GLYPHS
Aa5-15-5 The cycle of life has birth (*) on one side and death (†) at the other - they are complementary.
... tau is the 19th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 300 ... Taw is believed to be derived from the Egyptian hieroglyph meaning 'mark' ...
... it was the word emet that was carved into the head of the Golem which ultimately gave it life. But when the letter 'aleph' was erased from the Golem's forehead, what was left was 'met' - dead. And so the Golem died ... ... 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' ... ... 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 crossroads of 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 ... So the Breast (Schedir, *8) of Cassiopeia - no longer that of the Goat - had currently to be the proper station from where to begin.
... In the morning of the world, there was nothing but water. The Loon was calling, and the old man who at that time bore the Raven's name, Nangkilstlas, asked her why. 'The gods are homeless', the Loon replied. 'I'll see to it', said the old man, without moving from the fire in his house on the floor of the sea. Then as the old man continued to lie by his fire, the Raven flew over the sea. The clouds broke. He flew upward, drove his beak into the sky and scrambled over the rim to the upper world. There he discovered a town, and in one of the houses a woman had just given birth. The Raven stole the skin and form of the newborn child. Then he began to cry for solid food, but he was offered only mother's milk....
But the Gateway of the Goat was still there to be seen up in the night sky, between the Eagle and Aquarius:
The idea of a once upon a time liquid Tail of the Goat (Capricornus) could have been converted into the image of a 'dead end' - a dry area in the Earth Mountain (Mauga) and at left (in the past) of Aa5-77. The outline of the mauga sign is broken → †:
In which case the outstretched left front leg of Capricornus could be compared and contrasted to the outstretched left arm in the glyph. Indeed we can find the idea (pictorial sign) of an outstretched left leg also in Aries (which era came later than the that of the Goat):
Which should explain the outstreched leg also of Cassiopeia. And the heliacal date of Aa5-77 ought to be DECEMBER 11 (345) → 345 + 64 = 409 = 365 + 44 = February 13 = the day preceding All Hearts' Day (2-14): ... 1(0)7 is One and Seven. 10 days + 7 weeks = 59 right ascension nights = 2 * 29½. One day + seven weeks = 50 right ascension nights. → Gb4-16 → 416 → 2 * 208 = 8 * 52. Also twice 107 = 214 (Gb8-2) is at April 25 (115). And 214 → 2-14 → February 14 = All Hearts' Day. All the cycles were here converging and ready to once again burst into life ... ... The Hawaiian woman who was interviewed chuckled because the assassination of Captain Cook coincided with the day we have named All Hearts' Day - when in February 14 (2-14) the war-god Kuu returned to power ... ... Nevertheless, by virtue of a series of spectacular coincidences, Cook made a near-perfect ritual exit on the night of 3 February. The timing itself was nearly perfect, since the Makahiki rituals would end 1 February (±1 day), being the 14th day of the second Hawaiian month [Kau-lua] ... → Kau-lua ↔ Tau-rua:
... 'Terreoboo [Kalaniopu'u] and his Chiefs, had, for some days past, been very inquisitive abouth the time of our departure' - to which his private journal adds, '& seem'd well pleas'd that it was soon' ...
