8-7. Half a year after the end of
January was the beginning of August. And 5 days after the Full
Moon at January 29 was 21h, i.e. day 400 if counted from
December 31 in the previous year:
... Once when
I borrowed an old book from the library I found a
handwritten label which said the book had to be returned
'within a year and a day', a peculiar expression which made
me wonder ...
... Nut, whom the Greeks sometimes
identified with Rhea, was goddess of the sky, but it was
debatable if in historical times she was the object of a
genuine cult. She was Geb's twin sister and, it was said,
married him secretly and against the will of Ra. Angered, Ra
had the couple brutally separated by Shu and afterwards
decreed that Nut could not bear a child in any given month
of any year. Thoth, Plutarch tells us, happily had pity on
her. Playing draughts with the Moon, he won in the course of
several ames a seventy-second part of the Moon's light with
which he composed five new days. As these five intercalated
days did not belong to the official Egyptian calendar of
three hundred and sixty days, Nut was thus able to give
birth successively to five children: Osiris, Haroeris
(Horus), Set, Isis and Nepthys ...
... The Sacred Book of the ancient Maya Quiche, the famous
Popol Vuh (the Book of Counsel) tells of Zipacna, son
of Vucub-Caquix (= Seven Arata). He sees 400 youths dragging
a huge log that they want as a ridgepole for their house.
Zipacna alone carries the tree without effort to the spot
where a hole has been dug for the post to support the
ridgepole. The youths, jealous and afraid, try to kill
Zipacna by crushing him in the hole, but he escapes and
brings down the house on their heads. They are removed to
the sky, in a 'group', and the Pleiades are called after
them ...

... It was 4 August 1968, and it was the feast day of Saint
Dominic, patron of Santo Domingo Pueblo, southwest of Santa Fe.
At one end of the hot, dusty plaza, a Dominican priest watched
nervously as several hundred dancers arranged in two long rows
pounded the earth with their moccasined feet as a mighty,
collective prayer [ui] for rain, accompanied by the
powerful baritone singing of a chorus and the beat of drums. As
my family and I viewed this, the largest and in some ways the
most impressive Native American public ceremony, a tiny cloud
over the Jémez Mountains to the northwest got larger and larger,
eventually filling up the sky; at last the storm broke, and the
sky was crisscrossed by lightning and the pueblo resounded with
peals of rolling thunder ... |

... in the
ceremonial course of the coming
year, the king is symbolically
transposed toward the Lono
pole of Hawaiian divinity ... It
need only be noticed that the
renewal of kingship at the climax of
the Makahiki coincides with
the rebirth of nature. For in the
ideal ritual calendar, the kali'i
battle follows the autumnal
appearance of the Pleiades, by
thirty-three days - thus precisely,
in the late eighteenth century, 21
December, the winter solstice. The
king returns to power with the sun.
Whereas, over the next two days,
Lono plays the part of the
sacrifice. The Makahiki
effigy is dismantled and hidden away
in a rite watched over by the king's
'living god', Kahoali'i or
'The-Companion-of-the-King', the one
who is also known as 'Death-is-Near'
(Koke-na-make). Close kinsman
of the king as his ceremonial
double, Kahoali'i swallows
the eye of the victim in ceremonies
of human sacrifice ... In the deep
night before the image [of Lono]
is first seen, there is a
Makahiki ceremony called
'splashing-water' (hi'uwai). Kepelino
tells of sacred chiefs being carried
to the water where the people in
their finery are bathing; in the
excitement created by the beauty of
their attire, 'one person was
attracted to another, and the
result', says this convert to
Catholicism, 'was by no means good'.
At dawn, when the people emerged
from their amorous sport, there
standing on the beach was the image
of Lono. White tapa
cloth and skins of the ka'upu
bird hang from the horizontal bar of
the tall crosspiece image. The
ka'upu is almost certainly the
albatross, a migratory bird that
appears in the western Hawaiian
chain - the white Lanyon albatross
at Ni'ihau Island - to breed
and lay eggs in October-November, or
the beginning of the Makahiki
season

... Early on Sunday morning, 14
February 1779, Captain Cook went
ashore with a party of marines to
take the Hawaiian king, Kalaniopu'u,
hostage against the return of the
Discovery's cutter, stolen the night
before in a bold maneuver - of
which, however, the amiable old
ruler was innocent. At the decisive
moment, Cook and Kalaniopu'u, the
God and the King, will confront each
other as cosmic adversaries. Permit
me thus an anthropological reading
of the historical texts. For in all
the confused Tolstoian narratives of
the affray - among which the
judicious Beaglehole refuses to
choose - the one recurrent certainty
is a dramatic structure with the
properties of a ritual
transformation. During the passage
inland to find the king, thence
seaward with his royal hostage, Cook
is metamorphosed from a being of
veneration to an object of
hostility. When he came ashore, the
common people as usual dispersed
before him and prostrated face to
earth; but in the end he was himself
precipitated face down in the water
by a chief's weapon, an iron trade
dagger, to be rushed upon by a mob
exulting over him, and seeming to
add to their own honors by the part
they could claim in his death:
'snatching the daggers from each
other', reads Mr. Burney's account,
'out of eagerness to have their
share in killing him'. In the final
ritual inversion, Cook's body would
be offered in sacrifice by the
Hawaiian King ...
... After the assassination of
Captain Cook they were able to
retrieve his dead body - with the
exception of his head and his hands.
This probably meant
not only the Head
but also Hands were necessary for
re-creation
...
... The Hawaiian woman who was
interviewed chuckled because the
assassination of Captain Cook
coincided with the day we have named
All Hearts' Day - when in
February 14 (2-14) the war-god
Kuu returned to power ... |

Comparing with the Phaistos disc we

... From a religious point of view, the high regard
for flies, whose increase or reduction causes a similar increase or
reduction in the size of the human population, is interesting, even more
so because swarms of flies are often a real nuisance on Easter Island,
something most visitors have commented on in vivid language. The
explanation seems to be that there is a parallel relationship between
flies and human souls, in this case, the souls of the unborn. There is a
widespread belief throughout Polynesia that insects are the embodiment
of numinous beings, such as gods or the spirits of the dead, and this
concept extends into Southeast Asia, where insects are seen as the
embodiment of the soul ...

... Night came, midnight came, and Tuu Maheke
said to his brother, the last-born: 'You go and sleep. It is up to me to
watch over the father.' (He said) the same to the second, the third, and
the last. When all had left, when all the brothers were asleep, Tuu
Maheke came and cut off the head of Hotu A Matua. Then
he covered everything with soil. He hid (the head), took it, and went
up. When he was inland, he put (the head) down at Te Avaava Maea.
Another day dawned, and the men saw a dense swarm of flies pour forth
and spread out like a whirlwind (ure tiatia moana) until it
disappeared into the sky. Tuu Maheke understood. He went up and
took the head, which was already stinking in the hole in which it had
been hidden. He took it and washed it with fresh water. When it was
clean, he took it and hid it anew. Another day came, and again Tuu
Maheke came and saw that it was completely dried out (pakapaka).
He took it, went away, and washed it with fresh water until (the head)
was completely clean. Then he took it and painted it yellow (he pua
hai pua renga) and wound a strip of barkcloth (nua) around
it. He took it and hid it in the hole of a stone that was exactly the
size of the head. He put it there, closed up the stone (from the
outside), and left it there. There it stayed

knowledge) ...
