Its old name = Septentriones. ‘Seven ploughing oxen’. [See also 'New View Over Atlantis'. Chapters one/two, in relation to 'Notch' symbolism], i.e.,"and on a bank leading up to a mountain ridge, or down to a ford, the track cut deep so as to form a guiding notch...." OR " in a mountain pass the road cut deeply at the highest place straight through the ridge, to show as a notch afar off." [Emphasis...this readers]. That link to 'Hook' symbolism.

"Such a division of the 7 into these two constituent principles, the spiritual 3 and the material 4, was used time and again..." [Taken from 'Mystery of Numbers'].

"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." [Taken from chapter 4, entitled ''Ploughing the Sea'' from the book 'The Book of Babel: Words and the Way We See Things' by N. Lewis].

'Place of Rowing'.

And/or: Erétria (Greek: Ερέτρια, literally "city of the rowers") was a polis in Ancient Greece, located on the western coast of the island of Euboea, south of Chalcis, facing the coast of Attica across the narrow Euboean Gulf. Eretria was an important Greek polis in the 6th/5th …

And/or: The history of Foeneus is concerned with certain mass emigrations from Canaan. Canaanites are referred to in the Greek myth of'Agenor, or Chnas, King of Phoenicia', brother of Pelasgus, Iasus and Belus, and father of Aegyptus and Danaus; Agenor invaded Greece and became King of Argos. His was probably the invasion that drove the Tuatha di Danaan out of Greece. Agenor had other sons, or affiliated tribes, besides Foeneus, Aegyptus and Danaus. These were Cadmus (a Semitic word meaning 'of the East'), who seized part of what afterwards became Boeotia; Cylix, who gave his name to Cilicia; Phoenix, who remained in Phoenicia and became completely Sanitized; Thasus, who emigrated to the island of Thasos, near Samothrace; and Phineus, who emigrated to Thynia, near Constantinople, where the Argonauts are said to have found him preyed on by Harpies. The Amorites, a part of whom lived in Judaea, were also Canaanites, according to Genesis, X, and in the time of the Hebrew Prophets kept up the old Aegean customs of mouse-feasts, kingcrucifixion, snake-oracles, the baking of barley-cakes in honour of the Queen of Heaven, and pre-marital prostitution; but they had early become Semitized in language.....

Side note: "Stashed away in a pit within an Iron Age or early Romano-British ditch, a rare collection of Iron Age swords and spearheads was/were discovered by 3 metal detectorists in South Cave, East Yorkshire in 2002. Hidden beneath a layer of amphora sherds, the dectorists uncovered 5 swords, each with its own scabbard, and thirtythree spear heads bundled up in animal skin {'wrapped'?}. The preservation of this find was so good that organic elements of the sword fittings, like antler, horn, and whale ivory, were still in tact. The amphora sherds may indicate the cache was deposited roughly when the Romans took over East Yorkshire, around 70AD – but some of the swords themselves could have been at least 150 years old before they were buried."

N.B. One of which had the pommel made from "the tooth of a sperm whale with bits of ivory." ['Walking Britains Roman Roads: Ermine Street'].

The pommel serves as a counter weight.

Side note: "In 1831, a small wooden trove was discovered in a “kirst” (a stone tomb) on the Isle of Lewis in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides. Inside the trove were 78 figurines portraying warriors, kings, horsemen, queens, and bishops, which were later identified as chess pieces and attributed to Viking artisanry.

A 12th-century artisan carved these pieces from Walrus tusk ivory and whale teeth. They were then brought by raiders or merchants to Lewis. Where the Lewis chessmen were originally made remains an enduring mystery due to the fact that Viking settlements peppered much of Scandinavia and the British Isles at this point in history."

Continued: Cetus (/ˈsiːtəs/) is a constellation, sometimes called 'the whale' in English. The Cetus was a sea monster in Greek mythology which both Perseus and Heracles needed to slay. Cetus is in the region of the sky that contains other water-related constellations: Aquarius, Pisces and Eridanus. Cetus may have originally been associated with a whale, which would have had mythic status amongst Mesopotamian cultures. It is often now called the Whale, though it is most strongly associated with Cetus the sea-monster, who was slain by Perseus as he saved the princess Andromeda from Poseidon's wrath. It is in the middle of "The Sea" recognised by mythologists, a set of water-associated constellations, its other members being Eridanus, Pisces, Piscis Austrinus and Aquarius.^[9]

Cetus has been depicted in many ways throughout its history. In the 17th century, Cetus was depicted as a "dragon fish" by Johann Bayer. Both Willem Blaeu and Andreas Cellarius depicted Cetus as a whale-like creature in the same century. However, Cetus has also been variously depicted with animal heads attached to a piscine body.

Continued: One body whose chief religious emblem was the vine marched, or sailed, along the South Coast of Asia Minor, halted awhile in Milyas, the old name for Lycia, invaded Greece a little before the arrival there of the Indo-European Achaeans from the north, and occupied Argos in the Peloponnese, the chief shrine of the Horned Moon-goddess Io. The Cadmean invasion came later: it seems that a Canaanite tribe originally known as the Cadmeans, or Easterners, had occupied the mountainous district on the frontier of Ionia and Caria, which they called Cadmea; whence they crossed the Aegean and seized the coastal strip facing Euboea, excellent as a naval base, which was thereafter also called Cadmea....

The 'lilies' are the red anemones that sprang up from the drops of blood that fell from Adonis's side when the wild boar killed him. The apple is the Sidonian (i.e. Cretan) apple, or quince, sacred to Aphrodite the Love-goddess, and first cultivated in Europe by the Cretans. The true apple was not known in Palestine in Biblical times and it is only recendy that varieties have been introduced there that yield marketable fruit. But the apple grew wild in ancient times on the Southern shores of the Black Sea, the provenience of the other trees of the series, and around Trebizond still occasionally forms small woods. It also occurred in Macedonia—the original home of the Muses—and in Euboea where Hercules received the injury that sent him to the pyre on Mount Oeta; but in both these cases may have been an early importation....

'I knew that Pan was the son of Penelope, but your version is a great improvement on it. Penelope, you see, is not really Ulysses' wife except in a manner of speaking; she is a sacred bird, the penelops or purplestriped duck. So again, as in the Dryope version of his parentage, Pan is born from a bird—which explains the legend that he was perfecdy developed from birth, as a hatched chicken is. Now to come to the suitors, by what I fear will be a longish argument. I postulate first of all that the Palladium is made from the bones of Pelops, that is to say from the ivory shoulder-blades of porpoises, a suitable and durable material, and that it is a phallic statue, not the statue of a goddess. I support my thesis by the existence, until a few years ago, of another sacred shoulder-blade of Pelops in the precinct which his great-grandson Hercules built in his honour at Olympia. Now, according to the myth, Pelops had only one sacred shoulder-blade, the right one; yet nobody has ever questioned the genuineness either of the relic at Olympia or of the Palladium.

Side note: A Shamanic ritual in Attila's times included: An oracle consulted by Attila prior to any battle included reading "the cracks that formed on a sheeps shoulder blade when it was placed into a fire." + "Probably originated in China and is still ongoing with the nomads in Mongolia today." ['Attila's Forbidden Tomb' / Part 2].

Continued: The history of the Olympian blade is this. During the siege of Troy the Greeks were told by an oracle that the only offensive counter-magic to the defensive magic of the Palladium preserved in the Citadel of Troy was the shoulderblade of Pelops which a tribe of Pelopians had taken to Pisa in Italy. So Agamemnon sent for the thing, but the ship that was bringing it to him went down off the coast of Euboea. Generations later, a Euboean fisherman dragged it up in his net and recognized it for what it was—probably by some design carved on it. He brought it to Delphi and the Delphic Oracle awarded it to the people of Olympia, who made the fisherman its pensioned guardian. If the bone was the shoulder-blade of a sacred porpoise, not of a man, the difficulty of Pelops's having had more than one right shoulder-blade disappears. So does the difficulty of believing that when boiled and eaten by the gods he came alive again—if the fact was that a new sacred porpoise was caught and eaten every year at Lusi by the devotees ofDeo. Does all this sound reasonable?'

Side note: "In Ancient Greek ketos (κῆτος, plural kete/ketea, κήτη/κήτεα^[1]), Latinized as cetus (pl. ceti or cete = cetea^[2]), is any huge sea monster.^[3] According to the mythology, Perseus slew a cetus to save Andromeda from being sacrificed to it. The term cetacean (for whale) derives from cetus. In Greek art, ceti were depicted as serpentine fish. The name of the mythological figure Ceto is derived from kētos. The name of the constellation Cetus also derives from this word....

In Etruscan mythology, the Cetea were regarded as psychopomps, being depicted frequently on sarcophagi and urns, along with dolphins and hippocamps.

The monster tannin in the Hebrew Bible has been translated as Greek kētos in the Septuagint, and cetus in the Latin Vulgate.

"For as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of a huge fish, so the Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."^[28]

Continued: The classicist Barry B. Powell has proposed that Euboea may have been where the Greek alphabet was first employed, c. 775–750 BC, and that Homer may have spent part of his life on the island.^[8]

Alpha is the first Greek letter. It is based on the Hebrew word aleph, which comes from the word eleph, meaning “ox.” Beta is the second Greek letter. It comes from the Hebrew beth, meaning “house.”

Linear A was the primary script used in palace and religious writings of the Minoan civilization. It was succeeded by Linear B, which was used by the Mycenaeans to write an early form of Greek. It was discovered by the archaeologist Sir Arthur Evans in 1900. No texts in Linear A have yet been deciphered.

