  • A history of pirates: Eye on the main chance | The Economist

    Dec 15th 2012 |From the print edition




    The Pirate Organisation: Lessons from the Fringes of Capitalism. By Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne. Harvard Business Review Press; 208 pages; $22 and £14.99. Buy from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk

    PIRATES get a bad press, or so Rodolphe Durand and Jean-Philippe Vergne conclude in their short history of the profession. Pirates are not marauding egotists who prize only bullion and rum, argue the two French professors; they are in fact heroic risk-takers who defy the excesses of capitalism and the tentacles of state control. Nor are they simply the hook-handed, peg-legged sea dogs of popular legend. Modern Blackbeards are hackers and gene-tinkerers. They will come to change capitalism for the better, Messrs Durand and Vergne think, as pirates often do.



    Pirates have a long history, from plunderers of the Barbary coast to modern Chinese cybercriminals. St Augustine reported a convicted pirate’s testy exchange with Alexander the Great: “Because I have only one rickety ship, I’m called a bandit, and because you have a large fleet, you are called an emperor,” says the plucky seafarer. Defenders of internet freedom make similar stands. A 1996 act bringing in anti-indecency rules to the web “attempts to place more restrictive constraints on the conversation in cyberspace than presently exist in the Senate cafeteria,” said John Perry Barlow. Hackers rallied to his cause.

    Piracy arises in the same way. Territory is discovered, be it the New World or the world wide web. The state seeks to impose laws and take ownership. Pirates resist. In doing so, the authors argue, they are fighting for a public cause. When the British granted a subcontinent to the East India Company, pirates raided ships to end the monopoly ( can also be ideological monopoly ) . Pirate radio stations struggled against the BBC’s grip on broadcasting. Cyberpirates want an internet for everyone, and so-called biopirates ignore laws on DNA manipulation with the aim of beckoning in genetic engineering for all. Some pirates are recruited by the state: Sir Francis Drake pilfered for England, and the Pentagon employs past hackers, too. But in the end, the state loses its monopoly. The pirates win.

    Messrs Durand and Vergne make a point of welcoming the victory of pirates. This is surely wrong. Buccaneers were not freedom-fighters with eye-patches, but petty robbers, as repugnant as the imperialists they slew. Is all piracy to be welcomed? Terrorists who fight the state monopoly on nuclear weapons are pirates by the authors’ logic, but nukes for all may be a bad idea. Nevertheless, this is a stimulating book filled with new ideas. Philosophically minded land- lubbers will enjoy it just as much as barnacle-backs.

    Geuzen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Geuzen (French: Les Gueux, English: the Beggars)
    Geuzen (French: Les Gueux, English: the Beggars) was a name assumed by the confederacy of Calvinist Dutch nobles and other malcontents, who from 1566 opposed Spanish rule in the Netherlands. The most successful group of them operated at sea, and so were called Watergeuzen (French: Gueux de mer, English: Sea Beggars). In the Eighty Years' War, the Capture of Brielle by the Watergeuzen in 1572 provided the first foothold on land for the rebels, who would conquer the northern Netherlands and establish an independent Dutch Republic. They can be considered either as privateers or pirates, depending on the circumstances or motivations.[1][2]

    Tortuga (French: Île de la Tortue, IPA: [il də la tɔʁty]; Haitian Creole: Latòti; Spanish: Isla Tortuga, IPA: [ˈisla torˈtuɣa], Turtle Island) is a Caribbean island that forms part of Haiti, off the northwest coast of Hispaniola. It constitutes the commune of Île de la Tortue in the Port-de-Paix arrondissement of the Nord-Ouest Department of Haiti. The island covers an area of 180 km² (69 mi²)[1] and its population was 25,936 at the 2003 Census. In the 17th century, it was a major center of Caribbean piracy. Its tourist industry and reference in many works has made it one of the most recognized regions of Haiti.

      Baron Samedi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      Baron Samedi (Baron Saturday, also Baron Samdi, Bawon Samedi, or Bawon Sanmdi) is one of the Loa of Haitian Voodoo. Samedi is a Loa of the dead, along with Baron's numerous other incarnations Baron Cimetière, Baron La Croix, and Baron Kriminel. He is the head of the Guédé family of Loa, or an aspect of them, or possibly their spiritual father. 'Samedi' means 'Saturday' in French. His wife is the Loa Maman Brigitte.

