Star Sirius

The Codex Runicus, shown above, was written in Latin year 1190 CE during the reign of Danish King Valdemar 1 according to the old Danish writing on its front page. This important book is the last testament of the Druids and the most complete statement of their philosophy which exists.
The Codex Runicus is now a part of the Arnamagnæan manuscript collection University of Copenhagen in Denmark. The collection in its entirety consists of approximately 3000 manuscript items, of which 1400 are in Copenhagen.
The collection is named after its founder, the Icelandic philologist and historian Árni Magnússon (Latinised as Arnas Magnæus, in Danish as Arne Magnusson). Shortly before his death in 1730 he bequeathed his collection of manuscripts and printed books as well as his fortune to the University of Copenhagen, where he was professor of Danish antiquities.

Star Sirius on Coins From Aegean Islands

(April 29, 2023) These images represent the star Sirius. When compared to a sun image the Sirius image's rays are not exactly triangular and those rays start away from the central disk. This star is the brightest star in the sky. During the summer it rises just before the sun giving it an association with the sun which is why it is also called the dog star in the sense of it being the sun's main companion. As a star it also represents  the motion powers produced by the astrological night sky. Thus it was the mechanism by which the motion powers could affect the life powers.  

The phrase "Dog Days of August" involves Sirius.” In Latin, the phrase "Little-Dog Days" is   “canicular dies” and it refers to the time of strongest summer heat in ancient Rome. This was also the time when Sirius was visible in the morning sky.  The word “canicula” in Latin comes from "canine-ula" meaning “little dog.  

The Alphabetic Akkadian Lexicon entry for Sirius is:

ŠR [Akkadian šēru] choir, choir conductor (noun), conducted (adj) – Likely also an epithet for the star Sirus, the brightest star of the night sky and the one which leads the rising sun in summer. Thus Sirius can be seen as the bringer of drought. The heavenly bodies were imagined as a choir working harmoniously together. In general it corresponds with the motion powers produced by the astrological night sky which affects the life powers. The astrological night sky was also home for the dead ancestral spirits so all motion was eventually sourced to emotions. Compare to T’ and TW meaning “pasture” which is another epithet for the night sky.

Coin From Thespiai, Boiotia, Greece (350 BCE) 

The coin shown at the lower left has the Alphabetic Akkadian letters:

  1. 'u  EZze

Which when translated into English is:

  1. This is impatient

This text is stating that the motion powers are anxious and impatient for something to get going.

Location of Kea Island

Kea is the ancient island of Hydrossa, home of the nymphs who lived near the many springs and fountains which kept the island lush during pre-historic times. The Great drought of 1170 BCE which ended the Bronze Age seems to have dried up the flow of these springs and the island became dry. This was perceived as the island being taken over by the star Sirius and such stories enter later mythology. Originally, the highest point on the island was designated as a sanctuary to the rain-god Ikmaios Zeus.  
The first settlement on the island dates to 3300 BC. Another settlement at Agia Irini dates to the third millennium and flourished for 1500 years. By 2000 BC this settlement was fortified and the island became more Minoan until the Mycenaeans invaded Greece. The town was destroyed at around 1500 BC and from that point on the settlement of Korissa, the current port, became more important.
From the 12th Century the island was colonized by Ionians from the mainland and known as Keos. By the 6th Century four independent cities were formed, known as Karthea (top print), Korissia, Ioulis, Poiessa. These cities had individual political structures though they would cooperate with each other in matters of foreign policy and security. Ioulis was inland while the other three cities sat on bays and sheltered harbors. They traded with civilizations as far away as Egypt and developed their art and culture.

Karthaia Today On Kea Island

This valley is the harbor core of the ancient city of Karthaia which was also the spiritual center of the island of Kea. At the left on the top of the cliff is the temple to the sun god Apollo. On the cliff to the left if the temple of Athena ("powers of Thu"). So one side was dedicated to the life powers and the other side was dedicated to the magical motion powers. In the center in the valley is the amphitheater which originated like all early Greek amphitheaters originated as a place to do public rituals. The harbor extended out into the sea which originally had a stone jetty to protect it.

Astrological Powers Are Not Energizing the Filtrate (605 0r 732 BCE Drought)

(April 29, 2023)  Main image on this seal is of a dog representing the dog star Sirius. This represents the astrological powers of the motion (energy) class of powers. Standing on the dog is a playful child standing on one leg which is probably meant to represent emotions which are the other source of motion powers.
