Book'. If the true meaning of the Book is the interior meaning, hidden under the literal appearance, from the moment that men fail to recognise or refuse this interior meaning; from that moment they destroy the integrity of the 'Word', of the Logos; and then begins the drama of the Lost Speech. From the moment we refuse the interiority of the text or of the world, then the world is turned inside out. The task of hermeneutics is to recover this living, integral Word and, through this, to make possible the 'Event at the edge of the exoteric cosmos' which is the Great Inversion."

In 5067BC the cosmos was moving towards the next stage of its human {conscious} evolution - as the sun entered the sign of Gemini. Just as, earlier, the impulse for the evolution of humankind had moved eastwards from the drowning Atlantis to India - now it began to move westwards, as it continues to do today.''

Analogy {i.e.,something hinted at again}: "Discarding of course, all the mythical explanations of the Lost Pleiad, I would notice some of the modern and serious attempts at an elucidation of the supposed phenomenon. Doctor Charles Anthon considered it founded solely upon the imagination, and not upon any accurate observation in antiquity. Jenson thinks that as a favourite object in Babylonia, the astronomers attached to it, with no regard to exactitude, there number of perfection or completeness - the number seven...The Greeks less favourably situated, finding only six....invented the story of the 'missing' sister. Riccioli, however, propounded a theory - which I have nowhere found elsewhere - that the seventh and missing Pleiad may have been a nova {supernova?} appearing before that number was recorded by observers but extinguished around the date of the Trojan War; this last idea accounting for the association of Electra with the lost one...As the spectrum of this star {Pleione} shows the bright lines of hydrogen like that of P Cygni, Pickering suggests that it may similarly have had a temporary brilliance and thus be the lost Pleiad..."

Trooping the Colour is a military parade that involves the seven army regiments that serve the queen1The ceremony sees the colour (name for a regimental flag) paraded in front of assembled troops, overseen by the monarch1The ceremony is an old one, where a battalion would fall in by companies and the colour-party would "troop" or march the colours through the ranks so that every man would see that the colours were intact2This was done before and after every battle. The ceremony has been retained through time and is today largely ceremonial.

Wednesday's child.

From a different perspective: "We have been discussing the different forms of prayer: blessing, adoration, thanksgiving, praise, intercession, petition. But where does all this prayer come from. Where is its source? Where's the water that's going to spring up from within? Like we talked about at Ash Wednesday? Its the holy spirit itself. Now i remember walking up in the northern parts of the Holy Land, and its a place called Dam. Abraham went there....lots of water in the form of springs that literally spring forth from the earth. The holy spirit being a wellspring, like an underwater river or big lake. The heart of the Trinity....This is where we have to go to "sit next to the water" {'right hand of god'?}. This is where the source is...."Where the life of the Trinity exits in order to drink from it - to enable something from within to spring forth."

"The sacred scripture and the liturgy of the church are such wellsprings. Liturgy means public worship by a group. There's something called Liturgy of the Hours. A divine way of working. The work of god that we are jumping into. There's seven hours plus one. Seven being the perfect number. Eight being a link to Beatitude. 8th day of the week - resurrection.

And/or: The monastic rule drawn up by Benedict of Nursia (c. 480 – c. 547) distinguishes between the seven daytime canonical hours of lauds (dawn), prime (sunrise), terce (mid-morning), sext (midday), none (mid-afternoon), Vespers (sunset), compline (retiring) and the night-time canonical hour of vigil. It links the seven daytime offices with Psalm 118/119:164, "Seven times a day I praise you for your righteous rules";[34] and the one nighttime office with Psalm 118/119:62, "At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your righteous rules",[35][36][37]

In this reckoning, the one nocturnal office, together with Lauds and Vespers, are the three major hours, the other five are the minor or little hours.[38][39][40]

According to Dwight E. Vogel,[41] Daniel James Lula[42] and Elizabeth Moore[43] the diurnal offices are TerceSext, and Nones, which are distinguished from the major hours of MatinsLauds and Vespers and from the nighttime hours of Compline and Vigil.

A work in progress: ''Follow the line of the Great Stretcher up to karariwari. The star that does not move. The CHIEF star {North star}....And the three stars in Orions belt we call Rahurahki, the deer. When they all point straight down that's south. Over there Cupiriktaka, Evening star West. And there Hupirikucu, Morning star East, give or take a little.'' ['The English' {26 minutes} / S1 EP5 / BBC].

N.B. From the viewpoint of Colorado on the Wyoming BORDER.

And/or: Most American Indian tribes used the stars as indicators of the time for seasonal ceremonies and their position when they were traveling across the land, but only one tribe was called the Star People. These were the Pawnee. Their oldest traditions assert that their people came from the southwestern U.S., where they would have had contact with Indians from Central and South America. From there, they traveled east to the Mississippi River and settled near the Red River. In this area, they became part of the Caddoan tribes, who called them 'Awahi,' the Star People. The term 'Caddo' meant 'true chiefs,' and these people were descendents of the Mound Builders, who worshipped the Serpent and the Star. The Star that fell to earth was represented by a secret fire. The Caddo, as well as the early Pawnee, may have been influenced in their stellar cosmology by the more southern tribes, including the Maya.''

And/or: ''One of the most iconic figures of the Old West, who spent time in Livingston and Bozeman during her notorious life, is Calamity Jane. How Martha Jane Canary acquired her provocative nickname is a matter of speculation, but the most plausible account has the city editor of the Cheyenne Daily Sun bestowing the moniker for her reputation of getting into trouble.

There’s a constellation in the sky that can relate.

Look north on fall evenings after dark, and you’ll find the equally iconic figure of the Big Dipper swinging low above the horizon. Follow its Pointer Stars (the two stars of the bowl farthest from the handle) up to the North Star and beyond, and you’ll find another familiar starry shape in the sky:  the “W” of Cassiopeia the queen (though personally, I think it looks like an “M”).

Folded or UNfolded? Any 'gap'?

The five-star shape is often seen as outlining the chair on which the queen sits, but it is perhaps better seen as a Ferris Wheel seat than a throne, for as the sky turns, we can watch the queen go round and round the central spoke of the North Star.

Easter bonnet.

This actually fits with her story—but a calamitous queen was not the only thing seen in these stars. Every culture had its own opinion. The Pawnee saw here the south end of a rabbit heading north, for example, with the stars marking the bunny haunches and tail. The Snohomish people saw the skin of a giant elk; the stars marked the holes punched in the pelt when it was staked out to dry. Arabs saw the hump of a great camel, Laplanders a moose antler, Marshall Island natives the tail of a great dolphin. And the Siberian Chukchee saw a small herd of five reindeer in the sky.

To the Chinese, the stars marked Wang Liang, a famous charioteer of their own iconic past. Arabs additionally saw a female hand anointed with henna to protect it against the desert heat—and some in the Middle East called the pattern “The Lady in the Chair,” bringing us back to the ill-fated Cassiopeia.''

The tail end of the ''stinger'' = two swimming ducks. What are duck feathers made into?

Side note: "A warren is a network of interconnected burrows, dug by rabbitsDomestic warrens are artificial, enclosed establishments of animal husbandry dedicated to the raising of rabbits for meat and fur. The term evolved from the medieval Anglo-Norman concept of free warren, which had been, essentially, the equivalent of a hunting license for a given woodland....The cunicularia of the monasteries may have more closely resembled hutches or pens, than the open enclosures with specialized structures which the domestic warren eventually became. Such an enclosure or close was called a cony-garth, or sometimes conegarconeygree or "bury" (from "burrow").....

In a different form.

The most characteristic structure of the "cony-garth" ("rabbit-yard")[1] is the pillow mound. These were "pillow-like", oblong mounds with flat tops, frequently described as being "cigar-shaped", and sometimes arranged like the letter ⟨E⟩ or into more extensive, interconnected rows. Often these were provided with pre-built, stone-lined tunnels. The preferred orientation was on a gentle slope, with the arms extending downhill, to facilitate drainage. The soil needed to be soft, to accommodate further burrowing.[2]

This type of architecture and animal husbandry has become obsolete, but numerous pillow mounds are still to be found in Britain, some of them maintained by English Heritage, with the greatest density being found on Dartmoor."

'Freedom' to enlarge.

free warren—often simply warren—is a type  of franchise or privilege conveyed by a sovereign in medieval England to an English subject, promising to hold them harmless for killing game of certain species within a stipulated area, usually a wood or small forest. The sovereign involved might be either the monarch or a marcher lord....

''Heart of oak are our ships, heart of oak are our men.''

The Mediaeval Latin form of the word warenna was used in legal documents such as Magna Carta.[citation needed] In addition, the office of warden is used for the overseer of a warren....The most cited authority on forest lawJohn Manwood, cites these beasts of warren..."The beasts and fouls of Warren are these, The Hare, the Cony, the Pheasant, and the Partridge, and none other..... However, Manwood is mistaken in his assignments, since the roe deer was transferred to "beast of warren" from "beast of the forest" in the fourteenth century.[7] Roe deer are still found within woodlands named "Warren" in contemporary England.....

The 1911 Encyclopedia adds roewoodcockquailrail and heron to Manwood's list.[8] On the other hand, grouse are not birds of warren.[9] Fox, wolf, cat, badger, and squirrel are sometimes also added....Sometimes domestic swine are mistakenly thought to be beasts of warren, due the right of pannage."

And/or: Partridges become so deeply absorbed in their dance that even if a man comes up close and kills some of the dancers the rest continue undeterred; a habit of which the ancients took full advantage. In the mating-season they used to put a decoy cock-partridge in a cage at the end of a long narrow winding brushwood tunnel and gave it corn to eat. Its lonely cry, combining the call to love with the call to food, attracted the hens along the tunnel, and when they reached the cage and it uttered its usual challenge call, other cocks would come running up, only to be knocked on the head with sticks by the waiting hunters as soon as they emerged from the tunnel. Thus in / Samuel, XXVI, 20 Saul is taunted for his unkingly behaviour in hunting David, who is not only as insignificant as a flea but as easily caught as a mountain partridge. The decoy partridge was one that had dislocated its leg in trying to escape from the horse-hair slip-knot in which it was snared. This lame, and therefore easily tamed, decoy was fattened in a cage like a sacred king in his palace—both honoured prisoners—and the more numerous its victims, the more gleeful its cry. In Ecclesiasticus (XI, 36) the caged partridge is an allegory of the proud man who rejoices at the disasters into which he has decoyed his neighbours. This form of sport is still practised in Mediterranean countries as far west as Majorca....

Which one represents 'lame'?

It seems, then, that in the pesach a bull-cult had been superimposed on a partridge cult; and that the Minotaur to whom youths and maidens (from Athens and elsewhere) were sacrificed had once represented the decoy partridge in the middle of a brushwood maze, towards which the others were lured for their death dance....

Long necked crane.

He was, in fact, the centre of a ritual performance, originally honouring the Moon-goddess, the lascivious henpartridge, who at Athens and in parts of Crete was the mother and lover of the Sun-hero Talus. But the dance of the hobbling cock-partridge was later transformed into one honouring the Moon-goddess Pasiphae, the cow in heat, mother and lover of the Sun-hero, the bull-headed Minos. Thus the spirally-danced Troy-game (called the 'Crane Dance' in Delos because it was adapted there to the cult of the Moon-goddess as Crane) had the same origin as the pesach. [Page 328/9 'The White Goddess'].

Side note: "In Greek mythology, Glaucus /ˈɡlɔːkəs/ (Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος Glaukos means "greyish blue" or "bluish green" and "glimmering") was a Cretan prince as the son of King Minos. Glaucus' mother was Queen Pasiphaë, daughter of Helios, and thus, brother to Acacallis, Ariadne, Androgeus, Deucalion, Phaedra, Xenodice, and Catreus.

One day, while playing with a ball[1] or chasing a mouse[2] Glaucus fell into a jar of honey and died. Unable to find their son, his parents went to the Oracle at Delphi who told them "A marvelous creature has been born amongst you: whoever finds the true likeness for this creature will also find the child." They interpreted this to refer to a newborn calf in Minos' herd. Three times a day, the calf changed color from white to red to black. Polyidus (or Asclepius, god of medicine) observed the similarity to the ripening of the fruit of the mulberry plant, and Minos sent him to find Glaucus."

long or short? Made from within the bowels of the earth?

From a different perspective: {in the abstract SENSE of the word}: ''She was silent for a while as she reviewed the whole journey, which had seemed so terribly LONG and in some places cruelly difficult and even impossible. She thought of the altars which she had built along the way; at the time she had stood with Him {the Shepherd} at the trysting-place in the Valley, when He had called her to follow Him to the Heights. She remembered the walk to the foot of the mountains {eastern ones?}; the first meeting with Suffering and Sorrow and of learning to accept their help. She recalled the shock of what had seemed such a heart-breaking detour down into the desert, and of the things she had seen there. Then their journey along the shores of Loneliness; the empty cove which the sea had filled to the brim; and then the agony of disappointment and frustration experienced in the wilderness when the path had once again turned away from the High Places. She remembered crossing the great sea-wall, walking through the woods and valleys until the rapturous moment when the path had turned back towards the mountains.''

Side note: ''Pharos was a small island located on the western edge of the Nile Delta. In 332 BC Alexander the Great founded the city of Alexandria on an isthmus opposite Pharos. Alexandria and Pharos were later connected by a mole[6] spanning more than 1,200 metres (0.75 miles), which was called the Heptastadion ("seven stadia"—a stadion was a Greek unit of length measuring approximately 180 m). The etymology of “Pharos” is uncertain. The word became generalized in modern Greek (φάρος ‘fáros’), and was borrowed by Italian (‘faro’) and French (‘phare’).

Stag and deer.

The east side of the mole became the Great Harbour, now an open bay; on the west side lay the port of Eunostos, with its inner basin Kibotos now vastly enlarged to form the modern harbour. Today's city development lying between the present Grand Square and the modern Ras el-Tin quarter is built on the silt which gradually widened and obliterated this mole. The Ras el-Tin promontory, where Ras el-Tin Palace was built in the 19th century, represents all that is left of the island of Pharos,[7] the site of the lighthouse at its eastern point having been weathered away by the sea. The lighthouse was constructed in the third century BC. After Alexander the Great died, the first Ptolemy (Ptolemy I Soter) declared himself king in 305 BC, and commissioned its construction shortly thereafter. The building was finished during the reign of his son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, and took twelve years to complete at a total cost of 800 talents of silver.[8] The light was produced by a furnace at the top, and the tower was said to have been built mostly with solid blocks of limestone and granite. In his encyclopedic manuscript Geographica, Strabo, who visited Alexandria in the late first century BC, reported that Sostratus of Cnidus had a dedication to the "Saviour Gods" inscribed in metal letters on the lighthouse.''

And/or: {something hinted at}: ''Ten thousand is the upper limit in the decimal series. In China,10000 years means immortality, and the 10,000 things are everything that exists. When the Germans speak of the Obere Zehntausend {the upper 10,000} however, thet are referring to an exactly defined social elite....Lately there have been attempts to establish relations between these enormous numbers and those used in modern physics, but nothing concrete has been established. We cannot lose ourselves in such speculations. Humans have tried to solve the mystery of numbers for millennia. As the architect Le Corbusier tells us: 'Behind the WALL, the 'gods' play. They play with numbers of which the Universe is made up.'' [' The Mystery of Numbers' / A. Schimmel].