Analogy: ''Night and day, summer and winter, left and right, up and down, are all natural pairs, neither one being dominant over the other. That is the main objective of following the Middle Way, a road of total balance, both within and without, physical and spiritual....This has been referred to as the Bridge of the Sword Blade, or the Knife Edge, and turns up in the Arthurian legends. The path to the light has always been narrow, crossing the Abyss by a slendor and shaking rainbow bridge, built only of your Will to cross. Below is what you have 'evolved' from, the cast- off skins of your previous beings, and on your back, like the Fool of the Tarot deck, is a satchel with all the good you may achieve, HUNG from your 'wand' {'hazel'?}, and bound with a cord of your intentions.''

Question. The Bridge of Sirat?

'Mountain HIGH. Valley LOW'.

Landscape equivalent of something: "Gebel el-Silsila or Gebel Silsileh "Chain of Mountains" or "Series of Mountains"; Egyptian: ẖny, Khenyt, Kheny or Khenu - "The Place of Rowing"; German: Dschabal as-Silsila - "Ruderort", or "Ort des Ruderns" - "Place of Rowing"; Italian: Gebel Silsila - "Monte della Catena" - "Upstream Mountain Chain") is 65 km north of Aswan in Upper Egypt, where the cliffs on both sides close to the narrowest point along the length of the entire Nile. The location is between Edfu in the north towards Lower Egypt and Kom Ombo in the south towards Upper Egypt. The name Kheny (or sometimes Khenu) means "The Place of Rowing". It was used as a major quarry site on both sides of the Nile from at least the 18th Dynasty to Greco-Roman times. Silsila is famous for its New Kingdom stelai and cenotaphs. '' [Wiki].

N.B. "Mount Sinai is a 2,285-metre (7,497 ft), moderately high mountain near the city of Saint Catherine in the region known today as the Sinai Peninsula. It is surrounded on all sides by higher peaks in the mountain range of which it is a part."

Razor-back? and/or the 'back' of a crocodile...as a means?

And/or: ''It is the 'mountains brought low' in order that 'every valley should be filled'...'' {Luke 3:5}. Taken from the book 'Her=Bak: Egyptian Initiate' Page 364].

As one example: "Applied symbolique can be compared to the Bridge of Sirat in the Islamic Quran. It is as wide as a razor's edge, on either side is a yawning gulf of perdition {'void'?}. One precipice is the mentality of logical or mathematical reason - the other of superstition.'' [Page 31 'The Egyptian Miracle: An Introduction to the Wisdom of the Temple' / R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz].

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

During the 18th dynasty the Egyptians switched from limestone to sandstone. At this time the quarries at Gebelein were not yielding as much limestone as before. Gebel el-Silsila became a source of sandstone. The use of this stone allowed for the use of larger architraves.
Many of the talatats used by Akhenaten were quarried from here, and used in buildings at Luxor and Amarna. A stela from the early part of Akhenaten's reign shows the king offering to Amun beneath the winged sun-disk. The inscription records that stone was cut for the great Benben of Harakhty in Thebes. Akhenaten's sculptor Bek oversaw the opening of a stone quarry here."

Talatat are stone blocks of standardized size (c. 27 by 27 by 54 cm, corresponding to ​1⁄2 by ​1⁄2 by 1 ancient Egyptian cubits) used during the 18th dynasty reign of the Pharaoh Akhenaten in the building of the Aton temples at Karnak and Akhetaten (modern Amarna). The standardized size and their small weight made construction more efficient. Their use may have begun in the second year of Akhenaten's reign. After the Amarna Period talatat construction was abandoned, apparently not having withstood the test of time." [Wiki].

Hall of Karnac made of sandstone. Coincidence or a meaningful one?

Question. Who 'created' Karnak?

Sidfe note: "The ‘pinnacle as uraeus’ concept is depicted in a wall scene inside the rock-cut Temple of Mut of Napata. Mut and a ram-headed version of Amun are seen seated inside a shrine representing the mountain; the uraeus, wearing a solar disc, projects out from the front much like the pinnacle above it. Further into the interior of the temple we see the 25th {'Twentyfive'} Dynasty king Taharqo depicted on two recently restored bas relief wall panels, in yellow ochre and Egyptian blue on gypsum mortar. The king is shown making an offering to differing forms of Amun – a demonstration of his rule over the Two Lands. On the left (downstream journey) wall he is offering to the human-headed Amun of Karnak, and on the right (upstream journey) wall he is offering to the ram-headed Amun of Gebel Barkal, who was known as ‘Amun of Napata who lives inside the Pure Mountain’.....The location {of the lions} had been documented by several early 19th-century visitors as being near to the north-west outer wall of the Royal Palace of Napata (Reisner B1200)."

Something hinted at: "Our adept means hear to speak of the first sulphur, which is the gold of the sages, the green, unripe fruit of the tree of knowledge. While the Latin phrase betrays some disappointment relative to a normal result, which many would like very much to obtain, it is because by means of this 'sulphur' the transmutation can no longer be hoped for. Indeed the philosophical gold, is not the 'stone', and Philalethes carefully warns the student that it is only its first matter. And since this sulphur principle, according to the same author, requires an uninterrupted work of approximately 'one hundred and fifty' days {150}, it is logical to think that such a result could not satisfy the artist who anticipated reaching the 'elixir' in one bound, as it can happen in the short way."

From a different perspective {from a different 'angle' - 90 or 180?}: "The Pineal gland, the dynamo that runs the organism of man, is composed of 'sand' plus a cement, an ointment, a smear, found, as has been explained, in the spinal cord {djed?} -  also to some extent, in all parts of the body. When this 'cement' is wasted, as the Prodigal Son wasted his substance in riotous living, there being a deficiency in this precious 'oil'....He lacks the sand or grit....The mineral salts of blood were called sand or salt by the Greeks. The cell salts that are found in the pineal gland are chiefly potassium phosphate....In Revelation, the pineal gland is called ''the white stone''. In Biochemistry, the phosphate of potassium is given as the birth salt of Aries people. Those who build their house upon a rock are they who conserve the substance that unites with the sand - cell salts - and thus form the 'rock' upon which a body may be built....'Rock of ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee'..." [Page 141/2 'God-Man: The Word Made Flesh / G. Carey and Inez Perry].

'Cleft' = ''crack''?

REFRESHER: "We don't know the purpose of the white quartz pebbles. There found in mortuary context from pre-historic periods onward and also medieval cemeteries.

'Peter' ?

And/or: "In Bible alchemy, Libra represents Reuben, the first son of Jacob. Reuben means Vision of the Sun. In the symbolism of the New Testament, Libra corresponds to the disciple Peter. Peter is derived from Petra, a stone or mineral." [Page 35 'The Zodiac and the Salts of Salvation'].

''On the knot amulet, Hatshepsut's name throne name, Maatkare, and her expanded name with Amun are inscribed. The Meskhetyu Instrument was used during a funerary ritual, Opening of the Mouth, to revive the deceased. On the Ovoid Stone, hieroglyphics was inscribed on it. The hieroglyphics translate to "The Good Goddess, Maatkare, she made [it] as her monument for her father, Amun-Re, at the stretching of the cord over Djeser-djeseru-Amun, which she did while alive." The stone may have been used as a hammering stone.'' [Wiki / Hatshepsut].

Continued: Understanding the above, gives clues {as a 'lead' i.e., as an example by way of the Jackal headed god}- to the information within Mr Bauval and co. book 'Black Genesis', an elongated hill in the S/W corner of the Egyptian desert..."a flattened top with a very noticeable depression or notch in the middle" what the author calls ' Horizon Hill ', and that link to the 'Horizon' hieroglyph, which as he says "was used to denote 'horizon' or, more specifically, the Place of the Sunrise." [Page 142, same book].

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 text 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].

From a different perspective {and/or a work in progress}: ''Gurdjieff's legominism, i.e., a symbol that somehow encapsulates the meaning of what it is that is to be conveyed to the 'future'. Examples of architectural 'logominisms' are the pyramids of Egypt, the hierothesion of Antiochus and the shrine at Arsemia.'' [Page 257 'Magi: The Quest for a Secret Tradition' / A. Gilbert].

Apply the above to define the following {mind set?}: "There are many pictures of men brandishing spears, which may only represent one figure drawn on many occasions. There are oxen yoked to ploughs, war chariots and wagons, men blowing {'drinking'?} curved horns and people dancing or walking in procession. These can never be completely identified, but the aim is clear. They are part of a seasonal religious ceremony. In some cases animal figures are thought to represent the beasts offered to special gods at special sacrifices {'feast of fools'?} - while the ashes of great fires {death/rebirth?}, below the rocks on which the pictures are engraved, probably indicate the sites of ritual feasts, in the Homeric manner....To a rather later period belong pictures of axes, swords, wheels and sun discs...." [Page 85 'GogMagog'].

Side note: ''In the ancient world of Egypt {and elsewhere?} - all is symbol, every gesture of life, each ritual of cult, each stela, each monument, every hieroglyph, its colour and emplacement, each figuration, the shape {'form'} of every common object - all obey the law of wisdom that situates each thing in the harmonic site of its cosmic nature....As specific idea, as figure of speech or imagined figuration, the symbol is always more concrete than the idea it evokes. Thus the means, the tool, symbolizes a state or a quality....For example the 'seat' or the throne evoke different ideas of elevation, one physical the other of power; yet the seat in general also evokes the groundwork or foundation. The scythe evokes the function of arresting, of causing to cease, as the sword evokes the function of piercing through or else of separating or cleaving....The staff evokes the idea of striking and punishing, but the act of striking with a staff can evoke a cabalistic idea of the staff itself i.e., Moses striking the 'rock' with a 'wand'. Generally speaking, symbolism is the evocation of an intelligence words can only paraphrase and not directly transcribe." [Page 31-33 'The Egyptian Miracle' / R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz].

