7 * 7 * 7 = 343 days and
that an open (empty) hand characterized both

... For they say that the
course of human life
resembles the letter Y [as
in upsilon] , because every
one of men, when he has
reached the threshold of
early youth, and has arrived
at the place 'where the way
divides itself into two
parts', is in doubt, and
hesitates, and does not know
to which side he should
rather turn himself´...

... 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 ...

A line to be drawn
from Hoku-paa (Polaris) to
Acrux - from the fixed or North Star
to the most southerly star of the
Southern Cross (Newe) - basically
corresponded to the sequence of
glyphs on side b on the C
tablet, but with 5 extra
glyphs added at the end of
side b
which were 'intertwined'
with the
text at beginning of side a:
