Astronomy is a fairly new discipline, although it had been studied by kingdoms, and official observatories for eons. The biggest telescopes have only been designed recently. Not until the epoch called the “Dark Ages” when the Inquisition of the Church decided astrologers and chemists were agents of the devil, did astronomy become an acceptable discipline.
        
 In 1516, Pope Paul VI decided all names for the stars and planets should be  replaced by Angels, Prophets, Apostles. The “Lady of the Blue Star” had to be replaced by Mary, the Mother of God whom he honored with the name  “The Immaculate Conception.”           
The problem encountered by the Pope was the fact that every religion in the world, no matter how primitive, or isolated they were, for example, Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Their main goddess was a blue star. This Blue Star entity was the Mother/ Creator of all children. (Melville) Yet, she was a virgin goddess. And the Blue Star [at first called an extra Bright Moon to be honored as sent by God] was her origin. (In  Apollona of Tyana).         

 When I went to Hawaii in 2003, the Conference I attended sponsored Luau. Several hula dancers performed at the end of the barbecue. The first dancer was dressed in a white sparkling top and skirt. A tall white feathered headdress firmly secured to her head. Her dance started normally, not too interesting since I could never do a hula.         

 After a short hula display, she began to sign water travel with her hands. Suddenly, the light over her headdress changed to a blue sheen and it remained there for the rest of the dance. I was in shock.        

  I had bought a book a long time ago, Leani Melville's called “The Children of the Rainbow.”  The Goddess of the Blue Star was called  URI. She was the goddess in the upper half of the Northern Cross, commonly known as Cygnus. When the missionaries came to the Islands, they changed three letters of the alphabet, T= K; W=V; R=L. They were positive that the natives were children of the Devil. ULI became an evil sorceress.      

 In the Greek Orthodox Church of Russia, the Black Virgin was the Mother of Christ. Many Russian male children are still called Yuri or Yori.  Was she re-painted in black robes so she would not be destroyed by church oppression?   

Later, in eighth century AD, Charles the Great was brought up witth the doctrines of the Byzantine Orthodox Church which was located all throughout Europe and the Islands of the North. When he became Emperor, one of the decisions he made was to change the name and language of his version of Church to the “Western Roman Empire.”            

 He ordered coins struck at Aix.where he built his new church he dedicated to the Virgin Mary, who garters were placed in a reliquary enshrined on the altar. Charles then ordered new coins inscribed with his new titles, “Carlos Imperator.” “Renovator of the Roman Empire” and “Christian Religion.”              

The image of Mary, the Blue Star of the Mar (sea [or the Blue sky]) was and still is strong in the Roman Church. Pope Paul VI decided that there was was enough of paganism in the Church; yet, he felt the Blue Star was too prominent in the minds of the people. In 1516, he had his priests collect information from all the religions of the world wherever there was a God, who had a ”virgin mother,” associated with a blue star.
              
Now, this Chart exists in a manuscript called “Virga Aurae.”  (Ts Copywrite version is available on the web.) The chart contains 72 religions. One does not attempt to destroy 72 religions. The Pope decided it was only necessary to create a more sacred version of the Virgin. Instead of fighting paganism, he decided to join them with a very important Papal Bull confirming the Virgin Mother of Christ was to be identified in the  church doctrine. She was herewith to bear the title of the ”Immaculate Conception.“

 In Mexico she stands on a black Crescent Moon. This indicates her volcanic origin; because the following monument has been renamed Coyolxauhqui/Tlaltecuhtli, it is quite possible this icon was not meant to be the Moon Reflected in the Lake called Texcoco. Another more recent study [infers] Coyolxauhqui may instead be, the goddess of the Milky Way.” [Miller, M. and Taube, K. (1993. 68)]   

The Moon Goddess Two goddesses have acquired a similar myth. First, Tlaltecuhtli, the male Earth lord was also a female goddess with the same name who was born in a burning tree.  (The Milky Way) She became the mythological Mixtec goddess painted blue, who was the source of heavenly power and approved for the dynasty of Apuala and Tilontango. [

Bodley Codex, Lamina 1-1] Her counterpart from the Aztec world named, Coyolxauhqui, had the same star myth as that of Tlaltecuhtli. The first pair were decapitated with one direct “shear thrust” between two volcanoes  Popocatepetl and Iztacihuatl, the white snow covered goddess.

 The latter is part of the Milky Way as the Summer Triangle whose main star; NASA’s “Hand of God” near Vega, is in a similar triangle constellation, called the Compass near Chile. It is the same constellation but due to the shifting view of northern stars seen below the Equator the name changed to Compass.  This iis a theory
 that coulld be tackled by an Atroomer who is interested in  the Mesoamerican  cultures.

In Peru our Summer Triangle has Vega as its apex instead of Deneb. (Baur & Dearborn 1995, 106) due to the 23.5 degree twisting spin which caused us to view the Mlky Way as a “broken tree.” in Mesoamerican mythology.

The “Hand of God“ is a Nebula, also called the Ring Nebula, seen as part of the Tree (Milky Way) of the Beautiful Rose (Phillips,1883, Note 21)

The exception was that Coyolxauhqui was not born in a burning tree. Instead she was the meteorite star-sister of Blue Hummingbird of the South, Huitzilopochtli. When she found her mother, Coatlicue, was pregnant as an earth goddess who had no husband, it was her sole desire to destroy her mother for her indiscretion. So Coyolxauhqui (shown above with a knife in her mouth) and her brothers, the Centzon Huitznahua [the stars of the Via Lacta: the Milky Way] attacked her mother.