Quantity/Quality as a means....?

Continued: "Caroline, you may not be aware of this, but your name begins with the letter associated with the balance of the number three. Balance is a grace of spirit {'male' or 'female'?}. This is why the horizon stone played such an important part in the Egyptian mysteries. The hieroglyph depicts the meeting of Sun and Earth...This symbol is the only hieroglyphic on the outer wall of the Great Pyramid...The name given to the pyramid was 'Akhet Khufu', which meant ''horizon of Khufu'' - this later term was misunderstood by later Egyptologists, who turned it into the name Cheops. This pregnant symbol is {also?} located above the passageway which pierces into the rock foundations of the vast structure. As a symbol, it survived into modern times - as the symbol for Libra, the cosmic balance, which now consists of three elements...When he had drawn the sigil, he ran the back of his pencil {'lead' link} through the curvature {'arc' / Uas link?} of space between the solar disc and the horizon of earth...'The invisible {unknown quantity?} space is just as important as the Sun and Earth.

''The glyph for Libra originally represented a yoke, which I thought was fascinating, in the light of Saturn's exaltation there. I always used to think of the symbol as representing a 'bump in the road', so perhaps Libra brings out the best of Saturn when 'the bumps in the road' of relationship happen."

REFRESHER: "The word 'conscience' {''con-science''} contains the idea of balance, for it implies "simultaneous knowing," i.e.,knowledge of the facts of the two scales suspended at the extremities of the beam of the balance. Conscience is neither a product nor a function of character. It is above it. And it is here - and only here - that there begins and there is found the domain of freedom." [Letter viii 'Justice' from the book 'Meditations on the Tarot'].

A working example: "As Dorn interprets it, this vacillating between the opposites and being tossed back and forth means being contained in the opposites. They become a vessel in which what was previously now one thing and now another floats vibrating, so that the painful suspension between opposites gradually changes into a bilateral activity of the point in the center. This is the 'liberation from opposites,' the nirdvandva of Hindu philosophy, though not really a philosophical development. The experience of the opposites has great psychological significance, for it can be associated with the development of consciousness. This uroboric state can be seen in the early life of a 'child'.....At the birth of the consciousness of mankind stands the experience of the opposites, and the first pair of opposites to appear at the dawn of humanity must have been the primal division between life and death...the tension between the two....the gateway to consciousness.''

But not yet with that 'full' understanding, i.e.,'heart' or 'bosom' link. ['lower'/ 'higher' link]. Hence the link to the 'sun' in the middle of those two 'points', regardless of whether they be 'mountains' or 'pillars'. Recall what the 'sun' represents, [besides the obvious].

Analogy of same {principles?}- that very first one - {written in the stars?}: "Homer confirms in Book 19 that Achilles is an astronomical newcomer when he is compared to Odysseus, whose constellation Bootes, had been in the skies for an eternity. Odysseus says: 'Achilles - mightiest of all the Greeks in battle {'struggle' link}, you are better than i, and that more than a little, but in counsel i am much before you, for i am older and of greater knowledge'. Homer is here stating, that Odysseus personal star, Arcturus, is not as bright and powerful as that of Achilles {Sirius and Canis Major}, but is much 'older', for it has been visible from the northern hemisphere since time immemorial." ['Homer's Secret Iliad'].

Elder/younger = Higher/lower? All as a means....?

And/or: ''Homer characterized the constellation as ''late in setting''...Minsheu of the 17th century wrote: 'Bootes, or the Carman, is a slow moving star, seated in the north pole'...And all this because as the figure sets in a perpendicular position, eight hours are consumed in its downward progress {'right angle'?} and even then the hand of Bootes never disappears below the horizon {'raised' hand?} - a fact more noticeable in early days than now. The reverse takes place however, at its rising i.e.,in a horizontal position...hence ''all at once'' {'simultaneous'?} of Aratos...The Arabs referred to it as the Digger, or Tearer, analogous to the classic Trencher in the vineyard...but this could be in error {Dionysus link?}. " ['Star Names and Their Meaning' under Bootes].

And/or: ''If you were Celtic, you might know of a constellation called Hu Gardarn {'The  mighty'}. Includes Bootes right across the night sky to Auriga - with the Gt. Bear in the middle''. Also known as the 'Plough' by the Celts, a crocodile by the Egyptians and a Hippo by the Mesopotamians.'' ['Mirthy' / July 2022].

''Hu Gadarn (Hu the Mighty) is a supposed Welsh legendary figure who appears in several of a series of Welsh Triads produced by the Welsh antiquarian and literary forger Iolo Morganwg. These triads, which Iolo put forth as medieval works, present Hu as a culture hero of the ancient Britons who introduced ploughing.''

Question. What does ''19'' represent?

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

That logic again. That logic that defines and verifies this subject. REGARDLESS of whether it be fact or fiction.

Hebrew equivalent = the word...’Sefirah’, [ ‘Mystical Shape of the Godhead'. Chapter three. G.Scholem ]. Or the Pagan ‘Dykes’, [ unconscious aspect ]. Christian equivalent = ‘Prayer’, i.e., benefit of. In relation to...a repetitive ‘habit’ / discipline. Three examples of same...but from different perspectives. Spot those common links...’The art of True Healing’. By I. Regardie...’Esoteric Healing’. By A. Hopking...’Born of Water and Spirit’. By A. Lohr.

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 murder his uncle.

In Hebrew, Jason means “the Lord is salvation.” In the bible story, Jason housed Paul and Silas when they were in need of shelter. In English, Jaye is a feminine variation to the name Jason.'' [Internet].

Or even ‘Sister Wendy’..and therefore by implication...her profession. As an example of same. Think about it. Together with 'The Brotherhood of the Common Life'. Mentioned elsewhere.

That link to the ten Commandments of Hebrew fame or Jurisprudence and Kalam...in relation to the Sharia of Islam culture to name but a few. All encompassed and re-evaluated in what Mr Al-Ghazali describes as... "the lowland of servile conformism ...to the highland of independent investigation { 'Jurisprudence' link}''... In relation to striking a balance. To achieve an equilibrium. In all things that we do...and come to believe in.

The benefit of the routine of getting used to the positives as opposed to those negatives...on a day by day basis. That potential of. In relation to a ’Journey’. Hence the link to the word [and its application]... 'meditation'. Its most basic interpretation,[some may say crudely] could be... if one has to 'focus' on anything, then focus on the 'positive' stuff as opposed to its alternative. Chooses are made every day, whether its learning something new, or still coming to terms with something 'old', ['youngest' and/or 'eldest' links]. That 'chose' one way or the other has to be made, consciously or otherwise. Whether we want to, or not. The only difference, is that this subject makes you aware of that fact... and its supposed relevance along a path or 'journey'. Represented by higher/lower.

Side note: ''So lets go Aurora hunting with our positive hats on.'' [Michaela Strachan / 'Under The Xmas Sky' / BBC2 / 2018].

Side note: The English word 'focus' comes from the Latin for 'fireplace'. ['The Chase' / ITV / 31.1.22].

Symbolic of the word ‘Treasure’. As an example...The ‘Copper scrolls’ were found {''AT the back of a cave''} alongside the ‘Dead sea scrolls’. The ’treasure’, [ in their opinion ]...is that which was found within that ‘Inner landscape’ of those words within those pages rather than in the physical sense...something that might be found...buried. A subtle link to exoteric/esoteric and/or physical/spiritual differences.

Each individual would see the word ‘treasure’ in a different light. Another example could be... "The story of Gilgamesh, the fourth king of Uruk, is in part about what people felt as they adapted to city living. This strange and wonderful story was lost for thousands of years until 1872, when George Smith, a scholar at the British museum, announced he had deciphered tablets excavated in the library of the last Assyrian king. Inscribed on Lapis lazuli, it had been locked up in the temple of Venus inside a copper box." [Chapter 15, 'The Sacred History'. Mentioned elsewhere].

And/or..."Give me a copper coin and I'll tell you a golden story,'' is in part responsible for the more popular title of the Golden Ass. This may be so, but we would also suggest that there is an alchemical tinge to this gold. That it is indicative of pure and priceless Mysteries concealed beneath the surface of the tale." [Extract taken from part 4, 'The Rose Cross and the Goddess'. Mentioned elsewhere].

Coincidence or a meaningful one?

Refresher: ''The connection of the Lapis with immortality is attested from very early times. Ostanes {4 BC} speaks of 'the Nile stone that has a spirit'. The Lapis is the panacea, the universal medicine, the alexipharmic, the tincture that transmutes base metals into gold and gravel into precious stones....It cures melancholy etc...'' [Page 101 'Alchemical Studies'].

''The fineness of a precious metal object (coin, bar, jewelry, etc.) represents the weight of fine metal therein, in proportion to the total weight which includes alloying base metals and any impurities. Alloy metals are added to increase hardness and durability of coins and jewelry, alter colors, decrease the cost per weight, or avoid the cost of high-purity refinement. For example, copper is added to the precious metal silver to make a more durable alloy for use in coins, housewares and jewelry. Coin silver, which was used for making silver coins in the past, contains 90% silver and 10% copper, by mass. Sterling silver contains 92.5% silver and 7.5% of other metals, usually copper, by mass.''

Side note: ''Mistletoe is the common name for obligate hemiparasitic plants in the order Santalales. They are attached to their host tree or shrub by a structure called the haustorium, through which they extract water and nutrients from the host plant.

