Life Connective Layer God Pair: Sun God Hu (Lugh) and Chaotic Horned Storm God Ba'al (Cernunnos)
Sun God Hu became Celtic Lugh while Ba'al became Celtic Cernunnos which is the Akkadian phrase ṢeR.NuNu meaning "Life-Power of Chaos."

Hu (Sun, Lion) and Ba'al (Horned Bull, Storm) Were Seen as Two Aspects of the Same Deity Since the Beginnings of Agriculture (11,700 BCE)
(July 3, 2022) The Bull represents the cloud hidden sun, the chaotic storm powers of the middle connective layer of the Neolithic Ancient Pagan Paradigm. These powers bring needed rain and so are complimentary to the visible sun called Hu which provides light and heat.
First Coinage From Lydia Shows 2 Sun Lions 650 BCE
The Lydian stater was composed of electrum, a naturally-occurring gold-silver alloy; though the coins are often reported to be struck from this naturally-occurring alloy, they were actually made from a specific and rather consistent mix of approximately 55% gold, 45% silver, and a small balance of copper. This indicates that silver and copper were added to natural electrum in order to achieve a more durable and balanced metal alloy. Although the extra copper slightly debased the coin's intrinsic value, it allowed it to exhibit a golden hue, unlike the pale white-gold color of pure electrum.

Etruscan Orcus Tomb 2, Image 4, Life God Hu Surrounded by Gods Alu and Yahu/Yahweh 490 BCE
(Sept. 16, 2023) The last image clockwise around the room shows a dejected life network god Hu standing between Alu and Ayu. Previously these deities were misidentified as Vanth, Agamemnon, and Tiresias. Each plant in this scene divides the layers of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm which are represented by their main deities. From left to right are the god Alu, a dejected god Hu representing the malfunctioning network, and god Yahu. The left plant has 6 nymphs representing the 6 known planets of the sky shell between Hu and Alu. These planets are: Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn.

Mithras Killing the Bull of Chaos (150 CE)
Four more stars are visible to the right of the god's head. A lion cub and the serpent are licking the blood from the wound of the bull. A scorpion grasps the testicles. On each side of the bull is a torch-bearer: Cautes (left) with a torch pointed up and Cautopates (right) with his torch pointed down. The two Corinthian columns beside them are pointed in the same directions are their torches. These likely represent the seasons with Cautes representing summer and Cautopates representing winter. Mithra is looking towards the sun side which is the side of life and growth.

Sumerian Text Mentioning the Sumerian Sun God AN (2450 BCE)
(Jan 2023) The Sumerians also followed the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. Here AN is the Sumerian Hu. This stone was found in the Sumerian city of Sippar. This text was written on the expensive lapis lazuli stone imported from Afghanistan and would have been placed in a prominent place in a Sippar temple.
Text reads:
- AN (Hu) is the harvest-chief. BU (Ba'al) is the fishing-ground
- AN is the plant-grower
- The Lady (INANNA, Ayu) reaps with AN
- The Chief (AN) is submitting to the music-maker (INANNA)
- The Chief supplies the life-forms
- The three (AN, BU, INANNA) are making fearful the strings (life network)
- Their words form the earth
(May 5, 2023) Assyrian relief showing winged Hu (Shamash) as the winged sun disk over the tree of life whose branches represent the life network. This relief is from the northwest palace hall of Assyrian King Assurbanipal II at Nimrud. It dates to 883 to 859 BCE. The whole theme is that the king brings life and fertility to the kingdom.
The 2 kings holding scepters of power are pointing at the winged sun Hu who represents the life powers. Behind the kings are personifications of the god Hu holding pine cones containing pollen which they shaking over the king. The personified gods are also holding pollen bags. Pollen and bees are a representation of the feminine power (Ishtar, Ayu, Inanna) which act as the distributers and constrainers of fertility. Wings are always an indicator of a connective power deity.

(August 13, 2022) Read left to right. This is not a workshop tag but seems to be a temple tag with a religious phrase.
Translation into Akkadian
- Su lu Ḫu wa
Into English
- A lacking Su makes miserable Hu
The full moon god Su is the motion source god and his motion powers are needed to push the fertility fluids through the life network represented by the visible sun god Hu. If the fertility fluids are sluggish then life forms do not get manifested making all the life powers miserable.

