... Gilgamesh is
claimed to have been one of the earliest
kings of Uruk (or Erech). The
circumstances of his fabled birth make him
two-thirds god and one-third man, which
makes him - in the sexagesimal system of
Mesopotamia - two-thirds of 60 (= Anu)
= 40, the number which characterized
Enki-Ea, whence the latter's
denomination of 'Shanabi (= ⅔, i.e.,
of 60) and Nimin (Sumerian = 40)'

... They walked
in crowds when they arrived at
Tulan, and there was no fire.
Only those with Tohil had it:
this was the tribe whose god was
first to generate fire. How it was
generated is not clear. Their fire
was already burning when Jaguar
Quitze and Jaguar Night
first saw it: 'Alas! Fire has not
yet become ours. We'll die from the
cold', they said. And then Tohil
spoke: 'Do not grieve. You will have
your own even when the fire you're
talking about has been lost',
Tohil told them.
'Aren't
you a true god! Our sustenance and
our support! Our god!' they said
when they gave thanks for what
Tohil had said.
'Very
well, in truth, I am your god: so be
it. I am your lord: so be it,' the
penitents and sacrificers were told
by Tohil. And this was the
warming of the tribes. They were
pleased by their fire. After
that a great downpour began, which
cut short the fire of the tribes.
And hail fell thickly on all the
tribes, and their fires were put out
by the hail. Their fires didn't
start up again. So then Jaguar
Quitze and Jaguar Night
asked for their fire again:
'Tohil, we'll be finished off by
the cold', they told Tohil.
'Well, do not grive', said Tohil.
Then he started a fire. He pivoted
inside his sandal ...

... According to
Gylfaginning, following the
murder of Baldr by Loki, the other
gods brought his body down to the
sea and laid him to rest on the
ship. They would have launched it
out into the water and kindled a
funeral pyre for Baldr but were
unable to move the great vessel
without the help of the giantess
Hyrrokkin, who was sent for out of
Jötunheim. She then flung the ship
so violently down the rollers at the
first push that flames appeared and
the earth trembled, much to the
annoyance of Thor. Along with Baldr,
his wife Nanna was also borne to the
funeral pyre after she had died of
grief. As Thor was consecrating the
fire with his hammer Mjolnir, a
dwarf named Litr began cavorting at
his feet. Thor then kicked him into
the flames and the dwarf was burned
up as well ...

... needfire ceremonies
usually take place near the summer solstice (the
Feast of St. John) ... but they occur in several
other seasons as well. The summer date of the
rite and its accompanying festival have to do,
among other things, with fertility, as can can
clearly be seen in a variant from the valley of
the Moselle preserved for us by Jakob Grimm.
Each household in the village was constrained to
contribute a shock of straw to the nearby high
place, Stromberg, where the males went at
evening while the females went to a spring lower
down on the slope. A huge wheel was wrapped with
this straw. An axle run through the wheel served
as the handles for those who were to guide it on
its downward plunge. The mayor of a nearby town
kindled the straw, for which office he was
rewarded with a basketful of cherries. All the
men kindled torches and some followed the
burning orb as it was released downhill to
shouts of joy. The women at the spring echoed
these shouts as the
wheel rushed by them. Often the fire went out of
its own accord before it reached the river, but
should the waters of the river extinguish it, an
abundant vintage was forecast for that year ... |

... In the beginning were Rangi
and Papa, Sky and Earth.
Darkness existed. Rangi
adhered over Papa his wife.
Man was not. A person arose, a
spirit who had no origin; his name
was Rangitokona, the
Heaven-propper. He went to Rangi
and Papa, bid them go apart,
but they would not.
Therefore
Rangitokona separated Rangi
and Papa, he thrust the sky
above. He thrust him with his
pillars ten in number end to end;
they reached up to the
Fixed-place-of-the-Heavens. After
this separation Rangi
lamented for his wife: and his tears
are the dew and the rain which ever
fall on her. This was the chant that
did the work:
Rangitokona,
prop up the heaven! //
Rangitokona, prop up the
morning! // The pillar stands in the
empty space. The thought [memea]
stands in the earth-world - //
Thought stands also in the sky. The
kahi stands in the
earth-world - // Kahi stands
also in the sky. The pillar stands,
the pillar - // It ever stands, the
pillar of the sky. Then for the
first time was there light between
the Sky and the Earth; the world
existed ...

village. The lakes and rivers were dry. Raven
and Crow, two young girls who 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 speaks with a raucous
voice because of her dry throat ...