      Big Bad Voodoo Daddy - Save My Soul - YouTube

      Portrayal

      He is usually depicted with a top hat, black tuxedo (dinner jacket), dark glasses, and cotton plugs in the nostrils, as if to resemble a corpse dressed and prepared for burial in the Haitian style. He has a white, frequently skull-like face (or actually has a skull for a face) and speaks in a nasal voice.

      He is a sexual Loa, frequently represented by phallic symbols and is noted for disruption, obscenity, debauchery, and having a particular fondness for tobacco and rum. Additionally, he is the Loa of sex and resurrection, and in the latter capacity he is often called upon for healing by those near or approaching death, as it is only Baron who can accept an individual into the realm of the dead.[1][2]
      in other words a Horn Dog : horn dog - Wiktionary



      Baron Samedi spends most of his time in the invisible realm of voodoo spirits. He is notorious for his outrageous behavior, swearing continuously and making filthy jokes to the other spirits. He is married to another powerful spirit known as Maman Brigitte, but often chases after mortal women. He loves smoking and drinking and is rarely seen without a cigar in his mouth or a glass of rum in his bony fingers. Baron Samedi can usually be found at the crossroad between the worlds of the living and the dead. When someone dies, he digs their grave and greets their soul after they have been buried, leading them to the underworld.

      Baron Samedi is the leader of the Guédé, Loa with particular links to magic, ancestor worship and 13 - Death .[3]
      Loa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

      The Loa (also Lwa or L'wha) are the spirits of Haitian Vodou. They are also referred to as Mystères and the Invisibles, in which are intermediaries between Bondye (Bon Dieu, or good god)—the Creator, who is distant from the world—and humanity. Unlike saints or angels however, they are not simply prayed to, they are served. They are each distinct beings with their own personal likes and dislikes, distinct sacred rhythms, songs, dances, ritual symbols, and special modes of service. Contrary to popular belief, the loa are not deities in and of themselves; they are intermediaries for a distant Bondye.

      La petite mort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia



      Gebo – Rune Meaning | Rune Secrets

      La petite mort, French for "the little death", is an idiom and euphemism for orgasm.

      More widely, it can refer to the spiritual release that comes with orgasm or to a short period of melancholy or transcendence as a result of the expenditure of the "life force", the feeling which is caused by the release of oxytocin in the brain after the occurrence of orgasm.

        • Ancient Egyptian necklace found on the skeleton of a ‘virgin priestess’ in Siberian burial mound - In2EastAfrica - East African news, Headlines, Business, Tourism, Sports, Health, Entertainment, Education

          Made of brightly coloured laminated glass, the priceless jewellery was found gracing the neck of a 25 year old woman in a remote burial mound in the Altai Mountains.


          Scientists say she died between 2,300 and 2,400 years ago and was a kinswoman of the famous tattooed ‘Princess Ukok’, whose astonishing body artwork preserved in the permafrost has led to worldwide interest.

          In fact, while it has been nicknamed ‘Cleopatra’s Necklace’, the highly-coloured necklace pre-dates the exotic last Pharaoh of Ancient Egypt and originates around the time that Alexander the Great dominated the world from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas.

          The 17-bead necklace is fully intact and completely unique in the former Soviet Union.

          Archeologists say it throws startling new light on the level of civilisation in Siberia in the Scythian epoch.

          ‘What we have found is of much more than local importance’ – said Professor Andrey Borodovsky, 53, of the Institute of Archeology and Ethnography of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

          Altai Mountains - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

          The Altai Mountains (Altay Mountains) are a mountain range in East-Central Asia, where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan come together, and where the rivers Irtysh and Ob have their sources. The Altai Mountains are known as the original locus of the speakers of Turkic[1] as well as other members of the proposed Altaic language group. The northwest end of the range is at 52° N and between 84° and 90° E (where it merges with the Sayan Mountains to the east), and extends southeast from there to about 45° N and 99° E, where it gradually becomes lower and merges into the high plateau of the Gobi Desert.

