DARK MATTER/MOTHER FLOWS DARK WATERS HER BLOOD

NA-DA-BA  DA=FLOW   Exploring the origin of the Armenian word KI, meaning juniper representing the heavenly earth mother for five millennium. The Union of Heaven and Earth, AN  and KI, as symbol  the ANKH. CIRCLE&CROSS, HEAVEN&EARTH, FLOWING&FIXING, MASCULINE&FEMINIE, UNITED AS ONE. I start with the word, CUNT, the word that is considered to be the most vile obscene and vulgar 'swear word' in the English Language, the word 'cunt' in the vernacular is va-gina.  the word for WOMB is AR-CUNT in the Armenian language. I am sure, most folk will be surprised to know that the word 'cunt' was originally a word used knowingly, to show total respect and reverence for a powerful, spiritually enlightened woman, for it also represented the idea of the "passage' that gave birth to all life on earth, a universal cunt our birth mother.  As to why the word is perceived as vile today, I might write about in the future. The word 'cunt' derives from 'Kunda' or 'Cunti', the Oriental, near eastern, Great  Mother Universal Goddess. SHE was the Great 'YONI' (Womb) of the universe, where it was suggested, all LIFE comes from and where all life returns for renewal and resurrection.  From this root word come word like country, Kind and KIN. In Armenian, a PIE language, 'KINE' means flowing from WOMAN, KINIESIS from Ancient Greek κίνησις ‎(kínēsis, “motion, movement”).At root κινέω ‎(kinéō, “I move”) +‎ -σις ‎(-sis). From κινέω ‎(kinéō, “I move”) +‎ -σις ‎(-sis). CUNT AND KINI AND YONI/ AND JUNI AND UNI ARE ONE IN MEANING  Derivative of the Oriental Great Goddess as Cunti, or Kunda, the Yoni of the Uni-verse. 1 From the same root came county, kin, and kind (Old English cyn, Gothic kuni). Related forms were Latin cunnus, Middle English cunte, Old Norse and Frisian kunta, Basque cuna. Other cognates are "cunabula," a cradle, or earliest abode; "Cunina," a Roman Goddess who protected children in the cradle; "cunctipotent," all-powerful (i.e., having cunt-magic); "cunicle," a hole or passage; "cuniculate," penetrated by a passage; "cundy," a coverted culvert; also cunning, kenning, and ken: knowledge, learning, insight, remembrance, wisdom. Cunt is "not slang, dialect or any marginal form, but a true language word, and of the oldest stock." 2 "Kin" meant not only matrilineal blood relations, but also a cleft or crevice, the Goddess's genital opening. A Saharan tribe called Kuntahs traced their descent from this holy place.3 Indian "kundas" were their mothers' natural children, begotten out of wedlock as gifts of the Goddess Kunda.4 Of old the name applied to girls, as in China where girls were once considered children of their mothers only, having no natural connection with fathers. 5 In ancient writings, the word for "cunt" was synonymous with "woman," though not in the insulting modern sense. An Egyptologist was shocked to find the maxims of Ptah-Hotep "used for 'woman' a term that was more than blunt," though its indelicacy was not in the eye of the ancient beholder, only in that of the modern scholar.6 Medieval clergymen similarly perceived obscenity in female-genital shrines of the pagans: holy caves, wells, groves. Any such place was called cunnus diaboli, "devilish cunt." Witches who worshipped there sometimes assumed the name of the place, like the male witch Johannes Cuntius mentioned by Thomas MoreJ "Under painful circumstances" this witch died at the hands of witch hunters, but it was said he was resurrected, and came back to earth as a lecherous incubus.8 Sacred places identified with the world-cunt sometimes embarrassed Victorian scholars who failed to understand their earlier meaning. A.H. Clough became a laughing-stock among Gaelic-speaking students when he published a poem called Toper-na-Fuosich, literally "bearded well," a Gaelic place-name for a cunt-shrine. The synonym "twat" was ignorantly used by another Victorian poet, Robert Browning, in the closing lines of his Pippa Passes: Then, owls and bats, Cowls and twats, Monks and nuns, in a cloister's moods, Adjourn to the oak-stump pantry! Editors