Continued: ''The antiquity of the Egyptian ritual of the “stretching of the cord” can be traced back to the 1st Dynasty, although the possibility that it was even older can not be absolutely discarded. Right up until the latest representations of the ceremony, which date to the Roman period, one goddess always appeared in it: Seshat. The iconography of the ritual retained throughout several features that are present in the earliest scene known, dating to king Khasekhemuy. We know that the “stretching of the cord” was used for the orientation of Egyptian constructions and that the scenes represented in several temples were accompanied by texts with astronomical references. During the Ptolemaic period, these texts referred to the constellation Meskhetyu. However, it is the question of the iconography of the goddess, and especially of her hieroglyphic sign, that has moved us to propose a new hypothesis for the technique developed and used during the foundation ceremony. Despite many theories, there is no definitive explanation of the sign held by Seshat over her head. The hypothesis we consider here takes into account the apparent similarities that exist between the depiction of Roman gromae and the hieroglyph of the goddess. The fact that they are both associated with building orientation leads us to suggest that the sign was not only used as an identification of the goddess, i.e. her emblem, but also represented an actual topographic instrument, similar to a groma, that would have served to orientate the buildings according to certain rules that are referred in the hieroglyphic texts.''

REFREHER: "The potential literature for an intellectual study of this is vast. We hope we have provided a few simple pointers on the way.

And those who are prepared to contemplate the imagery and take it unto their inmost hearts are the more likely to be met by Beatrice from the triumphal car {'chariot'}, and 'led' to places where even the intellectual genius of a Virgil cannot go."

Understanding the above defines {or at least gives a very good attempt to} the following... "In order to heal the 'wounded', disorientated soul, it will not do to propose remedies that are crippled in their effectiveness by their implicit presumption that the prison in which the soul is trapped is the whole of reality. But the escape from this 'prison' is not easy. Re-orientation { ''inversion'' link} requires a revolution of consciousness so profound {you can almost hear the music!} that it may well threaten the sanity of the unguided ego {dramatic effect}. The ego must be wholly and painfully transformed in order for the encounter with the 'Angel' to occur {''sun at midnight' link}. Spiritual birth requires the death of the ego.

"In Christian mythology the disciples are symbols of the 'eidolon', or ego. Actually, of course, we are all eidolons, or images of the Christ. In the ancient world the eidolon and Consciousness - the false self and the true Self - were imagined as 'twins'. To make it clear that the disciples Thomas, Judas and Simon Peter are to be understood as eidolon figures, they are all represented as Jesus 'twin' brother. Thomas means 'twin' in Aramaic. In the Book of Thomas the Contender - Jesus; representing Consciousness, instructs his disciple and twin brother 'doubting Thomas', representing the incarnate self, in the path of self knowledge: 'Brother Thomas, while you are in the world for a time, listen to me, and i will reveal to you the things you have been thinking about. Since it has been said that you are my twin and true companion, examine yourself and learn who you are, in what way you exist, and how you will come to be. Since you will be called my brother, it is not fitting that you be ignorant of yourself'. " [From the book by T. Freke and P. Gandy]. Try ''twin''. Gemini?

And/or: ''Nippur (Sumerian: Nibru, often logographically recorded as 𒂗𒆤𒆠, EN.LÍLKI, "Enlil City;"[1] Akkadian: Nibbur) was an ancient Sumerian city. It was the special seat of the worship of the Sumerian god Enlil, the "Lord Wind", ruler of the cosmos, subject to An alone. Nippur was located in modern Nuffar in Afak, Al-Qādisiyyah Governorate, Iraq. It is roughly 200 kilometers south of modern Baghdad and about 60 miles southeast of the ancient city of Babylon. Occupation at the site extended back to the Ubaid period (Ubaid 2 - Hajji Muhammed), the Uruk period, and the Jemdet Nasr period. The origin of the ancient name is unknown but different proposals have been made. Nippur was situated on both sides of the Shatt-en-Nil canal, one of the earliest courses of the Euphrates, between the present bed of that river and the Tigris, almost 160 km southeast of Baghdad. It is represented by the great complex of ruin mounds known to the Arabs as Nuffar, written by the earlier explorers Niffer, divided into two main parts by the dry bed of the old Shatt-en-Nil (Arakhat). The highest point of these ruins, a conical hill rising about 30 m above the level of the surrounding plain, northeast of the canal bed, is called by the Arabs Bint el-Amiror "prince's daughter".

Found at Nippur: ''Ram in a thicket.'' Side note: At the BURNING BUSH: God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: `I AM has sent me to you. '" God also said to Moses, "Say to the Israelites, `The LORD, the God of your fathers--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob--has sent me to you.'' Question. Where was Abraham from and what animal is connected to the story of Abraham-Isaac?

Nippur never enjoyed political hegemony in its own right, but its control was crucial, as it was considered capable of conferring the overall "kingship" on monarchs from other city-states. It was distinctively a sacred city, important from the possession of the famous Ekur temple of Enlil. Ninurta, son of Enlil, also had his main cult center, the E-shumesha temple, in the city-state....One of the few instances of Nippur being recorded as having its own ruler comes from a tablet depicting a revolt of several Mesopotamian cities against Naram-Sin, including Nippur under Amar-enlila. The tablet goes on to relate that Naram-Sin defeated these rebel cities in nine battles, and brought them back under his control. The Weidner tablet (ABC 19) suggests that the Akkadian Empire fell as divine retribution, because of Sargon's initiating the transfer of "holy city" status from Nippur to Babylon.''

A working example: ''In Northern Georgia's Jackson County along the new River Glen near the banks of the upper Oconee River {S/E America} - were found fiftysix stone mound features.

Built along veins of rock quartz AS HAD two other well known stone effigy mounds called Rock Hawk {encircled by a wall} and Rock Eagle - some 50 miles south. Built by Native Americans. Hardwood trees covered the hills where the mounds were located surrounded by cotton fields.'' [Pages 57-60 'Archaeology' / July/August / 2022].

Side note: Ashtāpada (Sanskritअष्टापद) or Ashtapadi is an Indian board game which predates chess and was mentioned on the list of games that Gautama Buddha would not playChaturanga, which could be played on the same board, appeared sometime around the 6th century in India; it could be played by two to four participants.

"Clearly the attainment spells the eclipse of the Dragon. Where light shines no darkness can there abide. For being the basis of the instinctual life, harnessed and chained to the needs and clearly perceived ideals of the psyche, the dragon shuns the sunbeams and the daylight. No longer do its projections and compulsive automatisms haunt the light of consciousness. No longer is the personality tortured as by some foul and evil presence. Its needs and dictates, once so imperious, cease their urgency, finding their proper place within the natural economy." Dappled?

AND/OR: According to Stewart Culin, chaturanga was first described in the Hindu text Bhavishya Purana.[9] The Bhavishya Purana is known to include modern additions and interpolations, however, even mentioning British rule of India.....An early reference to an ancient Indian board game is sometimes attributed to Subandhu in his Vasavadatta, dated between the 5th and 7th centuries AD: The time of the rains played its game with frogs for pieces [nayadyutair] yellow and green in colour, as if mottled by lac, leapt up on the black field squares. The colours are not those of the two camps, but mean that the frogs have two colours, yellow and green.

Chariot?

Chaturanga may also have much older roots, dating back 5000 years. Archeological remains from 2000 to 3000 BC have been found from the city of Lothal (of the Indus Valley Civilisation) of pieces on a board that resemble chess.[2] Another argument that chaturanga is much older is the fact that the chariot is the most powerful piece on the board, although chariots appear to have been obsolete in warfare for at least five or six centuries, superseded by light and heavy cavalries.[citation needed] The counter-argument is that they remained prominent in literature and continued to be used for travel and transport, in processions, for games, and in races.

Carrying one?

Continued: Owen’s genius was not that he focused on what made the various skeletons different. What he found, and later promoted in a series of lectures and volumes, were exceptional similarities among creatures as different as frogs and people. All creatures with limbs, whether those limbs are wings, flippers, or hands, have a common design. One bone, the humerus in the arm or the femur in the leg, articulates with two bones, which attach to a series of small blobs, which connect with the fingers or toes. This pattern underlies the architecture of all limbs. Want to make a bat wing? Make the fingers really long. Make a horse? Elongate the middle fingers and toes and reduce and lose the outer ones. How about a frog leg? Elongate the bones of the leg and fuse several of them together. The differences between creatures lie in differences in the shapes and sizes of the bones and the numbers of blobs, fingers, and toes. Despite radical changes in what limbs do and what they look like, this underlying blueprint is always present....

Buddha's hand.

The hand of Sabazios. Thumb = pinecone?

What is it about the hand that seems quintessentially human? The answer must, at some level, be that the hand is a visible connection between us; it is a signature for who we are and what we can attain. Our ability to grasp, to build, and to make our thoughts real lies inside this complex of bones, nerves, and vessels. The immediate thing that strikes you when you see the inside of the hand is its compactness. The ball of your thumb, the thenar eminence, contains four different muscles. Twiddle your thumb and tilt your hand: ten different muscles and at least six different bones work in unison. Inside the wrist are at least eight small bones that move against one another. Bend your wrist, and you are using a number of muscles that begin in your forearm, extending into tendons as they travel down your arm to end at your hand. Even the simplest motion involves a complex interplay among many parts packed in a small space....The relationship between complexity and humanity within our hands has long fascinated scientists. In 1822, the eminent Scottish surgeon Sir Charles Bell wrote the classic book on the anatomy of hands. The title says it all: The Hand , Its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evincing Design. To Bell, the structure of the hand was “perfect” because it was complex and ideally arranged for the way we live. In his eye, this designed perfection could only have a divine origin.

But this conflict avoidance meant something much deeper to us. We can trace many of the structures of our own limbs to the fins of these fish. Bend your wrist back and forth. Open and close your hand. When you do this, you are using joints that first appeared in the fins of fish like Tiktaalik. Earlier, these joints did not exist. Later, we find them in limbs.....The important, and often surprising, fact is that most of the major bones humans use to walk, throw, or grasp first appear in animals tens to hundreds of millions of years before. ['Your Inner Fish' / N. Shubin].

Citrus medica var. sarcodactylis, or the fingered citron, is an unusually-shaped citron variety whose fruit is segmented into finger-like sections, resembling those seen on representations of the Buddha. It is called Buddha's hand in many languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and French.

And/or: "In Greek mythology, Glaucus (/ˈɡlɔːkəs/; Ancient Greek: Γλαῦκος, romanizedGlaûkos, lit.'glimmering') was a Greek prophetic sea-god, born mortal and turned immortal upon eating a magical herb. It was believed that he came to the rescue of sailors and fishermen in storms, having earlier earned a living from the sea himself.

The story of Glaucus's apotheosis was dealt with in detail by Ovid in Metamorphoses and briefly referenced by many other authors.[7][8][9][10][11][12] According to Ovid, Glaucus began his life as a mortal fisherman living in the Boeotian city of Anthedon.[13] He found a magical herb which could bring the fish he caught back to life, and decided to try eating it. The herb made him immortal, but also caused him to grow fins instead of arms and a fish's tail instead of legs (though some versions say he simply became a merman-like being),[14] forcing him to dwell forever in the sea. Glaucus was initially upset by this side-effect, but Oceanus and Tethys received him well and he was quickly accepted among the deities of the sea, learning from them the art of prophecy.

John Tzetzes adds to the above story that Glaucus became "immortal, but not immune to aging"....Alexander of Aetolia, cited in Athenaeus, related that the magical herb grew on the island Thrinacia sacred to Helios and served as a remedy against fatigue for the sun god's horses. Aeschrion of Samos informed that it was known as the "dog's-tooth" and was believed to have been sown by Cronus.[6]

'She who loves silence'.

According to Ovid and Hyginus, Glaucus fell in love with the beautiful nymph Scylla and wanted her for his wife, but she was appalled by his fish-like features and fled onto land when he tried to approach her. He asked the witch Circe for a potion to make Scylla fall in love with him, but Circe fell in love with him instead. She tried to win his heart with her most passionate and loving words, telling him to scorn Scylla and stay with her. But he replied that trees would grow on the ocean floor and seaweed would grow on the highest mountain before he would stop loving Scylla. In her anger, Circe poisoned the pool where Scylla bathed, transforming her into a terrible monster with twelve feet and six heads."[20][21]

''Shamrock'' for a deeper read. A possible ancestral one.

The lauburu (from Basque lau, "four" + buru, "head") is an ancient hooked cross with four comma-shaped heads and the most widely known traditional symbol of the Basque Country and the Basque people.[1] In the past, it has also been associated with the Galicians, Illyrians and Asturians. [citation needed]
A variant of lauburu consisting of geometrically curved lines can be constructed with a compass and straightedge, beginning with the formation of a square template; each head can be drawn from a neighboring vertex of this template with two compass settings, with one radius half the length of the other.

When the Israelites fled Egypt, after over four hundred years of slavery, they spent forty years wandering in the wilderness before they entered the Promised Land. During this time, God provided substance for them to eat every day in the form of quail (meat) and manna (Exodus 16).

Side note: "The common quail (Coturnix coturnix), or European quail, is a small ground-nesting game bird in the pheasant family Phasianidae. It is mainly migratory, breeding in the western Palearctic and wintering in Africa and southern India.

Metal of the mind.

With its characteristic call of three repeated chirps (repeated three times in quick succession), this species of quail is more often heard than seen. It is widespread in Europe and North Africa, and is categorised by the IUCN as "least concern". It should not be confused with the Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica), native to Asia, which, although visually similar, has a call that is very distinct from that of the common quail. Like the Japanese quail, common quails are sometimes kept as poultry....This is a terrestrial species, feeding on seeds and insects on the ground. It is notoriously difficult to see, keeping hidden in crops, and reluctant to fly, preferring to creep away instead. Even when flushed, it keeps low and soon drops back into cover. Often the only indication of its presence is the distinctive "wet-my-lips" repetitive song of the male. The call is uttered mostly in the mornings, evenings and sometimes at night. It is a strongly migratory bird, unlike most game birds. The common quail has been introduced onto the island of Mauritius on several occasions but has failed to establish itself and is now probably extinct....

Males generally arrive in the breeding area before the females. In northern Europe laying begins from the middle of May, and with repeat laying can continue to the end of August. The female forms a shallow scrape in the ground 7–13.5 cm (2+345+14 in) in diameter which is sparsely lined with vegetation. The eggs are laid at 24-hour {'twentyfour'} intervals to form a clutch of between 8 and 13 eggs. These have an off-white to creamy yellow background with dark brown spots or blotches."

Continued: What the narrator {Ramadan Hussein} does not explain is the symbol next, close to the 'ramp' - an 'altar' type form - which would fit in with the two extra canopic jars found next to the most S/E sarcophagus at the base of shaft 'twentyfour' belonging to the mother of an occupant on the 'west' side {Didi Bastet}. One a jackal headed jar the other falcon {lower/higher} - in relation to that S/E position. Cedar oil found to be used instead of the usual myrrh. Vertical in relation to horizontal.

