(*101) SIRIUS |
... The Sothic cycle was based
on what is referred to in
technical jargon as 'the
periodic return of the heliacal
rising of Sirius', which is the
first appearance of this star
after a seasonal absence, rising
at dawn just ahead of the sun in
the eastern portion of the sky.
In the case of Sirius the
interval between one such rising
and the next amounts to
exactly 365.25 days - a
mathematically harmonious
figure, uncomplicated by further
decimal points, which is just
twelve minutes longer than the
duration of the solar year

... Al Maisān, the title of
γ
Geminorum [Alhena], by some error of
Firuzabadi was applied to this star
[Heka in Orion] as Meissa,
and is now common for it. Al Sufi
called it Al Tahāyī; but Al
Ferghani and Al Tizini knew it as
Rās al Jauzah, the Head of the
Jauzah, which it marks. The original
Arabic name, Al Hak'ah, a
White Spot, was from the added faint
light of the smaller
φ¹and
φ²
in the background, and has descended
to us as Heka and Hika.
These three stars were another of
the Athāfiyy [tripods used
for cooking] of the Arabs; and
everywhere in early astrology were
thought, like all similar groups, to
be of unfortunate influence in human
affairs. They constituted the
Euphratean lunar station
Mas-tab-ba-tur-tur, the Little
Twins, a title also found for
γ
[Alhena] and
η
Geminorum [Tejat Prior]; and
individually were important stars
among the Babylonians, rising to
them with the sun at the summer
solstice, and, with
α
and
γ,
were known as Kakkab Sar, the
Constellation of the King

... In Hindu legend there was a mother
goddess called Aditi, who had
seven offspring. She is called 'Mother
of the Gods'. Aditi, whose name
means 'free, unbounded, infinity' was
assigned in the ancient lists of
constellations as the regent of the
asterism Punarvasu. Punarvasu
is dual in form and means 'The
Doublegood Pair'. The singular form of
this noun is used to refer to the star
Pollux. It is not difficult to surmise
that the other member of the Doublegood
Pair was Castor. Then the constellation
Punarvasu is quite equivalent to
our Gemini, the Twins. In far antiquity
(5800 BC) the spring equinoctial point
was predicted by the heliacal rising of
the Twins ...

plait (hiri) three or
other odd number of such cords

The Sun was
placed at the Stern → star as in
starboard for the right side of
the ship, the place for women. X
was formed by the timbers which
had held the Sail (Ra) in
its proper place, the structure
of which, however, the collision
with the Oak had broken to
pieces. Drus → L. dūrus
= hard (as oak).
... The seventh tree is the oak,
the tree of Zeus, Juppiter,
Hercules, The Dagda (the chief
of the elder Irish gods), Thor,
and all the other Thundergods,
Jehovah in so far as he was
'El', and Allah. The royalty of
the oak-tree needs no enlarging
upon: most people are familiar
with the argument of Sir James
Frazer's Golden Bough, which
concerns the human sacrifice of
the oak-king of Nemi on
Midsummer Day. The fuel of the
midsummer fires is always oak,
the fire of Vesta at Rome was
fed with oak, and the need-fire
is always kindled in an oak-log.
When Gwion writes in the Câd
Goddeu, 'Stout Guardian of the
door, His name in every tongue',
he is saying that doors are
customarily made of oak as the
strongest and toughest wood and
that 'Duir', the Beth-Luis-Nion
name for 'Oak', means 'door' in
many European languages
including Old Goidelic dorus,
Latin foris, Greek thura, and
German tür, all derived from the
Sanskrit Dwr, and that Daleth,
the Hebrew letter D, means
'Door' - the 'l' being
originally an 'r'. Midsummer is
the flowering season of the oak,
which is the tree of endurance
and triumph, and like the ash is
said to 'court the lightning
flash'. Its roots are believed
to extend as deep underground as
its branches rise in the air -
Virgil mentions this - which
makes it emblematic of a god
whose law runs both in Heaven
and in the Underworld ... The
month, which takes its name from
Juppiter the oak-god, begins on
June 10th and ends of July 7th.
Midway comes St. John's Day,
June 24th, the day on which the
oak-king was sacrificially
burned alive. The Celtic year
was divided into two halves with
the second half beginning in
July, apparently after a
seven-day wake, or funeral
feast, in the oak-king's honour
...
... 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 1651

The Gemini twins were
standing on the western shore of the
great Milky Way River. Therefore they
had to be depicted as leaning
away from the
horizontal as defined by the sky equator:
Possibly we have here an
explanation for why such glyphs as
the Ship and the Good sign were
drawn vertical (i.e. a quarter
of a turn away from the
direction defined by the horizon
at the equinoxes):