of the Oxford English Dictionary hesitantly asked Browning where he learned the word. He said it came from a bawdy broadside poem of 1659: "They talked of his having a Cardinal's Hat; They'd send him as soon an Old Nun's Twat." Browning thought the word meant a wimple, or other headgear corresponding-to "hat."9 Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁- ‎(“to produce”) comes From Indo-European, through Latin genus ‎(“kin, kind, sort, ancestry, birth”), Ancient Greek γένος ‎(génos, “kin, kind, race”). From Middle Dutch kinne, from Old Dutch kinni, from Proto-Germanic *kinnuz, from Proto-Indo-European *ǵénu-, *ǵénus. Compare Low German and German Kinn, Danish kind, Icelandic kinn.  English chin, Middle English kin, kyn, ken, kun, from Old English cynn ‎(“kind, sort, rank, quality, family, generation, offspring, pedigree, kin, race, people, gender, sex, propriety, etiquette”), from Proto-Germanic *kunją ‎(“race, generation, descent”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵenh₁- ‎(“to produce”). Cognate with Scots kin‎(“relatives, kinfolk”), North Frisian kinn, kenn ‎(“gender, race, family, kinship”), Dutch kunne ‎(“gender, sex”), Middle Low German kunne ‎(“gender, sex, race, family, lineage”), German Künne, Kunne ‎(“kin, kind, race”), Danish køn ‎(“gender, sex”), Swedish kön ‎(“gender, sex”), Icelandic kyn ‎(“gender”), and through Indo-European, with Latin genus ‎(“kind, sort, ancestry, birth”), Ancient Greek γένος ‎(génos, “kind, race”),  Having made my point, it is worth mentioning that the word ‘kingship’  is identical to kinship - and that kin originally mean ‘blood-relative’ in the female line. It has been difficult to determine, for names that begin with gin-, jen-, or jun-, which family they ultimately originated with.The most common nickname for Juniper are Junie, Jenny, June or Joon, Juni, Juno. The Juniper tree's name is derived from the Latin word juniperus. In Latin, juniperus is combination of the word junio, which means young, and parere, to produce, hence youth producing, or evergreen. Ginepro (Italian for Juniper), Ginevra (Italian variant form of Juniper), and Ginny are other names that also refer to the Juniper tree. Ianus derived ianua ("door"), and hence the English word "janitor" (Latin, ianitor). The Juniper is a a coniferous plant in the genus Juniperus, of the Cypress family Cupressaceae. GENESIS KINESIS From κινέω ‎(kinéō, “I move”) +‎ -σις ‎(-sis) Janua Coeli "Gate of Heaven," title of the sanctuary screen in Christian churches, derived from the yonic "gate" of] uno (Uni, or yom) veiled by the hymen in the Goddess's own temples. As a personification of the Gate, Juno had two faces looking in both directions-the outward passage of the Gate at birth, the reverse passage at death. At her festival in early January she was addressed as Antevorta and Postvorta, the Goddess Who Looks Forward and Backward, for January was the "gate" of the year, when the god of the Aeon died and was reborn from Mother Time.1 As Roman religion became more patriarchal, Juno's gate-keeping persona became an androgynous Janua-Janus, later was wholly masculinized as the two-faced god Janus to whom all gateways were sacr.ed. He was another form of the Petra, Pater, or Peter, keeper of the keys to the Goddess's "Pearly Gate." The Christian version of the janua coeli depicted heaven on one side, hell on the other. The "wrong" or "death" side of the Gate became known as janua diaboli, "the gate by which the Devil enters." Since the whole image was that of a yoni to begin with, it was almost inevitable that Christian fathers used janua diaboli as a common synonym for "woman." 2  Perhaps more than any other natural objects, mountains most often represented the Great Mother. In every land the mountains were identified with breasts, belly, or mons veneris of the Earth, as well as the paradise where gods live. Sumero-Babylonian texts spoke of the Mother-mountain where the sun god was daily born and nightly swallowed up. This was Mashu, "Twin Peaks," as high as the walls of heaven, dwelling in the western garden of paradise by the shores of Ocean. 