Venus as morning star in spring should reasonably be associated with green (as the colour of old copper) and I have tried to paint the numbers with 'planetary colours' - beginning with Mercury corresponding to number 1. Odin (as in Swedish Onsdag, the day of Odin - Wednesday) initially had a pair of eyes, but he sacrificed one of them (and in Russian odin means one).

... the Chaldean astrologers introduced the 7-day week which has come down into the present. The number was convenient because the seers recognized seven planets: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury and the Moon, each of which governed one hour of the day. If, for illustration, Saturn ruled the first hour of a certain day followed by each of the 'planets' in turn, he also ruled the eighth, fifteenth, and twenty-second hours. Jupiter was lord of the second, ninth, sixteenth, and twenty-third hours; Mars presided over the third, tenth, seventeenth, and twenty-fourth hours, and the Sun took charge of the first hour of the succeeding day. Since the planet which ruled the first hour gave his name to the entire day, Sunday thus followed Saturn-day, and this was the way the names of the days of the week came into existence out of ancient Chaldean astrology ... (Makemson)

In my order for the planets Mercury (Quickly Running Silver) is at the beginning. French Mercredi means Wednesday - the day for turning down (hakaturu).

It was only the Mad Hatter who benefitted from moving one pace ahead at the table.

... Mercury was used in the process of curing pelts used in some hats, making it impossible for hatters to avoid inhaling the mercury fumes given off during the hat making process; hatters and mill workers thus often suffered mercury poisoning, causing neurological damage, including confused speech and distorted vision ... (Wikipedia)

The first emperor of China (Shih Huang Ti) had an enormous subterranean palace built for him as a proper place for his burial. It has been described in detail, and the ceiling (cfr French ciel, sky) was like the night sky with all its stars, whereas the floor was submerged under liquid mercury (reflecting the stars above). The beginning was at the bottom and at the top was the end. And recent archeological excavations at Teotihuacan, under the pyramid of Quetzal Coatl (the Serpent with feathers from the Quetzal bird), have revealed a similar subterranean lake filled with mercury.

Moving ahead in the week Thursday (the day of Jupiter, the Oak Door) will be next. However, we know Mercury was later in the Babylonian cosmogram than Jupiter. Mercury was between 'straw' (Furrow) and 'leaf' (Frond) in Virgo and Jupiter was at the head of the Lion (and at the feathered wings of the Serpent). But if the beginning was in Virgo, then Jupiter should be at the end, leaving a dark time until the next beginning. For instance, 472 (= 8 * 59) - 399 (circuit of Jupiter) = 73 (= 365 / 5).

I guessed Father Light (Jupiter) was followed by his (?) little son Mercury which in turn would grow up to become the next ruler.

Regulus, The Little King, α Leonis, at the heart of the Lion, came after the head of the Lion. Therefore blue (as the sky) could be a common colour for them. The colour of Tin, for Jupiter, was equally impractical as the colour of the silvery Mercury, and for the Moon white (cfr The White Goddess by Robert Graves) was quite impossible against a white background.

... The little spring was concealed by a succulent growth of strange plants, bearing gigantic leaves and pendant clusters of long yellow fruit, which she named bananas. The intervening space was filled with a luxuriant growth of slender stems and twining vines, of which she called the former sugar-cane and the latter yams; while all around the house were growing little shrubs and esculent roots, to each one of which she gave an appropriate name. Then summoning her little boy, she bade him gather the breadfruit and bananas, and, reserving the largest and best for the gods, roasted the remainder in the hot coals, telling him that in the future this should be his food. With the first mouthful, health returned to the body of the child, and from that time he grew in strength and stature until he attained to the fulness of perfect manhood. He became a mighty warrior in those days, and was known throughout all the island, so that when he died, his name, Mokuola, was given to the islet in the bay of Hilo where his bones were buried; by which name it is called even to the present time ...