''Whose height is like that of cedar trees'' [Amos ii9].

'Beams' of cedar used throughout, especially in the Old Kingdom, but more often than not in the HORIZONTAL position. With that height 'in mind' i.e., the next cycle.

Just as Djoser's tunnels of limestone were purposely 'dressed' on the INSIDE - but no curves - all right angles/straight lines. But 'across the way' {'Ibu' link?} - begins the Serapeum. Apis 'bulls' within their own 'weighty' sarcophagus. Rough internal walls but smooth ARCHWAYS.

King Djoser within his own heavy granite 'tomb' can see above him the patterned sky - a blue one - with FIVE POINTED stars.

TENT in the 'Wilderness' years? i.e., a different take on the same THEME i.e., funeral procession {'leg' link?} HEADING for the 'promised land' {'death/rebirth'}.  Middle of the journey = Mount Sinai Peninsula {'ramp'?}. Resurrection = 'crossing over to the other side' {i.e., what are the meanings of the symbols of its 'twin' compartment} . ''Purification'' = water element. ''Incense'' = 'Cloud of Unknowing'? Most of which can be gotten from what that ''peninsula'' represents. 'Lead'' also mentioned in the same program. 'Lead into gold'? Internal/ external which is the reason that to do it properly {ritually correct} it has to be done in the 'bowels' of the earth {the underworld}. That process of death/rebirth is an INTERNAL one.

''stretched''?

A working example: ''The master of the house said to me: 'You have stretched your neck upward and attempted to see what is done. The brazen man is the priest who sacrifices and is sacrificed and spews forth his own flesh. Power is given to him and this water and over the people who are punished'. At last i was overcome with the desire to mount the seven steps and to see the seven punishments, and, as was suitable, in a single day; so i went back in order to complete the ascent. Passing it several times i at length came upon the path. But as i was about to ascend i lost my way again....discouraged i fell asleep....saw a barber in a robe of royal purple who stood outside the place of punishments. I followed him to the place ....He entered and was consumed by fire....I understood this to be the barber as the brazen man....Further on he meets ''an old man whitened by years,'' {Agathodaimon the leaden man}, who asks: ''Why are you stretched out''....who later on ''changes'' from lead to silver to gold. And/or ''Meridian of the Cinnabar'' in relation to the ''fourth step'' and ''from the east a person with a sword and a person behind ''clad in white and comely to see who was named Meridian of the Sun.'' All of which ''concerns the liquids in the art of the metals... a procedure called embalming'' [Page 61-64 ''Alchemical Studies'].

And/or: ''There are seven step pyramids that are attributed to either Huni - the last king of the 3rd Dynasty - or Sneferu - the first king of the 4th Dynasty. Located in different provinces in Egypt, from Seila near the Faiyoun in the North to Elephantine in the South. All stand alone. None have entrances, internal CORRIDORS, or chambers. Could not therefore have been tomb locations.'' [Page 96 'Shamanic Wisdom in the Pyramid Texts' / J. Naydler].

And/or: ''It was called the floating pyramid - because it was surrounded by water. Butterfly {copper?} connectors between each block, with the pharaohs cartouche made the edifice secure. Socket joints at the base did the same for the foundation {'anchored'?}. Senusret built the first dam in the Faiyum {Fayoum}. Chapels found east and north but no entrance into the pyramid. Entrance found - by way of a deep shaft - on its south side {ALL others have north at the entry point}. Burial chamber made of pink granite from Aswan.

The tomb of Hirjuf is located at Qubbet el-Hawa, also known as the Valley of the Princes, a rocky location across Aswan. There are tombs from the Middle and New Empires as well as the Old Empire, which offer valuable insights into the lives of prominent officials.
The Dome of the Wind is a rocky mountain with a height of about 130 m. It is located on the west bank of the Nile near Aswan. The reason for the popularity of this mountain is that it contains tombs of priests, nobles, and governors of Aswan throughout the different ages, such as: The era of the Old Kingdom (Sixth Dynasty).
The Middle Kingdom (for the Twelfth Dynasty).
They also recently discovered tombs belonging to the modern state and the late era.
The reason for naming the air dome by this name
There is a tomb on the southern summit of the mountain belonging to one of the righteous saints and he is called “Sidi Ali Abu Al-Hawa”. It is a different and distinctive tomb, as its dome is painted white, and it is prominent so that you can see it from afar. The tomb is also distinguished by the fact that it was built on the ruins of a Coptic monastery (St. George). Tomb of Sidi Ali Abu Al-Hawa. AND/OR: "The name is derived from the dome of the tomb of an Islamic sheikh, but archaeologically, it is usually understood as referring to the site of the tombs of the officials lined up on artificial terraces below the summit of the Nile bank upon which the Islamic tomb stands."    'Assembly' to enlarge.

As ONE example: "The three 'divinities' of the Cycle Triad {that number 'three' again} - have a transcendental connection to cosmic epochs as well as natural cycles on earth. Hapi: the waterways of the Nile in Egypt - and the Milky Way in the heavens - dividing the shores and the E/W of the sky. Taurt {Hippo} contains and distributes the recurring manifestation {i.e., as a known value} - of vital force in nature, and also maintains the cyclic rhythm of great ages foretold by the shift of polestars, in her role as keeper of the ''mooring post'' in the northern heavens {S/N}. At the same time, Apep {Crocodile} expedites ''involution'', the decline of the spirit BACK into matter. In the sky, he heralds {'oracle' link?} the descent of darkness in storms {whirlwinds?} and the appearance of comets." [Page 110 from the book by R. Clark].

Understanding that one paragraph gives clues to understanding the overall subject as a whole {mind set?} - which such authors as Hancock and Collins are still in the 'dark' about.

Qubbet el-Hawa or "Dome of the Wind" is a site on the western bank of the Nile, opposite Aswan, that serves as the resting place of ancient nobles and priests from the Old and Middle Kingdoms of ancient Egypt.[1] The necropolis in use from the Fourth Dynasty of Egypt until the Roman Period. The site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979 along with other examples of Upper Egyptian architecture, as part of the "Nubian Monuments from Abu Simbel to Philae" (despite Qubbet el-Hawa being neither Nubian, nor between Abu Simbel and Philae).  AND/OR: Ten Ancient crocodiles found 'side by side'. Two different species. West and Nile crocs {east}. Wrapped in linen. 'Twisted' rope found. Surrounded by rock {stone} structures that are "part of a bigger complex." Not mummified {no resin present} - therefore naturally embalmed. All found in 'Tombs of the Nobles' the layout of which very similar to Tutankhamun. Found in the 'lower' terrace which unlike the higher ones are of more lavish {"involution?"}. Had 'twentyfive' hatchlings on its back. [ 'Secrets in the Sand' / S1 EP2].

And/or: {i.e., as seen from a different perspective}: "The following three things were perceived by him: the Ofannim, the Hayyot, and the 'man' {i.e.,an aspect of himself; his 'higher' self} above the Hayyot. The description of each of these three 'visions' is introduced by the word va-ereh, ''and I beheld'' and/or ''I saw'' {i.e.,to 'see' something } . For the account of the Hayyot begins, ''And I looked {va-ereh} and behold a whirlwind.'' etc. {Ezek.i.4}. The account of the Ofannim begins..." [Page 257 'Guide for the Perplexed'].

All the above para. in relation too: 'The Vision of Ezekiel' and that link to the Merkabah {''chariot''}. Hippo in relation to Hayyot. Croc. in relation to Ofannim. ''Man'' above it in relation to 'Throne', i.e.,''as the appearance of a sapphire stone, the likeness of a throne'' AND ''the likeness of the appearance of man above it.'' {ver.26}. Try ''whiteness'' to 'see' something further.

Continued: Put the two together in relation to: "Had any other axis than the Cancer/Capricorn been selected then, Taurus would not have been directed towards sunrise nor towards that stellium of 1207.

Continued: 'Stage' {performance? and/or 'ritual?} analogy: "As a practicing Fool ourself, we had been puzzled by the fact that Fulcanelli seems merely to have glossed over what must have been the most interesting aspect of mediaeval festivities - the Feast of Fools. We suspected that, hidden away in the esoteric account of the Feast of Fools, there would be some important lessons to learn about the inner life of the fool. One of Fulcanelli's unwritten precepts was that most of the pagan -like festivities of the mediaeval period reflected esoteric doctrines......

"The alfil can only reach one-eighth of the squares on the chessboard. Each of the eight alfils (represented by inverted bishops) can only move on squares of one colour (either red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, violet, or magenta)."

The Feast of Fools, with its bawdy, its strange language, its open mockery of the religious life and of god's servants - its election of a boy as a mock Bishop - must have offered a reservoir of arcane material to someone like Fulcanelli...During this feast, the priests would dress as clowns or women and generally 'act the fool'...It is reasonable to assume that the Fool Feast was a throwback to the Roman Saturnalia, during which slaves were allowed to change places with their masters...The inversion was almost total. Something of this inversion of the 'natural order' of society was continued into the Feast of Fools in the mediaeval period...Yet much to our surprise, he had given only passing reference to the 'Feast' and its 'Mad Mother'. What was the esoteric background to the Feast of Fools. Who was that Mad Mother?" ['The Zelator' / M. Hedsel].

Try 'Hera' for the astronomical equivalent.

Question. 'Hare' anagram of Hera?

Antique Indian elephant chess piece representing the king. And/or: "The Bishop was introduced to the European chessboard in the 12th century, replacing the elephant of Islamic tradition. The substitution of a man of the church for an animal used in battle may seem curious, but medieval bishops frequently served with armies." Horemheb to enlarge. Sheep decans?

Side note: ''No chess piece elicits a wider range of epithets across Europe than the bishop. It starts as another elephant, except that this piece was actually called “elephant” in Sanskrit (hasti) and in Persian (pil). That was Arabized as al-fil, which was Latinized as alphilus.

In French, that became fil, fol, and finally fou, which means “fool” or “jester.” That term was the result of a chain of whispers, which was then faithfully translated into Romanian. Another whisper changed alphilus, which means nothing in Italian, into alfiere, which means “standard bearer” in Italian.

The wide range of this piece’s movements explains terms such as “runner” (e.g., Läufer in German), “hunter” (e.g., lovac in Serbian), “gunner” (e.g., strelec in Slovak), and “spear” (oda in Estonian). The Russians are among those who have maintained the original “elephant,” called slon in Russian. But in the past, it has also been called a durak (“fool,” probably a loan from the French) and an offizer.

"Nicolas Flamel (French: [nikɔla flamɛl]c. 1330 – 22 March 1418)[1] was a French scribe and manuscript seller. After his death, Flamel developed a reputation as an alchemist believed to have created and discovered the philosopher's stone and to have thereby achieved immortality. These legendary accounts first appeared in the 17th century.

According to texts ascribed to Flamel almost 200 years after his death, he had learned alchemical secrets from a Jewish converso on the road to Santiago de Compostela. He has since appeared as a legendary alchemist in various fictional works."

Bulgaria. Purposely chose green to differentiate from the Russian middle colour of blue.

Continued: Officer and/or nobleman is a rather generic term. A notable alternative to the official Bulgarian term ofitser (“officer”) is fritz, derived from the nickname for German troops during World War II—a relatively recent innovation, probably helped by the fact that it sounds similar to the official term.

Apart from English, only a few other languages call this piece the “bishop”: Icelandic, Faroese, Irish, and Portuguese. Why? Nobody really knows. The miter-shaped appearance came after the name. The term does have some pedigree: The Lewis chessmen, carved from walrus ivory in the 12th century, already have the bishops dressed in recognizably ecclesiastical garb.''

And/or: ''There’s also Lughnasadh, or Lúnasa, the cross-quarter day marking the beginning of harvest time, halfway between the summer solstice and autumn equinox. (Alas, Lughnasadh has not inspired any traditions of prophetic rodents or dressing up to demand treats and threaten tricks, and remains relatively obscure today.)

For the early inhabitants of the British Isles, the most important cross-quarter day of the ancient agrarian calendar wasn’t Imbolc, Lughnasadh, or Samhuinn. It was Beltane (other spellings include Beltaine and Bealltainn), which marked the start of summer. It was celebrated midway between the spring equinox and summer solstice which, astronomically speaking, varies each year but falls around May 5 or 6.

'Triangular' in shape? Womb or tomb?

In The Encyclopedia of Celtic Mythology and Folklore, Patricia Monaghan wrote that Beltane “was essentially an agricultural festival,” and marked the time when cattle, particularly important in ancient Ireland, were driven from sheltered winter locations to buaile, summer pastures bright with fresh grass. She noted that the famous fires of Beltane, now associated with purification, “may have originated simply in the need to burn off brush before the fields and pastures were put into use.” ['Atlas Obscura'].

Building a new house on to his fathers existing one - the completion of which was only determined by the father. When finished he would return to make her his wife.'....Jesus says the same thing in the Upper Room of the last supper after taking a glass of wine....The bride meanwhile { typically a 'young' woman} would remain at home preparing the wedding and everything to do with the 'household';  known as: 'The one who has been bought for a price'....She might have to wait 6-7 months before the bridegroom returned to announce that the wedding day had arrived....When Jesus spoke of the kingdom of heaven he too compared himself to a bridegroom who was engaged to be married. In effect he said: ' i love  you as my bride so i will pay the bride price for you...I will go to my fathers house and prepare the many rooms for you - then return to take you with me into heaven.''

A working example: "The ornately carved drinking-horn is fashioned from an elephant tusk, and its presentation was a Viking tradition signifying the completion of a deal. It was given by a Danish nobleman, Ulf, who donated the land on which the first church in York was built.

The story was that Ulf, a favourite of King Cnut (Canute) rode into York shortly before his death in about 1029, bearing his favourite drinking-horn. There he filled it with wine, knelt before the altar, and bestowed upon "God and the blessed St Peter, Prince of the Apostles, all his lands and tenements".

Round the corner from....?

Experts believe that it is Persian, and dates from the tenth century. The scholar Cyril Bunt once suggested that it might have been exchanged by Viking traders for Anglo-Saxon slaves.

It is a real treasure. It is of the few surviving artefacts from the beginning of the eleventh century, believed to have been carved by Islamic carvers in Salerno. It had travelled some distance then to Jorvik to the lands of Ulf. Ulf owned large estates around York and throughout Yorkshire. But the story goes that Ulf happened to overhear his two sons Archil and Norman discussing how they would divide up his land after his death.

"Fired with indignation he jumped on a horse and rode hot-haste to York. He took with him a beautiful horn which had come from the Holy Land and was said to be already a thousand years old. Arrived at York, he presented his lands at Salton and Brawby, and also some other manors, to York Minster.

An example of typical mythology in the Talmud exists as a discussion about a giant deer and a giant lion which both originated in a mythical forest called "Bei Ilai".

The throne of Minos.