10 The twin peaks were breasts nourishing heaven, and the mountain had another set of "paps" reaching downward to nourish the underworld, as if it were the two-faced Goddess of life and death. The way into the land of death was into the Mother-mountain's body, via the Road of the Chariot, or Road of No Return. 11 The Yoni and Womb, are words that represent the process of birth, motherhood, the birth, motherhood of all life, nature, fertility, creation, destruction or metaphorically, the the YONI, the ONE that gives birth to the Earth to life and all its bounty.  When equated with the Earth or the natural world, such 'goddesses' are sometimes referred to as Mother Earth or as the Earth Mother. Carl Gustav Jung suggested that the archetypal mother was a part of the collective unconscious of all humans and various Jungian students, have argued that such mother imagery underpins many early mythologies, and precedes the image of the paternal "father".  In the distant past Many different goddesses have represented motherhood in one way or another, and some like our MALE GOD, have been associated with the birth of humanity as a whole, along with the universe and everything in it.  On the question of her powers regarding fertility of the earth. James Frazer (author of The Golden Bough) and others (such as Jane Ellen Harrison, Robert Graves and Marija Gimbutas) have advanced the idea that goddess worship in ancient Europe and the Aegean descended from Pre-Indo-European neolithic matriarchies. The idea that the fertile earth and wisdom is female and nurtures all life, especially humans,,both body soul and spirit was not limited to the Greco-Roman world. PIE and probably all these words and traditions originated or were greatly influenced by earlier cultures of the Armenian plateau, where the twin peaks of Masis ( Mothers Bosom in Armenian) stand and where we are told rested NOAH'S ARK and the Armenian HAYG NAHABED on or about 2500 B.C.  In the ancient Middle East. where the Sumerians had cracked language, where they recorded all we call stories or mythology, we learn that Ki is the heavenly earth, a goddess. In Akkadian orthography she has the syllabic values gi,ge,qi,qe used till now for earth and toponyms.. Some scholars identify Ki with Ninhursag (lady of the mountains), the earth and fertility mother goddess, who had the surnames Nintu (lady of birth), Mamma, and Aruru. KIDAR/CEDAR/JUNIPER, The famous Phoenician Cedars of Lebanon, or Junipers are also found in Armenia, Cyprus and Crete, a close species. The TREE was Sacred to  Artemis (there was a sanctuary of Artemis Kedreatis, Lady of the Cedar, near Orkhomenos where the cult image was set in the tree. THE KI, AN ORIGINAL PIE WORD IN ARMENIAN stands for the JUNIperus drupacea. They are the tallest species of juniper, forming a conical tree 10–25 m tall, exceptionally it can go up to 40 m, wi a trunk up to 1–2 m thick. It has needle-like leaves in whorls of three; the leaves are green, 5–25 mm long and 2–3 mm broad, with a double white stomatal band (split by a green midrib) on the inner surface. It is usually a dioecious plant (separate male and female). The seed cones are the largest of any juniper, berry-like but hard and dry, green ripening in about 25 months to dark purple-brown with a pale blue waxy coating; they are ovoid to spherical, 20–27 mm long and 20–25 mm diameter, and have six or nine fused scales in 3 whorls, each scale with a slightly raised apex. The three apical scales each bear a single seed, but with the three seeds fused together into a single nut-like shell. The male cones are produced in clusters (unlike any other juniper) of 5-20 cones together, yellow, 3–4 mm long, and fall soon after shedding their pollen in early spring. Because of its distinct cones with the seeds fused three together and the clustered male cones, it has sometimes been treated in a distinct genus of its own as Arceuthos drupacea (Labill.) Antoine & Kotschy, but genetic studies have shown it is closely related to Juniperus macrocarpa and Juniperus oxycedrus.

