Ba8.4
The Phoenix symbolized the return to life from the
ashes - a valuable experience from slash-and-burn
agriculture.
... Myths all over the world agree on the
general scenario. Cinderella hides in the corner where the old
fire has turned into ashes, but she has a magic stick - inside
which is gold

... 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

This great agricultural phenomenon was reflected in death
and rebirth as an
integral part of human nature.
... 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 - !
Fire and
ashes were complementary just as life and death. When Raven -

sandalwood was tied to the arm with which the victorious birdman
held up the egg of the sooty tern ...

... And since that day, Raven has never been
bored. In fact, at times he has almost regretted bringing the
first men and women together. From the strong muscles of the
clam and the soft lips of the Chiton, from the pairing of these
first people came the first families. Children were born, some
strong and male, some soft and female. Many generations have
been born, have grown and flourished, have built and created or
fought and destroyed. Many have blamed the Raven for playing a
terrible joke on humanity, for often men and women just barely
get along, but somehow from this strange combination of reason
and intuition, of muscle and emotion arose that which was needed
for the race to survive the storms of life on the shores
