A golden sheep to fleece

Athamas the Minyan, a founder of Halos in Thessaly[2] but also king of the city of Orchomenus in Boeotia (a region of southeastern Greece), took as his first wife the cloud goddess Nephele. They had two children, the boy Phrixus (whose name means "curly"—as in ram's fleece) and the girl Helle. Later Athamas became enamored of and married Ino, the daughter of Cadmus. When Nephele left in anger, drought came upon the land. Athamas the Minyan a name we have seen before, the grand son of the same name and title cloud goddess Nephele also king of the city of Orchomenus in Boeotia (a region of southeastern Greece)Phrixus means with curle and was one of the sons of the same kingly couple. the writer above indicates that it might be routed in the curle of rams hair. Ely is the dasighter though the above author refers to the name by frangic female lethi) reference) the king after the rightful birth of those of his common anscestry married ino the daughter of the wise and powerful cadmus, the authorite of bretholia. was ino the name of the goddess of clouds in her anscestral line, obviously. ino means one. naphile was trasported to her own kingdom based on draught, she left angerly because people caused a draught. her powers help to quench the earth but later she gave up on the tahith of her time( corript one) . Kalef wanted the kingdom and used tactics like todays to dry the land up. to interpret up the goddess caused the land to thrive without her they suffered. they ruan dry of ideas as she still blessing them had no fill of her and her husbands ideas, being the daughter of cadmus the wise, a philospher before philosphy, a crefet ( thinkre) would have filled her with ideas that would have inspired her husbands people. ibo neabs that she also ascended to teh hieght of right of not just a rain maker but a one with God(s). Ino was jealous of her stepchildren and plotted their deaths: in some versions, she persuaded Athamas that sacrificing Phrixus was the only way to end the drought. Nephele, or her spirit, appeared to the children with a winged ram whose fleece was of gold.[3] The ram had been sired by Poseidon in his primitive ram-form upon Theophane, a nymph[4] and the granddaughter of Helios, the sun-god. According to Hyginus,[5] Poseidon carried Theophane to an island where he made her into an ewe, so that he could have his way with her among the flocks. There Theophane's other suitors could not distinguish the ram-god and his consort.[6] ino was said to be jealous as hera was of hercules and wanted to bless them this story is like abrahams and teh sacrifice was on a mountain, the old right of kefe ( kephet) as you sacrifice in rtrual, bit a fake killing, youth of a child, often male, but women too, to God to have them become adults, one needs a ram or sheep to sacrife to end the ritual. this way the drought would end as they would be free adults from them and allowed to rule their cities. so the mother in the spirit even as a spirit appeared before the children and gave them a ram with wings to fly away , to take flight as adults, the mom supplied the ram, in abraham God did, but being ino , one with God(s) God as the spirit of nephelle gave the ram for sacrife, proving she had walked with god or reached unity of oneness, this comes before walking where one is fully one with the essence. the fleece or skin and hair of the sacrificial ram. the gold represents the success the and riches the sacrifice would bring. God as Poseidon sired in his primitive ram-form upon Theophane the ram Thus in god for god gave form to the sacrificial ram as God did with abraham. Thew anymthethan and blessed Helios granddaughter was the mother of the ram, thus both the sea and the sky , the sun reigned blessed glory of this rite and sacrifice, the rights represented by the ram and the ritual were included in this rams birth to allow it to fulfill the meaning of rites necessary to give a good auspicious to this rite of adulthood and ascention to the throne. Theothane the nymph was carried to the sacride fertil;e island , as dark men might, made her into a ram, which satirs would understand by right, there hidden from teh light of the apparent, where amongst the flocks that hide them poolside sired and she bore a child. Thus the child as a ram was sired on sacride paradise soil and was a symbol also od withea( wicca earth type rites) and the goat or sheep that is symbolic of cults like those of humanity and withea. more next time. title suggested by trathit kriha of planet trahith.
