RIGEL
The last place located in the old homeland - Whip (Lamed, Λ,12 → 7 + 5)
should according to the illustration of Hevelius be in the left hand of the half-god (not immortal) Castor (Fiber) - half of him was in the shadows.
Castor was the one who created lakes (ponds) in order to build housing for his families. In a way he was therefore the Lord of the Lake (Lord of Penllyn).
... Although the voice of Man and his Drum will carry influence not only over other men but also over the Gods and all their other Created Beings, there will always be some who are stubborn or deaf. Therefore it will be useful to carry a big stick (for the males) or a whip (for the women) ... And, we should remember, Castor indicated 'the primordial homeland': ... That there is a whirlpool in the sky is well known, it is most probably the essential one, and it is precisely located. It is a group of stars so named (zalos) at the foot of Orion, close to Rigel (beta Orionis, Rigel being the Arabic word for 'foot'), the degree of which was called 'death', according to Hermes Trismegistos, whereas the Maori claim outright that Rigel marked the way to Hades (Castor indicating the primordial homeland) ...
To be more precise we should here lean on the star named the Whip (viz. γ Cassiopeiae) located 4 days after her Breast (α Cassiopeiae). This star rose with the Sun in April 2. ... The tradition preserved by Hyginus in his Poetic Astronomy that the constellation Capricorn ('He-goat') was Zeus's foster-brother Aegipan, the Kid of the Goat Amalthea whose horn Zeus also placed among the stars, shows that Zeus was born at mid-winter when the Sun entered the house of Capricorn ... The text on side a of the G tablet was beginning later than April 2 and we should therefore take a look late in the text on side b.
... Day 214 ↔ 2-14, February 14 ↔ *214 (October 21) ...
The transition phase up from the Golden Age of the Bull to the current state in Pisces seems to have been brought about by the 'channel' of Musca Borealis in Aries. For instance can we count from JANUARY 22 up to March 27 (22 + 64 = 86) by way of "February 14 (All Hearts' Day) = 22 + 23 = 45 = 86 - 41.
... From a religious point of view, the high regard for flies, whose increase or reduction causes a similar increase or reduction in the size of the human population, is interesting, even more so because swarms of flies are often a real nuisance on Easter Island, something most visitors have commented on in vivid language. The explanation seems to be that there is a parallel relationship between flies and human souls, in this case, the souls of the unborn. There is a widespread belief throughout Polynesia that insects are the embodiment of numinous beings, such as gods or the spirits of the dead, and this concept extends into Southeast Asia, where insects are seen as the embodiment of the soul ...
... Then King Matua said to Hotu, 'You must not forget [he mee o rehu] the flies [te takaure] when you take along (all the things that are necessary) and sail off. If you forget the flies [ana rehu i a koe te takaure], the multitude (piere) of the people will disappear [he ngaro]. When you reach the land [ana tomo ki runga.ki tou kainga] to which you are travelling [ena koe ka oho], it will be over quickly (?) for the multitude of the people. When the flies die [ana moko te ihu o te takaure], the human population dies too [he moko tokoa te ihu o tou piere tangata].' [E:57]
