(Part 9on of 11)

1. Menat or Mena means wet-nurse, to arrive and rest, the end, repose, death, the dead. (BB 273/285, 404/416), (NG1 302/320)

2. Menat is the Great Mother of the Waters portrayed as the many-teated cow, sow or human goddess, This represents nourishment of liquid essence in many forms. (NG2 173/18, 180/188, 217/225), (AE1 306/316)

3. Menat was also the Lion because Menat was the Nile inundation that reached Egypt when the sun was in Leo. At the same time, half-way round on the other side of the circle, the moon was full in Aquarius.

4. As a result, the solar-lunar points of beginning in the Egyptian sacred year were in Leo the Lion and in Aquarius the waterer. (NG2 217/225)

5. Menat was goddess of the seven stars in the stellar mythos, then she became goddess of the moon in the lunar mythos. Menat, the mother, the sow, was the full moon. The waning moon was her dark child Sut, the pig. The waxing moon was her light child Horus, her horned and re-begetting bull, the boar. (NG2 313/321, 416/424)

6. Met, Ment and Menat mean “ten.” Ten was represented by a collar, bracelet, necklace or circle with ten points or branches that go round something else. These symbols imply reckoning by ten water periods. (BB 84/96, 396/408)

7. The words “moon” and “month” are derived from “men,” “Men”signifies to make the circuit, go round, grow round. As a gestator of souls of life, the moon grows round (becomes full) and is named Mena.

8. ”Men” also means the measure and memorial. Men is the root for al-manac in relation to the moon and mensis. (NG2 349/357)
9. Men is a fixed stone memorial or monument. Men is also a name of heaven. (BB 400/412, 404/416)

10. Mena means to suckle. (BB 202/214)
11. Men-t means liquid measure.
12. Menat or Ment was a measure of ten feet, the oldest unit of Egyptian land measure.

13. Menât is the measurer by the moon. An earlier form is Menkat (Men-Khat), the creator in space, as potteress whose vase is the womb, the creative space. Menat measures the period of gestation to be ten moons* and also measures the month as three weeks of ten days each. (NG2 350/358)

What is not a coincidence in the modern sense, is the name “Meni” found on Line 10, Column 3 of the Royal Canon of Turin King List. “Meni” is said to be the first human king, yet it appears to me that Meni is the summation of 9 spirits, thus Meni is tenth, which is the same as Ra, the holy spirit, the totality. This is the same as Menat and Mena as described in this message. Therefore, the first king Meni is the Holy Spirit, who is One that became Meni and is now One again.

14. Found on one of the monuments in Egypt is an image of a goddess holding two vases where normally her breasts would be. This is Mena Menka, Menat the wet-nurse of the waters of life. (BB 368/377)

15. Menat is the soul of life in spirit (holy spirit Ra) represented by birds such as swallow, dove, pigeon or hawk. (NG1 794/258), (AE2 881-2/345-6)

16. During the seventh month, the sun was in Aquarius and the tail of the Great Bear pointed northward. This is when there was a re-birth of water from the abyss that issued from the mouth of Piscis Australis, the Southern Fish. Menat represented this Southern Fish as the abyss. This was repeated as Menat, the abyss in zodiac sign of Aquarius. The Nile was replenished during Aquarius. This imagery shows the annual source of water comes from the Southern Fish which moves up to Aquarius who expresses her waters as the full moon when the sun is in Leo, the first month. Thus the birth and re-birth of water took six months to bring the water from Egypt of the abyss to its fulfilment in the inundation of Egypt on Earth. (AE1 299-300/309-10), (Churchward: Origin 280/510)

17. Menat is a lunar representation of the Parent as Great Mother. (NG2 216/224)

Other Forms Of The Name: Mena, Men-a, Mena-Tef, Men-t, Menati, Menuthis, Menkat, Men-Khat, Makha, Makht, Menoth, Month, Moon,Mini, Min, Mona, Mane... (NG2 342/350, 349/357), (BB 35/17, 196-7/209, 202/214)

*The number nine of Mâ and Ptah is that of dry measures and reckoning the period of gestation by nine solar months. Nine solar months and ten lunar months is the same period of time in two forms, two truths. (NG1 182/200)

The Stars Of The Water

Egyptians had a huge southern constellation dedicated to Menat the wet-nurse, called “the Stars of the Water” The “Southern Fish” and “Ketos” are both depicted in this water of the south or the abyss. Aratos, speaking of the stars in the neighborhood of these two great fishes, said they are all called ‘the water.’ Thus it is likely most, if not all of the southern constellations were in the constellation of Menat. This makes sense in light of the waters first being divided into two halves and also the Argo Navis Constellation sails on these waters. (AE1 279/289)
