138. In the night of April 4
AD 2023 we should have been able to perceive the location of the planet Mars
to be around 8 right ascension days before Mebsuta in the
Gemini constellation, which would have corresponded to the right
ascension line at the right hand of Orion, viz. ξ Orionis:
... Earth has its place at the centre and is
(at it were) the rich soil of Heaven.
Earth is Heaven’s thighs
and arms, its virtue so prolific,
so lovely to view, that it cannot be told at one time of
telling. If fact earth is that which brings these five elements
and four seasons all together ...

... The 'Candelabra' has a rectangular,
box-like base, enclosing a circle, out
of which rises the representation of a
wide central vertical bar, more than 240
meters in length, running north to
south. This is crossed, about one-third
of the way up, by a triangular
contraption running east to west for
some 120 meters, supporting two shorter
vertical bars. All three bars are
surmounted by curious patterns generally
interpreted as flames or rays of light.
Because of its auspicious geodetic
location half-way round the world from
Angkor and 108
degrees west of Giza - sites that
both 'resemble the sky' by modelling
specific constellations on the ground -
we have naturally considered the
possibility that the Candelabra could be
a work of celestial imitation ... |

Terminalia |
... 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 ...

... The divine names
Bran, Saturn, Cronos ... are applied to
the ghost of Hercules that floats off in
the alder-wood boat after his
midsummer sacrifice.
His tanist, or other self, appearing in
Greek legend as Poeas who lighted
Hercules' pyre and inherited his arrows,
succeeds him for the second half of the
year; having acquired royal virtue by
marriage with the queen, the
representative of the White Goddess, and
by eating some royal part of the dead
man's body - heart, shoulder or
thigh-flesh. He is in turn succeeded by
the New Year Hercules, a reincarnation
of the murdered man, who beheads him
and, apparently, eats his head. This
alternate eucharistic sacrifice made
royalty continous, each king in turn the
Sun-god beloved of the reigning
Moon-goddess. But when these
cannibalistic rites were abandoned and
the system was gradually modified until
a single king reigned for a term of
years, Saturn-Cronos-Bran became a mere
Old Year ghost, permanently overthrown
by Juppiter-Zeus-Belin though yearly
conjured up for placation at the
Saturnalia or Yule feast ...
... That Cronos the
emasculator was deposed by his son Zeus
is an economical statement: the Achaean
herdsmen who on their arrival in
Northern Greece had identified their
Sky-god with the local oak-hero gained
ascendancy over the Pelasgian
agriculturalists. But there was a
compromise between the two cults. Dionë,
or Diana, of the woodland was identified
with Danaë of the barley; and that an
inconvenient golden sickle, not a
bill-hook of flint or obsidian, was
later used by the Gallic Druids for
lopping the mistletoe, proves that the
oak-ritual had been combined with that
of the barley-king whom the Goddess
Danaë, or Alphito, or Demeter, or Ceres,
reaped with her moon-shaped sickle.
Reaping meant castration; similarly, the
Galla warriors of Abyssinia carry a
miniature sickle into battle for
castrating their enemies ...

... Long ago in
the very beginning of time there
dwelt within a shell an infant god
whose name was
Ta'aroa. He was Ta'aroa
the unique one, the ancestor of all
gods, the creator of the universe
whose natures were myriad, whose
backbone was the ridgepole of the
world, whose ribs were its
supporters. The shell was called
Rumia, Upset. Becoming aware at
last of his own existence and
oppressed by a yearning loneliness
Ta'aroa broke open his shell
and, looking out, beheld the black
limitless expanse of empty space.
Hopefully, he shouted, but no voice
answered him. He was alone in the
vast cosmos. Within the broken
Rumia he grew a new shell to
shut out the primeval void ... |