The name mistletoe originally referred to the species Viscum album (European mistletoe, of the family Santalaceae in the order Santalales); it is the only species native to the British Isles and much of Europe. A related species with red rather than white fruits, Viscum cruciatum, occurs in Southwest Spain and Southern Portugal, as well as in Morocco in North Africa and in southern Africa.''

Continued: ''The word "carob" comes from Middle French carobe (modern French caroube), which borrowed it from Arabic خَرُّوبٌ (kharrūb, "locust bean pod"),^[8] which ultimately borrowed it perhaps from Akkadian language kharubu or Aramaic kharubha, or related to Hebrew kharuv.^[9] Ceratonia siliqua, the scientific name of the carob tree, derives from the Greek kerátiοn κεράτιον "fruit of the carob" (from keras κέρας "horn"), and Latin siliqua "pod, carob". In English, it is also known as "St. John's bread"^[10][a] and "locust tree"^[12] (not to be confused with African locust bean).^[13] The latter designation also applies to several other trees from the same family. The carat, a unit of mass for gemstones, and a measurement of purity for gold, takes its name from the Greek word for a carob seed, keration, via the Arabic word, qīrāṭ.''

''Holy fruit''?

The carob (/ˈkɛrəb/ KERR-əb; Ceratonia siliqua) is a flowering evergreen tree or shrub in the Caesalpinioideae sub-family of the legume family, Fabaceae. It is widely cultivated for its edible pods, and as an ornamental tree in gardens and landscapes. The carob tree is native to the Mediterranean region and the Middle East.^[1][2] Portugal is the largest producer of carob, followed by Italy and Morocco.

In the Mediterranean Basin, extended to the southern Atlantic coast of Portugal (i.e. the Algarve region) and the Atlantic northwestern Moroccan coast, carob pods were often used as animal feed and in times of famine, as "the last source of [human] food in hard times".^[3] The ripe, dried, and sometimes toasted pod is often ground into carob powder, which was sometimes used as an ersatz cocoa powder, especially in the 1970s natural food movement.^[4] The powder and chips can be used as a chocolate alternative in most recipes.''

Side note: ''Chocolate was the main ingredient of xocoatl, a beverage of the Aztecs.'' ['The Chase'].

Continued: ''The origin of the troy weight system is unknown. Although the name probably comes from the Champagne fairs at Troyes, in northeastern France,^[11] the units themselves may be of more northern origin.^{[citation needed]} English troy weights were nearly identical to the troy weight system of Bremen. (The Bremen troy ounce had a mass of 480.8 British Imperial grains.)^[9]

An alternative suggestion is that the weights come from the Muslim domains by way of the Gold Dirhem (47.966 British Imperial grains), in the manner that King Offa's weights were derived from the silver Dirhem (about 45.0 British grains).

Side note: ''The name drachma is derived from the verb δράσσομαι (drássomai, "(I) grasp").^{[n 3]} It is believed that the same word with the meaning of "handful" or "handle" is found in Linear B tablets of the Mycenean Pylos.^{[3][n 4]} Initially a drachma was a fistful (a "grasp") of six oboloí or obeloí (metal sticks, literally "spits") used as a form of currency as early as 1100 BC and being a form of "bullion": bronze, copper, or iron ingots denominated by weight. A hoard of over 150 rod-shaped obeloi was uncovered at Heraion of Argos in Peloponnese. Six of them are displayed at the Numismatic Museum of Athens.''

The Heraion of Argos (Greek: Ἡραῖον Ἄργους) is an ancient temple in Argos, Greece. It was part of the greatest sanctuary in the Argolid, dedicated to Hera, whose epithet "Argive Hera" (Ἥρη Ἀργείη Here Argeie) appears in Homer's works. Hera herself claims to be the protector of Argos in Iliad IV, 50–52): "The three towns I love best are Argos, Sparta and Mycenae of the broad streets". The memory was preserved at Argos of an archaic, aniconic pillar representation of the Great Goddess.^[1] The site, which might mark the introduction of the cult of Hera in mainland Greece, lies northeast of Argos between the archaeological sites of Mycenae and Midea,^[2] two important Mycenaean cities. The traveller Pausanias, visiting the site in the 2nd century CE, referred to the area as Prosymna (Προσύμνη).

Continued: ''According to Watson, troy relates to a dialect word troi (balance). Then troy weight is a style of weighing, like auncel or bismar weights, or other kindred methods. The troy weight then refers to weighing of small precious or potent goods, such as bullion and medicines.

The pennyweight symbol is dwt. One pennyweight weighs 24 grains and 20 pennyweights make one troy ounce.^[15] Because there were 12 troy ounces in the old troy pound, there would have been 240 pennyweights to the pound (mass) – just as there were 240 pennies in the original pound-sterling. However, prior to 1526, English pound sterling was based on the tower pound, which is 15⁄16 of a troy pound. The d in dwt stands for denarius, the ancient Roman coin that equates loosely to a penny. The symbol d for penny can be recognized in the form of British pre-decimal pennies, in which pounds, shillings, and pence were indicated using the symbols £, s, and d, respectively.''

Side step: "I asked Merlyn, how does one go about looking back into a 'past life'. How was it , that you were able to know with certainty about yours. What did you do?''....''Your question deserves a right answer'', he replied, ''Follow me... ''We walked to the very back of the cave where a large tapestry embroidered with the Red Dragon of Britain hung against the wall. To my surprise and delight Merlyn suddenly grasped the edge and gave it a tug - revealing a 'hidden' passage leading back into the rock. Down into this he disappeared, calling back through the 'darkness' for me to follow....It was as if I had been there before..." [Page 151 from the book by Douglas Monroe].

Refresher: "The Agnisuryans respond to the sound. The waters ebb and flow. Let the 'magician' guard himself from drowning, at the point where land and water meet. The midway spot, which is neither dry nor wet {fen-land/BOGLAND?} - must provide the standing place whereon his feet are set. When water, land and air meet there is the place for 'magic' to be wrought {'fire'?}."

A working example: " The Catalogue of Ships {'glass' ones?} is said to be the oldest part of the Iliad, but it brings a mixed response from readers. For some it is a tedious list of warriors, their regiments and home towns and the number of ships in which they sailed to Troy, offering little to those keen to move on to the clamour of war in the following books." ['Homer's Secret Iliad'].

Follow the title of the book to 'see' it from a broader {horizon?} viewpoint - by way of the astronomical one. {The Royal way?}. Question. Which came first - The naming of the constellations or subject material?

"However, the deeper seeker will seek for the primary inner, rather than the secondary outer knowledge, that has to be found within." ['Rose Cross and the Goddess'].

Another example with the same intent..."Then the priest said,'This book is in the middle of the river at Coptos, in an iron box; in the iron box, is a bronze box; in the bronze box is a sycamore box; in the sycamore box is an ivory box and ebony box; in the ivory/ebony box is a silver box, in the silver box, a golden one and in that is a book. It is twisted all around with snakes and scorpions..."[Extract from the book by S. Ashby]. Some facts [nuggets] within the tale from the 'Lost Book of Djehuti'. Djehuti [Greek = Thoth] - the inventor of hieroglyphs. Coptos; within the u-turn of a river. All of which have to be deciphered to understand the parts within the whole. Question. Boredom?

Something extra: The mystery of 'creation' are found at three main centers: Heliopolis, Memphis and Thebes: The Osirian myth, which reigned on earth at the beginning of time, signs each site with one of its episodes: it is by the mouth of Tanis that the coffin of Osiris, murdered by his brother Seth, was washed into the sea. It is in Coptos that, through the celestial winds {southern ones?}, Isis learned of the death of her spouse, and it was in Byblos that she found the sarcophagus of Osiris, around which a unique 'tree' had grown. And it is in the marshes of the Delta that Wadjet, the female divinity of the North, secretly raised the 'young' child Horus who was later to engage his eternal cycle of combat with his brother Seth in order to reconquer his 'fathers' heritage.'' [Page 24/5 'The Temples of Karnak' / R. A. Schwaller de Lubicz].

Side note: It is in the Nile Delta that the Children of Israel began their odyssey.

And/or: ''Just as the name Amun-Re links Amun with the sun god, so too, as Amun-Min-Bull-of-his-Mother, he is united with one of the oldest  Egyptian gods, Min, who was worsipped together with Isis, at the important cult center of Coptos in Upper Egypt. From this town the ancient Egyptians used to make their way into the desert region along the Wadi Hammamat, to the quarries which provided rich sources of gold, diorite, schist and other valuable stones; and Min himself was honoured as Lord of these hill countries.'' [Page 82 'Hathor Rising' / A. Roberts].

Inside the oilskin covering was a metal box. Inside the metal box were some sheets of paper - not really treasure of course. Not even a treasure map - just an alchemical manuscript.'' [Page 98 'Mercurius' / P. Harpur].

Question. ''Paper'' made from 'Wood'? therefore ''vegetative'' link?

A working example: ''When the sperm drop falls into the womb, it represents the First Substance. When the embryo has four strata, it represents the elements and the natures. When the members appear, the outward members like the head, the hands, the stomach, the private part, and the feet represent the seven climes. The INWARD members like the lungs, the brain, the kidney, the heart, the gallbladder, the liver, and the spleen represent the 'seven' heavens. The lungs are the first heaven and represent the sphere of the moon, the intermediary between the two worlds...many angels....the leader of which in charge of temperate water and air. The brain is the second heaven and represents the sphere Mercury...Main angel in charge of learning to write, aquiring knowledge, and managing livelihood is Gabriel. He is the second cause of the knowledge of the people of the world.