The explorers reach Easter Island in a 'canoe' (vaka). The name of their craft is given as Oraorangaru 'saved from the billows' (Brown 1924:40) or Te Oraora-miro 'the living-wood' (ME:58). The Routledge reference 'Each (man went) on a piece of wood' (RM:278) also seems to refer to the name of the canoe. As far back as 1934, the name was no longer understood. I favor the following explanation: The difficulty in interpreting the name of the canoe of the explorers arises from the name segment oraora. To begin with, the compound form oraora ngaru should be analyzed in comparison with other Polynesian compounds, such as MAO. pare-ngaru 'that which fends off the waves' (i.e., the hull of the boat), TAH. tere-'aru 'that which moves through the waves' (i.e., riding the waves on a board). There are several possible translations for oraora as the reduplication of ora. Te Oraora Miro can be translated as 'the pieces of wood, tightly lashed together' (compare TAH. oraora 'to set close together, to fit parts of a canoe') and be taken to refer to the method of construction of the explorer canoe, while Oraora Ngaru means 'that which parts the water like a wedge', or 'that which saves (one) from the waves, that which is stronger that the waves'. (Barthel 2)

Mokuola meant the Living Island (Motu Ora) and the Bay of Hilo (Hiro, Whiro) must have alluded to Mercury:

Names for Mercury:

Hawaiian Islands

Society Islands

Tuamotus

New Zealand

Pukapuka

Ukali or Ukali-alii 'Following-the-chief' (i.e. the Sun)

Kawela 'Radiant'

Ta'ero or Ta'ero-arii 'Royal-inebriate' (referring to the eccentric and undignified behavior of the planet as it zigzags from one side of the Sun to the other)

Fatu-ngarue 'Weave-to-and-fro' Fatu-nga-rue 'Lord of the Earthquake'

Whiro 'Steals-off-and-hides'; also the universal name for the 'dark of the Moon' or the first day of the lunar month; also the deity of sneak thieves and rascals.

Te Mata-pili-loa-ki-te-la 'Star-very-close-to-the-Sun'

The rongorongo text lines are growing upwards in undulating (serpentine) curves, from bottom and up to the top end of the tablets. Also Odin reached his top position by growing up in tortuous coils - cfr the picture at the top of this page.

There were thieves everywhere:

1 + 4 * 7 = 29:

*1 Hilo (Hiro)*	... the first night of each month and the day following it was a good one for planting. Water-melons, gourds, bananas, sugar-cane, taro, potatoes and so on, if planted on this day, would bear well. It was a day highly valued for planting.
27 nights
*29 Muku (Mutu)*	Muku is the night on which the Moon does not rise. The name means 'finished' and it refers to the 'dying' of the Moon. It is a day for planting crops, a day of low tide, when the sea gathers up and returns the sand to its place, a day of diving for sea-urchins, small and large, for gathering sea-weed, for line-fishing by children, squid-catching, uluulu [uruuru] fishing, pulu [puru] fishing and so forth. Such is the activity of this day.

Hiro

1. A deity invoked when praying for rain (meaning uncertain). 2. To twine tree fibres (hauhau, mahute) into strings or ropes. Ohirohiro, waterspout (more exactly pú ohirohiro), a column of water which rises spinning on itself. Vanaga.

To spin, to twist. P Mgv.: hiro, iro, to make a cord or line in the native manner by twisting on the thigh. Mq.: fió, hió, to spin, to twist, to twine. Ta.: hiro, to twist. This differs essentially from the in-and-out movement involved in hiri 2, for here the movement is that of rolling on the axis of length, the result is that of spinning. Starting with the coir fiber, the first operation is to roll (hiro) by the palm of the hand upon the thigh, which lies coveniently exposed in the crosslegged sedentary posture, two or three threads into a cord; next to plait (hiri) three or other odd number of such cords into sennit. Hirohiro, to mix, to blend, to dissolve, to infuse, to inject, to season, to streak with several colors; hirohiro ei paatai, to salt. Hirohiroa, to mingle; hirohiroa ei vai, diluted with water. Churchill.

Ta.: Hiro, to exaggerate. Ha.: hilohilo, to lengthen a speech by mentioning little circumstances, to make nice oratorial language. Churchill.

Whiro 'Steals-off-and-hides'; also [in addition to the name of Mercury] the universal name for the 'dark of the Moon' or the first day of the lunar month; also the deity of sneak thieves and rascals. Makemson.