          In Turkic and Mongolic languages, the name, Altai, means the "Golden Mountain"; al meaning gold and tai, mountain. (Chinese: 金山; literally "Gold Mountain" in Chinese texts). The proposed Altaic language family takes its name from this mountain range.
          +

          The Altai Mountains have been identified as being the point of origin of a cultural enigma termed the Seima-Turbino Phenomenon[5] which arose during the Bronze Age around the start of the 2nd millennium BC and led to a rapid and massive migration of peoples from the region into distant parts of Europe and Asia.
          Seima-Turbino Phenomenon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

          Seima-Turbino refers to burial sites dating around 1500 BC found across northern Eurasia, from Finland to Mongolia. The buried were nomadic warriors and metal-workers, travelling on horseback or two-wheeled chariots. These nomads originated from the Altai Mountains.[1] The culture spread west from these mountains to the west.[2] Although they were the precursor to the much later Mongol invasions, these groups were not yet strong enough to attack the important social sites of the Bronze Age.[3]

          These cultures are noted for being nomadic forest and steppe societies with metal working, sometimes without having first developed agricultural methods.[1] The development of this metalworking ability appears to have taken place quite quickly.[2]

          • Shall we continue

            The Eye of Horus in Ancient and Prehistoric China, page 1

            (This thread will deal with the Eye of Horus only. I'll probably cover other symbols - the cross, the swastika, the square and compasses - in other threads. Unlike the Eye of Horus, these symbols have been found in China since prehistoric times. I also won't cover the one-eyed creatures in prehistoric China, but I hopefully will in another thread.)

            The first known appearance of the Eye of Horus would be the Nestorian Stele (c. 781 A.D.), which I'll call the Nestorian Tablet from this point because 'stele' is so hard to spell. The tablet is a giant wall of Chinese text with some Syriac
            The tablet was written by Persian monk Jingjing, who then sent the writing to Lü Xiuyan to inscribe it. (Some claim that this guy was Lü Dongbin, but that doesn't make a lot of sense to me since Lü was a Daoist monk and, later, deity). The tablet was erected by another monk called Yazdhozid. It went missing until 1623, when it was unearthed. Some Western scholars claimed that it was faked by the Jesuits, but modern scholars disagree.


            There's yet another thing about the Chinese name for Nestorianism, which is Jingjiao. 'Jiao' means 'religion'. 'Jing' usually means 'scenery' in modern Chinese, but the root meaning of the word is actually 'illumination'.

            Does this light worship - worship of illumination - ring any bells?
            The popular depiction of Horus at Roman times was a bird riding a goose or a goat.

            • The Veil of Isis or Mysteries of the Druids

              The simplicity of men, and the cunning of their priests has destroyed or corrupted all the religions of the world .
              When Isis died, she was buried in a grove near Memphis. Over her grave was raised a statue covered from head to foot with a black veil. And underneath was engraved these divine words:

              I am all that has been, that is, that shall be, and none among mortals has yet dared to raise my veil.

              Beneath this veil are concealed all the mysteries and learning of the past. A young scholar, his fingers covered with the dust of venerable folios, his eyes weary and reddened by nightly toil will now attempt to lift a corner of this mysterious and sacred covering.


              The priests of Egypt, always impostors, but once so celebrated, had now degenerated into a race of jugglers.

                  Blue Wizards - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                  Blue Wizards are fictional characters in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium.

                  They are two of the five Wizards (or Istari) sent by the Valar to Middle-earth to aid in the struggle against Sauron. They are called the Blue Wizards on account of their sea-blue robes (each of the other Istari had robes of a different colour), and their individual names are given in the Unfinished Tales as Alatar and Pallando. They were both sent to the distant east of Middle-earth, and therefore played no role in the events of the west of Middle-earth, as described in The Lord of the Rings. Consequently, little is known about them.
                  +

                  In a letter written at the same time Tolkien also wrote about their role:
                  "I think that they went as emissaries to distant regions, east and south, .... Missionaries to enemy occupied lands as it were. What success they had I do not know; but I fear that they failed, as Saruman did, though doubtless in different ways; and I suspect they were founders or beginners of secret cults and "magic" traditions that outlasted the fall of Sauron."
                  ------------ note the uncertainty of the tone used in the letter ....... awaiting the muse to confirm it seems .....

