... Mad Dog (Lupus) The Mad Dog is probably a relic of an ancient star configuration which included the now derelict Bison-man. Together they constituted a version of the 'Lion-bull' conflict, which is widely thought to symbolise the seasonal conflict between summer and autumn. Here the bull, who represents the autumn rains slays the lion of summer ...

"... the pre-Columbian Toadstool-god Tlalóc, represented as a toad with a serpent head-dress, has for thousands of years presided at the communal eating of the hallucigenic toadstool psylocybe; a feast that gives visions of transcendental beauty. Tlalóc's European counterpart, Dionysus, shares too many of his mythical attributes for coincidence; they must be versions of the same deity ... I suggest that a secret Dionysiac mushroom cult was borrowed from the native Pelasgians by the Achaeans of Argos. Dionysius's Centaurs, Satyrs, and Maenads, it seems, ritually ate a spotted toadstool called 'flycap' (amanita muscaria), which gave them enormous muscular strength, erotic power, delirious visions, and the gift of prophecy ... " (TheWhite Goddess)

... Mercury was used in the process of curing pelts for hats, making it impossible for hatters to avoid inhaling the mercury fumes given off during the hat making process; hatters and mill workers thus often suffered mercury poisoning, causing neurological damage, including confused speech and distorted vision ...

... The first day in the lunar calendar was (O)Hiro, which also was the name for Mercury. When Father Light (Sun) was gone, then the Full Moon would take a step forward and steal his position ...

In the Babylonian zodiac map (see above) the symbol for Mercury was placed between Frond and Furrow, while the symbol at the Lion corresponded to that of Jupiter and the symbol at Lupus to that of Saturn:

And instead of the usual Sun symbol there was a double circle, evidently a further development of the p.m. sign:

Possibly the corresponding rongorongo double circle sign was drawn outside instead of inside - cfr Cb1-19:

... Only the outline of an object or a 'person' should be drawn according to the rongorongo rules of writing. In this respect the rongorongo system evidently stands in opposition to the Mayan glyphs, where the inside is very detailed. A few random examples:

Mayan glyphs
Rongorongo glyphs

In the Mayan system also the orientation of writing and the orientation of the glyphs are opposite to that of rongorongo. The text moves from right to left and the front of the glyphs - if such an aspect can be seen - is at left. I do not believe this is just a coincidence. Maybe there was a conscious effort to keep the systems apart (of course there were contacts between the Polynesians and their Mayan neighbours in the east). Maybe the upside down sky north of the equator implied everything else should also be different. In the Mayan system of writing I cannot perceive any sign of the dimension 'inside' contra 'outside' in the glyphs. Maybe they did not attatch any meaning to this dimension. But in rongorongo the difference between the 'outside' and the 'inside' is essential. When occasionally some sign is drawn inside the outline of a glyph we must pay attention ...

Ga. Preposed plural marker of rare usage. 1. Sometimes used with a few nouns denoting human beings, more often omitted. Te ga vî'e, te ga poki, the women and the children. Ga rauhiva twins. 2.

The sequence of heliacal star dates in the text seems here to make a jump ahead with 1 place, because 366 = 365 + 1 and from Arcturus, Syrma (215) to Zuben Elgenubi (224) there were not 9 but 8 glyphs. Likewise were there 9 precessional days from 32 to 41 (Bharani). The sky dome was moving said Metoro where the Full Moon reached Mira. Maeva.* T. 1. Move. Rangi-maeva = Moving Sky (name of a marae). 2. Greet, greeting. Henry.
... The leap day was introduced as part of the Julian reform. The day following the Terminalia (February 23) was doubled, forming the 'bis sextum - literally 'double sixth', since February 24 was 'the sixth day before the Kalends of March' using Roman inclusive counting (March 1 was the 'first day'). Although exceptions exist, the first day of the bis sextum (February 24) was usually regarded as the intercalated or 'bissextile' day since the third century. February 29 came to be regarded as the leap day when the Roman system of numbering days was replaced by sequential numbering in the late Middle Ages ...

At the time of Bharani the Demon star Algol was at the Julian equinox and at the time of Hyadum II the Mouth of the Sea Beast (Menkar) would have arrived in day 60 (MARCH 1). FEBRUARY 28 was day 31 + 28 = 59 corresponding to May 3 (123) - 64. ...Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame. Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah, He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection. - Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 139–144. But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness, And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind. And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more. And they believed; so We permitted them to enjoy (their life) for a while. - Qur'an, chapter 37 (As-Saaffat), verse 145–148 ...

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.

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 ...
