Pheonix Originated with the Fire Making Bow Drill
(April 22, 2024) The bow drill (Akkadian qaqû, quqû) was used to start fires with friction. It consisted of a stick pushed down upon a dry, notched piece of wood having kindling in the notch, and a bow which was used to rapidly turn the stick. The bow can be imagined as bird wings while the stick can be imagined as its body. This image would seem to be the origin of the phoenix fire-bird mythology.
The word "Phoenix" is Greek φοῖνῐξ (phoînix). Transliterating that into Druid Akkadian letters and then translating it in Akkadian forms the phrase:
Ṭa'u INu ISu - Near to the moon-eyed-one's woman (Selene) or more freely: "Near to the astrological-magic-crafter's goddess Selene" in which Selene is the celestial light goddess. These are the lights of the stars and also the light of the souls (the spark of life) so the phoenix became a symbol of human and animal reincarnation.