                  ....................similar story to Atlantis ..... Lemuria ...... High Brazil but more detailed .....



                  Tolkien gives multiple names for all of them. In Quenya Saruman was Curumo ("skillful one"), Gandalf was Olórin ("dreaming" or "dreamer"); and Radagast was Aiwendil ("friend of birds"). The Quenya names Morinehtar ("darkness-slayer") and Rómestámo ("east-helper") are given for Alatar and Pallando, though it is not clear which name goes with which wizard. Other names are noted in individual articles.

                  Self-Actualization
                  Realization of the divine structure in humankind
                  Increase in intelligence, memory and mental powers (passing tests)
                  Unlocking the third-eye hvel, the “mind’s eye”
                  Activating the dynamics of your own inner Christus, or Higher Self
                  Awareness of our roles as co-creator with the gods and nature
                  Mental and spiritual potential


                  My Notes:

                  In a spiritual sense, nobility refers to those who seek to comprehend the mysteries of Life and who strive to master these mysteries for greater awareness. Access to the Higher Self or ‘Christus’ of the soul is not restricted, as religions maintain. Even the staunchest athiest has a path to Enlightened Being, without ever having to profess belief in a god or faith. All humans can rise to this state as Perfected Human, regardless of name, race or creed. Christus is merely a Greek word which serves as a title given to any human being who evidences a state of unity with the Universal Mind, or God/Goddess. One could as easily use the word Buddha, as in Buddhism, or Illumined, as in Hermetic Philosophy.

                  From its very beginnings, the Northern spiritual tradition has maintained a path by which each individual human being can become a Christus, that is a completely self-actualized person, in time (lifetimes) and with great study and personal commitment. Furthermore, in the North this archetype is imparted within humankind as a genetic link, not a contractual link, with the gods. The promise is equality with the gods as an attainable human potential, which is one of the basis of occultism and the Enlightenment (the philosophy behind science).

                  Access to the collective unconscious of earth and humanity can also be gained by invoking Mannaz. Mimir’s Well is the Northern equivalent of the Sanskrit Akashic records. It contains information which provides answers to the deepest mysteries of Life, as well as being a storehouse of new knowledge waiting to be discovered. Mannaz is the rune of Mimir’s well, for Mannaz is the rune of human consciousness which ever seeks wisdom and insight to continue its evolutionary progress toward Perfected Human. See also LAGUZ ( related to Hagalaz – Rune Meaning | Rune Secrets as in T H OR ) for insight into the Well.

                  Mannaz is the rune of human intelligence and the rational mind. This rune is a particularly beneficial one for academic studies, tests and any contests of an intellectual nature. It is well placed when the task of dealing with matters that affect a society or entire civilization, especially those rooted in the individual human mind.

                    Pope Benedict surprises world, steps down citing frailty | Reuters

                    (Reuters) - Pope Benedict surprised the world on Monday by saying he no longer had the mental and physical strength to cope with the demands of his ministry, becoming the first pontiff to step down since the Middle Ages and leaving his aides "incredulous".
                    A Vatican spokesman said the pontiff would step down from 2 p.m. ET on February 28, leaving the office vacant until a successor was chosen to Benedict who succeeded John Paul, one of history's most popular pontiffs.

                      Top 10 Interesting Facts about theÂ*Scythians - Listverse

                      The Scythians were a nomadic tribe that dominated the steppes for nearly five hundred years (From the 8th to approximately the 3rd Centuries BC). The Scythians spoke a tongue from the Northeastern Iranian language family. The Scythians were renowned for their ability to shoot their arrows with deadly accuracy from horseback. This talent astounded their neighbors, who referred to them as the “horse-bowmen.” The greatest amount of territory under Scythian influence extended west to east from Ukraine to an area of Siberia just above Mongolia. Scythians settled as far west as what is now modern-day Romania and Hungary and appeared in what is now modern-day Iran just as the Assyrians and Medes were battling for supremacy in the Near-East.

