We began this excursion by looking at Saturday:
From the position of view now established it is clear that in Hb9-56 the birth of a new period (i.e. next week) is announced, or rather secured by way of the moon canoe. At the cardinal points, i.e. also at the change from one week to the next, man and moon must help with the 'birth' of next 'season'. At solstices sun threatens to remain still, at equinoxes he threatens to move too fast. The end of the week is like winter solstice - sun must be 'kicked' in order for Sunday to come. |