The kidneys are the third heaven = Venus = joy/happiness. 'Appetite' is the leader of these angels. The heart is the fourth heaven = the sun = Seraphiel. He is the secondary cause of the life of the people of the world. The spleen is the fifth heaven = Mars, in charge of severity, wrath, beating, and killing. He is the LENDER {leader?} of these angels. The liver is the sixth = Jupiter = Michael = ''the cause of the provision of the inhabitants {people}. The gallbladder = seven{th} heaven = Saturn = ''in charge of taking spirits {at death} = Azrael. The animal spirit is the FOOTSTOOL and represnts the sphere of the fixed stars, since the sphere of the LURED stars is the footstool of the macrocosm. The psychic spirit is the Throne and represents the sphere of spheres. The intellect is the vicegerent of god. As long as the bodily members do not grow and develop, they represent minerals. When they grow and develop, they represent plants. When sensation and volitional movement appear, they represent animals. Ten qualitative levels.

Archaeologists and psychics have been searching for these balls for a long time - it's an ancient legend. It is said that these crystal balls are somehow connected to the consciousness of the earth and to the three levels of consciousness that humans are now experiencing. Various seekers have searched for the nine spheres, spending a great deal of time and money, but according to Thoth, you don't need the crystal balls; you just need to draw nine concentric circles, because its just as revealing. If they'd known it was geometry and consciousness they were seeking and not necessarily an object, the knowledge would have come easier." ['The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life' / D.

Another 'fact' to ponder. The relationship between copper, silver, and gold as represented within the 'golden raft of El Dorado. Or why Electrum was used by the ancients, especially in the Old Kingdom of Egypt. As a representation of something. As indicated by such authors as S. Murata. Chapter two. ’Tao of Islam’.

Meditation and yoga another form of helping positive overcoming negative. Hence the reason for its application in most ‘Mystery clubs’. We all understand the merits of a healthy ‘attitude’. Especially in relation to understanding something new. In understanding the value of positive over negative. This subject is no different. Understanding those negative aspects in relation to the positive ones. The understanding of the ‘self’ in relation to the bigger/overall picture. For each and every individual. Regardless of culture / religion or class.

"How does it feel when you are positive? There is one word for it: powerful. Why do you feel powerful? Because the thought process has reversed the direction of you mind energy which is now expanding, linking up to the cosmic forces. The more positive you are the more energy you are absorbing." [Extract from, chapter 11, 'Mind Magic' by B. Shine].

Understanding this subjects 'framework' from the oral tradition up to the present date, gives a deeper meaning to the above quote. A plausible one.

"Its fun to be good, its boring to be bad." Quote by one of the 'Royals' {the big ginger one} while in Africa.

Hindu equivalent...."In the last resort, nothing but the vision of the 'Atman' itself can cause the utter dying out of desire, and therefore the disciple is instructed not to remain content with negative restraint but to center his gaze upon the Atman within, unseen, though yet it be....

...."Silence thy thoughts and fix thy whole attention on thy 'master,' [Hebrew equivalent, 'Yahweh' by way of '' Adonai.'']...whom yet thy dost not see, but whom thy feelest."

''The whole gamut of human experience {and/or emotions}''. Question. What animal represents that final word? ...Why?

...The slightest wavering, the slightest turning back in thought to that sense world on which the disciple has turned his back, will energize anew the desires which he is striving to abandon, and as the tension increases in his desire nature {what some psychologists term the unconsciousness} they will burst out in a great flash of anger utterly devastating to his spiritual progress, shattering his inner perception and causing a loss of those ''memories'' by which he hoped to mount...

Side note: ''memory'' in relation to 'belly'. Try Gobekli-tepe.

...It is not that the sense life is to be negated or outwardly discontinued, as impractically taught by some Sankhyas. It is an inner withdrawal that is to be practiced, a withdrawal to 'higher levels' that will in itself bring that outer harmonization which is essential if the buddhi is to be attained. In the old symbol of the chariot, the horses of the senses are to be held back [ nigrihita] by the reins of the mind, but it is not intended that they be unyoked from the chariot or that their movement should be stopped altogether...

'Chariots of The Gods' by E. Von Daniken. Its an inner awareness not external, i.e.,no alien spacecraft. Question. Nothing more therefore than a 'meditation' exercise? After a stressful day? Since the dawn of human {mental?} activity?

...The aim of this practice is that the mind should, to some extent at least, be purified by the practice of selfless action, and at least partially liberated from the 'thraldom' of attachments, so that it may cease to assert its unique viewpoint at every moment. Then as the wind of desire subsides, the disciple will feel a luminous peace and wisdom reflected in his heart, like the images of those eternal stars reflected in the depths of a lake, and he/she will have gained a preliminary perception of the actual nature of ''buddhi'' that will be a thousand times more useful to him/her than all the descriptions of the books." [Chapter two, 'The Yoga of the Bhagavat Gita' by Sri Krishna Prem].

''The Pool of the Eternal Life'' - a quote made in the fictional movie 'The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor''. Found in the Himalaya's - AN Auroch {cow} leading the way.

Antoine Faivre puts the role of the scholar thus:...those of us who study it [i.e., esotericism] are not only called upon to be scholars, but detectives who are able to follow its often elusive traces.

Something hinted at: "Both difficulties are present in the notion of time: it is an accident of motion, which is itself an accident of a moving object, besides it is not a fixed property; on the contrary, its true and essential condition is, not to remain in the same state for two consecutive moments. This is the source of ignorance about the nature of time. We consider time a thing created; it comes into existence in the same manner as other 'accidents', and the substances which form the substratum for the accidents..." [Page 171 'Guide for the Perplexed' / M. Maimonides]. Try ''accident''.

A working example: "A hitch in the army was up to 'three' years at that point. And having waited 3 years just to meet Sandra, i knew i couldn't survive being away from her for that long. So i took every hazardous assignment i could find with the hope of getting my time down to less than one year."

Apply the above to get 'ones head' around such quotes {concepts?} as: Buddhi...."An impersonal spiritual faculty 'giving' knowledge of the Cosmic Unity. Also used of the knowledge itself. It is also the seat of such 'higher' emotions as love. In a 'lower' sense, it is used for the purely intellectual aspect of our empirical personalities."

Together with..." The buddhi is the wisdom which 'sees' the One in All; it is also the faculty by which that vision is acquired." [Chapter 10, same book].

Atman...."Originally meaning breath, the word came to stand for 'self,' or anything that may be considered self, from the body, up to the 'highest' reality. Particularly it signifies the higher self [ jivatman], the manifested Cosmic 'self' [Mahat Atman] and the unmanifested transcendent self [Shanta Atman]. It is the consciousness, particularly on the 'higher' levels." [Pages 217/218 of the same book].

Even though written from a Hindu perspective, those general keys [highlighted, i.e., the Micro within the Macro] still define that paragraph.

REFRESHER: "....the words 'idea', 'wisdom' and 'vision' ALL originate from the common Indo-European root which means ''to see''. An idea is an insight, an inner flash of illumination that can result in 'wisdom'." [From the book 'Alexandria' / Vol 3 ].

Those negative ‘aspects’ represented with other key words that indicates an ‘offset to the norm’. More generally known as ‘the fall’ and its relevant importance to the wider ‘picture’. [ In their opinion ]. That fall represented...as in the stone age...with the ‘Heel ’ stone. Offset purposely as indicated in such books as...’In Search of Ancient Astronomies’. By E. Krupp.

The author of 'The Cities of Dreams' believes that 'heel' symbolism proves [amongst others] his hypothesis of the ''ousting of red-haired Neanderthal by Cro-Magnon.'' Using the story in Genesis 25 of the birth of the 'twins' Jacob and Esau - especially the statement - ''elder shall serve the younger.'' [ Chapter 15]. Understanding this subject gives it true meaning. 'Higher over lower' etc. All explained within and throughout.

Or more to the mark/point. The ‘offset’ pyramid on the giza plateau followed by the other two. The final one being that most famous one. The largest of the three. That order in which they are meant to be understood.

That final monument taken with the others; represented by those three bright stars within Orions belt. The 'offset' one being ' the least amount of light'. ['Black Genesis'. Mentioned within] . Together with the three stars of the Cygnus constellation, as indicated in the book 'The Cygnus Mystery' . [Especially plate 19 ].

The Hebrews represented the same with the 'serpent' tale [explained throughout], negative overcoming / influencing positive; or more to the point that 'unknown' state if not corrected, [i.e.,brought back to balance] could lead to a fall....or more importantly to remain in a ''fallen state.'' i.e., lucifer = fallen angel [Angel, link to 'shining ones', i.e.,higher relative to 'lower'] that most associate incorrectly or otherwise to a 'serpent', becomes the main anchor point of that biblical story. From a negative back into a positive. From darkness to light. Represented in all cultures as a U-TURN. Explained throughout. Turning those ''wilderness' years into a positive, in order to get to the ''promise land.''

"The function of Khidr as a ''person archetype'' for both Suhrawardi and Ibn Arabi is to reveal each disciple to himself...He leads each disciple to his own theophany {'Virgil'?}...because that theophany corresponds to his own 'inner heaven', to the form of his own being, to his eternal individuality...Khidr's mission consists in enabling you to attain to the 'Khidr of your being', for it is in this inner depth, in this 'prophet of your being', that springs the Water of Life at the foot of the mystic Sinai, pole of the microcosm, center of the world...And this is perhaps the secret reason for which the doctrine of Ibn Arabi was so feared by the adepts of the literal religion, of the historical faith; of the dogma imposed uniformly upon all. He who is a disciple of Khidr possesses sufficient inner strength to seek freely the teaching of all masters... " [From the book 'The World Turned Inside Out'. Mentioned elsewhere].