                      Equipment



                      The full-bearded Scythians wore tall pointed caps, long coats clasped around their waists by a belt, and pants tucked into their boots. The wealthier warriors had iron scales sewn to leather as jackets, while the average Scythian relied on their round oblong wicker shields draped in leather for protection.

                      The primary weapon of the Scythians was their short composite bow, which could fire an arrow up to eighty yards. When they hunted birds, the Scythians used a fine arrowhead, as they aimed for the eyes. When they shot at other warriors, however, the Scythians used barbed arrowheads designed to tear a wound open on the way out. They also brewed their own poisons for their arrow tips, a mixture of snake venom, putrefied human blood, and, to hasten infection, dung. The secondary weapons of the Scythians were the sagaris, a curved battle-axe, and the akinakes, a curved short-sword.

                      Death of a great man



                      As mentioned in the previous item, the burial of Scythian nobility was quite elaborate. In one kurhan uncovered in 1898, archaeologists found 400 horses arrayed in a geometric pattern around the body of the slain warrior. It was not only horses who were slaughtered, but consorts and retainers also had the dubious honor of joining their lord in the afterlife. Herodotus reported that mourners would pierce their left hands with arrows, slash their arms, and cut off portions of their ears in demonstration of their sorrow. A year following the burial, 50 horses and 50 slaves were killed, gutted, stuffed, and impaled on posts around the kurhan. The horses stood upright, mounted by the dead slaves, ghastly sentinels guarding the tomb of their slain lord.

                      Golden artifacts



                      Before the Scythians can be dismissed as blood-thirsty barbarians, one really needs to see their elaborate golden artwork. Scythian gold came from the Altai district and from frequent raids on Greek and Persian cities. Gold was sewn into their garments in the form of plates, fashioned into belts, broaches, necklaces, torques, scabbards, helmets, earrings, and ornaments, and worked into their weapons. The Scythians had an eye for design, especially depictions of griffins, lions, wolves, stags, leopards, eagles and – the Scythians’ favourite motif – animals in deadly combat. The historian, William Montgomery McGovern, claimed, “From the mass of evidence now before us, it seems highly probably that this Scytho-Sarmatian animal style spread to all parts of the ancient world and had an important effect not only upon European art but upon the art of ancient China.”

                      Tattoos



                      Herodotus testified that the Scythians wore tattoos as a sign of their nobility. A Scythian without tattoos showed that he was of low station. The existence of Scythian tattoos was confirmed in 1948, when a Russian archaeologist uncovered the frozen body of a Scythian chieftain. His tattoos included stylized images of a stag and a ram on his right arm, two griffins on his chest, and a fish on his right leg. These findings were seen by some experts as further evidence that fanciful Scythian depictions of wild animals had influenced the art of China, Persia, India, and Eastern Europe.

                      Marijuana



                      The Scythians were fond of marijuana and were responsible for bringing it from Central Asia to Egypt and Eastern Europe. In one Scythian grave, archaeologists found a skull with three small holes drilled into it – probably to ease swelling. Beside the skull, the archaeologists found a cache of marijuana, ostensibly to relieve the man’s headache in the next life. From Herodotus comes what is, in all likelihood, the most ancient description of hotboxing: “After the burial . . . they set up three poles leaning together to a point and cover them with woolen mats . . . They make a pit in the centre beneath the poles and throw red-hot stones into it . . . they take the seed of the hemp and creeping under the mats they throw it on the red-hot stones, and being thrown, it smolders and sends forth so much steam that no Greek vapour-bath could surpass it. The Scythians howl in their joy at the vapour-bath.” ( who wouldn't ...... vapor weed bath )

                      2
                      Amazons



                      Herodotus relates the tale of a clash between Scythians and Amazons near the Sea of Azov. When the Scythians learned that their fierce opponents were, in fact, women, they sent their most virile warriors to woo, rather than war, these female warriors. Somehow, the Amazons were seduced by the charms of the wily Scythians. They were, however, unwilling to be the brides of their Scythian lovers, turning their nose up at the domestic role that Scythian wives were relegated to. Eventually, according to the tale, the two groups formed a joint tribe.
                      There is likely little truth to this tale, but archaeologists have recently found the remains of a number of well-armed Scythian women. In all likelihood, this means that Scythian society saw a place for female warriors.