Miller and Taube continued their narrative

“...Coyolxauhqui “might be the Moon Goddess was already an established conclusion in other publications (1978, XI, 96) in Newsweek.”

Nevertheless, both Coyolxauhqui and Tlaltecuhtli had a similar story. The Moon and Coatlicue, were joined into one disaster; but the other myth contained both Coyolxauhqui and Tlaltecuhtli booth of whom had been dismembered and thrown down to earth. Their bodies were not torn apart; instead fell as smaller meteorites to earth.

.

There was a clear distinction between Aztec Coatlicui, the center of the earth with Mitztl, the Aztec Moon goddess. The other two were the Mixtec Coyolxauhqui and the Aztec Tlaltecuhtli. The first pair were parted with one direct “shear thrust” that split the land from the Puerto Rican Trench all the way across Mexico through two previously mentioned volcanoes to Baja California.

The latter is part if the Milky Way as the Summer Triangle whose main star; NASA’s Hand of God near Vega, is in a similar triangle constellation, called the Compass near Chile.

I discovered, due to the shifting view of northern stars seen below the Equator. In Peru, our Summer Triangle has Vega as its apex instead of Deneb. (Baur & Dearborn 1995, 106) It is possible, therefore, that Coimpass may be the same constellation called the Summer Triangle found further Niorth in Mexico.

The second pair of moon goddesses were torn apart, head, torso, arms and legs; all pieces thrown down to earth, but only Coyolxauhqui had the Centzon Huitznahua come down to commiserate for her bad luck in the battle against her parent Coatlicue, who she had accused of illicit behavior.

Because of the disparity between the two pairs of goddesses, there is no doubt that Miztzli was, and is, the original name of the “forgotten” Moon.

                    

B with Tears of Gold from the Eyes

Vaillant G, (1941,  pl. 56).]

                  

    This image of an Olmec helmeted goddess with the same rounded dimensions, has three glyphs under each eye. The glyph to each eye have a “cross with four even arms and in each of four spaces there is a circle. The middle glyph is partially obscured, It may be seen clearer in the second [b] view of Metztli was the name identified by George Vaillant in 1941. Yet, this monumental head, created in the style of boulder-sized heads, wears the same type banded helmet as the Olmec heads without glyphs for identification.

The moon’s first view appears to be a museum copy [Fig: a]. On the other hand, Fig: b  has all the attributes of the Olmec boulder heads. Glyphs flowing with tears directly under her eyes appear to be the same as the single tear flowing from. However, a closer examination of Coyolxauhqui shows that the tears flow from the end of a rod, marked with squares as if to measure distance.

When the meteoritic stones plunged in the Atlantic Ocean, they created a “sheer thrust” across the Gulf of Mexico as far as the San Andreas fault line in the Gulf of Baja California.

As a result, the volcanic mountain range in central Mexico rose into the sky. In this way the body of the land south of the mountains was separated from Lake Texcoco contained within the caldera of the volcano Popocatepetl.

    Because of the extra height of the mountain range, the Full Moon would obliterate the stars reflected in the lake when it was in the sky. There the Moon would reflect itself in the waters of the whole lake.

Miztztli, after her body was removed from her head, the tears from her eyes were released into the Balsas River o the Pacific Ocean and through the Papaloapan River to the Atlantic Ocean. The view of the two ear plugs, end as a knife, while her slightly extended tongue clearly is another knife blade, just as Coatlicue who has one in her mouth. Both of these goddesses had their body removed by the barranca. However, the lower Balsas Valley did not get chopped into pieces.It was only a geological “sheer thrust,” a clean cut asm a barranca between the volcanoes.

Before 1941, Metztli, the Goddess, Keeper of the Moon, the night, and the farmers, was buried together with the Sun Stone at the southeast corner of the National Palace at the Parque Tezozomoc. Her name here in a schema by the reconstruction archaeologists in the Scientific American magazine, dated August, 1984 shows Coatlicue buried next to the stone of the Sun even though both the names: the Sun Stone and Metztli. as the moon, were used, and stated previously, by George Vailant in 1941. He did admit the Sun Stone, even with all the day names on it, constituted a useable calendar system. He was only recording what was on the stone.

By 1978, Metztli, the moon, postulated it was Coatlicue who was buried next to the Sun Stone. And again, in 1984,.she was again renamed as Coyolxauhqui, the sister of Huitzilopochtli even though her location was on the northeast corner in the Great Temple. (1984,85)

The name of Coatlicue got lost in the shuffle as the central iconic image on the Sun Stone. Even so, she was carved as a huge full figure female with two serpents facing each other as her head; which confirmed her origin with the Sun Stone., As its main central head with a knife in her mouth surrounded by the two serpents at the edge of the Sun Stone

The area below the volcanoes, the Balsas Valley, changed to a different temperature zone ranging from 12.5 to 28 Centigrade.It became the valley where “primavera nunca muere.” [Spring never dies.] The other river of tears of Miztzli, the moon goddess, where once men could also pan for gold, was the Papaloapan River which empties into the Gulf of Mexico.

Conclusion

Tlaltecuhtli is part of the Milky Way as the Summer Triangle whose main star; NASA’s “Hand of God” near Vega, in a similar triangle constellation, called the Compass near Chile due to the shifting view of northern stars seen below the Equator where in Peru, our Summer Triangle has Vega as its apex instead of Deneb  And because of our 23.5 degree spin, both north and south of the equator, one can discover changes in the direction of constelllations ommonly observed in the sky.
