days from heliacal Ain (Bull's Eye) at Ga1-1 to 21 March. And
there were 6 right
ascension days to be counted from Hyadum II, down from the
time-frame of the Bull to that when Itzem-Yeh
had been defeated.

... Raven gazed up and
down the beach. It was
pretty, but lifeless.
There was no one about
to upset, or play tricks
upon. Raven sighed. He
crossed his wings behind
him and strutted up and
down the sand, his shiny
head cocked, his sharp
eyes and ears alert for
any unusual sight or
sound. The mountains and
the sea, the sky now
ablaze with the sun by
day and the moon and
stars he had placed
there, it was all
pretty, but lifeless.
Finally Raven cried out
to the empty sky with a
loud exasperated cry.
And before the echoes of
his cry faded from the
shore, he heard a
muffled squeak. He
looked up and down the
beach for its source and
saw nothing. He strutted
back and and forth,
once, twice, three times
and still saw nothing.
Then he spied a flash of
white in the sand.
There, half buried in
the sand was a giant
clamshell. As his shadow
fell upon it, he heard
another muffled squeak.
Peering down into the
opening between the
halves of the shell, he
saw it was full of tiny
creatures, cowering in
fear at his shadow ... |

The C text was evidently
beginning where 0h was at the Full Moon,
i.e. as defined from the current heliacal
cycle with the Sun at heliacal Alchita.
From the beginning of the
Winnowing Basket (the t-pot) in Sagittarius
to the northern winter solstice (the
southern summer solstice) there had been 6
days at the time when the Pope Gregory XIII
had launched his
new calendar. °Dec 15 (*269) + 6 = solstice.
This meant the corresponding 6 days had to
be reflected in the positions of the other cardinal points,
and there were 6 days from Sirrah (or
Alchita) to Ca1-6.
... I wan't a clean cup, interrupted the
Hatter: let's all move one place on. He
moved as he spoke, and the Dormouse followed
him: the March Hare moved into the
Dormouse's place, and Alice rather
unwillingly took the place of the March
Hare. The Hatter was the only one who got
any advantage from the change; and Alice was
a good deal worse off than before, as the
March Hare had just upsed the milk-jug into
his plate ...
Itzam-Yeh was a name for Ursa Major, the Big Dipper
high up in the north, and notably the South
Dipper was a part of the Tea-pot:
... Men's spirits were thought to dwell in
the Milky Way between incarnations. This
conception has been handed down as an Orphic
and Pythagorean tradition fitting into the
frame of the migration of the soul.
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. In fact, he states
explicitly (I,12.5) that this 'Gate' is
'where the Zodiac and the Milky Way
intersect'. Far away, the Mangaians of old
(Austral Islands, Polynesia), who kept the
precessional clock running instead of
switching over to 'signs', claim that only
at the evening of the solstitial days can
spirits enter heaven, the inhabitants of the
northern parts of the island at one
solstice, the dwellers in the south at the
other ... Considering the fact that the
crossroadsof ecliptic and Galaxy are
crisis-resistant, that is, not concerned
with the Precession, the reader may want to
know why the Mangaians thought they could go
to heaven only on the two solstitial days.
Because, in order to 'change trains'
comfortably, the constellations that serve
as 'gates' to the Milky Way must 'stand'
upon the 'earth', meaning that they must
rise heliacally either at the equinoxes or
at the solstices. The Galaxy is a very broad
highway, but even so there must have been
some bitter millenia when neither gate was
directly available any longer, the one
hanging in midair, the other having turned
into a submarine entrance ...