Exploring the wider implications of the juniper over the centuries.

An interesting aspect of the word ‘kingship’ is that it was identical with kinship - and kin means ‘blood-relative’.
It has been difficult to determine, for names that begin with gin-, jen-, or jun-, which family they ultimately originated with.The most common nickname for Juniper are Junie, Jenny, June or Joon, Juni, Juno.
The Juniper tree's name is derived from the Latin word juniperus. In Latin, juniperus is combination of the word junio, which means young, and parere, to produce, hence youth producing, or evergreen. Ginepro (Italian for Juniper), Ginevra (Italian variant form of Juniper), and Ginny are other names that also refer to the Juniper tree.

Ianus derived ianua ("door"), and hence the English word "janitor" (Latin, ianitor).

The Juniper is a a coniferous plant in the genus Juniperus, of the Cypress family Cupressaceae. 

I hope to show that the Juniper tree, like Maya and prakrti of the Rigveda was the galvanizing symbolic primeval life force, represented on earth as a tree, A tree of knowledge of life and death. That the Ki tree, as a She tree, was the living proof on earth of the heavenly spirit  of mother earth in the paradise of the ancient highlands of Masis/Ararat of Armenia. The location of paradise and the origin of a PIE language and culture that dates back to 2500 B.C.
Ginepro (Italian for Juniper), Ginevra (Italian variant form of Juniper), and Ginny are other names that also refer to the Juniper tree, the only difference in the spelling is the substitute of the J for the G. 

It has been difficult to determine, for names that begin with gin-, jen-, or jun-, which family they ultimately originated with.

Queen of Heaven was a title given to a number of ancient sky goddesses in the ancient Mediterranean and Near East, in particular Anat, Isis, Inanna, Astarte, Hera and Asherah. Elsewhere, Nordic Frigg also bore this title. In Roman times Juno bore this title. 

Modern scholars have conjectured that it derives from the Indo-European root meaning transitional movement (cf. Sanskrit "yana-" or Avestan "yah-", likewise with Latin "i-" and Greek "ei-".). Iānus would then be a verb, an action name expressing the idea of going, passing.

The interpretation of Janus as the god of beginnings and transitions is based on an etymology indicated by Cicero, Ovid and Macrobius, explaining the name in Latin, deriving from the verb ire ("to go"). Flow.

In ancient Roman religion and myth, Janus (/ˈdʒeɪnəs/; Latin: Ianus, pronounced [ˈjaː.nus]) is the god of beginnings, gates, transitions, time, doorways, passages, and endings. He is usually depicted as having two faces, since he looks to the future and to the past. It is conventionally thought that the month of January is named for Janus (Ianuarius), but according to ancient Roman farmers' almanacs Juno was the tutelary deity of the month. 
Terminus for me is one of the most famous Grimm Fairy Tales of "The Juniper Tree." In the story a mother is buried under a Juniper tree, magically becomes part of the tree and a bird that was hatched in the tree, and avenges the death of her son when the bird drops a millstone and kills her son's stepmother.
Uni was the supreme goddess of the Etruscan pantheon. Uni was identified by the Etruscans as their equivalent of Juno in Roman mythology and Hera in Greek mythology. In the Etruscan tradition, it is Uni who grants access to immortality to the demigod Hercle (Greek Heracles, LatinHercules) by offering her breast milk to him.

Juniperus: The Latin common name for the cedar, from junio, not  necesseraly meaning young for juno, and pare, to produce, hence youth producing, or evergreen as the root. 

REFERENCES OF JUNO IN MYTH
The ancient poetry of Ugarit (Modern Syria), contains references to the Phoenician Goddess, Astarte, remarkable for her fertility, her beauty, her war, and her love. Her cult spawned the construction of temples and the development of cults in Ancient Levant that included rituals of purification. For this purpose, the highly aromatic smoke from junipers was used.

Plutarch, a first century A.D. Greek biographer, historian, and essayist, recorded the Osiris myth in Part V of the Moralia, the story of this Egyptian God-King of the Underworld and the Afterlife. Seth, his envious brother, ordered the construction of a magnificent chest made of cedar (juniper), adorned with ivory and ebony, its interior painted with fantastic birds and animals and celestial images; it later served as Osiris’s sarcophagus, until he was resurrected.

Another reference to a juniper tree is found in the Hebrew scripture, I Kings19: 4. Fleeing from the furious Queen Jezebel, the prophet Elijah tore into the wilderness outside of Beersheba, and dispirited, fell asleep under a juniper tree. He was sick of being a prophet; it was too costly. However an angel of the Lord roused him, fed him a cake baked on hot stones and a jar of water, then command him to go to Horeb, the mount of God. There, another revelation awaited him.