"The band of carvings is about four inches in width, and there are four chief figures. One appears to be an unicorn performing the act that, in the credulous natural history of long ago, it with its one horn, and so fixing itself and being at the hunter’s mercy. The unicorn is the symbol of chastity. At the other side of the tree is a lion {killing?} and devouring a deer. Next, facing another tree with palmated leaves and grape-like fruit {pine cone?}, is a gryphon, a creature having the body of a lion and the head and wings of an eagle. At the other side of this tree, and facing the gryphon {griffin}, is a similar monster, which has, however, the head of a dog or wolf. The lion’s tail is foliated, while those of the winged beasts end in ludicrous dogs’ or wolves’ heads. Three wolves’ heads, collared, rise from the ground-line, and a wolf runs in the upper part, and it is not unlikely that Ulphus (or Ulf, equal to our word wolf) is so hinted at. The form of the animals, especially whose which have wings, are Assyrian in feeling and treatment, while the treatment of the trees still further adds to the opinion that the horn is not a specimen of European carving."

Elephant Island: Three boulders began the temple construction through many generations. Avebury?

And/or: "An olive grove in Southern Greece was the scene of a spectacular discovery in May 2015 when archaeologists discovered the tomb of a man they dubbed the “Griffin Warrior.” Crammed with artefacts, the grave offers up new insights into the origins of the Mycenaean culture whose mythical heroes starred in the Trojan War. The Griffin Warrior’s tomb is located near Pylos in the Peloponnesian peninsula in southern Greece. The area had been well excavated in the 20th century, leading many to believe there was little left to discover. When the intact warrior’s tomb was uncovered in 2015, experts were surprised and delighted with the discovery. It surely promised to deliver new insights into ancient Greece."

The excavation began in a spot where three stones appeared to form a corner. A two meter by one meter shaft was discovered. Inside the shaft there was a stone-lined chamber containing a wooden coffin. Several offerings were found inside the chamber and on top of the coffin.

The findings were jewelry, sealstones, carved ivories, combs, gold and silver goblets, and bronze weapons, hence the warrior suggestion. The artifacts included a gold box-weave chain with “sacral ivy,” a meter-long sword with a gold-coated hilt, a gold-hilted dagger, and multiple gold and silver cups. On these cups were carnelian, amethyst, amber, and gold beads, four gold rings, many small, carved seals with etched depictions of combat, goddesses, reeds, altars, lions, and men jumping over bulls. A plaque of ivory with a representation of a griffin in a rocky landscape, a bronze mirror with an ivory handle, thin bands of bronze from the warrior’s armor, and boar tusks, possibly from the warrior’s helmet, were amongst the things found."

The meaning of ankh in the ancient Egyptian language is 'life' and derivative words such as 'to live' or 'living' and 'alive'....A single stroke determinative indicated when the word was exactly what the sign depicted and, in the case of the ankh, this was a sandal strap."

''Sixteen is a number of perfect measure and wholeness. In the Roman system 1 foot, pes, was formed by adding 4 palms, and each palm or breadth of the hand measured 4 fingers.

Question. How many 'fingers' does the Sphinx have?

Head scratcher: ''Using a grid superimposed on a photogrammetric image of the frontal view of the Nefertiti bust. Rolf Krauss has demonstrated the sculpter used a grid to calculate the proportion of the bust, employing the 'fingerbreadth', the smallest measurement of length used by the Egyptians, as the base unit. Everything can be measured in fingerbreaths so that, for example, the crown is nine fingerbreaths tall aboves the queen's forehead, and measures thirteen fingerbreaths at its widest point. The mouth is one fingerbreath tall, the ear three, and the distance between the eyebrows one.'' [Pages 112/113 'Nefertiti's Face' / J. Tyldesley].

It is a cephalometric landmark that is just superior to the nasion.[1]....The term for the area is derived from the Latin glaber, meaning 'smooth, hairless'.[2]{'BALD'?}......The skin of the glabella may be used to measure skin turgor in suspected cases of dehydration by gently pinching and lifting it. When released, the glabella of a dehydrated patient tends to remain extended ("tented"), rather than returning to its normal shape.[3]

Side note: "What is an Achilles heel? The term Achilles heel references a vulnerability or weakness. It is rooted in the myth of Achilles' mother dipping him in the River Styx, making his entire body invulnerable except for the part of his foot where she held him—the proverbial Achilles heel."

A {working?} example: "But are you not able to foresee what is going to happen to each of us,'' somebody asked, ''that is to say, foretell what result each of us will reach in work on himself and whether it is worth his while to begin work?"...'It is impossible to say,' said G. 'One can only foretell the future for men. It is impossible to foretell the future for mad machines. Their direction changes every moment. At one moment a machine of this kind is going in one direction and you can calculate where it can get to, but five minutes later it is already going it quite a different direction and all your calculations prove to be wrong. Therefore, before talking about knowing the future, one must know whose future is meant. If a man wants to know his own future he must first of all know himself. Then he will see whether it is worth his while to know the future. Sometimes, maybe, it is better not to know." ['In Search of the Miraculous'. Includes italics].

Hill and the narrator Bettany Hughes in relation to decommissioned grain pits {Winchester} which archeologists had supposed were used {afterwards} as a rubbish bin for anything and everything - but now : "One of the most important developments in Iron Age archeology has been to recognize that the rubbish we find in these pits is extremely unusual rubbish - its probably the end result of a ritual feast or sacrifice or even an offering to the gods...As part of that feast and gathering at least 12 cows were slaughtered, several adult horses, sheep, pigs, dog and they had also gone out and hunted at least ONE hare." The narrator concludes: "A flamboyant gesture of excess. An orgy of killing to thank god for a surplus of food...To trade, to party, to score social points." [' Seven Ages of Britain' / Series 1.

Fire AND water. Which and why?

"Behind Will, stands desire."

A working example {in the 'ritual' SENSE of the word}: Though Fire and Water, warmth and moisture, feeling and emotion raised to their maximum intensity are essentially creative, their stimulation within the being of the Neophyte draws his attention, perhaps for the first time, to the chaotic condition of his natural existence, and the complete psychic muddle into which his ignorance and spiritual impotence have stranded him. Evocative of the highest within his soul, equally these elements call forth that which is base and low, those parts of himself which because of undue repression have grown revengeful and cruel. The first steps in the magical work, as in alchemy, are analytical - the levelling down of all that man formerly held true and holy. An unhappy state but a very necessary one if progress is to be made and if the chaos is to be transcended. From these ruins may be erected the new temple of Light; it is always from the rubbish heap that are selected the materials for the manifestation of god-head. These symbols have a dual application. Not only do they refer to the epochs of creative evolution whose memory has long since faded even from the visible memory of Nature, but also to the recapitulation of those periods within consciousness itself....

Fire or water?

First or second?

And it is in connection with these recapitulations that “the aspirant on the threshold of Initiation”, observes Aleister Crowley, “finds himself assailed by the ‘complexes’ which have corrupted him, their externalization excruciating him, and his agonized reluctance to their elimination plunging him into such ordeals that he seems (both to himself and to others) to have turned from a noble and upright man into an unutterable scoundrel”. These are the experiences and events which occur to every aspirant when initiation forces the realization upon him that “all is sorrow”. In fact, the hallmark of successful initiation and alchemical practice would seem to lie in the occurrence of these or similar experiences - the increased awareness of conflict. The whole universe under the stimulation of the magical elements and inward analysis seems to tumble like a pack of cards crazily about one’s feet. This is the first half of the alchemical solve et coagula formula. Analysis or dissolution must precede synthesis. Corruption is the primitive base from which the pure gold of the spirit is drawn. So far as the nature of the environment and personal understanding and creative capacity permit, the task implied by the coagula formula is to assemble them and remould them nearer to the heart’s desire.

And/or: "On a Minoan gem from Kydonia, a ruler of at least part of the world of living things appears without wings - lord of the wild beasts. His relationship to the two lions flanking him {'Aker' link?} is expressed in his gesture of his hands resting on the heads of the animals....The god {Dionysus} holds fast the 'lions', two living beasts of prey - with his bare hands. He tames them as it were, by a ''laying on of hands''. He draws them into his sphere of influence and holds them captive. In Greek, a hunter who catches living animals is called Zagreus - great hunter and by analogy zatheos - ''thoroughly divine''. But the Ionian word zagre, signifying ''pit for the capture of animals'', proves that the name contains within it the root of zoe and zoon, ''life'' and ''living thing''. An exact translation of Zagreus would be 'catcher of game'.....Crete was a great hunting ground before the introduction of viticulture and remained one after the vineyards died out. Divine hunters and huntressess played there role in Cretan mythology. Orion was hunting on Crete when he threatened to exterminate all  the animals on earth, and when the earth for this reason sent the 'scorpion' against him...."

In Greek mythology, Orion was a hunting companion of the huntress-goddess Artemis. In some versions of this story, Artemis killed Orion. Then her father, Zeus, the king of the gods, immortalized the giant huntsman by placing him in the sky as a constellation....Accounts of his death vary widely: some legends have him killed by Artemis for trying to rape her, others of Apollo's jealousy over Artemis' love of Orion; still other legends have him killed by a monstrous scorpion.''

''With the constellation representing the mythological Greek huntsman Orion, Rigel is his knee or (as its name suggests) foot; with the nearby star Beta Eridani marking Orion's footstool.[27] Rigel is presumably the star known as "Aurvandil's toe" in Norse mythology.[76] In the Caribbean, Rigel represented the severed leg of the folkloric figure Trois Rois, himself represented by the three stars of Orion's Belt. The leg had been severed with a cutlass by the maiden Bįhi (Sirius).[77] The Lacandon people of southern Mexico knew it as tunsel ("little woodpecker").''

''The Māori people of New Zealand named Rigel as Puanga, said to be a daughter of Rehua (Antares), the chief of all-stars.[82] Its heliacal rising presages the appearance of Matariki (the Pleiades) in the dawn sky, marking the Māori New Year in late May or early June. The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands, as well as some Maori groups in New Zealand, mark the start of their New Year with Rigel rather than the Pleiades.[83] Puaka is a southern name variant used in the South Island.''

Question. What would the remedy be?

''A less sensationalist source merely relates how the Khan’s wife Yesui prepared his body for burial in the simple way in which he had lived: dressing him in a white robe, felt boots, and hat. She then reportedly wrapped the body up in a white felt blanket filled with fragrant sandalwood, the blanket bound with three golden straps. The funeral procession heading back into Mongolia included a riderless horse that carried Genghis Khan’s empty saddle.''

''Sandalwood is a class of woods from trees in the genus Santalum. The woods are heavy, yellow, and fine-grained, and, unlike many other aromatic woods, they retain their fragrance for decades. Sandalwood oil is extracted from the woods. Sandalwood is often cited as one of the most expensive woods in the world. Both the wood and the oil produce a distinctive fragrance that has been highly valued for centuries. Consequently, some species of these slow-growing trees have suffered over-harvesting in the past.

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''

Through its organs and their living functions, it epitomizes all of nature, which analyzes these organs in typical lineages classifiable into the mineral, plant, animal and human kingdoms.''

A work in progress: ''In the end, it may be much more useful to view Celtic material culture as a complex picture with lots of overlapping zones where discrete collections of specific objects are found. Such 'artefact sets' can tell us more about shared patterns of behaviour - patterns which would vary across the Celtic world.

As an example - feasting gear found in the Atlantic zone in the Late Bronze Age: cauldrons, flesh hooks and roasting spits. Although feasting was an important aspect of Celtic society, right across Europe, the Atlantic feasting gear represented a specific type of behaviour that was localized to the Atlantic zone, extending from southern Spain and Portugal up to Shetland. It was a 'community of behaviour' that showed connectivity between these places.''

Can any of the above tell us anything about that GAP {200 years?} between the Bronze and Iron Age?

The River Nene (/ˈnɛn/ or /ˈnn/: see below) is a river in the east of England that rises from three sources in Northamptonshire.[1] The river is about 105 miles (169 km) long,[2] about 3.7 miles (6.0 km) of which forms the border between Cambridgeshire and Norfolk. It is the tenth-longest river in the United Kingdom, and is navigable for 88 miles (142 km), from Northampton to The Wash.

 

The journey.

True or false?

Spelling of the river's name has altered over time; it was called the "Nenn" or "Nyn" in an 1810 engraving by draughtsmen George Cole and John Roper, while the Ordnance Survey of 1885 used what has since become standard spelling, "Nene".[3] The origin and meaning of the River Nene's name is unknown. The earliest known examples, which date back to the 10th century AD, have been linked to Indo-European root words for snow, rain, or washing, but a direct connection is purely speculative. According to the British toponymist and medieval scholar Victor Watts, "The name is certainly pre-English, possibly pre-Celtic'.[4] The same name appears in the Neen, the former name of the River Rea in Shropshire, which is retained in the hamlet of Neen Savage.

The pronunciation of the river's name varies by locality. In Northampton it is usually pronounced /ˈnɛn/ (NEN), and around Peterborough it is usually pronounced /ˈnn/ (NEEN).[5] The point at which the pronunciation of the Nene changes has been moving further inland for many years; the current edition of the nautical publisher Imray's "Map Of The River Nene" suggests that it now begins at Thrapston.

Cleromancy is a form of sortition (casting of lots) in which an outcome is determined by means that normally would be considered random, such as the rolling of dice (astragalomancy), but that are sometimes believed to reveal the will of a deity....Book of Proverbs 16:33: "The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from Yahweh" and 18:18: "The lot settles disputes, and keeps strong ones apart."

  • Then Odysseus of many wiles answered her, and said: “Lady, hard is it for one that has been so long afar to tell thee this, for it is now the twentieth year since he went thence and departed from my country. But I will tell thee as my mind pictures him. A fleecy cloak of purple did goodly Odysseus wear, a cloak of double fold, but the brooch upon it was fashioned of gold with double clasps, and on the front it was curiously wrought: a hound held in his fore paws a dappled fawn, and pinned it in his jaws as it writhed. And at this all men marvelled, how, though they were of gold, the hound was pinning the fawn and strangling it, and the fawn was writhing with its feet and striving to flee. And I noted the tunic about his body, all shining as is the sheen upon the skin of a dried onion, so soft it was; and it glistened like the sun.

    To Christian doctrine, perhaps the most significant ancient Hebrew mention of lots occurs in the Book of Psalms22:18 "They divide my garments among them, and for my clothing they cast lots." This came to be regarded as a prophecy connecting that psalm and the one that follows to the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus, since all four gospels (for example, John 19:24) tell of the Roman soldiers at Jesus's crucifixion casting lots to see who would take possession of his clothing. That final act of profanation became the central theme of The Robe, a 1953 film starring Richard Burton.

A notable example in the New Testament occurs in the Acts of the Apostles 1:23–26 where the eleven remaining apostles cast lots to determine whether to select Matthias, or Barsabbas (surnamed Justus) to replace Judas.

And/or: Ayelet Hashachar (Hebrew: "hind of the dawn") is found in the title of the psalm. It is probably the name of some song or tune to the measure of which the psalm was to be chanted.[7] Some, however, understand by the name some instrument of music, or an allegorical allusion to the subject of the psalms. In the recent literature,[which?] however, it is argued that "Hind of Dawn" is a cultic role of the priest designated person acting as מְנַצֵּחַ (menatseach), as head of the ritual.

