Thus Maui caught the Sun with a Circle (the loop of a
'serpent' rope) at the Square (of Pegasus), at the place where the Sun was
rising in the morning. This could have alluded
to how the Draco constellation (circling around the north pole) had been
used as reference in order to draw back Pegasus to its proper
place
- that which it once upon a time
would have had before the precession moved the sky
dome to where it was at present (according to the Sun calendar).
... Anciently the north polar region had been
ruled by Draco (as represented by Thuban, α
Draconis), but due to the precession a shift would inevitably
have been forced:
... The star [Thuban] could be seen, both by
day and night, from the bottom of the central passage of the
Great Pyramid of Cheops (Knum Khufu) at Ghizeh, in 30° of
north latitude, as also from the similar points in five other
like structures; and the same fact is asserted by Sir John
Herschel as to the two pyramids at Abousseir ...
Notably Thuban was close to the
Full Moon when the Sun was at Al-risha (the Knot) - cfr
the 7 Rishis of Ursa Major:
... Proclus informs us that the fox star
nibbles continuously at the thong of the yoke which holds
together heaven and earth; German folklore adds that when the
fox succeeds, the world will come to its end. This fox star is
no other than Alcor, the small star g near zeta [ζ] Ursae
Majoris (in India Arundati, the common wife of the Seven

When Metoro Tau'a Ure explained to Bishop Jaussen on
Tahiti that the sky was moving (maeva) at right ascension
line *32 it could therefore have referred to how the whole sky dome had
shifted when the star at the pole changed from Thuban to Polaris.
... The Babylonian mulApin (Triangulum)
could be the same as Apina Nui and if so we could guess
Apina Iti was the lesser triangle (Triangulum Minor):
...
The Polynesians could not end a word with the consonant 'n' and
therefore the famous mulAPIN should have become the
Easter Island name Apina.
... Mul-Apin is a composite text that can be thought of
as a general compendium dealing with many diverse aspects of
celestial divination.The first sections of tablet 1 list all the
mainstream Babylonian constellations along with the deities
associated with them. Various other sections give the rising
dates for the stars and provide further useful information that
helps to locate the constellations in relation to each other and
as such it is the single most important resource for
reconstructing the overall plan of the Babylonian starmap. Even
though the earliest copy so far discovered was only written
shortly after 700 BCE, the text was probably composed sometime
between 1200 and 1000 BCE ...
This fundamental change could evidently have happened in Roman times, because
the Julian equinox was in 'March 25 (84) - the day after Hamal -
when the Dragon (κ Virginis)
was at the Full Moon.
*41 - *27 = *14 precessional right ascension nights earlier -
i.e. according to the time-frame of Bharani - the day after
Hamal would have been 355 days after 0h (→ winter solstice).

... Väinämöinen set about building a
boat, but when it came to the prow and the stern, he
found he needed three words in his rune that he did not
know, however he sought for them. In vain he looked on
the heads of the swallows, on the necks of the swans, on
the backs of the geese, under the tongues of the
reindeer. He found a number of words, but not those he
needed. Then he thought of seeking them in the realm of
Death, Tuonela, but in vain. He escaped back to the
world of the living only thanks to his potent magic. He
was still missing his three runes. He was then told by a
shepherd to search in the mouth of Antero Vipunen, the
giant ogre. The road, he was told, went over swords and
sharpened axes. Ilmarinen made shoes, shirt and gloves
of iron for him, but warned him that he would find the
great Vipunen dead. Nevertheless, the hero went. The
giant lay underground, and trees grew over his head.
Väinämöinen found his way to the giant's mouth, and
planted his iron staff in it. The giant awoke and
suddenly opened his huge mouth. Väinämöinen slipped into
it and was swallowed. As soon as he reached the enormous
stomach, he thought of getting out. He built himself a
raft [cfr The Heavenly Raft, θ Aquilae, *305], and
floated on it up and down inside the giant. The giant
felt tickled and told him in many and no uncertain words
where he might go, but he did not yield any runes. Then
Väinämöinen built a smithy and began to hammer his iron
on an anvil, torturing the entrails of Vipunen, who
howled out magic songs to curse him away. But
Väinämöinen said, thank you, he was very comfortable and
would not go unless he got the secret words. Then
Vipunen at last unlocked the treasure of his powerful
runes. Many days and nights he sang, and the sun and the
moon and the waves of the sea and the waterfalls stood
still to hear him. Väinämöinen treasured them all and
finally agreed to come out. Vipunen opened his great
jaws, and the hero issued forth to go and build his boat

Hero is now located. 'Yours is the evening shadow'

... In other words, the ancient Druidic religion
based on the oak-cult will be swept away by
Christianity and the door - the god Llyr - will
languish forgotten in the Castle of Arianrhod,
the Corona Borealis. This helps us to
understand the relationship at Rome of Janus and
the White Goddess Cardea who is ... the Goddess
of Hinges who came to Rome from Alba Longa. She
was the hinge on which the year swung - the
ancient Latin, not the Etruscan year - and her
importance as such is recorded in the Latin
adjective cardinalis - as we say in
English 'of cardinal importance - which was also
applied to the four main winds; for winds were
considered as under the sole direction of the
Great Goddess until Classical times ... |

were having their first menstrual courses, were
told to go and draw water from the ocean.
Finding the journey too long, Raven decided just
to urinate into her basket-bucket. She decieved
no one and was severly scolded. Crow returned
much later but with drinking water. As a
punishment, Raven was condemned never to find
water in the summer; only in winter would she
find something to drink. For that reason the
Raven never drinks during the hot months; she