                      Showdown with Darius


                      In 513 BC The Scythians were attacked by Darius the Great, who raised a force of 700,000 men to put an end to their bothersome raids into his territory. Taking advantage of the vast steppe, the Scythians merely retreated when the Persians advanced and advanced when the Persians retreated. The Scythian scouts milled about, striking from a distance if any of the Persians ever had the misfortune of breaking formation or exposing a flank. Herodotus reports that, at one point, both sides had drawn up battle lines when a loud whooping arose from among the Scythian warriors. The Scythian horsemen suddenly broke their battle line and galloped impulsively after a hare. “These fellows have a hearty contempt for us,” Darius is reported to have muttered to an aide. Running low on food and morale, Darius eventually withdrew his army.

                        but wait :

                        from :Britain Key to World History.pdf

                        Additional light on the personality of Sosostris seems to be thrown by the ecclesiastical historian
                        Orosius, whose work Alfred the Great translated from Latin into the Saxon tongue. Calling him
                        Vesoges, King of Egypt, he states that he conquered "Asia" (originally the name for the European
                        ( Page 86 )
                        continent), marched his army into the northern parts of Scythia, and was pursued in turn by the
                        Scythians who laid Egypt waste.[154]

                        This sequel, in which the Scythians paid back the invading King of Egypt in his own coin, is
                        that spoken of by Jordanis, the historian of the Goths, in his work, De Rebus Geticis. He speaks
                        of the enforced emigration at a certain undefined but very early period of a great body of Goths
                        from "Scandza" (Scandinavia),
                        their primordial home, led by the prophet Zalmoxis, and that on
                        the River Tanais (Tana Fiord and River on the borders of Scandinavia and Lapland), the Goths
                        waged desperate war against the husbands of the Amazon
                        s and met the Egyptians in battle, whom
                        they afterwards pursued into Egypt. This account tallies with the invasion of these same Scythian
                        lands by Sesostris, and, moreover, the mention of Zalmoxis, who appears to have been the classic
                        version of Moses, gives a consistent line on this period and on the after events in the reign of
                        Sesostris.[155]

                        These terrible priests formed the councils of the state, and declared peace or war as they pleased. The poor slave whom they seated on a throne, and whom they permitted to wear robes more gorgeous even than their own was surrounded, not by his noblemen, but by Druids. He was a prisoner in his court, and his jailors were inexorable, for they were priests.
                        But worse still, these wicked priests sought through the land for the most beautiful young women, and trained them to dance in the temples, and to entice the devotees to their arms with lustful attitudes and languishing looks, and with their voices which mingled harmoniously with the golden bells suspended on their feet. They sang hymns to the Gods in public, and in private enriched the treasuries of the pagoda with their infamous earnings. Thus a pure and simple religion was debased by the avarice and lewdness of its priests: till the temples became a den of thieves: till prostitution sat enthroned upon the altars of the Gods.

                          Computerized 'Rosetta Stone' reconstructs ancient languages

                          University of British Columbia and Berkeley researchers have used a sophisticated new computer system to quickly reconstruct protolanguages – the rudimentary ancient tongues from which modern languages evolved.

                          Read more at:
                          The results, which are 85 per cent accurate when compared to the painstaking manual reconstructions performed by linguists, will be published next week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. "We're hopeful our tool will revolutionize historical linguistics much the same way that statistical analysis and computer power revolutionized the study of evolutionary biology," says UBC Assistant Prof. of Statistics Alexandre Bouchard-Côté, lead author of the study. "And while our system won't replace the nuanced work of skilled linguists, it could prove valuable by enabling them to increase the number of modern languages they use as the basis for their reconstructions." Protolanguages are reconstructed by grouping words with common meanings from related modern languages, analyzing common features, and then applying sound-change rules and other criteria to derive the common parent.

