Ba5.8
Once again. In the Chinese map over the significant stars
marking the path of the Sun there was a Grey
Tiger stretching out (cfr Mebsuta, Outstretched,
ε Gemini, *100) his Right Front Paw towards the
Right Wing of the Red Summer Bird. The head of this Tiger was at
Orion and the beak of this Bird was at Gemini:
The narrow Tail of the Tiger has it dark tip at the Sirrah (0h) corner
(tara) of the Pegasus House.
Although by spreading out his hind legs wide apart we could be
inclined to believe his right hind leg was his fat tail.
However, the Chinese 6th
station was not at the Tail of the Grey Tiger but at
the opposite side of the sky, viz. at the
Tail of the Blue Dragon. Let's add heliacal stars in
order to get a more detailed picture:

... Väinömöinen, 'sage and
truthful', conjurer of highest standing, is cast
upon the shore of Pohjola, much as Odysseus lands on
Skyra after his shipwreck. He is received hospitably
by Louhi, the Mistress (also called the Whore) of
Pohjola, who asks him to build for her the Sampo,
without explanation. He
tells her that only Ilmarinen, the primeval smith,
can do it, so she sends Väinömöinen home on a ship
to fetch him. Ilmarinen, who adresses his 'brother'
and boon [good, maitaki] companion rather
flippantly as a liar and vain chatterer, is not
interested in the prospect, so Väinömöinen, ancient
of days and wise among the wise, has recourse to an
unworthy trick.
He lures the smith with a story
of a tall pine [hardly a 'pine', instead 'spruce',
gran, as in the Swedish translation from the
original Finnish text], which, he says, it growing
Near where Osmo's field is
bordered. // On the crown the moon is shining. // In
the boughs the Bear is resting.
Ilmarinen does not believe him;
they both go there, to the edge of Osmo's field,
Then the smith his steps arrested, // In
amazement at the pine-tree, // With the Great Bear
in the branches, // And the moon upon its summit
...

... The beginning of the B text at the 'Gate of the Goat'
was 74 right ascension days back in time-space, and we can
therefore count 321 (November 17) - 74 (Haedus I) = 247
(Ba5-9) ...
... 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 ...

expressions Tonga, Kona, Toa (Sam.,

wind, between the south and west, and Tokelau,
Toerau, Koolau (Sam., Haw., Tah.), to indicate
the opposite directions from north to east - expressions
universal throughout Polynesia, and but little modified by
subsequent local circumstances - point strongly to a former
habitat in lands where the regular monsoons prevailed.
Etymologically 'Tonga', 'Kona', contracted

setting', seil. of the sun. 'Toke-lau', of which the
other forms are merely dialectical variations, signifies

spoke, and the Dormouse followed him: the March Hare moved into
the Dormouse's place, and Alice rather unwillingly took the
place of the March Hare. The Hatter was the only one who got any
advantage from the change; and Alice was a good deal worse off
than before, as the March Hare had just upset the milk-jug into
his plate ...
