Summary

In this episode, I talk about the concept of the astrological wheel, and why the moon is different from the rest of the heavenly bodies in terms of its rotation, and how we can begin to understand that it does not have its own axis.

00:00:00.000 What you end up getting by reading over the Adas, I mean, is details, key details.

00:00:07.060 And I am of a belief that, theologically, that these stories are uniquely passed down

00:00:17.100 and have survived by divine machinations to express truths that we as a people are becoming

00:00:28.620 to understand that may be different from our ancestors but we're understood by the gods all

00:00:35.580 along you know the understanding of the the the sky by our ancestors and the idea of of Midgard

00:00:42.060 being a plane and that on that plane there is day and not that cross over the sky day and night

00:00:48.760 but we now know this centrifugal pull of the the planet uh and we know about its rotational pull

00:00:56.480 and we begin to understand that day and night is that rotation um so by that concept you know we

00:01:06.060 know that the earth in essence has two horses in rotation and that the sun is also spoken of as

00:01:13.120 having two horses but the moon is spoken of as having one horse and by no name and out of those

00:01:20.040 three astrological

00:01:22.240 bodies, those heavenly wardens

00:01:24.180 set by the gods, one of

00:01:26.220 them does not have its

00:01:28.020 own axis

00:01:29.860 rotation. Its rotation is based

00:01:32.320 around its gravitational

00:01:34.200 pull to the earth. And I find

00:01:36.260 that as a poetic

00:01:37.800 meta

00:01:38.760 point.
