Maitaki at Ga5-13
could possibly refer to 'August 28 (240)
and maitaki at Ga3-17 to 'July 12
(193). There are 48 days from
Ga3-17 up to and including Ga5-13, where
the Sun was at Acrux (α
Crucis) and the Full Moon was at
Ankaa (α
Phoenicis, at the throat of the bird on fire).

... Ta'aroa
sat in his heaven above the
earth and conjured forth gods
with his words. When he shook
off his red and yellow feathers
they drifted down and became
trees. He created the first
parents, Tumu-nui, Great
Foundation, to be the husband,
and Paparaharaha, Stratum
Rock, to be the wife. He put the
very essence of himself into
their creation; yet when he
commanded them to wed, each
refused to go to the other. So
Ta'aroa created other
gods and Atea, Bright
Expanse, the Sky-goddess, who
dwelt in darkness in the
confined sky Rumia.
By Papa-tuoi, Thin Earth,
Atea was the mother of
children who became artisans for
Rai-tupua-nui,
Great-Sky-builder. They assisted
him in erecting the ten heavens
above the earth. In the highest
of these dwelt the god Tane,
so it was called the
Sky-of-the-sacred-omens of
Tane and
Sky-of-the-water-of-life of
Tane. The next highest
heaven was called Hiro's
Sky-of-prophets.
Atea
then became the wife of
Rua-tupua-nui, Source of
Great Growth, and they became
the parents of all the celestial
beings, first the shooting
stars, then the Moon and the
Sun, next the comets, then the
multitude of stars and
constellations, and finally the
bright and dark nebulae.
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 ...
I guess we should understand this part of the myth to mean that males strive upwards like
hot flames, whereas the females follow the
cool water going down.
Fa'a-hotu was first moving up, but then he
reached a point of turning
around and became female (like
rain water). For
his wife Atea it was the
opposite, at Denebola (Al
Sarfah, The Turn) she turned around from descending to ascending:
| Hotu
Ta.: hotu, to
produce fruit, Sa.: fotu, id.
Mgv.: akahotu, the September
season. Churchill.
H.: Hoku,
Night of the full moon. When this moon
set before daylight it was called
Hoku Palemo, Hoku that slips away.
When it set after daylight it was called
Hoku Ili, grounded Hoku. Ka
mahina o Hoku, the full moon of the
night Hoku. Cf. hōkū, star. Hō
kū, star. (PPN fetu'u).
Wehewehe. |
| Atea
The name of the district
or section of country over which
Olopana is to have ruled in
Kahiki was in Hawaiian
Moa-ula-nui-akea. Analyzing this
word, it consists of one appellative,
Moa, and three adjectives or
epithets, ula, nui,
akea, 'red, great, open, or
wide-spreading' ... (Fornander)
Pau.: fakaatea,
to remove, to put away. Ta.: atea,
clear. Mq.: atea, id. Sa.:
ateatea, wide, spacious. Ma.:
atea, clear. Churchill. |
Mangarevan aka-hotu
resembles Fa'a-hotu and September is the
month of the equinox.
| Aka
1. Anchor: he-hoa te
aka, to drop anchor. 2. Root of
certain plants (banana tree, taro,
sugar-cane). 3. To be paralyzed by
surprise. Vanaga.
1. Root; aka totoro,