Paina. Human likeness, large doll
(made in ancient times). Vanaga. T. To
make a noise. H. To sound, as in
breaking or tearing anything. Churchill.
Although the Easter Islanders still
cautiously kept all their small stone
and wood carvings in hiding, they did
reveal their own artistic talent and
activity by carrying forth colossal
paina figures in the presence of the
Spaniards [1770]. These were skilfully
made light-weight dolls of superhuman
size, fashioned from painted bark-cloth
stuffed with branches, grass, and reeds.
They were carried in processions and
erected at the side of old image
platforms, as if they represented some
substitute for the giant stone men of
the Middle Period that this historic or
Late Period population was unable to
carve or erect. Agüera (Ibid., p.
95) gave the following account of the
paina figures, after a description
of the ancient stone statues of which an
unspecified number were still standing
on ahu: 'They have another effigy
or idol clothed and portable which is
about four yards in length: it is
properly speaking the figure of a Judas,
stuffed with straw or dried grass. It
has arms and legs, and the head has
coarsely figured eyes, nostrils, and
mouth: it is adorned with a black fringe
of hair made of rushes, which hangs
half-way down the back. On certain days
they carry this idol to the place where
they gather together, and judging by the
demonstrations some of them made, we
understood it to be the one dedicated to
enjoyment... (Heyerdahl 3)
Der Cultus bestand in Anrufung der
Götter, deren Willen der Priester
erklärte, in Opfern an Lebensmitteln,
auch an Menschen, und in der Feier
gewisser, zu bestimmten Zeiten
wiederkehrender Feste (rakauti),
von denen das erste im Früjahr 2 Monate
dauerte, das zweite im Sommer mit der
Errichtung einer Pyramide aus Zweigen (paina)
endete, das dritte in den Winter fiel;
bei allen fanden Tänze, Gesänge, Spiele
aller Art statt. (Churchill: From Die
Inseln des stillen Oceans by Carl E.
Meinicke; zweiter Theil, 1876, p. 228.) |
... 'In Upper Egypt', wrote
Sir James G. Frazer in The Golden Bough,
citing the observations of a German
nineteenth-century voyager, 'on the first day of
the solar year by Coptic reckoning, that is, on
the tenth of September, when the Nile has
generally reached its highest point, the regular
government is suspended for three days and every
town chooses its own ruler. This temporary lord
wears a sort of tall fool's cap and a long
flaxen beard, and is enveloped in a strange
mantle. With a wand of office in his hand and
attended by men disguised as scribes,
executioners, and so forth, he proceeds to the
Governor's house. The latter allows himself to
be deposed; and the mock king, mounting the
throne, holds a tribunal, to the decisions of
which even the governor and his officials must
bow. After three days the mock king is committed
to the flames, and from its ashes the Fellah
creeps forth ...
Probably the idea of a zodiac came
from Upper Egypt at the bend of the Nile, for
recently they have (at The Red Mound) discovered the remnants of a very old zoo - a
circular royal compound with various animals
which later became well known in the
Egyptian pantheon.
"Nekhen ... or Hierakonpolis
... Ancient Greek: Hierakōn
polis 'Hawk City', Egyptian Arabic:
el-Kōm el-Ahmar,
lit. 'The Red Mound', was the religious and
political capital of Upper Egypt at the end of
prehistoric Egypt (c. 3200-3100 BC) and probably
also during the Early Dynastic Period (c.
3100-2686 BC)." (Wikipedia)
... The sacred king pretended
to die at sunset; the boy interrex was at
once invested with his titles, dignities, and
sacred implements, married to the queen, and
killed twenty-four hours later ...
... Robur Carolinum,
Charles' Oak, the Quercia of Italy
and the Karlseiche of Germany, was
formally published by Halley in 1679 in
commemoration of the Royal Oak of his patron,
Charles II, in which the king had lain hidden
for twenty-four hours after his defeat by
Cromwell in the battle of Worcester, on the 3rd
of September 165 ...

... This [η

noted objects in the heavens,
perhaps even so in almost
prehistoric times, for
Babylonian inscriptions seem to
refer to a star noticeable from
occasional faintness in its
light, that Jensen thinks was
η. And
he claims it as one of the
temple stars associated with Ea,
or Ia, of Eridhu¹, the Lord of
Waters, otherwise known as
Oannes², the mysterious human
fish and greatest god of the
kingdom.
¹ Eridhu, or
Eri-duga, the Holy City, Nunki,
or Nunpe, one of the oldest
cities in the world, even in
ancient Babylonia, was that
kingdom's flourishing port on
the Persian Gulf, but, by the
encroachment of the delta, its
site is now one hundred miles
inland. In its vicinity the
Babylonians located their sacred
Tree of Life.
² Berōssōs
described Oannes as the teacher
of early man in all knowledge;
and in mythology he was even the
creator of man and the father of
Tammuz and Ishtar, themselves
associated with other stars and
sky figures. Jensen thinks
Oannes connected with the stars
of Capricorn; Lockyer finds his
counterpart in the god Chnemu of
Southern Egypt; and some have
regarded him as the prototype of
Noah ...

oura, id. The preface ko
to the stem ula distinguishes
the Tongafiti. We therefore assign
the word in Rapanui and Tahiti to a
Tongafiti source, in Mangareva to a
Proto-Samoan source, and Marquesas
shows both ... Rapanui is the only
language which defines the flea
otherwise than in terms of the
louse, commonly kutufiti the
jumping louse. Pediculus is
ancestral in the South Sea, the flea
seams to have been contributed by
the first of the explorers.
