Beyond the Pale

The Rh Neg blood Type Mystery

Where there is uncertainty, man is quick to insert anything to plug the void. Remain sceptical at all times. Or should that be 'sssceptical'?.

Astral Mystery @ St. John's Chancel Ceiling

Astral mystery endures in Nova Scotia church

The mysterious chancel ceiling at St. John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg, N.S., was reconstructed in 2004 after a fire three years earlier. While locals now know what the star pattern represents, they don't know who originally designed it, or how.

Parishioners at one of Canada's oldest Anglican churches will be puzzled by an enduring enigma when they gaze heavenward this Christmas.

The chancel ceiling at St. John's Anglican Church in Lunenburg, N.S., has a special pattern of gilded stars on it, and while locals now know what it represents, they have yet to find out who originally designed it, or how.

The conundrum emerged after the church, built in 1754, burned on Halloween night in 2001 as a result of arson. The parish sought to reconstruct the building's interior as closely as possible, and it brought in parishioner Margaret Coolen in 2004 to re-create the ceiling over the altar.

But the church didn't have a complete set of photographs of the original star pattern, so Coolen, hoping the pattern reflected the actual alignment of heavenly bodies in the night sky, sought the help of astronomer David Turner of Saint Mary's University in Halifax.

That's when the first mystery emerged.

Turner recognized the constellation Perseus in the photos of the eastern part of the chancel ceiling. But Perseus, seen from Lunenburg, always lies in the northern part of the sky and never due east.

"We looked at them and didn't recognize any of the star groups," Coolen explained of the constellations' positions. "It looked like they might just simply be put up at random, but it didn't seem like someone would go to that trouble to put just random stars on the ceiling."

Coolen suggested that Turner instead look at the stars' alignment around 2,000 years ago — on Christmas Eve in the year of Jesus' birth.

Then, using software that plots the positions of heavenly bodies throughout history, Turner had a revelation: The chancel ceiling's pattern indeed reflected quite closely how the night sky would have looked from Lunenburg all those years past, when constellations appeared in somewhat different locations than today.

"I set the scene for sunset, and bingo! I found myself looking at Perseus in the eastern sky," he said.

But while the finding has excited parishioners at St. John's Anglican, who now know that they are gazing up at the heavens as they would have appeared on the eve of their Saviour's birth, it has also perplexed them.

The ornamentation they once merely called "Mariner's Sky" holds a stellar motif of immense astronomical significance. But who could possibly have calculated the astral positions, and how, remains a mystery. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2009/12/23/ns-lunenburg-church-ceiling-star-mystery.html?ref=rss

Bedford Barrens Petroglyph



Date: n.d., pre-1500 A.D.
Place: In situ: Bedford, N.S.
This petroglyph, or rock carving, was cut with stone tools, probably pre-dating the introduction of European-made metal tools, beginning about 1500. Hence it includes the earliest surviving human or humanoid figure of or by a Mi'kmaq. The eight-pointed star occurs in Mi'kmaq hieroglyphic writing as a symbol for the sun. The knobbed crosses occur elsewhere as part of the hieroglyph for 'star'. http://museum.gov.ns.ca

Other Mi'kmaq petroglyphs: Kejimkujik National Park, N.S.
This is the earliest photographic record of Mi'kmaq rock art. Parks Canada has completed a catalogue of all known petroglyphs within the boundaries of Kejimkujik National Park.

Right Image: This petroglyph is labeled "Micmac man" in the Parks Canada catalogue. Women occasionally wore these beaver hats, as did men. Rob Ferguson, an archaeologist with Parks Canada, feels it is a man. Ruth Whitehead thinks it is a woman in a skirt. Men's coats are usually depicted as shorter, and composed of two triangles, the points touching at the waist.
"Perhaps some of the most important images portray men and women wearing the traditional clothing of the time. In some cases, these images show highly detailed double-curve designs decorating the clothing. Foremost among these images is the unique peaked hat traditionally worn by Mi’kmaw women. Over 60 petroglyphs depict these peaked hats, suggesting the importance of women in the matriarchal Mi’kmaw society. Since none of this clothing remains today, these images provide the only examples of the motifs used by the early Mi’kmaq, before they were influenced by the arrival of Europeans." http://www.muiniskw.org/pgHistory3b.htm

The Mi'kmaw chaperon is described as a cap "of cloth, angular to the upper and back part of the head, and ornamented with small beads," it was "made of dark blue wool, with red wool additions and the double-curved motif, the cap had loose ends flowing over the shoulders, and was adorned with ribbons." (Elitekey, p.22)
The Mi'kmaq chaperon is preserved today as part of the traditional regalia worn by women at Pow Wows. It is a Medieval European head-covering that invokes a time in history when all married women wore the hood in imitation of their queen, who was also a member of the grail family. http://www.thelibraryofhope.com/basketstories2.htm
To them, the valley was Kespukwik and its primary river was Te'wapskik, meaning "flowing out between high rocks," perhaps a reference to Digby Gut. http://www.annapolisheritagesociety.com/historyofannapolis.htm

This is not a realistic representation of the Milky Way, but a symbolic rendering of a road of supernatural power, a connection between worlds like the twisted frog's leg of the Hočąk Medicine Rite, the rotating, double helix pathway to the Otherworld. Note that the star embedded in the Milky Way has a single helix "power line" descending downward, just like Gottschall has the double helix descending downward from each of the solar-like discs. Two more examples of the "double helix" design are found from the Great Lakes region. The one above right is described as an "unidentified abstract symbol", and the more diamond shaped one on the right is from the Cliff Lake paintings. http://hotcakencyclopedia.com/ho.Gottschall.html