Where English translations have "psalm", the underlying Hebrew word is מִזְמוֹר (mizmor), a song with instrumental accompaniment. This is part of the series of "Davidic Psalms" (mizmor le-david). Traditionally, their authorship was attributed to King David; however, in scholarly exegesis this attribution has been variously qualified or challenged since the late 19th century. The Hebrew particle le can mean "for", "about", or "by", so that it remains open to interpretation whether these psalms originate with David, or whether the heading refers, rather, to the chief character of the poetry, as being concerned with Davidic kingship in the narrow sense, or even divine kingship more generally.[8]

The heading further assigns the psalm as "for the conductor" (לַֽמְנַצֵּחַ). This is apparently a reference to the use of psalms in the (temple) liturgy. The exact meaning is unclear.[9]

Side note: From a different perspective: "Almost every scientist who has ever kept a journal reports sudden flashes of insight....certain knowledge that reaches the surface by some unknown route: 'I felt an instant and complete certainty,' wrote the mathematician Poincare, who solved an incredibly difficult problem while 'daydreaming' on a bus. Of a similar experience the great Karl Friedrich Gauss wrote: 'As a sudden flash of light, the enigma was solved...For my part, I am unable to name the nature of the thread which connected that which I previously knew with that which made my success possible.'....The 'thread' has been named intuition - not that this explains its nature. It seems to be a second path to understanding. Reason is of course safer and surer {hint, hint}....The Minoan Geeks called her Ariadne {''most pure''}. Being a seafaring people, they recognized her power of drawing up the tides, as if by an invisible thread; they suspected that she likewise drew at the 'tides of human affairs'. Ariadne's thread is one of the great magic instruments of Greek mythology. It was the clew that guided Theseus through the dark windings of the labyrinth. It has become one of the most powerful metaphors of all ages, so that even the word clew, which once meant only a ball of thread, now even means guidance to a hidden answer {center?}. Thus Gauss was guided through the labyrinth of his own unconscious by a thread he could not name. The usual place for lunar worship was the forest....The first Greek temples must have been groves of trees, for when they built stone temples, they continued to surround them with stone images of trees {'petrified'?}. Similar in Egypt - where the early temples were stone ''forests'' of artificial eucalyptus trees. Near the pyramid of Amenemhat III - lie the remains of the greatest of these temples, the Egyptian labyrinth" - it contains an estimated 36000 trees of 'stone'....[Page 40 'Arachne Rising: The Search for the Thirteenth Sign of the Zodiac' / J.

Why eucalyptus ? Any link to ''36'' ?

Reason  = ''Tower''?  Flat top? What replaces it?

Question. What is the difference between Tower/Castle/Temple?

Recall the forests that these islands were covered in from the very beginning. Matriarch? Followed by Patriarch 'religions'? But what does that really mean? Something 'unknown' becoming 'known'? Unconscious {unmanifested?} - Conscious {manifested?}. Lunar/Solar as a means.…? Which comes first and why? OR does it matter?

And/or: 'Petrified' {i.e., 'joining' of the two i.e., wood/stone} - in relation to 'Ossified' {Spine} of say Osiris? in relation to :

"The fire-wheel is in many myths, the 'masculine' form of the 'feminine' spindle." [Page 78 same book].

Anima/Animus as a means.....?

Gnosis in relation to the cognitive faculty? Enlarged elsewhere.

Etruscan.

Side note: "The word 'temple' comes from the prehistoric Indo-European root 'tem', - which means ''to cut'' . A temple is a sacred place, a place of retreat that is literally 'cut out' from busy demands of everyday existence. The Greek word temenos - the scared precinct in which a sanctuary is located - originates from the same root. The Latin word religio means to ''relink'' {i.e., to the universe} - back to the mysteries depths of our own being.....As Henry Corbin notes {'Temple and Contemplation'} - the word templum originally meant a vast space, open on all sides - from which one could survey the whole surrounding landscape as far as the horizon. This is what is meant to contemplate - to set ones sights on...." [Page 388 'Alexandria' Vol 3. D. Fideler].

''In ancient Europe, the Etruscans arranged their cities and temples according to the cross that gives shape to the world. In their wake, the church fathers saw the cross inscribed in a square as a symbol of global power of the cross of Christ.'' [Page 88 'The Mystery of Numbers' / A. Schimmel].

The largest deposit of bronze statues found in Italy. Some depict the deities who were worshiped there {Hygeia/Apollo}, while others represent individuals who MAY have visited the site, including children {'young'}, matrons {'nurse'?} and even emperors.

''Stone made to look like wood beams'' {recall Stonehenge}. And/or: Carving of a book on a night table''. TWELVE major City States. Within each a necropolis that contain tombs, some with ''painted chambers''. Flora and fauna abound. Spotted lions {panthers?} - tongues exposed - take center stage in the upper levels. FACING EACH OTHER {as opposed to say, the Egyptian Aker lions}. A 'double' band of colour seperates lower from higher. Men and women in reclining positions {'feasting'} in the 'lower' realm/division {Hestia?}, partly covered with a 'cross stitching' garment. One woman in a 'striped' top. Flutes also seen. A flat topped roof instead of a triangular one: ''to look like a tent'' remarks the narrator. Circles abound within that flat top, ONE especially highlighted in a group of 'FIVE'. The word ''augury'' used in relation to a bird {duck?} with seven wing and tail feathers. NOT 'seen' or noted. Athletic game scenes also depicted with 'slaves' : ''that took place as part of the funerals of aristocratic {'noble?'} families.'' The 'bird' flying TOWARDS the reclining figures.

The Columbarium of Pomponius Hylas is a 1st-century CE Roman columbarium, situated near the Porta Latina on the Via di Porta Latina, Rome, Italy. It was discovered and excavated in 1831 by Pietro Campana.
Though its name derives from Pomponius Hylas, who lived during the Flavian period (69–96 CE), the building itself has been dated to between 14 and 54 CE due to inscriptions on two of its niches (one dedicated to a freedman of Tiberius and the other to a freedman of Claudia Octavia, daughter of Claudius and Messalina). It was later bought by Pomponius Hylas for himself and his wife, and he added the mosaic panel over the entrance steps, which is decorated with griffins and reads: CN(aei) POMPONI HYLAE E(t) POMPONIAE CN(aei) L(ibertae) VITALINIS (Of Gnaeus Pomponius Hylas and Pomponia Vitalinis the freedwoman of Gnaeus)
The inscription also has a V (meaning vivit) over Pomponia's name, showing she was alive when the panel was added.

"An olive grove in Southern Greece was the scene of a spectacular discovery in May 2015 when archaeologists discovered the tomb of a man they dubbed the “Griffin Warrior.” Crammed with artefacts, the grave offers up new insights into the origins of the Mycenaean culture whose mythical heroes starred in the Trojan War. The Griffin Warrior’s tomb is located near Pylos in the Peloponnesian peninsula in southern Greece. The area had been well excavated in the 20th century, leading many to believe there was little left to discover. When the intact warrior’s tomb was uncovered in 2015, experts were surprised and delighted with the discovery. It surely promised to deliver new insights into ancient Greece."

Side note: The Codex Argenteus (Latin for "Silver Book/Codex") is a 6th-century illuminated manuscript, originally containing part of the 4th-century translation of the Christian Bible into the Gothic language. Traditionally ascribed to the Arian bishop Wulfila, it is now established that the Gothic translation was performed by several scholars, possibly under Wulfila's supervision.[1] Of the original 336 folios, 188—including the Speyer fragment discovered in 1970—have been preserved, containing the translation of the greater part of the four canonical gospels. A part of it is on permanent display at the Carolina Rediviva building in Uppsala, Sweden, under the name "Silverbibeln" (i.e. "The Silver Bible").

The Codex Argenteus (literally: "Silver Book") was probably written for the Ostrogothic king Theodoric the Great, either at his royal seat in Ravenna, or in the Po valley or at Brescia; it was made as a special and impressive book written with gold and silver ink on high-quality thin vellum stained a regal purple, with an ornate treasure binding. Under Theodoric's reign, manuscripts of the Gothic Bible were recopied.[3] After Theodoric's death in 526, the "Silver Bible" is not mentioned in inventories or book lists for a thousand years.''

''The ancient Romans referred to the Etruscans as the Tuscī or Etruscī (singular Tuscus).[31][32][33] Their Roman name is the origin of the terms "Toscana", which refers to their heartland, and "Etruria", which can refer to their wider region. The term Tusci is thought by linguists to have been the Umbrian word for "Etruscan", based an inscription on an ancient bronze tablet from a nearby region.[34] The inscription contains the phrase turskum ... nomen, literally "the Tuscan name". Based on a knowledge of Umbrian grammar, linguists can infer that the base form of the word turskum is *Tursci,[35] which would, through metathesis and a word-initial epenthesis, be likely to lead to the form, E-trus-ci.[36]

Side note: ''Since ancient times, people have looked to the heavens for signs, and since birds fly, it makes sense that people would perceive birds as messengers of the gods or fates. After all, a bird's-eye-view is significantly more omniscient than an earthbound perspective. Birds know what the world looks like from 30,000 feet high; they have seen the insides of clouds, so looking to birds for perspective makes an odd kind of sense.

Birds eye view?

Augury—the art of interpreting birds as omens—has been around since before the ancient Romans. An "auspice" is a Latin term for the messages birds might convey. An "augur" (a word that means both omen and one who sees an omen) would "take the auspices" by looking at "aves" (birds) and "reading" their appearance and behavior. Those auspices (bird-signs) were sometimes auspicious (lucky) and sometimes inauspicious.''

Etruscan 'noble' woman. 'Triangular' head gear? Right angle?

As for the original meaning of the root, *Turs-, a widely cited hypothesis is that it, like the word Latin turris, means "tower", and comes from the Greek word for tower: τύρσις.[37][38] On this hypothesis, the Tusci were called the "people who build towers"[37] or "the tower builders".[39] This proposed etymology is made the more plausible because the Etruscans preferred to build their towns on high precipices reinforced by walls. Alternatively, Giuliano and Larissa Bonfante have speculated that Etruscan houses may have seemed like towers to the simple Latins.[40] The proposed etymology has a long history, Dionysius of Halicarnassus having observed in the first century B. C., "[T]here is no reason that the Greeks should not have called [the Etruscans] by this name, both from their living in towers and from the name of one of their rulers.''

Something 'new'?

From a different perspective: ''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.”

Menorca: 'Ramp'?

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.”

Continued: To understand what is being implied - decipher those keys, i.e.,recall the position of Binah on the Hebrew equivalent of that universal ''moon tree''. Hence the link to ''waters'' and ''ark'' i.e., what it implies, i.e., sea/salt water {link to 'ark'} = 'UNmanifested aspect {something yet to be 'realised'}.

cave art 4 From a different {perspective?}..."Swiss researcher Franz Gnaedinger has proposed that the woman's torso and genitalia represents the summer triangle, within which the young bison's head and shoulders are perfectly framed. This is an inspiring theory, although a more positive identification would be to suggest that the woman's vulva and scissorlike legs represent the area of the Milky Way known as the Great Rift {also known as the Dark Rift, Cygnus Rift, and Great Cleft}, which is framed within the summer triangle. This is the dark band of stellar dust and debris in line with the galactic plane that causes the Milky Way to appear to split into two separate streams in the region of the Cygnus constellation..."

Summer triangle?

Question. Coincidence or a ''meaningful'' one? Either way it endorses {proves?} the validity {benefit?} of including ALL available material - not just those that we are at ease {comfortable?} with. Yes or no?

"All this is very interesting and might well be correct. Yet linking ice age cave art with the design of sacred enclosures created at Gobekli-tepe in southeast Anatolia thousands of years later might seem presumptuous. It is a fact, however, that in the early Neolithic, stalagmites and stalactites were removed from cave interiors and carried back to Catalhoyuk, where they were placed in cult shrines alongside statuettes, bucrania, vulture beaks, and painted frescoes of extraordinary beauty and sophistication. So many fragments from caves were found there that British archaeologist James Mellaart, who excavated the site in the 1960s proposed that the shrines at Catalhoyuk might have been the realm of chthonic deities ; that is, gods of the UNderworld. B.C. Dietrich, Ph.D., author of 'The Origin of Greek Religion', went further by suggesting that the ritual activities practiced, had formerly been celebrated in primordial cave settings, adding that: 'Though the locality of the cult may have changed, its form did not relax its curious hold on the mind of the worshipper who, over many generations, retained the aniconic stalagmite as an image of his goddess.' This of course, resonates with the manner in which the limestone cone in the Chauvet Cave was utilized in the creation of the Venus and Sorcerer panel." ['Gobekli Tepe' by A. Collins. Emphasis, this readers].

'Thirtytwo' symbols used throughout cave art. [Genevieve von Petzinger]. Seen any elsewhere?

And/or: At Bruniquel {Southern France}, 300 meters past a tiny cave entrance an ancient circle of carefully crafted broken stalagmites. Made by Neanderthals. Fire pits found not for the use of cooking but to set fire to 'bones' that produced very little smoke, for lighting. Turns out to be 178,000 years old. Predates modern humans by 100,000 years. The oldest ever known human construction: ''This confirms the cognitive abilities of Neanderthals....But why build it?'' ['Who was the real Neanderthal?' / PBS America].

And/or: ''Previous research focussed on particular levels in the site where mammoth bones are concentrated, but this new study took a longer-term perspective, looking at how Neanderthals used it and explored the surrounding landscape for over 100,000 years.

The team, including academics from the British Museum, University College London (UCL) and the University of Wales found that Neanderthals kept coming back to this particular place, despite globally significant changes in climate and landscape. During glacial phases (Ice Ages), they travelled to the site over cold, open landscapes, now submerged under the sea. They kept visiting as the climate warmed up and Jersey became a striking highpoint in a wide coastal plain connected to France.

Dr Beccy Scott of the British Museum added: “We’re really interested in how this site became ‘persistent’ in the minds of early Neanderthals. You can almost see hints of early mapping in the way they are travelling to it again and again, or certainly an understanding of their geography. But specifically what drew them to Jersey so often is harder to tease out. It might have been that the whole Island was highly visible from a long way off – like a waymarker – or people might have remembered that shelter could be found there, and passed that knowledge on.” ['University of Southampton'].

Hooked beak. Coincidence or a meaningful one?

Side note: The narrator Neil Oliver led into a cave {Sheffield} to be shown an Ibis bird with hooked beak on the ceiling. Elsewhere in the same program Deer antlers shown. Speculation about it being ''ritual'' - no details as to the purpose of such a ritual - other than the usual. All shortly after the last ''Big freeze''. ['World of Stonehenge' / Part 1].

Question. Is the Ibis bird native to Sheffield?

Its all about something internal NOT external. Natures examples {external} used to say {define?} something of an inner quality.

Try ''hooked'' and/or ''quality'' as opposed to say ''quantity'' {'duality' link}. Then try ''Deer'' - All as a means....?