Still another story of a juniper tree comes to mind, this time from one of the apocryphal books of the New Testament, the Syriac Infancy Gospel of Jesus written in the sixth century, A.D. The second part recounts miracles accompanying the infant Jesus, his parents, Mary and Joseph, as they fled from Herod’s soldiers, ordered to kill all male infants under the age of two years. A juniper tree shielded them.

Again, closer to our time, the Grimms Brothers included a fairy tale, “The Juniper Tree,” number 47, in their 1812 collected works, Tales of Children and the Home — a grim story of an evil stepmother who decapitates the head of her stepson leaning into a chest for an apple, who blames Marlinchen, her daughter, for the deed, then folds his remains into “a great dish of black pudding” she later serves her husband. The grieving daughter plants her stepbrother’s bones beneath the juniper tree, outside their home, where, after a series of marvels, he comes back to life and has a great millstone crush his stepmother to death. Then he rejoined his father, and Marlinchen for a joyous supper.

in ancient mythology, Juniper was a symbol of the Canaanites' fertility goddess Ashera . 

In the Bible's Old Testament, a juniper with an angelic presence sheltered the prophet Elijah from Queen Jezebel's pursuit. Similarly a later apocryphal biblical tale tells of how the infant Jesus and his parents were hidden from King Herod's soldiers by a juniper during their flight into Egypt. 

In China, cedars are called the “trees of faithful lovers” – a theme seen in many cultures – because of a legend about a king who sent a good man to prison in order to court his beautiful wife. The imprisoned man died of grief and his wife killed herself. Although their bodies were buried far apart from each other at the king’s command, cedar trees grew from each grave, attained vast heights and lovingly interlaced their branches and roots 

(Maheshwari and Chhaya Biswas 1970). 
CEDAR GENUS, CYPRESS FAMILY
In Greek mythology, besides Cyparissus, the cypress is also associated with Artemis and Hecate, a goddess of magic, crossroads and the underworld.

Cypresses are mentioned extensively in the Shahnameh, the great Iranian epic poem by Ferdowsi.
In July 2012, a forest fire for five days devastated 20,000 hectares of forest in the Valencian village of Andilla. However, amid the charred landscape, a group of 946 cypress trees about 22 years old was virtually unharmed, and only 12 cypress were burned. Andilla cypresses were planted by the CypFire European project studying various aspects of the cypresses, including fire resistance. The oldest living Cypress is the Sarv-e-Abarkooh in Iran's Yazd Province. Its age is estimated to be approximately 4,000 years.

Long after the assimilation of the Etruscans, Seneca the Younger said that the difference between the Romans and the Etruscans was that. 

Whereas we believe lightning to be released as a result of the collision of clouds, they believe that the clouds collide so as to release lightning: for as they attribute all to deity, they are led to believe not that things have a meaning insofar as they occur, but rather that they occur because they must have a meaning.

The Liver of Piacenza, with a diagram and Etruscan inscriptions.

The Liver of Piacenza is an Etruscan artifact found in a field on September 26, 1877, near Gossolengo, in the province of Piacenza. Seers would drew conclusions from the direction in which lightning was seen. Lightning in the east was auspicious, lightning in the west inauspicious (Pliny). Stevens (2009) surmises that Tin, the main god of lightning, had his dwelling due north, as lightning in the north-east was most lucky, lightning in the north-west most unlucky, while lightning in the southern half of the compass was not as strong an omen (Servius).

The Anunnaki (also transcribed as: Anunaki, Anunna, Anunnaku, Ananaki and other variations) are a group of deities in ancient Mesopotamian cultures (i.e., Sumerian, Akkadian, Assyrian, and Babylonian). The name Anuna-kine variously written "^da-nuna", "^da-nuna-ke₄-ne",  meaning "princely offspring" or "offspring of Anu". According to The Oxford Companion to World Mythology, the "Anunnakine" are  Sumerian deities of the old primordial line; they are chthonic deities of fertility, associated eventually with the underworld, where they became judges. They take their name from the old sky god An     Anu)." I would like to suggest that we add the old earth goddess Ki. According to later Assyrian and Babylonian myth, the Anunnaki were the children of Anu and Ki, brother and sister gods, themselves the children of Anshar and Kishar (Skypivot and Earthpivot, the Celestial and terestial poles),
Anunnaki means “those of royal blood” and they are NOT extraterrestrials as anyone can see by studying the word Anunnaki:

