    wanted to share the idea that came while reading this part of the book:::

    the four Angels bear some resemblance to the idea of the four 'Royal Stars', ancient Guardians of the '4 Quarters' of the Sky:

    North: Fomalhaut, which name literally means "the Fish's Mouth" (the largest star in the constellation Piscis Austrinus)
    --- the scryer 'enters' the vision here, i.e. it starts from the North; the book says AMBZ - enumerates to 50 (hebrew values, as Jim introduced) -- among other things, the idea of entering 'into the belly of the beast' [the deep subconscious that leads to the collective unconscious] comes to mind...

    East: Aldebaran, which literally means "eye of the Bull"
    --- the idea we get here is 'central point', and the Sun; in the vision, above all the other images there is "a Golden Sun, having an eye, whence a greath Light"

    South: Regulus, meaning "little king" (in Greece, basiliskos aster (Little King star); in Rome, Basilica Stella)
    --- the symbolism of Light and Love, but also that of the Son/Sun, is emphasized in the vision.

    West: Antares, also called "the Heart of the Scorpion"
    --- a flaming book in the vision, "Within was drawn a fiery scorpion, yet cold withal"...

        Hi Jim,
        Just got your book. Find it really interesting, both a refresher of the Tree, and love the way you added the charts to the visions.
        Thanks,
        Chris Hanlon

          ...Jim, reading the commentaries on the 29th Aethyr now --- and I see that you have already made the connection to the 4 Royal Stars! but now, in the 29th, the sequence is different --> Antares is on the east, Aldebaran setting [and a personal note - I was born at exactly such a moment!]...
          and this is the 'natural' sequence really - because, when Fomalhaut rises for example, Antares culminates, Reguluts sets, Aldebaran is on the lowest point; etc.
          -- so, I wonder how could it be and why that the ancient said Aldebaran guards the east and Antares west, and Regulus south, Fomalhaut north !!?...

          back to reading now...
          [ if there was a smiley depicting a starry night, I would use it now to express my overall experience of the book so far, but since there's not, I'll just keep silent...]
