pair of glyphs in
line Ba6, because here Al-Minhar-al-Asad (the Nose of the
Lion) and Al-phard could be seen at the Full Moon and
the Sun should consequently be at Sad-al-sud:

manik, with the tzab, or serpent's
rattles as prefix, runs across Madrid tz. 22 ,
the figures in the pictures all holding the
rattle; it runs across the hunting scenes of
Madrid tz. 61, 62, and finally appears in all
four clauses of tz. 175, the so-called 'baptism'
tzolkin. It seems impossible, with all this, to
avoid assigning the value of grasping or
receiving. But in the final confirmation, we
have the direct evidence of the signs for East
and West. For the East we have the glyph
Ahau-Kin, the Lord Sun, the Lord of Day; for
the West we have Manik-Kin, exactly
corresponding to the term Chikin, the
biting or eating of the Sun, seizing it in the
mouth.
The pictures (from Gates) show
east, north, west, and south; respectively (the
lower two glyphs) 'Lord' (Ahau) and
'grasp' (Manik). Manik was the 7th

the specific manner of cookery which
involves the pit oven. The suggestion in the

method; it is but an attempt more precisely
to describe the kitchen method, a very tasty
cookery, be it said. The suggestion of
boiling is found only in Tahiti, yet in his
dictionary Bishop Jaussen does not record it
under the word bouillir;
boiling was little known to the Polynesians
before the European introduction of pottery
and other fire-resisting utensils ...

All Hearts' Day |
... On
February 9 the Chorti Ah K'in,
'diviners', begin the agricultural year.
Both the 260-day cycle and the solar year
are used in setting dates for religious and
agricultural ceremonies, especially when
those rituals fall at the same time in both
calendars. The ceremony begins when the
diviners go to a sacred spring where they
choose five stones with the proper shape and
color. These stones will mark the five
positions of the sacred cosmogram created by
the ritual. When the stones are brought back
to the ceremonial house, two diviners start
the ritual by placing the stones on a table
in a careful pattern that reproduces the
schematic of the universe. At the same time,
helpers under the table replace last year's
diagram with the new one. They believe that
by placing the cosmic diagram under the base
of God at the center of the world they
demonstrate that God dominates the universe.
The priests place the stones in a very
particular order. First the stone that
corresponds to the sun in the eastern,
sunrise position of summer solstice is set
down; then the stone corresponding to the
western, sunset position of the same
solstice. This is followed by stones
representing the western, sunset position of
the winter solstice, then its eastern,
sunrise position. Together these four stones
form a square. They sit at the four corners
of the square just as we saw in the Creation
story from the Classic period and in the
Popol Vuh. Finally, the center stone is
placed to form the ancient five-point sign
modern researchers called the quincunx

... Midsummer is the flowering season of the
oak, which is the tree of endurance and
triumph, and like the ash is said to 'court
the lightning flash'. Its roots are believed
to extend as deep underground as its
branches rise in the air - Virgil mentions
this - which makes it emblematic of a god
whose law runs both in Heaven and in the
Underworld ... The month, which takes its
name from Juppiter the oak-god, begins on
June 10th and ends of July 7th. Midway comes
St. John's Day, June 24th, the day on which
the oak-king was sacrificially burned alive.
The Celtic year was divided into two halves
with the second half beginning in July,
apparently after a seven-day wake, or
funeral feast, in the oak-king's honour

there are two main ideas behind the symbolism of hei-tiki:
they are either memorials to ancestors, or represent the

Because of the connection with

woman by her husband's family if she was having trouble

Oti, 'Go and take the hauhau

two kinds of cockroaches makere and
hata.'
... The division into quarters of a
28-series can be applied to the main phases
of the moon during the visible period as was
as to a (reflex of the old world?) sidereal
month.
The separate subgroup (29 makere - 30
hata) consists of the names of two
types of cockroaches, but in related eastern
Polynesian languages these names can also be
explained on a different level. MAO.
makere, among others, 'to die', and
whata, among others, 'to be laid to rest
on a platform', deserve special attention.
The theme hinted at is one of death
and burial. In our scheme they occur at just
that time when the moon 'has died'! This
lends further support to the lunar thesis.

