397. The peculiar pair of
'eyes' inside the belly of the Rogo figures (e.g.
Ga7-25 → 360) can be
explained by looking back half a year in the text - for the Hunaphu twins
were destined to return:
... This, my
head, has nothing on it - just bone, nothing of meat. It's just
the same with the head of a great lord: it's just the flesh that
makes his face look good. And when he dies, people get
frightened by his bones. After that, his son is like his saliva,
his spittle, in his being, whether it be the son of a lord or
the son of a craftsman, an orator. The father does not
disappear, but goes on being fulfilled. Neither dimmed nor
destroyed is the face of a lord, a warrior, craftsman, an
orator. Rather, he will leave his daughters and sons. So it is
that I have done likewise through you. Now go up there on the
face of the earth; you will not die. Keep the word. So be it,
said the head of One and Seven Hunaphu - they were of one mind
when they did it ...

In view of the almost universal prevalence of
the Pleiades year throughout the Polynesian area
it is surprising to find that in the South
Island and certain parts of the North Island of
New Zealand and in the neighboring Chatham
Islands, the year began with the new Moon after
the yearly morning rising, not of the Pleiades,
but of the star Rigel in Orion. Such an
important difference can be explained only on
the assumption that the very first settlers ...
brought the Rigel year with them ... from some
other land 10° south of the equator where Rigel
acquired at the same time its synonymity with
the zenith. Colonists who arrived in New Zealand
from Central Polynesia during the Middle Ages
and intermarried with the tangata whenua,
'people of the land', found themselves between
the horns of a calendrical dilemma. They must
either convert the aborigines to the Pleiades
year beginning in November-December or
themselves adopt the Rigel year [together with
heliacal rising observations] and bring down the
wrath of their ancestors on their own heads.
That there resulted a long and passionate
struggle on the part of both the invaders and
the invaded to retain their own the integrity of
the sacred year of their traditions can hardly
by doubted. The outcome of the conflict proved
that the institution of the land was too firmly
established to be changed. While some tribes
retained the Rigel year in its entirety others
effected a compromise by retaining the Pleiades
year but commencing it in June ... |

... [E:17] On the twenty-fifth day of the first
month (Vaitu Nui), Ira and
Makoi set sail;
on the first day of June ('Maro'),
the bow of Ira's canoe appeared on
the distant horizon, came closer and closer
on its course, and sailed along, and finally
(one) could see the (new home) land

... Up to
the present time, fertility spells for fowls have played
an important role. Especially effective were the
so-called 'chicken skulls' (puoko moa) - that is,
the skulls of dead chiefs, often marked by incisions,
that were considered a source of mana. Their task
is explained as follows: 'The skulls of the chiefs are
for the chicken, so that thousands may be born' (te
puoko ariki mo te moa, mo topa o te piere)
...
As long as the source of mana is kept in the house, the
hens are impregnated (he rei te moa i te uha),
they lay eggs (he ne'ine'i te uha i te mamari),
and the chicks are hatched (he topa te maanga).
After a period of time, the beneficial skull has to be
removed, because otherwise the hens become exhausted
from laying eggs

... The
uterus is the origin of new life (ora),
and we can therefore understand Metoro
when he said henua ora rua (rua
= two) at Ab6-91--92:
A mother is
equal to the fertile and living earth (henua
ora), while man contrariwise must
represent death (by being a warrior) ... |
... The
fully grown Rakau (Tree) was Sirius, the
brightest of the stars in the night, although
Capella (α in Auriga) was also very luminous:
... The tradition preserved by Hyginus in
his Poetic Astronomy that the
constellation Capricorn ('He-goat') was
Zeus's foster-brother Aegipan, the Kid of
the Goat Amalthea [Capella] whose horn Zeus
also placed among the stars, shows that Zeus
was born at mid-winter when the Sun entered
the house of Capricorn
...
... Macrobius, who has provided the broadest
report on the matter, has it that souls ascend
by way of Capricorn, and then, in order to be
reborn, descend again through the 'Gate of
Cancer'. Macrobius talks of signs; the
constellations rising at the solstices in his
time (and still in ours) were Gemini and
Sagittarius: the 'Gate of Cancer' means Gemini
