CC 18

I felt this CC at Cley Hill also connected to Danebury hill in a continuation of using elements.danbury

I noticed that the cube was the same 9 x 3 as in Danebury (above), however 8 sections were missing. Using this “8” in the elements we come up with “Oxygen”. I felt the CC makers were letting us know of the connection not just to oxygen as a sustainer of all life, but that “air” itself is related to “spirit” in all things. If the Danebury CC was indicating that the world system we are currently in is void of “spirit” then we end up with nothing. Air or “Spirit” was blown into the nose of the first Adam in Judeo/Christian creation myth as an animator of all life.

In Hinduism, Vayu (Sanskrit), also known as Vāta, Pavana (meaning the Purifier), or Prāna, is a primary deity, who is the father of Bhima and the spiritual father of Lord Hanuman. As the words for air (Vāyu) or wind (Pavana) it is one of the Panchamahābhuta the "five great elements" in Hinduism. The Sanskrit word 'Vāta' literally means "blown", 'Vāyu' "blower", and 'Prāna' "breathing" (viz. the breath of life, cf. the *an- in 'animate').

In Indian tradition the element Air is also linked to Shani or Saturn and the northwest direction.

The FEATHER

(shut)

Appearance: The feather is depicted as a tall ostrich plume whose tip bends over under its own weight.

Meaning: The feather, because of its name, "shut", was a symbol of Shu. Shu was the Egyptian god of the air and the father of the earth (Geb) and the sky (Nut). Shu was often shown wearing a feather in his hair. Occasionally Geb was shown dressed in feathers, a representation of the air, which covers him. Usually, the feather was a symbol of Ma'at, the goddess of truth and order. The goddess was always shown wearing an ostrich feather in her hair. The feather by itself was her emblem. In art, the feather was shown in scenes of the Hall of Ma'at. This hall is where the deceased was judged for his worthiness to enter the afterlife. The seat of the deceased's soul, his heart, was weighed on a balance against the feather of Ma'at. Also see “weighing of the heart ceremony. www.reshafim.org.il If the heart was free from the impurities of sin, and therefore lighter than the feather, then the dead person could enter the eternal afterlife. Other gods in the judgement hall who were part of the tribunal overseeing the weighing of the heart were also pictured holding a feather.

Thank you Lucy Pringle for a good aerial shot of this photo. Thanks Steve Alexander for the Danebury shot.