                            Thanks for the link to 'The Veil of Isis'- tha's going to keep me quiet for a while- more consolidative fodder

                            As an aside, i have come across the following words from the Sanskrit and i was wondering a number of things. First, here are the words:

                            ASVA AJA AGNI

                            ASVA may mean 'closed, but incomplete'- could this refer to potential energy? I have no other meaning for this.
                            AJA may mean open, now here i am chancing it as in Punjabi aja means 'come', which kind of related to open, functioning?
                            AGNI may mean closed or complete and also fire.

                            The above also keeps me out of trouble as i ponder the meaning. Are they terms for particles, states of energy? or a formula for circuitry?

                            Just thinking aloud/allowed.

                              In Rigveda, the term Daksha is related to Yagya [sacrifice].This is kshtriya community. His name is mentioned in Hiranyagharbha sukta and yajurveda purushasukta where he is connected with Prajapathi. In another suktha from rigveda he is described as born from Aditi ,and then gave birth to Aditi. In fact, his duty as a sacrificer has an indirect connection with the Goat face [Aja],he has been given by Siva in puranic period.

                              Hathor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

                              Hathor (pron.: /ˈhæθɔr/ or /ˈhæθər/;[2] Egyptian: Ḥwt-Ḥr, "mansion of Horus")[1] is an Ancient Egyptian goddess who personified the principles of joy, feminine love, and motherhood.[3] She was one of the most important and popular deities throughout the history of Ancient Egypt. Hathor was worshiped by Royalty and common people alike in whose tombs she is depicted as "Mistress of the West" welcoming the dead into the next life.[4] In other roles she was a goddess of music, dance, foreign lands and fertility who helped women in childbirth,[4] as well as the patron goddess of miners. ( ie "Gold Diggers" ) [5]
                              Hathor, along with the goddess Nut, was associated with the Milky Way during the third millennium B.C. when, during the fall and spring equinoxes, it aligned over and touched the earth where the sun rose and fell.[13] The four legs of the celestial cow represented Nut or Hathor could, in one account, be seen as the pillars on which the sky was supported with the stars on their bellies constituting the Milky Way on which the solar barque of Ra, representing the sun, sailed.[14]

                              Goddesschess: 2010-11-14

                              All Europe was named after the Goddess as a white Moon-cow, whom the Greeks mated to the white bull incarnation of Zeus. Her alternative name was Io, "Moon." Under this name she was presented in classic mythology as a rival of Hera, but patriarchal writers were always setting different manifestations of the same Goddess at odds with one another, posibly on the principle of divide and conquer. Hera herself was named Io, ancestress of the Ionians. In her temple on the site of Byzantium she appeared as teh same lunar cow, the Horned One, wearing the same crescent headdress as the Egyptian Cow-goddess.(2)
                              Herodotus said the milk-giving Mother Hera-lo-Latona was the same as Egypt's Buto, "an archaic queen of the Lower Kingdom."(3) The holy city of Buto, Egypt's oldest oracular shrine, was known to the Greeks as Latopolis, "city of Lat."(4) Of course Buto, or Lat, was only another name for Hathor, or Isis, or Mut, or Neith: all represented "the great cow which gave birth to Ra, the great goddess, the mother of all the gods ... the Cow, the great lady of the south, the great one who gave birth to the sun, who made the germ of gods and men, the mother of Ra, who raised up Tem in primeval time, who existed when nothing else had being, and who created that which exists."(5)

                              The Cow as creatress was equally prominent in myths of northern Europe, where she was named Audumia; she was also Freya, or a Valkyrie taking the form of a "fierce cow.(6) A semi-patriarchal Norse myth tried to attribute the creation of the world to the giant Ymir, whose body and blood made the universe ( got wine and bread ) . But he was not the first of creatures. The Cow preceded him, for he lived on her milk.(7)

                                As an aside, i have come across the following words from the Sanskrit and i was wondering a number of things. First, here are the words:

                                ASVA AJA AGNI


                                The above also keeps me out of trouble as i ponder the meaning. Are they terms for particles, states of energy? or a formula for circuitry?

                                Just thinking aloud/allowed.
