Punic Stele Against Astrology-Magic 200 CE

(March 22, 2025) The image on the stone is a generic goddess. Her arms are straight out which prevents identification. The goddess mentioned in the text is the crescent moon goddess Ayu who also edits the life network.

The text supports the life powers represented by Ayu and is against the motion powers of astrology magic.

The text reads:

The Moon-eye (Su) does not do astrology-magic. The high-powers can be revealed by astrology-magic. The lack of revelations (of fate) will not nest involvement (between life and motion powers).
Will not that manifest-life? Don't do revelations (of fate). Don't nest Hu. Involvement will be revealed. The Reed-boat (Ayu) will be revealed.
Eagle-vultures are getting involved with astrology-magic. The [ene]my's revelations (of fate) are getting involved with fighting nourishments.
