Ba5.4

Thus we can now perceive how the 'Claws' of the Libra Balance may have influenced the design of the peculiar glyphs after the 21h culmination of Porrima:

The ancient custom was like this: the novice fisherman would go to a hakanonoga; if he didn't catch anything, another fisherman would give him fishes to make him happy so he'd go again one day to the hakanonoga (more distant fishing zones where larger fishes are found).

Day 168 counted from Haedus I (*75) = *242, where the Breast of Cassiopeia culminated (at 21h), i.e. in November 18 (322).

This day we should recall from the view on Hawaii, because 322 + 33 = 355 (December 21, solstice):

... in the ceremonial course of the coming year, the king is symbolically transposed toward the Lono pole of Hawaiian divinity ... It need only be noticed that the renewal of kingship at the climax of the Makahiki coincides with the rebirth of nature. For in the ideal ritual calendar, the kali'i battle follows the autumnal appearance of the Pleiades, by thirty-three days - thus precisely, in the late eighteenth century, 21 December, the winter solstice. The king returns to power with the sun. Whereas, over the next two days, Lono plays the part of the sacrifice. The Makahiki effigy is dismantled and hidden away in a rite watched over by the king's 'living god', Kahoali'i or 'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one who is also known as 'Death-is-Near' (Koke-na-make). Close kinsman of the king as his ceremonial double, Kahoali'i swallows the eye of the victim in ceremonies of human sacrifice ...

At a winter solstice there is a 'change of sex' - the Sun has descended to his point of nadir and then he will like a rubber ball bounce back again into rising anew.

The Arabs evidently indicated this type of phenomenon at Cancer, where a change of direction was illustrated at 8h:

Also Cancer had claws. 8h (Ga2-27) - 4h (Ba5-5) = 4h (= 4 * 60 min). 60 was the number corresponding to 10 for the Babylonians.

Regor = Roger spelled backwards can be understood as a sign of how in Cancer there was a place of re-turning:

... Men's spirits were thought to dwell in the Milky Way between incarnations. This conception has been handed down as an Orphic and Pythagorean tradition fitting into the frame of the migration of the soul. Macrobius, who has provided the broadest report on the matter, has it that souls ascend by way of Capricorn, and then, in order to be reborn, descend again through the 'Gate of Cancer'. Macrobius talks of signs; the constellations rising at the solstices in his time (and still in ours) were Gemini and Sagittarius: the 'Gate of Cancer' means Gemini ...

... Three stones are needed in order to keep a fire for cooking, and the form of the Cancer constellation looks like the Greek letter lambda, but also as the Chinese sign for Man. What distinguishes the human creature from all the rest is the ability to use fire ...

... Gamma Velorum (γ Vel, γ Velorum) is a star system in the constellation Vela. At magnitude +1.7, it is one of the brightest stars in the night sky. It has the traditional names Suhail and Suhail al Muhlif, which confusingly also apply to Lambda Velorum. It also has a more modern popular name Regor, which was invented as a practical joke by the Apollo 1 astronaut Gus Grissom for his fellow astronaut Roger Chaffee. Due to the exotic nature of its spectrum (bright emission lines in lieu of dark absorption lines) it is also dubbed the 'Spectral Gem of Southern Skies' ...

... And then she looked in her hand, she inspected it right away, but the bone's saliva wasn't in her hand. It is just a sign I have given you, my saliva, my spittle. This, my head, has nothing on it - just bone, nothing of meat. It's just the same with the head of a great lord: it's just the flesh that makes his face look good. And when he dies, people get frightened by his bones. After that, his son is like his saliva, his spittle, in his being, whether it be the son of a lord or the son of a craftsman, an orator. The father does not disappear, but goes on being fulfilled. Neither dimmed nor destroyed is the face of a lord, a warrior, craftsman, an orator. Rather, he will leave his daughters and sons. So it is that I have done likewise through you. Now go up there on the face of the earth; you will not die. Keep the word. So be it, said the head of One and Seven Hunaphu - they were of one mind when they did it ...