Atu. Particle of
meaning opposite to that of mai; it
refers to the second or third person,
expressing movement away: ka-avai-atu,
give it to him: he-oho-atu au, I
am going there, after you; i-oho-atu-era,

morning star; hetu'u ahiahi evening star; hetu'u viri
meteorite. Vanaga Hetu 1. Star (heetuu);
hetu rere, meteor; hetu pupura,

id. Ta.: fetu, fetia, id. The
alternative form fetia in Tahiti, now
the only one in common use, need not be
regarded as an anomaly in mutation. It seems
to derive from Paumotu fetika, a
planet. Its introduction into Tahiti is due
to the fashion of accepting Paumotu vocables
which arose when the house of Pomare
came into power. 2. Capital letter (? he

If the moral
attitudes of primitive man are hard for the
Western mind to grasp and translate into
familiar terms, there can hardly be one more
so than the Maori notion of cooked food as
the lowest thing, the furthest opposite to
the sacred, in fact filthy.
For us to divest our
minds of Christian notions of good and evil
and substitute the concept of simple
payment, harm for harm (or 'revenge', as we
commonly call it with a misleading moral
overtone), is simple enough - perhaps
because every schoolchild has at some time
known the latter in his horrid heart. Even
the Maori custom of weeping over friends
when they arrive instead of when they depart
has a certain logic that is not beyond our
comprehension. But to enter, against all
conditioning, into the minds of a people for
whom cooked food and the act of eating could
carry the overtones of meaning that we in
our greater wisdom attach to their physical
opposites and to sex, is a good deal harder.
One has somehow to throw the mind into a
state of being that is radically unlike
ours. Yet if the trick can be done, a light
comes on ... |

The rongorongo text tells us that the end of February
was connected to March 1, when η Carinae was at the
right ascension line of the Full Moon.
... The leap day was introduced as part of the
Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia
(February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis
sextum - literally 'double sixth', since
February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of
March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was
the 'first day') ...
In the Golden Age of the Bull this would have happended
in day number 19 * 19 = 361 (*281). At the time of
rongorongo the precession of the Sun had turned the
starry dome ahead in the year so the position of *281 now had been given to Vega.
*162 (η Carinae) - *64 = *98 = *281 (Vega) - *183.
Anciently (before adopting the Sun calendar) the top
star in the north had been located at the other side of the
pole compared to Polaris.

... When this tremendous task had been
accomplished Atea took a third husband, Fa'a-hotu,
Make Fruitful. Then occurred a curious event. Whether
Atea had wearied of bringing forth offspring we are not
told, but certain it is that Atea and her husband
Fa'a-hotu exchanged sexes. Then the [male] eyes of
Atea glanced down at those of his wife Hotu and
they begat Ru. It was this Ru who explored the
whole earth and divided it into north, south, east, and west

Although the development takes a drastic turn at Denebola (→
deneb ola → end of life) a 3rd week will follow before we
can reach to the end of line Ba7, i.e. to where the Full Moon
could be seen at the Southern Cross with the Black Raven, the
place where the Dry Old Sun would be taken care of, grasped
by the waiting hand at the horizon in the west.
... The Celtic year was divided into two
halves with the second half beginning in July, apparently
after a seven-day wake, or funeral feast, in the oak-king's
honour
...
Varu. 1. To cut
one's hair (te puoko). 2. To shave. 3. To paint, to
put on make-up: he varu te kiea. Varu a-roto,
to have diarrhoea. Vanaga. 1. Eight. 2. To shave, to remove
the beard, to shear, to clip, to rasp, a plane. Varuvaru,
to peel, to remove the bark, to plane, to scrape, to shear.
Churchill.
Varua. Spirit,
soul; sleep, dream. This is a Tahitian word, but the same
term may have been used in ancient times. Vanaga.
In Bierbach the accumulated evidence
connected varua with mummification and how the hair
was removed (varu), the body fluids drained (varu
a-roto) and after a period of 2 months it was make-up
time (he varu te kiea): ... Embalming is known and
practised with surprising skill in one particular family of
chiefs. Unlike the Egyptian method, as described by
Herodotus, it is performed in Samoa exclusively by women.
The viscera being removed and buried, they, day after day,
anoint the body with a mixture of oil and aromatic juices.
To let the fluids escape, they continue to puncture the body
all over with fine needles. In
about two months, the process of desiccation is completed.
The hair, which had been cut and laid aside at the
commencement of the operation, is now glued carefully on to
the scalp by a resin from the bush. The abdomen is filled up
with folds of native cloth; the body is wrapped up with
folds of the same material, and laid out on a mat, leaving
the hands, face, and head exposed ...
From which
observations it could be deduced that in the Gregorian Sun
calendar it was now the complementary situation - viz. the
Sun had to be at the 2nd Spout. Thus the last glyph in line Ba7
probably illustrates what could be seen at the Full Moon.

