Part 39

GER SAP, LEI TAC, MUC CRA, AMA CED

Upon entering the Lascaux cave one saw a composite
animal with the bearded head of a man, a pair of lances
growing out of his front, with the forelegs and mottled
hide of a feline, the hind legs and hind body of a bison,
and the belly of a pregnant mare:

www.seshat.ch/home/menhir6f.JPG

This animal may have conveyed a message to an
aspiring ruler: Make a wise use of your weapons
(which is why the lances grow as horns out of the
front of the man's head), be patient, quick and
decided as a feline, strong as a bull, and caring
as a mother ...

CER means stag, GER may be a lateral association
for lance; SAP means everywhere in three dimensions
(here, south and north of me, east and west of me,
under and above me), experienced, wise. LEI is an
attacking lion, TAC may be a word for the way a lion
behaves (attack, inverse cat). MUC is a bull, a bison,
CRA means strong. AMA may be the word for mother,
CED is the word for to care. Together we obtain
a Magdalenian version of that formula for an aspiring
ruler:

GER SAP, LEI TAC, MUC CRA, AMA CED
