What is the Orion constellation story?

Answer 1

There is no exact story in any astral myth. They all vary. Sometimes because they mark a different date as in Damuzi (Mars) turning around in Scorpio, or turning around in the Gazelle constellation (?), which ever that one is. One example is the Phoenix story, not all of them say when the egg hatches that it comes out as a worm. And some do not mention an egg at all, it is reborn from ashes when it burns at death. To ask for the original story is like finding the original wife Mrs.Santa Claus

A lot of myths are saying it is Nimrod the hunter. It sets above the star Sirius (Sothis) which is the eye of the dog in the west but rises as 70-day Anubis the resurrected man. After Orion rises, then this Sothis does under it as Leo rises to the left toward the north and Leo cuts overhead to the south while Orion is directly south. I would think that since some claim Orion is Horus that it is an hour-glass. Egyptians had sand clocks in which the sand funnels down in a trickle. Horus is a new born never existing before, while Osiris is that which dies and comes back as Horus reborn. A heliacal-rise after absence is both Horus and Osiris (the new born and reborn). If counting a cycle from rise to rise, the first date would be a Horus date, and the second date the Osiris date. This means observing a span of Venus you may look at Venus and call it a Horus date, meaning your first date of observation. You now wait for Venus to cycle perhaps 584 days or perhaps you wait for the same stars and that takes 8 years so that the date it rises again is called its Osiris date, died and reborn, its rebirth date. Now as regards the Horus sun this would be a rebirth as in sunrise, but it could also be summer solstice or winter solstice. And hours vary by season so the way to establish the hour is by the noon sun. So the HOUR or the HORUS is noon of which at night you would have Orion the HOUR glass to the south. This uses Orion to the south on meridian instead of watching the pole stars to the north. So they say the waist of the hour-glass is the waistband of the hunter (Nimrod), yet it is easier to see the hour-glass or Egyptian sand funnel than it is to see the skin-garment of a man with no arms or head or legs. Or is it legs spred and arms out-stretched? Astrology can be like Catholics who see the face of Mary in the paint, or Jesus in spilt wine, or Noah in the wood grain.