Toa
'Canne à sucre en fleur'
(blooming sugar cane) is the explanation
given by Bishop Jaussen (according to
Barthel):
Die in den
Metorogesängen oft vorkommende Benennung
der Zeichen 65 bzw. 66 als toa
wurde von Jaussen auf das Zuckerrohr
bezogen; eine Auffassung, die keine Stütze
in den Tafeltexten findet.
Berücksichtigt man aber, daß die
Metorogesänge phonetisch nicht immer
ganz exakt niedergeschrieben wurden, so
findet man eine sinnvolle Lösung, wenn
man zwischen tôa
und to'a
underscheidet: Das erste Wort bedeutet
Zuckerrohr, das zweite dagegen Feind,
Mörder.
Englert
1948, 503: 'caña
de azucar' bzw. 'enemigo; asesino'.
Ferner: he to'a o te îka, el
que ha dado muerte a una persona'. |

... Ishtar,
scorned, goes up to heaven in a rage, and extracts
from Anu the promise that he will send down the Bull
of Heaven to avenge her. The Bull descends, awesome
to behold. With his first snort he downs a hundred
warriors. But the two heroes tackle
him. Enkidu takes hold of him by
the tail, so that Gilgamesh as espada can
come in between the horns for the kill. The artisans
of the town admire the size of those horns: 'thirty
pounds was their content of lapis lazuli'.
(Lapis lazuli is the color sacred to Styx, as we
have seen. In Mexico it is turquoise.) Ishtar
appears on the walls of Uruk and curses the two
heroes who have shamed her, but Enkidu tears out the
right thigh of the Bull of Heaven and flings it in
her face, amidst brutal taunts. It seems to be part
of established procedure in those circles. Susanowo
did the same to the sun-goddess Amaterasu, and so
did Odin the Wild Hunter to the man who stymied him.
A scene of popular triumph and rejoicings follows.
But the gods have decided that Enkidu must die, and
he is warned by a somber dream after he falls sick.
The composition of the epic has been hitherto
uncouth and repetitious and, although it remains
repetitious, it becomes poetry here. The despair and
terror of Gilgamesh at watching the death of his
friend is a more searing scene than Prince Gautama's
'discovery' of mortality. 'Hearken unto me, O
elders, (and give ear) unto me! // It is for
Enk(idu), my friend, that I weep, // Crying bitterly
like unto a wailing woman // (My friend), my
(younger broth)er (?), who chased // the wild ass of
the open country (and) the panther of the steppe. //
Who seized and (killed) the bull of heaven; // Who
overthrew Humbaba, that (dwelt) in the (cedar)
forest - ! // Now what
sleep is this that has taken hold of (thee)? // Thou
hast become dark and canst not hear (me)'. // But he
does not lift (his eyes). // He touched his heart,
but it did not beat. // Then he veiled (his) friend
like a bride (...) // He lifted his voice like a
lion // Like a lioness robbed of (her) whelps ...
'When I die, shall I not be like unto Enkidu? //
Sorrow has entered my heart // I am afraid of death
and roam over the desert ... // (Him the fate of
mankind has overtaken) // Six days and seven nights
I wept over him //
Until the worm fell on his
face. // How can I be silent? How can I be quiet? //
My friend, whom I loved, has turned to clay' ... |
