Asar, Ass, Oss, and the connection to Norse Gods
-
Asar, as far as I am aware, is the name of Osiris.
Old Norse áss has the genitive áss or ásar, the accusative æsi and ásu. In genitival compounds, it takes the form ása-, e.g. in Ása-Þórr "Thor of the Aesir", besides ás- found in ás-brú "gods' bridge" (the rainbow), ás-garðr, ás-kunnigr "gods' kin", ás-liðar "gods' leader", ás-mogin "gods' might" (especially of Thor), ás-móðr "divine wrath" etc. Landâs "national god" (patrium numen) is a title of Thor, as is allmáttki ás "almighty god", while it is Odin who is "the" ás.
"The" Asar is Odin, the king of the Gods. Does anyone think this connects etymologically or any other way to Osiris, including Qabalistically?

Another educating riddle from the Sphinx in chart format. Awesome!
I shall have to make a chart immediately of the continuum of Egyptian - Greek - Roman gods and see where they fit into everything.
I know this is kind of off topic, but it plays into what we are discussing.
Did you know that all 12 of the zodiac signs are attributed to the 12 notes on the musical scale, (The seven regular notes, and the five flats/sharps)?
I am trying to do a kind of 776 1/2 with these things at different times depending on what I am focusing on. But if you wish to see how humans have attributed the notes to the zodiac, (and correspondingly Paths and Hebrew Letters,) the link is..

I will only tell you that I believe these to be correct. I thought it a little strange that this was one of the few pages with the attributions, until I started doing Magick with music with these exact notes/signs. If you have one sign/note correspond correctly, then the res of them will as well due to the natural progression of notes and signs.
All I can really tell you, is that Aquarius does Magically correspond to A sharp/B flat, and from there I tested other correspondences with more than just minute connection and activity.
Thanks so much, Dar.

I believe that I've read on some page somewhere (and I do a lot of reading, and sadly little bookmarking) that Asar became El-Asar in Hebrew (which, I guess would be "God-Asar" ??). The Romans added "us" to indicate masculinity of the name (Elasarus) and later the E was dropped to create Lazarus.
I don't think this is the etymological connection you're specifically looking for, but it connects resurrections (if my memory and the story hold water).

Actually, it kind of connects to something. Anything helps, my Friend.
Thanks.

Maybe what you are referring to is that Lazarus was a resurrected man, a follower of the Big Lion at that.
Asar is a resurrected God. Maybe there is some serious connection there.

Hrmmm..
Microthinking makes me think of a human being or maybe other animal, turning their larger thinking processes into smaller, easier to understand ones.
Kind of like the opposite of the evolution of losing short term memory into long-term instinctual memory/thinking, but it sounds like it helps with the process if it is what I imagine it to be.

"Maybe what you are referring to is that Lazarus was a resurrected man, a follower of the Big Lion at that. "
Because I was curious, I spent some time to locate the website that I referenced (www.religioustolerance.org/chr_jcpa5d.htm). The website references the following as their source of info:
Tom Harpur, "The Pagan Christ; Recovering the Lost Light," Thomas Allen, (2004), Pages 128 to 136.
And states additionally
*A Canadian Broadcasting Corp. documentary based on this book won the Platinium Award at the WorldFest Remi Awards in 2008. *

Micro-thinking makes me think of Steve Martin's "Let's Get Small"
But after the laugh, I think of a process of research where you would dive deeper and deeper until you get to the root or the germ of the issue. Sort of like peeling back layers of an onion.