Side note: Glaciers {the 'creators' of hills/valleys} move 'backwards' northward from a southern perspective - in more {pleasing'?} warmer climates {'phases'?}. Caves exposed. The flood waters released moving in the opposite direction. Fresh water creating {'reflecting'?} lakes or 'meandering' rivers or mixing in with the salty sea. A process beginning or ending? Above or below the ''frost zone'' ? {5:9}.

Question. At what stage {time?] of that retreat 'back to the 'north - was that cave in Sheffield exposed. Could a group of individuals - wanting to ''evolve'' their beliefs have followed that last glaciation as far as they could? Generation after generation. All 'members' sharing the same ideas. When were these islands first known as those at the ''back of the north wind''? Where did the likes of Hesiod or Homer or Hecataeus of Abdera {a Greek living in Egypt} get there 'ideas' from?

Oral tradition?

Refresher: ''Hecataeus of Abdera or of Teos (Greek: Ἑκαταῖος ὁ Ἀβδηρίτης; c. 360 BC – c. 290 BC[1]), was a Greek historian who flourished in the 4th century BC. Though none of his works survive, his writings are attested by later authors in various fragments, in particular his Aegyptica, a work on the society and culture of the Egyptians, and his On the Hyperboreans. He is one of the authors (= FGrHist 264) whose fragments were collected in Felix Jacoby's Fragmente der griechischen Historiker''.....No complete works of Hecataeus have survived, and knowledge of his writing exists only in fragments located in various ancient Greek and Latin authors' works, most of which concern religion. Eighth fragments are from his book about the Hyperboreans, the mythical people of the far north who reflect the Indian traditions about Uttarakuru. Six fragments survive from his Aegyptiaca and regard Egyptianphilosophy, priests, gods, sanctuaries, Moses, wine, and which makes mention of Clearchus and the gymnosophists.[6] Hecataeus wrote the work Aegyptiaca[7] (c. 320 – 305 BC)[8] or On the Egyptians (the same title of Manetho's later work.''

A work in progress: ''Samples from the Stonehenge bluestones fall into two groups: the first comprise the very few that have been taken directly from the blue stones themselves {orthostats}. The other much larger group contain the many thousands of small pieces - the so called debitage - that litter the Stonehenge landscape. Demonstrating that fragments from this latter group belong to a given orthostat and are not random rocks, or even GLACIAL erractics, has been and continues to be a challenge.'' [Page 46:  'Archaeology' / October 2022].

The very first symbol created by the ancestors of the Nazca people. Connects to the Humming bird figure that points {at right angles} to the rising sun at the summer solstice. The Heron figure whose beak points directly to the rising sun at the winter solstice.

As for what the rituals at Holme I and II may have involved, Dr Nance’s paper delves into folkloric beliefs relating to the changing of the seasons, linking these to the solid wall formed by the original arrangement of Holme I’s posts, and explores ideas of the symbolic significance of the penned cuckoo, and of sacral kingship. He also highlights the monument’s alignment with the sun during the summer solstice. The full paper is published at https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10708-024-11088-5.

Something extra: "The Lapwing, as Cornelius Agrippa, the early 16th century 'occult' philosopher, reminds us: 'Seemeth to have some royal thing and weareth a crown'. I do not know whether Agrippa seriously meant to include the Lapwing among royal birds, but if he did his best authority was 'Leviticus' X1,19. The Lapwing is mentioned as an unclean, that is to say tabooed, bird in the company of the eagle, the griffin-vulture, the IBIS, the cuckoo, the swan, the kite, the raven, owl, the barnacle goose, {solan goose?}, the stork, heron, and pious pelican. That these taboo's were of non semitic origin is proved by there geographical distribution: several of the birds {Ibis?} do not belong to the heat-belt which is the semitic homeland, and every one of them was sacred in Greece and Italy." [Page 49-53 'The White Goddess' / R. Graves].

N.B. ''The Greeks called the lapwing polyplagktos, 'luring on deceitfully', and had a proverbial phrase: 'more beseechful than lapwing' which they used for artful beggars.'' Same book.

Trickster?

A working example: ''Nekhen, (/ˈnɛkən/, Ancient Egyptian: nḫn) also known as Hierakonpolis (/ˌhaɪərəˈkɒnpəlɪs/; Greek: Ἱεράκων πόλις, romanizedHierákōn pólis;[2] either: City of the Hawk,[3] or City of the Falcon, a reference to Horus;[4] Egyptian Arabic: الكوم الأحمر, romanized: el-Kōm el-Aḥmar, lit.'the Red Mound'...The most famous artifact commonly associated with the main deposit, the Narmer Palette, ....The main deposit dates to the early Old Kingdom,[10] but the artistic style of the objects in the deposit indicate that they were from Naqada III and were moved into the deposit at a later date. The other important item in the deposit clearly dates to the late prehistoric.[12] This object, the Scorpion Macehead, depicts a king known only by the ideogram for scorpion, now called Scorpion II, participating in what seems to be a ritual irrigation ceremony.[13] Although the Narmer Palette is more famous because it shows the first king to wear both the crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt, the Scorpion Macehead indicates some early military hostility with the north by showing dead lapwings, the symbol of Lower Egypt, hung from standards.''

And/or: ''The lapwings poetic meaning is 'Disguise the secret'. and it is her extraordinary discretion that gives her the claim to sanctity. According to the Koran she was the repository of King Solomon's secrets and the most intelligent of the flock of birds that attended him.''

Manger: "to eat" or "to chew."

"The Manger - looking north west. The Manger is a strangely shaped valley, which is thought to have been formed by the melting of ice in the last Ice Age. Folklore suggests that the manger is the supernatural feeding place for the White Horse, which would travel from its vantage point on the crest of the hill on moonlit nights."

And/Or: ''The rabbit, though it chews the cud, does not have a split hoof; it is unclean for you. And the pig, though it has a split hoof completely divided, does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. You must not eat their meat or touch their carcasses; they are unclean for you.'' [Leviticus 11].

A working example: ''Likewise here, on these doors of the shrine {Tutankhamun's golden one}, we see Ankhesenamun {his wife/'sister'} surrounding him with her Hathorian music, perfumes, flowers and jubilation....And now the king whom 'she' has renewed in the world in every way {'afar'?}, whom she has 'birthed' and vitalized, has become the radiant crown of Egypt....She has bestowed on this horizon king everything he needs to exercise rulership...through the radiating power of his life giving 'attraction'. The doors of the shrine wait to be OPENED, its contents wait to be revealed. Four royal cartouches, each one with a fiery uraeus {'snake'} coiled around it, each one resting on the sign for 'gold', emblazon the inner panels on each side. They proclaim the names of the king: 'The Lord of Transformations is Re' and the 'Living image of Amun, Ruler of Southern Heliopolis'. Beneath, lapwings on hieroglyphic neb signs raise human arms before a five pointed star = 'Adoration of all subjects'. And between these four 'golden' royal names Ankhesenamun brings her adoration yet again before the heavenly king, her name carved {carbon?} in the space between them {'coals'?}...'' [Page 46 'Egypt's Anointing Mysteries' / A. Roberts].

Side note: Analogy: ''This land i hold is the place where the Pelican Dreaming meets the Brown Snake Dreaming. It is the most sacred land, for it holds another world within it. It holds the Dreaming {'images/hieroglyphs' etc}. It holds the ancestors. It holds the future......The open PLAIN  landscape is where the Dreamtime lives {'archetypes'}... It includes a mythological distant past when the CREATIVE spirits moved over the land, shaping it, NAMING it, calling it into BEING....Where those creative SPIRITS known as Pelican and King Brown Snake are said to have met {'crossroads'?}..... so that it seems that the mythic time beyond time {afar?} is overwhelming our little local time.'' [Page 12/13 'A Mythic Life' / J. Houston].

And/or: ''Yet, some wives pass year by year with no children, empty knit blankets and cleverly crafted cradles waiting at the hearth-side. The hope and gleam in their eyes dwindles and their patience washes out to sea like the chalk cliffs, pain etched deeper by each wave. Wishes gone unanswered, prayers unfulfilled... but then in the sad oceans of their minds, a half-forgotten memory of a tale surfaces and washes up in a fading dream. The adebarsteine. The offering. The storks. Desperation turns the warning veneer of old tales transparent. The wives remember a child's tale filled with sweets and storks and babies brought by birds. So silly, but they dare not dismiss even this least likely chance. Storks with their smooth bodies, white feathers and regal bearing. What could be more gentle? The last traces of fear slough off as easily and softly as preened down feathers.

Stork or Crane or does it matter?

By the pale blush of starlight and the moon glow on luminous cliffs each decides to try this far-fetched plea, but no woman dares to tell another for fear of shame and desperation revealed. Small feet, quiet feet in soft shoes steal into the night, for these things must always happen in the night. Past the sleeping village and beyond the dark oak trees the women go, each in her own time, down to the sea. A rocky shore where pebbles are stacked in tiny cairns {'white ones'?}, each a game of gravity. There the whisper of waves and the rasp of the spray beckon, each surge of water a tongue licking at the stone.

Like altars, the adebarsteine wait.

Side note: ''Gravity'' in relation to: ''it is said that attraction from above {i.e., in the 'spiritual' SENSE of the word}, is as real as that from below.'' [Letter xii The Hanged Man. Page 306/7 'Meditations on the Tarot'].

S/W?

And/or: ''In the mortuary complex at Hierakonpolis {'City of the Hawk'}, surrounding Tomb 16 (Fig. 1), ostrich egg- shells were also abundant and occurred in well-defined clusters {'carbuncle'?}. During the 2009 excavations of the fenced enclosure around Tomb 18 (see Friedman etal. this volume), several clusters of large shell fragments were found in the interior south-western corner of the tomb enclosure in conjunction with a mud plaster ring (Fig. 4). Presumably, the eggs had been placed in the ring, or ‘egg-cup’, in ancient times, as some fragments were still present within it. The size, position and quantity of the fragments in these clusters suggest that the shells had been whole at the time of deposition, but were subsequently broken and the fragments neatly stacked....Whole ostrich eggs, often in conjunction with pottery strainers, were also relatively common in A-Group graves, placed mainly (but not exclusively) with children in a practice that H.-A. Nordstrom (1972: 122) suggests may reflect a religious or social custom connected with childhood....''

Side note: ''Stacked'' = 'long' link?

When the north wind blows. Heading south? Ostrich feathers?

The hand of Sabazios. Thumb = pinecone?

Also found - that of a child with a necklace of about 60 roughly made beads in situ around its neck, and Burial 333, in which two small eggshell beads were found in a basket with a variety of other special objects and materials (Friedman 2003). In the elite cemetery at HK6, only four eggshell beads have been recovered during recent excavations, and when this amount is contrasted with the total amount of eggshell fragments collected in the elite cemetery, it is clear that ostrich eggshells were not in common usage, nor were they commonly being fashioned into beads. Set within this context, the rare whole ostrich eggs founds in Upper Egyptian graves take on added significance. A search of the literature revealed only four whole eggs with known provenance in tombs, all of which were amongst the richest in the cemeteries. At Naqada, Tomb 1480 contained a fragmentary decorated egg said to be found in the place of the owner’s missing head (Petrie & Quibell 1896: 28; Payne 1993: no. 2014). The tomb also contained copper finger rings and a variety of ivory ornaments (Baumgartel 1970: XLV)....More recently, the discovery of an intact egg carefully cached within a jar in the shrine at Tel el-Farkha (Cialowicz 2008, this volume) also indicates a special regard and meaning that operated beyond
in the funerary sphere.'' ['Analysis of Predynastic Ostrich Eggshells from Hierakonpolis' / Internet].

''Ostriches normally spend the winter months in pairs or alone, but during breeding season they live in groups of five to 50 birds led by a top hen or queen and often travel together with other grazing animals. They are sexually mature when they are around two to four years old, and carry out rather elaborate mating rituals. A dominant male will usually have a ‘harem’ of two to seven (usually three) hens, one of which is the queen. He will mate with all of the females. Breeding is spurred by various environmental factors mainly related to the availability of food. In Sudan, the breeding season begins in October–December and continues into May and June, peaking mid-season (Cooper et al. 2009: 1674). When the birds are ready to lay their eggs, the male will dig a simple pit in the sand around 45 cm deep and 3 m wide. The queen will lay her eggs first and the other females in the harem (among others) later lay their eggs in the same nest, with up to 18 contributors recorded in modern times. The nest may contain fifteen to forty eggs, but typically around twenty–twentyfive.''

Continued: ''Each wife filled with a dwindling dream of motherhood shucks off her shoes and hitches up her skirts. It is only ever a short wade to the stork stones. Knee deep into the Baltic, generations of barren wombs and hope-filled hearts make this pilgrimage and then set the bag of 'sweets' upon the rock. Sugar, pure and white and sweet. It seems an easy trade.

Wife Swap for kneepads? Any shortage during covid?

Pebbles?

A bag of precious confections, cakes, candies and sugared bits left upon the adebarsteine. In return, each woman takes one small pebble, a bit of grit no larger than a grain of sand and swallows it with a mouthful of the Baltic Sea. With eyes squeezed shut and a final, fervent prayer each wife flees the shore to duck back into their cottage, slip quietly back beneath the down coverlet.''

REFRESHER: ''This land i hold is the place where the Pelican Dreaming meets the Brown Snake Dreaming. It is the most sacred land, for it holds another world within it. It holds the Dreaming {'images/hieroglyphs' etc}. It holds the ancestors. It holds the future......The open PLAIN  landscape is where the Dreamtime lives {'archetypes'}... It includes a mythological distant past when the CREATIVE spirits moved over the land, shaping it, NAMING it, calling it into BEING....Where those creative SPIRITS known as Pelican and King Brown Snake are said to have met {'crossroads'?}..... so that it seems that the mythic time beyond time is overwhelming our little local time.''

Decorative gable roof at 176–178 St. John's Place between Sixth and Seventh Avenue in the Park Slope neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York City.

A gable is the generally triangular portion of a wall between the edges of intersecting roof pitches. The shape of the gable and how it is detailed depends on the structural system used....

Gable style is also used in the design of fabric structures, with varying degree sloped roofs, dependent on how much snowfall is expected. Sharp gable roofs are a characteristic of the Gothic and classical Greek styles of architecture.[1]The opposite or inverted form of a gable roof is a V-roof or butterfly roof.

Nathaniel Hawthorne famously wrote about a building with this architectural feature in The House of the Seven Gables. Gable, originally an Old French word meaning "facade or front," is from the Old Norse gafl, "gable-end," or "gable."
''H'' ?
Side note: ''The element Hydrogen comes from the Latin for water producer.''
Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. Hydrogen is the lightest element. In the early universe, the formation of protons, the nuclei of hydrogen, occurred during the first second after the Big Bang. The emergence of neutral hydrogen atoms throughout the universe occurred about 370,000 years later during the recombination epoch, when the plasma had cooled enough for electrons to remain bound to protons.''

'Three and four'?