"Water is seen as a symbol of the maternal, the 'Great Mother', as well as the great unfathomable and mysterious well of Wisdom contained within the subconscious mind. In short, Water symbolizes the infinite realm of possibilities......Like the element of 'Fire', Water also symbolizes the ideas of transfiguration and regeneration. The direction or cardinal point assigned to Water is West. [Extract taken from the book by Cicero]. For a 'deeper' point of view try ''incarnation'' in the usual box. If only to understand it from 're-incarnation'.

The author of 'Lazarus Come Forth' defines those two same 'concepts' with the labels ''degeneration'' and '' regeneration'', [chapter 3] .

"Around the time of her feast [Bridget of Ireland] , at the beginning of February, an observer standing on the hills summit looking West, would see a swan in flight formed by the inundation of pastures in the vicinity of a U-shaped bend on the river Avon, known as the 'Swans neck'.

As with the return of sacred waters in spring at Kennet hills, called swallow head spring, such naturalist phenomena would have been important to the geomythic beliefs of our ancestors.

Side note: ''The expression “One swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a person entirely happy” is attributed to Aristotle (384 – 322 BC)..... One swallow does not make a summer, because individual birds may overshoot, arrive too early, have been blown north by accident, and they tend to retreat swiftly if conditions are harsh. The presence of two swallows might well be a sign of preliminary nesting behaviour.''

Something hinted at in story form {method?}:"Lubrin Dhu, under the high table {'upper room'?}, saw the firelight leaping on the plucked harp strings; but he was watching the pattern that the words and music had begun to weave inside his head; deep strong flowing patterns that had in them the beat of  hooves and the streaming of manes {'ribbons'?}, and above and around the horse patterns, the grace notes rising like spun clouds, like flocks of little birds wheeling and skimming above the herd. And as he watched, the longing that he had to capture the swallows flight came back on him again. Scarcely knowing that he had done so, he edged forward, out from under the table, over the bracken strewn floor towards the bare flagstones that edged the hearth. A piece of charred stick had fallen from the fire, and he picked it up and began to draw on the hearthstone the thing that he was seeing inside his head....The pattern was coming. Anyone else might have seen on the flagstone only a tangle of wavy lines and random spots and dashes, but to Lubrin, coming closer to the secret of the thing this time than he had done with the swallows, it meant what he wanted it to mean, and it was beautiful; also, in a strange sort of way, it was part of himself." [Page 23/4 'Sun Horse, Moon Horse' / Rosemary Sutcliff].

"Sutcliff was born 14 December 1920 to George Ernest Sutcliff and his wife Nessie Elizabeth, née Lawton, in East Clandon, Surrey.^[4] She spent her childhood in Malta and various naval bases where her father, a Royal Navy officer, was stationed. She was affected by Still's disease when she was very young, and used a wheelchair most of her life. Due to her chronic illness, Sutcliff spent most of her time with her mother from whom she learned many of the Celtic and Saxon legends that she would later expand into works of historical fiction."

Recall J. R. R. Tolkien's epics written by an Oxford Don.

Myth or mindset?

"It takes little imagination to people the old grey kitchen with the monastic cook and his scullions, for the great flagstones of the floor bear the marks of their feet. There is something strangely impressive in footworn stone. Nothing so humanizes an ancient building as the shallow troughs in its flagstones worn by human feet." [Pages 47/8 'Glastonbury: Avalon ofb the Heart' / D. Fortune].

Side note: Work on this fascinating prehistoric site began back in the 1980s, when it was identified as a preserved prehistoric forest with associated peat deposits.

Sedimentary ancient DNA from the sites has revealed a habitat of oak forest and herbaceous plants, inlcuding Einkorn: this last find provides evidence that wheat arrived in Great Britain over two millennia earlier than previously recored.

Bouldnor Cliff is the only archaeological site in a submerged Mesolithic landscape currently known in the UK. The waterlogged anaerobic conditions have created an excellent environment for preservation for organic material. Consequently, the site has the highest potential for the best-preserved discoveries of Mesolithic artefacts and palaeo-environmental evidence in the UK, as has been demonstrated with the unique DNA, boat building and string finds mentioned above.

Internationally, the findings suggest a sophisticated Mesolithic site with social networks linked the Neolithic front in southern Europe or the north European plain. These were some of the last people to cross from the continental landmass to Great Britain before the formation of the North Sea. Interpretation of the results would help us understand the potential and character of international connections and help us locate comparable sites within the submerged palaeo-landscapes that are being discovered across the British and European Continental shelf. Unfortunately, the evidence has been located because the seabed is eroding. Monitoring over a ten-year period has recorded lateral erosion of up to 4m in the most vulnerable parts of the archaeological sites.

However, it wasn’t until 1998 when the Hampshire and Wight Trust for Maritime Archaeology (now the Maritime Archaeology Trust) began investigating the site as part of the European ‘LIFE’ Project that research began again. During a routine survey dive volunteers spotted interesting worked flints in a lobster burrow. Excitement grew as more worked flints were found over the duration of the fieldwork season in 1998 and 1999. During the 1999 season a full profile of the cliff showing the multiple layers of peat and alluvial silts was compiled.

Since then work has been ongoing throughout numerous fieldwork seasons, during which more fascinating discoveries have included worked and burnt flints, hearths, wooden ‘platform’ structures and a worked wooden artefact that could be part of a log boat or trough. Excavation and rescue recovery have been completmented with palaeoenvironmental analysis and radio carbon dating. This data has provided additional context for the site and erosion studies, which have demonstrated how fast it is disappearing.

The structure was found by the Maritime Archaeological Trust 36ft (11m) below sea level east of Yarmouth at a site which was dry land during the Stone Age. Earlier this year divers from the trust spotted the new structure and excavations revealed a platform consisting of split timbers, several layers thick, resting on horizontally laid round-wood foundations....During the period when there was human activity on the site, it was dry land with lush vegetation and the Isle of Wight was still connected to mainland Europe.

The River Yar on the Isle of Wight, England, rises near the beach at Freshwater Bay, on the south coast, and flows only a few miles north to Yarmouth where it meets the Solent. Most of the river is a tidal estuary. Its headwaters have been truncated by erosion of the south coast. The Yar is one of two rivers of that name on the Isle of Wight. It is referred to as the Western Yar if it is necessary to distinguish between them with the other river being known as the Eastern Yar.

Ophel, with the definite article ha-ophel, is a common noun known from two Ancient Semitic languages, Biblical Hebrew and Moabitic. As a place name or description it appears several times in the Hebrew Bible and once on the Mesha Stele from Moab. There is no ultimate agreement as to its exact meaning, and scholars have long been trying to deduce it from the different contexts it appears in. When used as a common noun, it has been translated as "tumors" (1 Samuel 5:9, 12; 6:5), and in a verbal form it was taken to mean "puffed up" (Habakkuk 2:4), this indicating that the root might be associated with "swelling". When referring to a place, it seems from the context to mean either hill, or fortified place, or a mixture of the two, i.e., a fortified hill, and by considering the presumed meaning of the root, it might signify a "bulging or rounded" fortification {'overhang or overlook'?}.

Found north of the road that led to the Valley of the Kings. The grave was not elaborate, just a shallow trench cut into the rock BELOW AN OVERHANG and masked from view by a group of boulders {'Elephant Island'?}.

On the Mesha Stele, named for the king of Moab who erected it, Mesha says: "I built Q-R-CH-H (? Karhah), the wall of ye'arim [forests], and the wall of ophel and I built its gates and I built its towers." Here ophel is commonly translated as "citadel". [Wiki].

Passing from 'death' to death. Slowly I free myself from them, till empty handed I come ready to serve you''

"I want to use this idea, 'Till empty handed I come, ready to serve you' to talk about the cycle of Saturn and its meaning. Because Saturn's orbit is roughly 28-30 years in length, and every seven to eight years there is a very strong Saturnian energy present, when in order to go forwards, we may need to look back {hindsight?}, like Janus, whom we mentioned."

  And/or: "Feelings increase in intensity by contagious and repetitive actions....And just as what is achieved in Cancer {the power of the ego} becomes the foundation of the subsequent phase of 'individual' growth {from Leo to Sagittarius}, likewise all truly 'social' activities develop out of what is achieved in Scorpio {the power of the group, including the simplest group of all: man-woman couple}. These social activities come to a consummation in Pisces, the sign of 'social' feelings and the symbol of time fulfilled. Here the cycle ends, but the end can be the foundation for a new beginning and the new departure in Aries must naturally come out of something. This ''something'' is the seed, the Last day of the preceding cycle Pisces, the pre-germinal or prenatal stage of all types of New Life, the act of stepping over the threshold of the New Life." [Page 181, 'The Zodiac as the Universal Matrix'].

A working example: ''The woundings of our lives can cause the withdrawal of substance, the leaching of our spirits {'leak at the seams'?}....'Wisdom through suffering', Sophocles said.....for it is the trials of wounding that all our immature or shadowed parts rise to meet us.....When i graduated from high school, my lessor selves - jubilant and inflated from a star-strewn adolescence - were just about ready for a spectacular fall....My college career began in one of the heavenly antechambers but proceeded gently downward, with occasional slight upturns until it plunged headlong into the most complete misery i had ever known. From this nadir, i rose again to a safe harbour in purgatory {'middle way'?}, until i finally graduated into a kind of redemption....but not before wounding had taken its toll....I discovered that the wounding pathos of our own local stories contains the seed of healing and of transformation....All myth, in fact, has wounding at its core....''