The Anunnaki are the children of Heaven/Anu/Uranus and Earth/Ki/Gaia and they are superterestrials. They are the product of the alchemical divine marriage and of the crossing of polarities and manifestations of cosmic forces and the Hindu tradition, as well Pagan traditions, describe their nature in depth. They are GODS and the Architects of our worlds.  When they incarnate incarnate on Earth they are known as AnunnaKI.

KI, in Anun-NaKi.

By her consort Anu, Ki gave birth to the Anunnaki, the most prominent of these deities being Enlil, god of the air. According to legends, heaven and earth were once inseparable until Enlil was born; Enlil cleaved heaven and earth in two. Anu carried away heaven. Ki, in company with Enlil, took the earth.

Some authorities question whether Ki was regarded as a deity since there is no evidence of a cult and the name appears only in a limited number of Sumerian creation texts. Samuel Noah Kramer identifies Ki with the Sumerian mother goddess Ninhursag and claims that they were originally the same figure.

Species : Juniperus oxycedrus oxi- from Greek means pointed.

Description : A small tree with needle like leaves which grows to a height of 10 to 15 metres. The juniper's berries ripen to an orange-red, and the male cones are yellow. The tree is prized for its wood. 

PINE MYTH 

An ancient Greek legend tells of the forests and glades of Greece that were home to nymphs and dryiads and of many minor male gods including Pan. Among the nymphs was Pitys, whose duty was to tend pine trees. She had a lover, Boreas, god of the north wind. Boreas was a towering, burly fellow, quite different from the flute playing Pan. Pitys flirted with both Pan and Boreas and one day, Boreas asked Pitys what was going on between her and Pan. Her reply was not to Boreas’ liking and during the quarrel that followed, Boreas grabbed Pitys and tossed her against a rocky ledge. Instantly she was turned into a pine tree. The resin droplets seen on the wounded limbs of a pine tree are said to be teardrops shed by Pitys when she thinks of that fateful day (Mirov and Hasbrouck 1976).

CEDAR GATE, WOMB, DOOR KEEPER OF WOMB

There is a conceptual link between Haldi (Hayk) and Mher. The connection is the traditional Armenian designation for the blind rock portal at Van, which the Armenians called ‘Door of Haldi’ during the period of the Van Kingdom. The portal at Van, the door of Haldi, was a Cedar tree, designated as the 'Birth Mother Earth Tree', the Armenian Juniper, the Ki. The  Cedar/Kidar translates to 'Ki- Tree, named Mair/Mother in Armenian.  

A Cedar-goddess is alluded to in the Song of Songs. Of Her it is said, "If she is a Gate, we will enclose her with boards of cedar" [Song 8:9], from whence the midrash presumes Paradise is enclosed in cedar. The cedar doors or a gate symbolized the vagina or entryway to the Earth-mother's womb, by extension any woman's womb, hence the phrases "the Gate of my mother's womb" [Job 2:10]; the Gate that seals the womb of the Sea [38:8]; or even the Gate of heaven [Psalm 78:23] — this last elaborating a very archaic belief that death is not permanent, because the spirits of the dead do not fully expire, they re-enter the womb of the Divine Mother, returning to the Source. Thus the poetic, from womb to tomb. Graves The White Goddess. This gate was commonly associated with cedars.  Dumuzi's sister Geshtinanna was scribe to the Hecate-like goddess Ereskigal; no more than it is coincidental that Geshtinanna was guardian of the gate of paradise called "the land of cedars" in the distant East, where the Sun also dwelt at night. .

