Astrological Gallows

Here in a simple table form are the attributions I have established for the gallows family of glyphs. 

As I understand it there is a system of eight (4 + 4) - the plain gallows and their benched forms. 

The plain gallows mark the solstices and equinoxes.

The benched gallows mark the kerubic signs, the signs of the elements, and so are elemental in nature. 

Readers can find how I arrive at these attributions in previous posts on this platform. 

In many respects it is a simple solar (Helios) symbolism and entirely consistent with traditional (premodern) understandings of the solar year and astrological cycles.

It is straightforward astrological symbolism, and not especially esoteric. The only odd thing about it is that the symbolism has been adapted to a system of glyphs. 

For my part, I am confident these attributions are correct, although they remain to be tested and confirmed and their utility remains to be demonstrated. 

In any case, my proposal is that the text is cosmological, or astrological, and concerns the divisions of the ecliptic. 

The system of gallows glyphs - central to the text - provides our basic orientation.
