15 - Pabilsag

When Neema's roommate said she had just the thing to help level up her archery game, she expected some witchy artifact shit, same as always. She didn't expect it to work, or for "sharing your body with a god" to be so literal. Or to like it so much.

Typical of "Calendar texts" is the association of zodiacal signs with a tree, a stone, an herb, and various other items...The above-described Uruk texts assign to each of the calendar dates an ointment whose ingredients are related to the zodiacal sign by a pun, either linguistic or purely orthographic, on the name of the sign. Thus, the text prescribes as ointment the following ingredients: For the first month, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Aries 'Ram,' the ingredients are blood, tallow, and wool from a sheep; for month II, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Taurus 'Bull,' here designated by one of its conspicuous constellations, the Pleiades, they are blood, fat, or hair of a bull; for month III, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Gemini, here, as in the similarly late text cited on p 80, designated by the name of the constellation Orion, they are to contain the head, blood, and feather of a rooster; for month IV, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Cancer 'Crab,' the blood and fat of a crab; for month V, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Leo 'Lion,' blood, tallow, or hair from a lion; for month VI, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Virgo 'Furrow,' flour made of šigušu-barley, the head and feather of a raven; for month VII, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Libra 'Scales'..., for month VIII, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Scorpius 'Scorpion'...; for month IX, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Sagittarius, here designated by the name of the God Pabilsag, the head, feather, and blood of the anzû-bird; for month X, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Capricorn, blood, fat, and hair of a goat; for month XI, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Aquarius, the head, feather, and blood of an eagle; for month XII, corresponding to the zodiacal sign Pisces, here designated by 'Field,' the name for the Square of Pegasus, the head and blood (variant: heart) of a dove, the head and blood of a swallow.