Continued: A working example: ''In the sarcophagus chamber of the pyramid of Unas, there are SEVEN east gable utterances, the main theme of which is the physical and spiritual nourishment of the king. These 7 texts are in a discrete sequence, as are the seven texts on the OTHER side of the wall {'fourteen' in total?} - on the antechamber west gable being that of the king's celestial rebirth {i.e., 'seventh heaven'}....Both sets of texts were incorporated into a single text at a later date.'' [Page 225 'Shamanic Wisdom in the Pyramid Texts' / J. Naydler].

And/or: ''Of the five Old Kingdom Pyramid Texts found in the tombs at Saqqara, the text of the 5th Dynasty pharaoh Unas is the oldest. The appearance of these hieroglyphs is unusual in many respects, primarily because  the religious texts seems to appear full-blown in the midst of the Old Kingdom. Perhaps the words were a long time coming, developed in an oral tradition over many centuries before they were inscribed. Perhaps they were ancient scripts developed by another culture, and Unas decided that they should be written at last in stone and kept for all time. Perhaps they were part of an overall plan laid down for Saqqara {Imhotep?} - that included the huge Jubilee or Heb-Sed initiation complex. Certainly the words are a kind of initiation - whether welcoming the soul into the afterlife or initiating the spirit infused body into the world. The text forms a kind of DREAMSCAPE {Akhet/Akashic} in which Unas takes on the role of Osiris.'' [Page 228 'Imagining the World Into Existence: An Ancient Egyptian Manual of Consciousness'].

A working example: ''Proclaimed on the facade of the temple of Ramses at Abu Simbel - Ra is seen to rise because of his love for Nefertari, just as it is said that he comes forth in order to see Hathor's loveliness at Dendara. Here it is the Queen who compels him to 'SHINE'. Hers is the power to move the 'sun' in its heavenly circuit. Love, harmony and beauty radiate from her sacred dwelling, AND how could it be otherwise when she accompanies a king ruling as ''son of Ra?'' Twice a year, around the modern calendar dates of twentytwo of october and 22 February, the great temples full glory is revealed at sunrise....Solar rays 'creep' slowly down the central aisle {'corridor'?} illuminating - with the life giving warmth - four figures in the sanctuary. Baboons are seen on the outer facade greeting the rising sun. IN CONTRAST, unlike the great temples orientation almost due east, the axis of Nefertari's temple lies in a southeast- northwest direction, so sunlight never reaches further than the entrance porch.'' [Pages 12-13 'Hathor's Alchemy: The Ancient Egyptian Roots of the Hermetic Art' / Alison Roberts].

Side note: "Snakes use different movements and most snakes will slither, but even though they have no limbs snakes can also crawl in a straight line by using the muscles and the skin on each side of their body to produce the rectilinear movement that caterpillars use....It’s true that we mostly use slither to describe a snake’s movement and it almost feels synonymous to snakes. Even in Harry Potter, we have the house of Slytherin, not Crawlerin."

Refresher: "The fourth way is sometimes is called the 'way of the sly man'. The 'sly man' knows some secret which the fakir, monk and yogi do not know. How the 'sly man' learned this secret is not known. Maybe he found it in some old books, perhaps he inherited it, perhaps he bought it, or stole it from someone. It makes no difference. The 'sly man' knows the secret and with its help outstrips the fakir, the monk and yogi." ['In Search of the Miraculous'].

A working example {in the present tense and moment of the WORD}: ''I do podcasts about theories and stuff - weird and wonderfull stuff....One of my theories is that i believe hieroglyphs are actually from the future and their basically just emoji's - because we are getting to the point where our words are getting shorter as when we send messages etc....So i think the pyramids are from the future and its hieroglyphs are just emoji's. Thats how we are going to talk in the future because we cant be bothered to write.'' [Scarlett - 'Pilgrimage' / BBC2 / 2022].

Many 'bull' skeletons {with horns} found in enclosed walls surrounding the palace of Ramesses at Abydos - placed there with deliberate intention in the Ptolemy era . That same ''palace'' that was found after following the limestone path that led from the temple built by same {Ramesses}. From an ''open entrance'' that later on became bricked up. Ramesses identifying with the Scorpion king as the Ptolemy with Ramesses. This subject being the COMMON factor. ['Lost Treasures of Egypt'/ Nat. Geo].

Refresher: ''The marriage of opposites...the theme of alchemy....is the essence of the practice of the law of the Cross. The Cross is the union of two pairs of opposites. Two vertical and two horizontal. The eagle and bull are vertical opposites - towards the heights and the depths, the general and particular. The angel and lion = the other opposites. The transformation of combative courage into moral courage.'' [Page 259 'Meditations on the Tarot'].

And/or: ''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.''

Feet first or head first as in a ''birthing''.

Continued: ''In Egyptian Mysteries, Thoth is an Ibis headed scribe in the underworld, recording the judgements passed by Maat {'Truth'} as souls are weighed against a feather. In European mysteries, Odin's languages are bound up in a bag made from the skin of a crane....As the stork is the bringer of new birth, as a baby in a bag, so the crane in European lore was seen to be the herald of Spring, flying overhead in patterned flocks from southerly parts as winter retreated....a bag that promised a gift of re-birth - in this case an initiation through language as symbol.'' [Page 74/284 'Fruits of the Moon Tree' / A. Bleakley].

And/or: ''Where gods have 'gathered', the HEART grows still. A procession of Jabiru {stork} walk, laying the eggs of other lives, of blue souls in another time. Incense rises where gods gather. Heaven and earth are long dreams weighed in the balance....Beautiful is the new sun sailing in a river of sky in the boat of morning. A thousand beads of thought on a white string.''

''The jabiru (/ˌæbɪˈr/ or /ˈæbɪr/; Jabiru mycteria) is a large stork found in the Americas from Mexico to Argentina, except west of the Andes. It sometimes wanders into the United States, usually in Texas, but has been reported as far north as Mississippi. It is most common in the Pantanal region of Brazil and the Eastern Chaco region of Paraguay. It is the only member of the genus Jabiru. The name comes from a Tupi–Guaraní language and means "swollen neck".''

Side note: ''The Golden Triangle is an area of Southeast Texas between the cities of Beaumont, Port Arthur, and Orange. The term more generally refers now to the entire Beaumont-Port Arthur-Orange metropolitan area, forming the triangle.''

Continued: ''The name jabiru has also been used for two other birds of a distinct genus: black-necked stork (Ephippiorhynchus asiaticus), commonly called "jabiru" in Australia; and sometimes also for the saddle-billed stork (Ephippiorhynchus senegalensis) of Sub-Saharan Africa. In particular, Gardiner's Egyptian hieroglyph G29, believed to depict an E. senegalensis, is sometimes labeled "jabiru" in hieroglyph lists. The Ephippiorhynchus are believed to be the jabiru's closest living cousins, indicating an Old World origin for the species.[3]

''Bulford is a village and civil parish in Wiltshire, England, close to Salisbury Plain. The village is close to Durrington and about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) north of the town of Amesbury. The Bulford Camp army base is separate from the village but within the parish. The Salisbury Avon forms the western boundary of the parish, and the village is near the confluence of the Nine Mile River with the Avon. The Bulford Kiwi – a large chalk representation of a kiwi – is on a hill above the village. Evidence of occupation of the area in the late Neolithic era is provided by many round barrows on the downs.[2] A Bronze Age boundary ditch is in the northeast of the parish.[3]

The 1086 Domesday Book recorded 39 households at Bulford, within an estate of Amesbury Abbey. The name is derived from the Old English bulut ieg ford meaning 'ragged robin island ford'.[5] It is recorded in the Wiltshire Charter Rolls of 1199 as Bultiford and as Bultesforda in 1270. It is then recorded as Bulteforde in the Ecclesiastical Tax Records of 1291.''

''A ford is a shallow place with good footing where a river or stream may be crossed by wading, or inside a vehicle getting its wheels wet.[1] A ford may occur naturally or be constructed. Fords may be impassable during high water. A low-water crossing is a low bridge that allows crossing over a river or stream when water is low but may be treated as a ford when the river is high and water covers the crossing.''

Above or below the clouds?

Continued: From a different perspective: "Do you think i am not subject to them as you are?'' retorted the sculptor. ''But when this happens, i am, as you say, in bad shape. I make my way up the ladder of my desire and go above the clouds that are making me sad, and from the top i look down at the reason for my bad mood. Seen from afar, outside the bilious reactions, they diminish in importance and i can even consider them impersonally, as if they belonged to someone else. Then i weigh them in terms of my essential goals, as i can easily distinguish that which i am obliged to undergo from that which i can eliminate." ['Journey Into the Light'].

With or without his chariot {'car'}?

Arthur's Seat (Scottish Gaelic: Suidhe Artair, pronounced [ˈs̪ɯi.əˈaɾt̪ʰəɾʲ]) is an ancient volcano which is the main peak of the group of hills in Edinburgh, Scotland, which form most of Holyrood Park, described by Robert Louis Stevenson as "a hill for magnitude, a mountain in virtue of its bold design".[1] It is situated just to the east of the city centre, about 1 mile (1.6 km) to the east of Edinburgh Castle. The hill rises above the city to a height of 250.5 m (822 ft), provides excellent panoramic views of the city and beyond, is relatively easy to climb, and is popular for hillwalking. Though it can be climbed from almost any direction, the easiest and simplest ascent is from the east, where a grassy slope rises above Dunsapie Loch.

Different time, different place, different culture..."All alone, Humberto made his way through seemingly endless corridors and pathways in the rock. There he found something unheard of and unduplicated anywhere in Mayaland. Scattered throughout the caves were altars made of stalagmite and stalactite columns. And around these altars were 'offerings' that had been made perhaps a thousand years before, untouched in all that time. Each of the hundreds of clay pots, implements, images, and querns that had been offered up to the rain god, Chac, rested just where it had been placed by ancient Mayan hands in some long-ago ceremony. Nothing within had ever been seen or touched in all the years since the cave was sealed from human view." [ From the book by 'D. Melchizedek].

'Quern' in relation to 'Pole' . "Then we entered a different part of the cave, where an enormous stalagmite had millions of years ago joined as one with an equally enormous stalactite, creating a giant pillar at least twenty meters high. Around the pillar were offerings that had been left there by the Mayans long ago. Prayer pottery and vessels were arranged on the ground all around this central column, just as they had been for hundreds and thousands of years. [Same book].

And/or: ''Found in the Annex amidst a group of domestic furniture, this elaborately inlaid wooden chair was considered by Carter to have been most likely a "chair of state" or an "ecclesiastical throne". In form, the chair is a composite, uniting the curved seats of ordinary stools, the legs of folding stools, and the back, with its three vertical supports, of chairs commonly found in the New Kingdom and before. The crossed legs ending in the heads of fowl are parallel to the legs of an imitation folding stool found in the Antechamber.

What can we learn from it?

"Pauli could not fail to notice what a supreme example of synchronicity this was. A chinese woman had played an important part in his dreams, particularly those involving mirrors and their reflections: a chinese woman {therefore 'east'?} had carried out the critical experiments that brought about the downfall of 'parity' - that is of mirror symmetry - in physics. He wrote to Jung of his shock. Fierz had told him he had a ''mirror complex,'' "I admitted as much,'' Pauli wrote to Jung. ''But i was still left with the task of acknowledging the nature of my ''mirror complex." Pauli's curious dream of 1954 had occurred right after he had finished his work on mirror symmetry. He was convinced that ''the unconscious motives play a role'' in creative.....

....thinking, especially in the case of symmetry. "Mirroring'' is an archetype [and] this has something to do with physics. Physics relies on a connection of an image reflected in a mirror and between mind and nature," he said in an interview in 1957. He recalled having ''vivid, almost parapsychological dreams {lucid dreaming?} about mirroring, while i worked mathematically during the day." The mathematical work seemed to cause ''some archetype [to be] constellated [that is, to emerge into consciousness] which subsequently made me think about mirroring." The connection, he concluded was ''a kind of synchronicity, because there are unconscious motives when one is involved in something." Other examples of synchronicity soon cropped up......"[Chapter 14, '137: Jung, Pauli and the Pursuit of a Scientific Obsession' by A. Miller. Including parenthesis ].

"...Physics relies on a connection of an image reflected in a 'mirror' and between mind and nature''. 'Connection' = the objective view? i.e.,standing outside of the Self in order to discover something internal? And/or: Quote from "The Secret Of The Golden Flower: A Chinese Book of Life'' By Richard Wilhelm And Carl Jung...

"My experience in my practice has been such as to reveal to me a quite new and unexpected approach to eastern wisdom. But it must be well understood that I did not have as a starting point a more or less adequate knowledge of Chinese philosophy. On the contrary, when I began my life-work in the practice of psychiatry and psychotherapy, I was completely ignorant of Chinese philosophy, and it is only later that my professional experiences have shown me that in my technique I had been unconsciously {synchronistic?} led along that secret way which for centuries has been the preoccupation of the best minds of the East. This might have been taken for subjective imagination — one reason for my previous hesitancy in publishing anything on the subject — but Wilhelm, that great interpreter on the soul of China, has openly confirmed the coincidence for me. In so doing, he has given me the courage to write about a Chinese text which, though belonging in essence to the mysterious shadows of the eastern mind, yet at the same time, and this is important, shows striking parallels to the course of psychic development in my patients, none of whom is Chinese."

Question. An aspect of the inner self. That objective one?

And/or: "I first became interested in the idea of self analysis when i was fifteen....The turning point came a year later when i saw for the second time, a trilogy of tele programmes on Jung. For some reason i had been unaffected by the first showing but the second time around i felt as if struck by lightening and began to study Jungs works....Some months later i spent a long a sleepless night. I only got about an hours sleep because i was 'waiting' for something to happen.

Kidney or ear shape?

I had no idea what it was but eventually it emerged as two brief dreams. The first was two fish rushing around in a circle, trying to bite each others' tails and neither succeeding. I took this to relate to my attempts at analysing myself - that i was going round and round in circles not getting anywhere. The second dream, though, had enormous feeling to it. It consisted of a brief glimpse of a benign yet frightening Merlin figure dressed entirely in black {'shadow' aspect}. To his left was a large Chinese gong and in his right hand was a large stick with a large globe at the end with which he beat the gong. The figure then stood stock still and said: 'Turn away from me for i am the Echo Maker.'......" [Pages 5-6 'Apollo Versus the Echo Maker' / A. Lunt].

In esoteric circles there are no real opposites - only different ways of approaching the same goal.

Consciousness, is forever interfering, helping, correcting, and negating, and never leaving the simple growth of the psychic progresses in peace.

A {working} example: "Of course, this has to do with how one views the creation; what is exactly meant with ''creator'' and/or ''creation''. The way I see it today, the ONE mirrors itself in millions of forms, in an unbelievable variety. Every form and image, each facet and sound lives this uniqueness, with the knowledge within that it is only a reflection of the ONE. Because of this, I think it is wonderful to discover and live one's own being, without being identified with it. There is nothing else but THAT, the ONE. And each human being has the right to live his being, to allow HER particular fragrance to unfold as part of the whole." [Page 37 ' The Path has No Name' / Annette Kaiser].

