I have previously said that in the song Wild Rover
“The landlady’s eyes opened wide with delight.”
could refer to the waxing (opening) of the new/dark
moon (closed eye) to full moon (open eye).
Or, they were opening wide with delight at seeing a handful
of sovereign coins.
I reckon you over-think things! ;-)
I liken the prodigal son’s years of wild roving to Rama’s
14 years in the wilderness, and to my 29 low/working
years, and the sovereigns bright to my hard negotiated
mystic proposal for the world developed during those
29 wilderness years. (On the other hand Jesus had
only 3 low/working years.)
However my attempt beginning this morning has failed
and I won’t try again until sunset tomorrow, regardless
of whether or not I sight the moon then.
No, I am trying to complete an attempt by early April Fool’s Day,
and Saudi Arabia claims to have sighted the moon today, so
I began a new global new age mystic activation sequence
attempt at 2329 UTC March 29, 2025.
Of relevance to Ireland, Amergin and Fionn had the common
seven years of low/working/wilderness/foresaken years.
Jacob had 7+an 11 year sunspot cycle=18. I have had
7+2 11 year sunspot cycles=29. Jesus and Gwydion
had 3. Rama, Moses, and Mohammed had 3+11=14.
The common seven is mentioned in this poem,
from John Matthews book Taliesin..., on p. 90:
Seven years your right, under a flagstone, in a quagmire,
Without food, without taste, but the thirst you ever torturing,
The law of the judges your lesson, and prayer your language:
And if you like to return
You will be, for a time, a Druid, perhaps.
(Ancient Irish Poem)
But anyway, this is getting off topic for the music groups,
so if you are interested further see alt.religion.druid .