REFRESHER: "In Scorpio the individual is forced to touch bottom. He must be willing to surrender his individual uniqueness and individual prerogatives. As he does so, he descends in consciousness into the common root of the group. He learns to live in terms of humanity as a whole. In a sense this is symbolised by Christ's descent into 'hell'. Through such a descent the human depths are 'redeemed' - that is, they are made significant. They are given an individualised meaning and a conscious value by this descent of the individual...He is like a tree with a powerful tap-root, able to draw sustenance from the hidden springs of life...which are the foundation of human behaviour...Most individuals may go under, suffering and being overwhelmed, and failing to experience the 'miracle' in Scorpio. What this miracle is can be gathered from the epic recently written by Antoine de Saint-Exupery - 'Flight to Arras. It is the revelation of humanity to the individual {'grace' link?}...In this identification the individual finds his destiny and purpose.

The four planets Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and Venus are relatively easily recognizable. The planet Mars is not included in the actual grouping and at first sight seems to be missing in the map. However, one explanation is that Mars is represented in the Senenmut map as an empty boat in the west. This may refer to the fact that Mars was retrograde and was not with the other planets (indeed, being in the west in the 1534 BCE conjunction). The reason for the boat being empty is perhaps in this backward movement (a well known phenomenon to the Egyptians) the position of Mars was not considered to be concrete''

"The 'trapped asteroid' or 'planetoid' Chiron was first discovered in 1977 and remains a misfit in the solar system. Originating from the Kuiper Belt, which lies outside the orbit of Pluto, it is not known how long this visitor will remain with us. With an extremely elliptical orbit of 49-51 years, Chiron's astrological function appears to be to link the outer planets with the 'old world' planets, since it fluctuates almost as far from the Sun as Uranus, and yet it passes within the orbital sphere of Saturn." [Page 4-5 'Mapping the Psyche' / Vol.1].

Apophis being the Egyptian equivalent of that same 'negative' aspect. As 'speculated' on within 'The Hiram Key', by way of the Hyksos kings. Some say a link to the Babylonian Tiamat, 'goddess' of the oceans who mated with the 'god' of fresh water,[keys]. Think about it, especially in relation to Marduk, an aspect within the same. Dominance prevails... 'lower' over 'higher'. The 'Dragon' rules, [key].

Mother of Dragons? {Game of Thrones}.

Together with "The Dragon is an old glyph for 'Astral light' [primordial principle] which is the wisdom of Chaos", [page 73 'The Secret Doctrine'. Mentioned within]. Final link to the word 'lucifer'...the light bringer, a link to 'dawn' or the morning star.[Wikipedia]. That representation of a 'negative' [or unconscious,i.e.,unknown quantity], still has within it, a positive potential.

Benjem Stark with his flaming morning star? {Game of Thrones}.

Venus?

That negative however within Egyptian culture, has the positive overcoming the negative,[link to ma'at. Purpose of]... that u-turn made by way of 'Mehen' and 'Wadjet', that became; for the Egyptians; that ultimate positive symbol the 'Uraeus' and its relevance to the word Kingship. Those Twelve 'heads' that Apophis 'consumes' but are freed when Apophis is 'vanquished', [www.touregypt.net]...by way of those positive aspects represented by 'Mehen' and 'Wadjet' within the whole, i.e., Apophis [by way of 'Uraeus']... gives clues as to Freemasons symbolism of the 'legend' of Hiram Abif and its purpose with the candidate in mind.

Refresher: "The ancient ones of early eastern Christianity taught that, in relation to intruding thoughts, we should be so vigilant that as soon as they ''show there heads, like a serpent appearing through a hole, we must cut it off''! This is a potent use of the 'stop exercise' which is also meant to halt the entry and influence of ''I's'' that seek to claim our identity. The more you live in a more quiet inner place {an inner sanctuary} where features {negative ones?} cannot take over, the more you will see the difference between passing thoughts and feelings and your deeper self." ['Wisdom of the 4th Way'].

Side note: ''The wise Chinese  would say in the words of I Ching: When yang has reached its greatest strength, the dark power of yin is born within its depths, for night begins at MIDDAY when yang breaks up and begins to change into yin.'' [Page 13 'Alchemical Studies'].

Continued: Fifteen 'individuals',[aspects of self] go in search of Mr Abif,[possible potential of higher self] to get the secrets [keys] of becoming a 'master' [higher] mason. With 'murder',[sacrifice link] on 'their' minds. Twelve decide not to go through with it,['consumed'...with guilt? link to the twelve 'heads' and twelve in relation to thirteen.Think about it]. The three remaining do the dastardly deed, [negative over positive] but repent 'for their sins'?... later on. That about u-turn is now possible, a link to the rising Phoenix and death/rebirth symbolism, and/or Mehen/Wadjet in relation to Apophis. Remember what 'three'; is in the main; always symbolic of, i.e., "In order to follow an esoteric path it is not necessary to make a quantitative study of the doctrine; it is enough to know the essentials, which are centered on the nature of 'god' and the nature of man. The symbolism of the elementary numbers is always enlightening, and in this case it is the number three, which holds as it were the keys to understanding the relationship between the 'creator' and his human image. The presence of certain triads in the world, such as that of the primary colors is the proof of a triplicity in the Divine nature itself, the supreme 'Archetype' of all that exists". [Chapter five. 'The Eleventh Hour']. Recall those 'three' boulders at the lowest level at the temple on Elephant Island. Those three aspects [and what they represent] in relation to Lower / higher.

"Jews stationed at Elephantine in Egypt in the 5th century BC, worshiped Jehovah and his goddess Anat Jahu." [From the book by T. Freke and P.Gandy].

Side note: {something hinted at}: "After eating and exchanging impressions {those first ones?}, it seemed clear that each of us had been naturally drawn to a different section of the figure. Bedewyr to the right staff, Cai to the left; Gwalchmai to the very center torso, and I to the head. This unusual {'peculiar'?} difference seemed extraordinary to me, but Merlyn thought otherwise. He said it was the simple result of our being 'various aspects of the same thing' which was exactly why we were brought here in the first place." [Extract from one of the books by D. Monroe].

Continued: Analogy; with the same intent..."On an island there lived three hermits. They were so simple that the only prayer they used was: ''We art three; thou art three - have mercy on us!" Great 'miracles' were manifested during this naive prayer." [Extract from the book 'Autobiography of a Yogi' from a folk tale by Leo Tolstoy]. For a further head scratch - try ''grace'' [link to ''mercy''] before those first impressions tell the ''lower'' something else. Then try ''miracle'' - same reason.

'Menw - the Son of the Three Shouts'. {Eastern equivalent}?

And/or {i.e.,as seen from a different perspective - a different 'point/'angle' of view'} - "In Stephen Sondheim's musical 'Sunday in the Park with George', which is about the pointillist painter, George Seurat, the creation of beauty was described as a 'connection process'. Seurat was a master at organizing and connecting colored dots, creating beautiful images that humble us to this day. Sondheim reminds us of the importance of this process with his simple lyrics: 'Connect, George, connect'... In the process of reading this book, you will take part in a connective healing journey. Your mind and heart will be extended and united as Dr Pearl connects the dots of his life...The key to understanding this {new?} level of healing is the prefix ''re'' - i.e.,re-attending, re-connecting, re-regulating, re-ordering healing... " [From the book 'The Reconnection' by Dr E. Pearl].

Side note: ''The Sondheim Theatre (formerly the Queen's Theatre) is a West End theatre located in Shaftesbury Avenue on the corner of Wardour Street in the City of Westminster, London. It opened as the Queen's Theatre on 8 October 1907, as a twin to the neighbouring Hicks Theatre (now the Gielgud Theatre) which had opened ten months earlier. Both theatres were designed by W. G. R. Sprague. The theatre was Grade II listed by English Heritage in June 1972.^[1]

In 2019 the theatre's name was changed from the Queen's to the Sondheim Theatre (after Stephen Sondheim) after a 20 week refurbishment. The theatre reopened on 18 December 2019. The original plan was to name the venue the Central Theatre. However, after lengthy debate, it was named the Queen's Theatre and a portrait of Queen Alexandra was hung in the foyer.^[2]

The first production at the Queen's Theatre was a comedy by Madeleine Lucette Ryley called The Sugar Bowl. Although it was poorly received and ran for only 36 performances, the theatre received glowing reviews. The Stage on 10 October 1907 described the theatre as:

A two-tier house, the Queen's holds about 1200 persons, representing some £300 in money. The colour scheme of the walls and roof is white and gold, while green is the hue of the carpets, hangings and upholstery, and of the very charming velvet tableau curtain.

Continued: Understanding that universal framework {especially in relation to re-ligare} defines the above 'three' statements {i.e.,in relation to higher/lower} - as it does with...

Review: "In the Book of What is in the Dwat, the incarnation of the principle of light, stands in the boats cabin during the first six hours of the night, that is during the descent. For the reascent he stands in the coils of the serpent Mehen, whose name means 'spiralic', and who plays a role in the rebirth of the solar globe. Putting together such teachings, one can conceive that the 'sun's' regeneration occurs by virtue of the flux of spiral currents which ceaselessly precipitate and coagulate the impalpable cosmic substance...At the eleventh hour the regenerated solar globe is represented, for the first and only time in this Book, at the prow of a boat {Part 3}. It is drawn towards the Eastern gate of the sky by Mehen...In the twelfth hour in the middle register...This is the books apotheosis and can be understood in several ways.