Sumerian Lil, was apropos of a kedeshah or the Sacred Harlot;  the River of Kedesha ran through the largest  most famous of Cedar forests in ancient Lebanon. Delilah the doomed Samson do resemble Anath & the doomed Baal, who was slain by the Death-god Mot & taken away to the land of death until Anath resurrected him. That Samson bears the name of a Sun-god is frequently noted. The episode in which Samson runs off with the bronze Gate of Geza symbolizes his conquest of the Sacred Harlot, though Samson's metal gate is called shaar, which is sumerian for axis, PIVOT/HINGE; The cedar flaps of the writing tablet turned on a bronze pin, as the Gaza gates turned on bronze pillars, & the Cedar Gate is Delilah or Anath, & the Bronze Pillar is Samson or Gilgamesh or Baal. Or, among kabbalists, the active Divine Shekhinah & the restful Tiphereth.

Zephaniah alludes to this type of mythology of the cedar gate as vagina of the Great Mother when referring to the city of Ninevah in the hypostatic form of a great female. The name Ninevah is merely a rendering out of the Hebrew for Ninuah, Great Goddess of Assyria; Va in Armenian suggests below, thus the capitol city bore Her name Ninevah  exactly. When speaking of all the cruel acts God will impose on Her, including the laying bare of her cedars, the full context clearly indicates that God sexually rapes His enemy & leaves Her bereft & reviled by all who pass by & see Her in the extremes of Her disaster [Zeph 2:14-15]. And from Her unruly sex life, She that dwelleth in Lebanon is shamed, hiding among cedars screaming as She gives birth to illicit children [Jr 22:23]. For Yahweh, the breaking of cedars is the defeat of rivals of all sorts — nations, or central feminine rival divinity. Zechariah similarly personifies Lebanon as a wailing-woman (a role signal to the Goddess Anath who wailed over the death of Baal) whose cedar is devoured in fire — the other wailing-women included personified cypress trees that wailed for the destruction of this hypostatic goddess-like Lebanon cedar [Zech 11:2-3]. That Zechariah assumes this ruin of Lebanon is done through fire is a typical Yahwist cursing method of reversing the sacred things of rival deities to become their destruction; the Cedar-mother's brother-consort being a Fire-god, Storm-god, or the Sun, she must be destroyed by the very power She thought could protect her.

Other biblical lore asserts that Joshua anointed a book of prophesies with cedar oil; the throne of Nimrod was carved of a great cedar, later becoming the throne of Solomon; a cedar grew from Jacob's grave; & Noah's Ark was made of cedar. Jehoiachin believed that to "nest among cedars" would protect him against harsh judgement, perhaps again relating the Cedar to the Babylonian Sun-god Shamash who decided the punishment of the dead, & his bride Ah who spoke in defense of the soul. Psalm 92:12 says that because the Cedars of Lebanon were the most upright of trees, they symbolize all of Israel as the most upright of nations. This is why Ezekiel 17:22-23 speaks of God moving the Israelite's into the promised land as though He had plucked cedars from the mountains to transplant them elsewhere.

Expanding on Psalm 104:16 which notes that God personally planted the first Cedars of Lebanon, & the "Cedar Gate" mythology cited above, midrash asserts God brought forth the Cedars on the third day of Creation. Those first cedars still stand, forming a living barrier between our world & that of Paradise; or, the walls of Paradise are made of glass & shingled with cedar planks; or the cedars God made on the third day were in a troubled time transplanted in Paradise, where they grew to such extravagant height their former enormity was by comparison the size of the legs of locusts. Philo of Alexandria said the Earth had long been pregnant with these cedars, & God caused them to be brought forth in their full glory, as from a mother in labor. This is reminiscent of Gaea bringing forth giants in their full maturity.

Our universal Birth Mothers/Mher’s Door (‘Mheri Dur’ in Armenian) it is said will remain entombed in Raven’s Rock, only to come out when her sense of justice, reigns over the earth.

The Armenians believe that Nar was the seed of spirit,  LIGHT the agent that caused the light, in the flowing Daek Waters, imaculate conception, result a pregnant woman, the mother, from the Dark Waters of whose womb, all creation has sprung and continues to do so. To be born in Armenian is “to come into the light world” (Լույս աշխարհ գալ (luis ashgharh gal)), which poetically suggests an origin to the grace shown. So we come to the world full of light from the mother’s dark womb (dark waters of her womb).
