Discussion of the Konstellations

[Linda]

Example #1: Virgo

Virgo is very often depicted holding some kind of vegetation: flowers or ears of corn. In the constellation, this attribute is called spica, and it goes back to the classical origins of the figure in female goddesses of the harvest like Demeter and Persephone.

or Hecate. again a virgin goddess, ruling over the skies, the earth, and the sea.

or perhaps the tripartite version, incorporating Demeter & Persephone, which would add agriculture and seasons,

and has also been linked with other triples such as the spinners of fate (hey we just talked about them), the

charities, the graces, etc.

along with other goddesses and their various incarnations, Artemis/Diana (the latter a triple herself), for instance,

adding animals and childbirth, while maintaining the virgin status.

perhaps thusly connecting to other triumvirates and trinities.

Also I believe this is actually the first nymph of the quire if the pages are reordered, perhaps she is ushering in the

history of everything? looking at some of the concepts I just mentioned, Genesis comes to mind.
