The 'bird' (manu - not manu rere → not alive,
not moving) depicted at November 18 -
at 'the
second ceremony of breaking the coconut' -
... The
correspondence
between the
winter
solstice and
the
kali'i
rite of the
Makahiki
is arrived
at as
follows:
ideally, the
second
ceremony of
'breaking
the
coconut',
when the
priests
assemble at
the temple
to spot the
rising of
the
Pleiades,
coincides
with the
full moon (Hua
tapu)
of the
twelfth
lunar month
(Welehu). In
the latter
eighteenth
century, the
Pleiades
appear at
sunset on
18
November.
Ten days
later (28
November),
the Lono
effigy sets
off on its
circuit,
which lasts
twenty-three
days, thus
bringing the
god back for
the
climactic
battle with
the king on
21 December,
the solstice
(= Hawaiian
16
Makali'i). The
correspondence
is 'ideal'
and only
rarely
achieved,
since it
depends on
the
coincidence
of the full
moon and the
crepuscular
rising of
the Pleiades
...
appears to be
female, due to how her beak has been drawn.
And the eye-catching
design of her wing up in front could be indicative of a
gravitational flow
downwards. This would fit with the idea of a
'milky river'
emerging high up from the Breast of Cassiopeia.
... At top center of the bottom side of the
Phaistos Disc we have found the Breast (Schedir which
culminated at 21h in November 18) together with its
outflow in form of the Milky Way
river.
When a coconut shell is forced open its nourishing
interior, a milky substance, will flow out.
... Of course! Such a nut will, if it is
broken, generate a milky fluid similar to that from a woman's
breast! Both were cues for thinking of the Milky Way.
Therefore the
culmination (at 21h) of the star named Breast (viz.
Schedir in Cassiopeia) had to coincide with November 18 ...
