Motion Source God Su

Full moon
The cycle of full moon to full moon (or new moon to new moon) was the fundamental unit of time in ancient times. Time changes all things.

Masculine Motion Source Power - Su

(July 3, 2022) Motion deities were responsible for all translational motion on earth. This is in contrast to the life deities which were responsible for all growth. Motion powers were the magical powers. The source of these powers were the motions of the heavenly bodies (astrological) and inner emotions, both were represented by the full moon god Su.

Alphabetic Akkadian Lexicon entry (Olmsted Jan 1 2022):

S [Akkadian su] god Su, motion-source-powers (noun), motion-sourced (adjective) - masculine motion class source power of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. These powers correspond to the full moon due to its role as the main time period definer of the ancient world.

Those who work with motion powers are magic crafters having two specialties, shepherd and astrologer:

R’, RY, RW [Akkadian rē’û, rēyû, rewû] shepherd (noun), to shepherd (verb) - “Shepherd” is often an epithet for the class of magic crafters using emotion magic. They are thus concerned about the emotional state of society (their flock). These are different from the astrologers who work with astrological powers.
AMR [Akkadian āmeru, āmiru] astrologer, seer (noun) – a specialist motion class magic crafter who deals with astrology as the interpretation of celestial signs and omens which call fate. Astrology is part of the motion class of divine powers since night sky motions were considered to be a source of motion on earth along with inner emotions.

The causal fluid of this class is “breaths” or "winds" which would later be translated as “spirits.”

This deity has also be translated as "Sin" or "Suen" which is incorrect. The /n/ suffix is the means "powers of" when applied to deities so those words should be translated as "powers of Su."

  1. Su lu Ḫu wa

Into English

  1. 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.

Line by Line Explanation

  1. Threads are the channels of the life network through which fertility fluids flow to trigger Yahu to manifest life forms. But, fertility fluids affected by negative human emotions which are not being covered up but are instead being made manifest by the motion source god and full moon god Su. The sun god Hu represents the life network but it is not being properly formed.
  2. Thu is the hermaphrodite motion power deity for the connective layer of the Ancient Pagan Paradigm. He is the one who normally filters out negative human emotions but he is being intimidated by the source power of this motion powers which is Su.
  3. Eagle vultures are the familiars which edit the life network by cutting off unwanted links.
  4. Lack of drought depends on a working life network represented by the sun god Hu and the pushing of the fertility fluids through it by spiritual motion (wind) powers represented by the owl familiar.
  5. Humans emotions are causing the misery
  6. The astrological motion powers are in control of human emotions right now.
  7. This line makes a connection between the life powers and motion powers by using the analogy of sex.

Translation of Carthage Stone Text Blames Drought on Negative and Unblocked Emotions (170 BCE)

(September 5, 2022) This text is blaming a drought on negative and unblocked human emotions. Normally the connective hermaphrodite motion power deity, Thu, blocked most of these negative emotions before they could affect the flow of fertility fluids through the life network represented by sun god Hu. In this case Thu is being restrained by the astrological motion source powers represented by the full moon god Su.

In English

  1. The lack of threading is the howling of the astrological-powers. Yahu (IA) is being the same as the threading. Nothing is being covered-up. Su manifests the emotions. Fertility-fluids are being pastured by the eagle-vultures. Nothing is being set by them. Anarchic magic is nourishing Hu.
  2. Magic is lacking Thu. The murderer is lacking Thu and veiling the Revealer (Yahu). The nest (network) determines the fate of Yahu (I'). Veiled is the Revealer. The nest's enemy is supported by this magic. Intimidation by Su is nourishing anarchy.
  3. Life-manifesting is being made difficult for the nourishments (fertility-fluids). The Revealer (Yahu) is being intimidated by the motion-powers. Hu is being nourished by the eagle-vultures. The Revealer is scarce. Those revelations are not being pushed by Hu's fertility-fluids. The redirection of threads is being inhibited. Nourishments are clamoring for the difficult life-channels.
  4. Nourishments are clamoring for the ignored life-channels. Nourishments nest the Revealer. Shouldn’t Hu be revealing those nourishments? The Nourishment-Revealer (Yahu) is clamoring for the difficult life-channels. A lack of scarcity depends on the wind and emotion-owls will be revealing that.
  5. The activity of Hu is being difficult for the Revealer (Yahu). The activity of the threads is being supervised and activated by the Reed-Boat (Ayu). Her magic is nested. The creation of invisible-forms is ending in life-manifestations, (but) emotions are making ineffective the life-threads. Misery is from those magical-powers.
  6. This magic is revealed by emotions. Activity and Hu are being attacked by the storm-powers. This makes anarchic the waters. The swarm (stars) is taking possession of the emotional-releasing and the astrological powers are making-scarce the openings. Those emotions open Hu.
  7. Misery is being revealed by magic. The Supervisor (Ayu) arouses Hu. Fertility-fluids are crafted by magic for that. Moon-eyes are associating with the threads. None of this is opening-up the fertility-fluids. None of this is fighting Ayu’s lack of energy. Do not the astrological-powers emotionally-empower illicit-sex..