Wall Relief from Mine L at Serabit el-Khadim Blames Human Emotion Magic for Causing the Great Drought (Sinai Text 3)

In Akkadian
Right Column
- etû dâṣu namû
- ṣamȗ Ḫu bā’u letû
Middle Column
- īnu ešû nâṣu
- agȗ u tu
Left Column
- e ittu šâmu
- atu ludȗ lâšu nu
In English
Right Column - agreement on the problem
- The boundary is disrespecting the fertility-fluid-Revealer (Yahu)
- Dehydration splits-off Hu's nest (network)
Middle Column - magic motion powers are the cause
- The moon-eyed (magic crafters) are confusing the repulsion
- The chaos is because of magic
Left Column - life powers are the cause
- No omen is forcing-fate
- Atu's fields (network) are influencing the Revealer
The right column is blaming the life power's middle layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm (boundary) for a drought. The network is not allowing fertility fluids to flow through it. These fertility fluids are needed to trigger the life form manifestations by the Revealer (god Yahu). The drying-out (dehydration) of fertility fluids causes the network (nest) represented by the sun god Hu to split-off from the Revealer.
The middle column blames the magic crafters for making the flow of the fertility fluids chaotic. These fluids are pushed through the channels by repulsion.
The last column absolves the motion powers from the astrological night sky. The drought is not due to fate but due to magic crafters.

The inlay on the right image shows a funeral parade with the divine powers of life and death represented by animals. The top panel has a hyena and a lion (chaos and order on earth) at the front of the parade bringing meat and drink for the deceased. Below that are some mythical creatures playing music. A dragon is playing the lyre. Below that is a singing scorpion man (paralysis power) who is trying to play a musical instrument but can't because of his claws. Beside him is a goat shaking rattles.

Location of Ulstad, Norway. It is not too far from Oslo.
(June 25, 2023) This text on a thin lead tablet which would would have been displayed in a Druid temple. Text tablet from Ulstad, Lom, Oppland. It dates to about 1300 based on its letter styles.
This text is blaming a drought on the lack of good integration between the life powers and magical motion powers. The first two lines blame the motion and life powers individually. The rest of the text goes to explain why integration is needed. (Letter assignments shown in images below.)

- (Blaming magic) Arousals (emotion-magic) should not energize astrology magic for leading Yahu (E'u) : Energy for astrology-magic can make trouble for Ayu. The pasture (starry night sky) can confuse the same. Don't bake [2 words].
- (Blaming life-powers) The weak-willed should not be energizing the network-birds. Baking is energized by them. Su can life-manifest nothing. Blockages are similar. Energize the motion-powers. Thu's motion-powers will do the same for life-channels. Energize Su.
- (Blaming lack of integration) Astrology-magic's involvement is making motion-powers the same. Those motion-powers cannot open those life-manifestation-powers : Are not the life-threads being expelled. Energized the pasture. Energize the astrological-powers. Irrigate those life-manifestation-powers.
- Confusion is from making baking-powers (life powers) the same (as magic powers). The boundary (sky-shell) confuses the life-manifesting. The eye-of-fate (Selu's eye, glowing full moon) is involving Su. Selu (Selene) is causing chaos with the foundations. Nothing is covering-up the motion-power's involvement with [2 words]
- Those high-life-powers are fate-cursed. The lack of the sky-shell is from Hu (sky shell sun god) neglecting YaHu (Y'). Astrology-magic of the divine-realm can redirect the eye-of-fate (Selu's eye, glowing full moon). Break-through the openings by nourishing Hu. Energize the arousal of Selu's eye. Astrological powers [2 words].
- The falseness of Hu can involve the Observer (Su). Astrology-magic cannot manifest {humans}. Life-threads cannot be redirected by energy. Energy can redirect those Hu-powers. Pain divides the filtrate. [sentence]
- Eagle-vultures are rebelling against life-manifestor (Yahu). The same are gifting nothing. Hu is lacking the same life-threads. Those are involving life-manifestations. Is not Hu influenced by energy. The pasture (starry night sky) can be energized by astrology-magic. Don't emanate [2 or 3 words] life-manifestations are not the same
- Nourishments for astrological-powers are lacking. Nothing is for Selu's Eye and nothing is for similar neglected-ones. Fate-curse's winds belch-out the darkness. The life-network's Hu manifests death.
- This howling is from lacking life-manifestations. Are not those from Hu. Death is raking-in those Hu-powers. The same is angering Hu.
