The 'neck' was laid to rest
(haka rere) in Hanga Rau
- in the 'Bay of Leaves'.
At the top of the World Tree there surely must
be lots of leaves (as many as the stars in the
canopy) and according to myth this place was
occupied by a little piece of wood which was
used to kill Balder:
... Hercules first appears in
legend as a pastoral sacred king and, perhaps
because shepherds welcome the birth of twin
lambs, is a twin himself. His characteristics
and history can be deduced from a mass of
legends, folk-customs and megalithic monuments.
He is the rain-maker of his tribe and a sort of
human thunder-storm. Legends connect him with
Libya and the Atlas Mountains; he may well have
originated thereabouts in Palaeolithic times.
The priests of Egyptian Thebes, who called him
Shu, dated his origin as 17,000 years
before the reign of King Amasis.
He carries an oak-club,
because the oak provides his beasts and his
people with mast and because it attracts
lightning more than any other tree. His symbols
are the acorn; the rock-dove, which nests in
oaks as well as in clefts of rocks; the
mistletoe, or Loranthus; and the serpent.
All these are sexual emblems.
The dove was sacred to the Love-goddess of
Greece and Syria; the serpent was the most
ancient of phallic totem-beasts; the cupped
acorn stood for the glans penis in both
Greek and Latin; the mistletoe was an all-heal
and its names viscus (Latin) and ixias
(Greek) are connected with vis and
ischus (strength) - probably because of the
spermal viscosity of its berries, sperm being
the vehicle of life.
This Hercules is male leader of all orgiastic
rites and has twelve archer companions,
including his spear-armed twin, who is his
tanist or deputy. He performs an annual
green-wood marriage with a queen of the woods, a
sort of Maid Marian. He is a mighty hunter and
makes rain, when it is needed, by rattling an
oak-club thunderously in a hollow oak and
stirring a pool with an oak branch -
alternatively, by rattling pebbles inside a
sacred colocinth-gourd or, later, by rolling
black meteoric stones inside a wooden chest -
and so attracting thunderstorms by sympathetic
magic ...
...
To conclude these enquiries
we may say that if Balder was indeed, as I have
conjectured, a personification of a
mistletoe-bearing oak, his death by a blow of
the mistletoe might on the new theory be
explained as a death by a stroke of lightning.
So long as the mistletoe, in
which the flame of the
lightning smouldered, was suffered to remain
among the boughs, so long no harm could befall
the good and kindly god of the oak, who kept his
life stowed away for safety between earth and
heaven in the mysterious parasite; but when once
that seat of his life, or of his death, was torn
from the branch and hurled at the trunk, the
tree fell - the god died - smitten by a
thunderbolt. And what we have said of Balder in
the oak forests of Scandinavia may perhaps, with
all due diffidence in a question so obscure and
uncertain, be applied to the priest of Diana,
the King of the Wood, at Aricia in the oak
forests of Italy. He may have personated in
flesh and blood the great Italian god of the
sky, Jupiter, who had kindly come down from
heaven in the lightning flash to dwell among men
in the mistletoe - the thunder-besom - the
Golden Bough - growing on the sacred oak in the
dells of Nemi. If that was so, we need not
wonder that the priest guarded with drawn sword
the mystic bough which contained the god's life
and his own. The goddess whom he served and
married was herself, if I am right, no other
than the Queen of Heaven, the true wife of the
sky-god. For she, too, loved the solitude of the
woods and the lonely hills, and sailing overhead
on clear nights in the likeness of the silver
moon looked down with pleasure on her own fair
image reflected on the calm, the burnished
surface of the lake, Diana's Mirror ...

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 ...

the people in their

in the excitement
created by the

later research it

two complete lists,
the first dealing
with land
agriculture and

second dealing with

The first half

The second list

continues with
Nun - fish,
Samek - fish

a water spring,
Peh - the mouth

- to fish, Kof,

18 yellow = 37 = 13 (Flail)

Counting
also the 3 extra
multicoloured ones for
flogging with the flail, the
sum becomes 40.

renamed July. He was raised
to the status of a god

Jupiter Julius. Marcus
