at the back side, and this idea was evidently transmitted down
through the millenia:

225 (August 13) - 64 = 161 (JUNE
10): 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 ...

when they arrive instead of when they depart has a
certain logic that is not beyond our comprehension

The figure in Ba2-29 presumably meant a new season was
arriving, because here Metoro began with a new
Capital (Head).
Half a year (182 glyphs) later (72 + 182 = 254) we ought once again
to find Nashira and Algiedi, but this time visible
close to the Full Moon. February 12 (43) + 182 = 225 (August

Mg., Tongareva: tao,
to bake in an oven ... The word refers to the
specific manner of cookery which involves the
pit oven. The suggestion in the Maori,
therefore, does not mean a different 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 ... Churchill 2.

... In China, with
Capricornus, Pisces, and a part of Sagittarius,

Turtle, Tien Yuen; and later was known as
Hiuen Ying, the Dark Warrior and Hero, or
Darkly Flourishing One, the Hiuen Wu, or
Hiuen Heaou, of the Han dynasty, which
Dupuis gave as Hiven Mao. It was a symbol
of the emperor Tchoun Hin, in whose reign
was a great deluge; but after the Jesuits came
in it became Paou Ping, the Precious
Vase. It contained three of the sieu, and headed
the list of zodiac signs as the Rat,
which in the far East was the ideograph for
'water', and still so remains in the almanacs of
Central Asia, Cochin China, and Japan

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

At a certain time in the year they buried (tanu) the 'dead
lizard'. This custom seems to have originated somewhere
north of the equator, presumably when it had been the day after
the Julian spring equinox according to the era of
Bharani (in "March 25, 3-25)
- which was in the day after the Sun had risen together with
the Medusa star (Algol). There were 126 days (→
May 6) from the last item (= the Virgin's Girdle =
Spica) in the Babylonian list of
Ecliptic Constellations to Nashira at the beginning
of the list.
And south of the equator (on Easter Island) the event
ought currently to have taken place in November 4, i.e.
in the day after the Medusa Head had been at the Full Moon.