In some circumstances, the giving of a nickname had a special status in Viking society in that it created a relationship between the name maker and the recipient of the nickname - to the extent that the creation of a nickname also often entailed a formal ceremony and an exchange of gifts known in Old Norse as 'nafnfestr' {''fastening a name''}.

"Plutarch quotes an ancient oracle, 'Bring together feathers, ye birds, and wax, ye bees."............."In these traditions there seems certainly to linger a faint trace of a prehistoric worship of, or perhaps a reverence for, birds and bees.

In Crete myths of birds and bees, they mingle in the birth cave of Zeus. In the Odyssey it is said that doves bring Zeus ambrosia from the bounds of Ocean. In this story it is doves [Greek = Pleiades], who bring ambrosia, which here denotes divine honey. They were considered as nymphs, and were placed in the sky as Pleiades, the seven doves." [Page 99/100, 'The Sacred Bee'].

A work in progress: ''In the last issue, several travelers who passed by Magdala in the 19th century described it as a miserable village. Many other authors of that same century do not even take the pain of mentioning such a humble town. Among them, we mention some of the most authoritative descriptors of the Holy Land, such as the Franciscan Francesco Cassini da Perinaldo (1833), the Trappist monk Marie-Joseph de Géramb (1840) or the well-known Chateaubriand (1827).

'Joy'?

And, though most authors keep noticing the presence of Magdalene’s town, they do not write about it more than a short line en passant. This is the case, for example, of Félicien de Saulcy (1865), the priests Fr. Jean-Jacques Bourassé (1867) and Liévin de Hamme (1875), the German pilgrim Gerhard Lüken (1896), and the Spanish writer from Teruel Octavio Velasco del Real: “Behold there el-Mejdel, Magdala, cradle of Mary the Penitent.” Similarly, the Catalan priest and poet Jacinto Verdaguer, briefly tell us in the diary of his pilgrimage (Dietari d’un Pelegrí) that, on the morning of 11 May 1886, while sailing from Capernaum to Tiberias, he spotted Magdala: “There is a plain full of trees and water sources, called Wadi Hammam, the Valley of the Doves. Between this and Tiberias, the now humble town of Magdala, the homeland of Saint Mary Magdalene, is only a dark spot.”

In short: in the 19th century, Magdala was not only a miserable village, but travelers practically ignored it, and its memory does not deserve more than some hasty thought.''

Jesus is therefore Alpha and OImega, the all encompassing spiritual plenitude, which was made manifest with the descent of the dove, [i.e.,representational of. This readers input].

The Grail stories tell of what happens when a Grail seeker wins through to a revelation {eureka moment?} of the 'Grail' but fails in his wonder to ask the right questions.

Mr Bohr so dogmatic and disciplined in choosing the correct words to form each question. Spent hours looking/searching within his own vocabulary of words for those perfect ones. In order to construct as close to a ‘perfect’ {'21'?} question as he could imagine. His theory being... if formed correctly, then as close to a correct answer .. within his chosen field of interest would be forthcoming. This method irked non other than Mr Einstein almost to the point of the speed of light. Yet in the end he; non other than Einstein; supplicated. He relinquished. He could see the benefits of it. Those ‘benefits’ that were to prove the creation of the word ‘quantum’. Or more to the point. It was that discipline that brought the word ‘quantum’ into the ‘light’. Into the world. The conscious one...and eventually its vocabulary. Then its curriculum.

Therefore by the same implication. From an unconscious/unknown ‘start’ point, [representation of, only], i.e., same thing, different topic. Or more to the point, applying Mr Bohrs discipline.

Gül Baba (died 1541), also known as Jafer, was an Ottoman Bektashi dervish poet and companion of Sultan Suleiman I (r. 1520–1566) who took part in a number of campaigns in Europe from the reign of Mehmed II onwards. A native of Merzifon (Marsiwān, in the vilāyet of Sivas, Anatolia),[1] he was the son of Kutb’ül Arifin Veli’üddin İbn Yalınkılıç. In Hungary, Gül Baba is known as the "Father of Roses," a literal translation of the meaning of his names in Turkish; he is said to have introduced the flower to the country. However, this is likely a misunderstanding of the metaphorical meaning of the Turkish name, which referred to the dervish's status derived from his deep mystical knowledge of Allah. Roses, wild and domesticated, were already in Hungary by the time of the Ottoman invasion. The name could also be a corruption of Kel Baba, meaning "Bald Father".

These heads are a mixture of male and female, are all bald {shaven heads} ....look lifelike, rather than off the peg....most made from FINE limestone, but some cruder forms made from plaster, and some from 'mud'...Most from the Giza cemetary, especially in the Khufu/Khafre period.

Some believe that ''all'' to be archetypes; others actual 'persons' as the example above seems to indicate; if only to those FIRST IMPRESSIONS. This reader leans more to the 'archetype' hypothesis. The more those archetypes are 'accessed' the more real - they must seem [as it does sometimes; i am sure; with those recurring dream sequences; that many 'feel' to be real]. But those archetypes regardless of how they are arrived at; or how real [if only in the subjective/individual sense] they may seem - are universal - common to all. Because all that information; by way of those archetypes;keys and or signs/images; through the course of multiple generations; is boundless, [i.e.,is recorded; as in the above example] - and especially in the present day with the inclusion of the internet. And more importantly each one implies the same [relative to each individual] - regardless of what 'methods' have been used to 'obtain' them [i.e.,in the 'mystery school' environment or at home,i.e.,by way of a study program]. Understanding that universal framework; especially with the 'divine bit' firmly in ones sight, i.e.,correctly assessed - gives that statement [hypothesis] a credible one. It also gives a 'framework' to those ''altered states''. A definition to it. A credible one. Try ''Pennant''.

"This tension between the mechanism of heredity and characteristics acquired through experience - and accumulated ''somewhere else'' - leads in the long run to the prevalence of the latter, and a kind of 'eruption' of acquired characteristics takes place in the hereditary mechanism. The fruits of past experience, so to say, "reincarnate". It is thus that one is led to postulate the principle of reincarnation...It is true that Jung designated the realm where past experiences are buried as the "collective unconscious". But why collective? Why not individual unconscious? Is it simply because experiences of the past, which arises from the depths of consciousness, have much in common? That they resemble one another?...Is it not more simple and natural to conclude that the one who remembers an experience is also the one who experienced it?...the facts assembled by Jung lend them selves at least as easily to interpretation in terms of reincarnation as in terms of a collective unconscious."

Understanding the above defines the following..."They are therefore 'inscribed magically' in a region between heaven and earth ['Astral' domain link], close enough to the earth to be reached by the souls of seekers on the earth and to awake in them the spirit of quest through their attraction, and far enough removed, on the other hand, so as never to be seized by cerebral intellectuality, i.e., to be taken hold of, analysed and exploited by it. The original of the 'Sacred Book of Thoth' [and/or Cayce hall of records and/or Akashic records link/analogy] is to be found in the 'trans-cerebral' region. For this reason it is necessary to seek for it not in crypts, manuscripts or stone inscriptions, nor even in secret societies or fraternities, but rather in the 'sanctuary of the everlasting zones' belonging to Hermes [i.e.,"between heaven and earth" ].

It is necessary to elevate oneself above the zone of cerebral intellectuality {'horizontal'?}, because the ''sacred books'' were written, according to the Hermetic treatise that we have quoted, before the formation of the brain. They make an appeal - 'magically' effective across time, 'throughout all ages' - to transcend cerebral intellectuality , and to raise 'the organisms worthy of them' to the region where they remain deposited. This region, this garden of the 'holy symbols of the cosmic element' , planted between heaven and earth  - these 'magical' formulae, gnostic symbols, and mystic 'fires' of the primordial revelation , which constitute the 'sanctuary' above cerebral intellectuality and below heaven {'void'?} - is the reality of Hermeticism. It is an incentive across the ages, stimulating human souls to aspire to the vision of ''all things'' and, having seen this totality, to comprehend it...Because in the depths of the unconscious - which knocks at the door and wants to become conscious - there is present the ''sanctuary'' {ante chamber?} of the everlasting zones, where the Sacred book of Thoth remains deposited, [''akashic records'' link] from whence symbolic and Hermetic works are 'born', or reincarnate." [Taken; including intalics; from within the book by Tomberg ].

''The cerebellum {at the back of the skull} is a vital component in the human brain as it plays a role in motor movement regulation and balance control. The cerebellum coordinates gait and maintains posture, controls muscle tone and voluntary muscle activity but is unable to initiate muscle contraction. Your cerebrum is the largest part of your brain, and it handles a wide range of responsibilities. Located at the front and top of your skull, it gets its name from the Latin word meaning “brain.” Your cerebrum is instrumental in everything you do in day-to-day life, ranging from thoughts to actions.''

And/or: ''In ancient Roman religion, Ceres (/ˈsɪərz/ SEER-eez,[1][2] Latin: [ˈkɛreːs]) was a goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships.[3] She was originally the central deity in Rome's so-called plebeian or Aventine Triad, then was paired with her daughter Proserpina in what Romans described as "the Greek rites of Ceres". Her seven-day April festival of Cerealia included the popular Ludi Ceriales (Ceres' games). She was also honoured in the May lustration (lustratio) of the fields at the Ambarvalia festival: at harvest-time: and during Roman marriages and funeral rites. She is usually depicted as a mature woman.

Ceres is the only one of Rome's many agricultural deities to be listed among the Dii Consentes, Rome's equivalent to the Twelve Olympians of Greek mythology. The Romans saw her as the counterpart of the Greek goddess Demeter,[4] whose mythology was reinterpreted for Ceres in Roman art and literature....

The name Cerēs stems from Proto-Italic *kerēs ('with grain, Ceres'; cf. Faliscan ceres, Oscan kerrí 'Cererī' < *ker-s-ēi- < *ker-es-ēi-), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₃-os ('nourishment, grain'), a derivative of the root *ḱerh₃-, meaning 'to feed'....''

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..." ['The White Goddess' / R. Graves].

The author defines that ''true poetry'' as the Theme.

''Theme'' in relation to subject material.

Example. "Plato, the father of metaphysical philosophy, had the experience of trans - cerebral thinking, of thought that is not conceived, but seen." [Same book].

''The term "autopsy" derives from the Ancient Greek αὐτοψία autopsia, "to see for oneself", derived from αὐτός (autos, "oneself") and ὄψις (opsis, "sight, view").[1] The word has been in use since around the 17th century.''

Understanding that one sentence in relation to the above texts tells one [through study] what - [as an example] - ''Venus'' represents. What 'her' purpose is - relative - most important of all - to each individual. Clue. Shadow [lion] 'element' or Anima? Which in itself determines whether that figure should be 'positioned' left or right - in relation to the full story,i.e.,depending on each individual - in relation to a ''balance''. That final link and understanding [once again through study] - of ''twin'' symbolism [and/or archetypal meaning/ inference] - relative to the whole story [and/or journey] - to each individual - on a daily basis.

".....On another count, Apollo was associated with the number seven. Hence the reason he was known as 'Seven leading,' and/or ''Seven born.'' He was born on the seventh day of the Greek month Bysios, the day on which his festivals were held. His Lyre has seven strings, each one associated with the seven planets as well as the Pythagorean ''music of the spheres'' and the seven vowels of the Greek alphabet. The same number also relates to Apollo's omphalos at Delphi, in relation to the seven directions......" [Chapter 4, 'Jesus Christ Sun of God......' Mentioned elsewhere]. Question. Why. What does it all represent?

"Even though one may not have been born, like the author, on the 7th of the month at 7a.m. in a house numbered 7, one could certainly become aware of the importance of the 7 by crossing the seven seas in the modern version of the Siebenmeilenstiefel [the 7-league boat], namely the Boeing 747, and arriving in the area of the Siebengebirge [7 Mountains, near Bonn], or drinking 7-up in September, the ancient seventh month. The number 7 has fascinated humankind since time immemorial." [ Taken from 'Mystery of Numbers' by A. Schimmel]. Synchronistic link? At the very least, what it infers - is that such books are worth taking an interest in; as are there authors.

Analogy of same {that very first one?}: "Where was Troy, and was there a Trojan war? The first question is somewhat easier than the second: the site of Troy is three miles from Dardanelles or Hellespont, at a place now called Hissarlik by the Turks. Troy was thus strategically placed to control trade through the fast flowing narrows that separate Europe from the East and connect the Black Sea to the Aegean..." ['Homer's Secret Iliad'.

Her mother-in-law Tiye is the exception to the rule. Father Yuya and mother Tjuiu being explicitly named in a series of large scarbs issued by her husband, Amenhotep III - a type of commemorative item that is all but unique to his reign. The only queens whose parentage is secure are generally those who were blood sisters of their husbands....'' [Pages 16/17 'Nefertit' / A. Dodson].

Coma Berenices. 'Triangular' in form.

Apollo: Curl or knot?

And/or: ''Coma Berenices is an ancient asterism in the northern sky, which has been defined as one of the 88 modern constellations. It is in the direction of the fourth galactic quadrant, between Leo and Boötes, and it is visible in both hemispheres. Its name means "Berenice's Hair" in Latin and refers to Queen Berenice II of Egypt, who sacrificed her long hair as a votive offering.[2] It was introduced to Western astronomy during the third century BC by Conon of Samos and was further corroborated as a constellation by Gerardus Mercator and Tycho Brahe. It is the only modern constellation named for a historic person. The constellation's major stars are Alpha, Beta, and Gamma Comae Berenices. They form a half square, along the diagonal of which run Berenice's imaginary tresses, formed by the Coma Star Cluster.''

''The Coma Star Cluster (also known as Melotte 111 or Collinder 256) is a small but nearby open cluster located in the constellation Coma Berenices. The cluster contains about 40 brighter stars (between magnitudes 5 and 10) with a common proper motion. The brighter stars of the cluster make out a distinctive "V" shape as seen when Coma Berenices is rising. The cluster used to represent the tail of Leo. However, in around 240 BC, Ptolemy III renamed it for the Egyptian queen Berenice's legendary sacrifice of her hair.''

Underneath the boulder at the base of Nolan's Cross is found a mixture of stone and animal hair.

A work in progress: Nolan’s Cross is a large cross shape formed as a result of six large boulders found on the Inland by searcher, surveyor, and Oak Island landowner Fred Nolan. The overall dimensions of the cross is 360’ wide by 867’ tall. Much has been speculated as to their purpose from simple boundary demarcation lines to some rather complex geometry and Baconian/Templar connections.....

Although Nolan's Cross is Fred's most significant finding on Oak Island, the "headstone" within it is possibly the most interesting aspect of the find. The "headstone" is a landmark at the junction of Nolan's Cross, that appears to be carved in the shape of a human face.

Side note: ''My eyes followed the graceful folds of sculptured stone draped across her lap. In her left hand she held a sheaf of papers; her chin rested in the cup of the right hand. As in the dream, she was bare breasted. Her hair fell in plaits around her bare shoulders. A six-pointed star hung from a necklace that encircled her ivory neck, and a simple triangular crown rested upon her brow...I looked at the discreet little plaque by her beautiful bare TOES: 'The Libyan Sibyal'...''