Physically it is the glorious rebirth of the 'solar' globe, and is therefore the triumph of light over darkness...Spiritually...through multiple purifications, transforms the densest matter {Sarsen stones?} into a more subtle one {'Blue' ones?}...the conquest of shadowless light." [Extract from the book 'Egyptian Mysteries' - in relation to tombs at Thebes. Mentioned elsewhere].

Try ''Pure'' in all its forms. As a means....?

And/or: "All the prows {of boats} found within the tomb of Tut - point to the West." ['King Tut's Last Mission'' / Channel 5 / 08/02/2020].

Abydos in relation to Thebes. Question. Where would ''shadow'' be represented? Or what would it be represented by? Don't forget 'Part 3,' i.e.,try ''ship'' and/or ''plough'' and/or ''spiral''.

"Ploughing is repetitive work, furrow after furrow, furlong [a furrows length] after furlong. But now its time to stop work for a while, 'elevenses' as the English say, the time 11a.m.,called in Malay tulih tenggala, ''when the plough is idle''. [Quote taken from 'The Book of Babel'. Mentioned elsewhere].

11th Hour?

Apply {understand?} all the above to define the following:  "...The Sun is its 'father' the Moon its 'mother', the 'wind' hath carried it in its belly, the earth is its nurse. The 'father' of all perfection in the whole world is here. Its force or power is entire if it be converted into earth. Separate thou the 'earth' from the fire, the subtle from the gross sweetly with great industry. It ascends from the earth to the heaven and again it descends to the earth and receives the force of things 'superior' and 'inferior'. By this means you shall have the glory {''grace''?} of the whole world and thereby all obscurity shall 'fly' from you. Its force is above all force. For it vanquishes every subtle thing and penetrates every solid thing. So was the world created...Hence i am called Hermes Trismegist, having the three parts the philosophy of the 'whole' world. That which i have said of the operation of the 'Sun' is accomplished and ended." " ['Emerald Tablet].

Follow the title to define {keys?} - in its broader {worldly?} context.

The 'nurse' of Bran Stark? {Game of Thrones}. After all - she can tell a 'bloody' good story can't she? [Series 1. Episode 3].

A {working?} example: "The furious fighting {''struggle''?} that continues in Book 11 gives possibly the most comprehensive conceptual chart of the constellations of the night sky in the entire Iliad. Constellations identified with Greek warriors are: Leo, Perseus, Argo Navis, Lyra, Eridanus, Orhiuchus and Bootes - and those of the Trojans are Ursa Major, Virgo, Orion, Aquarius, Equuleus, and Serpens Caput..." ['Homer's Secret Iliad' / Page 111].

SIDE NOTE: "This is what the legend means when it says that each star is a soul. This is the meaning of the five-pointed star, symbol of man..." [Her-Bak'].

'Mans Search for Meaning' / Viktor Frankl.

And/or "The eleven pairs of horses to which Homer refers {i.e.,Pandarus,i.e.'In my father's stable there are eleven excellent chariots, fresh from the builder, quite new, with cloths spread over them; and by each of them there stand a pair of horses, champing barley and rye'} - are the twenty two {11+11?} stars of Sagittarius {the astronomical home of Pandarus and his father} and contiguous Corona Australis {Pandarus quiver}. The 'barley' and 'rye' they are eating are common Homeric codewords and indicate that the stars are set against the background of the Milky Way; the chariots cannot be seen for they are covered with 'cloths' {'wollen' ones?}. It will never be known who made the first study of this corner of the sky, but they were expert enough to observe that twenty two stars could be 'paired' according to their brightness or magnitude..." [Same book].

Sheep decans?

Question. To which of the two {i.e.,Greek / Trojan} does the constellation Sagittarius 'belong' to. And why?

Question 2. Any relevance to the 22 letters of say, the Hebrew alphabet?

Side note: "Achilles {'Canis Major'} has a trio of fine horses...Two of the horses, Xanthus and Balius are 'immortal' and mark stars in the Milky Way. Pedasus is 'mortal' and, although said to be every bit as as good as the immortal pair, his star is just outside the Milky Way. The configuration of these makes the familiar triangle of one of Homer's chariots." [Same book].

N.B. ''Transcendent third'' link - in reverse - i.e.,top/down. 'See' it? Understanding that defines ''horses'' in relation to say, ''bulls''.

Refresher:"This is what the legend means when it says that each star is a soul. This is the meaning of the five-pointed star, symbol of man..." [Her-Bak']. Try ''Krishna'' for something extra to ponder on.

Something extra: ''On July 4, 1187, the Crusaders were defeated definitively in the Horns of Hattin. The Holy Land returned to the hands of the Muslims. Christian holy places started falling into oblivion, and their destiny was abandonment and deterioration.

One hundred years after the Muslim conquest, a German Dominican friar called Burchard of Mount Zion, passed by the plain of Gennesaret {'Garden of the Prince'}. He testified that the Magdalene’s house was preserved in “Magdalum”. Burchard was able to find the house and visit it, but he does not mention the state he found it. A decade later, in 1294, Ricoldus de Monte Crucis left in writing the impression he took when he saw the church of Magdala: “We arrived at Magdalum, the village of Mary Magdalene, next to Lake Gennesaret. There we cried and mourned because we found a beautiful church that, although was not destroyed, had been transformed into a stable. There we sang and preached about the Gospel of the Magdalene”. We must confess that Ricoldus’ text is not entirely clear, and perhaps, instead of “transformed into a stable”, we should translate it to “blocked with planks”. In any case, the reaction of these pilgrims confirms that the Church of the Magdalene was already in such a state, that ripped away tears from those present.'' ['A Church in SAD Condition' / Magdala / Israel].

1294 will be the year in which, for the last time, a Church in Magdala is mentioned. It will be necessary to wait until 2014 to see again Christian pilgrims raising their voices to God in a church in Magdala. And this time they will no longer sing dirges, but hymns of JOY.''

N.B. ''Prince'' = 'elephant' link?

And/or: ''The name may originate from the Hebrew word kinnor ("harp" or "lyre") - which the lake's shape resembles. It has also been called the Lake of Gennesaret or the Sea of Gennesaret ( Luke 5:1) after the name of a small fruitful plain which lies on its western side.''

"Tabgha (Arabic: الطابغة, al-Tabigha; Hebrew: עין שבע, Ein Sheva which means "spring of seven") is an area situated on the north-western shore of the Sea of Galilee in Israel and a depopulated Palestinian village. It is traditionally accepted as the place of the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves and fishes (Mark 6:30-46) and the fourth resurrection appearance of Jesus (John 21:1-24) after his Crucifixion. The village population was expelled in 1948 during Operation Broom....The site's name is derived from the Greek name Heptapegon ("seven springs"). The name was later shortened to "Tapego", and was eventually changed to "Tabgha" in Arabic."

A change of pace; but along a similar path {i.e.,'Freemasonry'}: "The genuine 'secrets' of the order, we are told, have been lost, and substituted secrets are in their place until such time as the true ones will be found." Together with " The stylised death and resurrection of the candidate is the act of making one a 'master' mason." [Emphasis this readers.Chapter one.' Hiram Key' /Knight and Lomas]. Those Twelve heads because of that positive 'effort' are now 'released'. Apophis has been vanquished. Positive over negative, by way of those three aspects, of the now higher self...from which a new awareness 'dawns'. Represented by the morning star...Sirius, [the dog star]. Chapter one, same book. Something 'lost' is now found. I.e., No scrolls will be 'found' under Rosslyn chapel, because that ''understanding'' becomes ''that which was lost is now found''. Question. Which came first...The 'Constellations' or the Mythology associated with them, or the intention of both.... and why?

Venus?

Question. ''Serpent'' = 'middle ground' ?

"There is a further maverick item concerning the Pleiades. As already mentioned, this constellation consists of six readily discernible stars and one considerably fainter. Particularly in Europe and Asia there are many different legends which 'account' for this situation. A typical story tells how one of the sisters lost her 'virginity', and in her shame hid her light from her companions. P. E. and G. D. Considine write as follows in this connection: 'Of the seven stars one is at present distinctly fainter than the other six, and there are many myths regarding this so called lost Pleiad. In fact the myths occur in so many ancient literature's that there is a well established theory that at one time all seven of the stars were approximately of the same brightness.' Other authors add 'It is remarkable that so many nations speak of them as seven sisters when only six are clearly visible. All the legends therefore have a postscript to account for the missing seventh." [Chapter 4 from the book by S. Gooch]. Recall what ''virginity'' implies.

Side note: "The hebdomad is the only number within the decad {apart from the monad} which neither generates nor is generated by another number within the decad; hence it is called by Pythagoreans ''virgin, not born of mother''.....Moreover, the hebdomad consisting of the dimensions and the four limits makes manifest corporeality and organic life. The limits are point, line, plane, solid; the dimensions are length, breadth, depth." [Page 186 'Alexandria' Vol 3. / D. Fideler].

"...the Virgin Mary was venerated by the medieval church and is still veneraterd by Catholics today, as virgin in our modern sense of the word, even though it is recognised by tradition that she bore carnal children to Joseph after the virgin birth of her Eldest Son, and is also hailed in Latin hymns as spouse as well as mother of her son. These things would form a flagrant contradiction or require an impossible miracle, if they were to be taken as true on the objective plane. If, however, we recognise religious concepts as symbolic and interpret these contradictions psychologically we realise that the term ''virginity'' must refer to a quality, to a subjective state, a psychological attitude, not to a physiological or external fact." [Chapter 8, from the book by the author M. Esther Harding]. Put ''quality'' in the box.

The real question however that the reader should ask of him/her self is the usual one.
