The Quest To Find Raxxla

SN 1572 is also interesting. It was in Cassiopeia and Tycho Brahe wrote "Stella Nova". This was also shortly before Phillip Sidney wrote Astrophel and Stella.
Yeah that was my first thought but there was a search done earlier and fdev stated that tycho g and cass a are not ingame(but that might have changed) , it is an interesting SN and one that philip sidney would have witnessed(visibility during the day and such) , but due to the earlier search and my own i've decided to move on. I originally thought that one of sir philip sidney's sonnets might have been about sn 1572 but couldn't come up with anything. Now a friend has tied some theories to the ophiuchus constellation but I will let him post them if he wants and that leads me to sn 1604.
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/the-cassiopeia-project.297941/ a link to the earlier search for cas a
looking in the direction of cass from sol within 6.5k to 16.5k light years I cannot spot any uncatalogued/unnamed nebulas. I'm assuming it would would have the wrong name or an ingame sector name since its not searchable via galaxy map as SN 1572 or any other of its many designations.

Does part of the Raxxa Codex reference the tale of Hercules and Omphale?
A mile of aluminium forthcoming, to reiterate this is a continuation of my hypothesis that Philip Sidney's 'The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia' is potentially the book referenced within the codex, as opposed to the proposed 'Astrophil and Stella'.

In essence Astrophil is a male prefix but the use of 'Princess' I suggested denotes the feminine.
So I hit a brick wall. In the attempt to find any other potential connections I began a number of random key word searches and I fell across a certain use of a word, whilst researching 'Mary Sidney, spinning and spiralling'.
What surfaced was the use of the word 'Distaff': used as a symbol to describe the female side of a family, e.g. 'spinners', a derogatory term or a female form of empowerment 'distaffing'.
The word distaff essentially means staff, taking its name from dis, old norse for lady. A ladies staff.
This rang a bell...
The passage here is from 'Acadia' and describes the bejeweled garment of Pyrocles, which was held together using a jeweled clasp dipicting Hercules holding a 'distaff''...and thats when a penny dropped. Pyrocles (who changes into Cleophila) means "troubled with fire"?
Hercules held a distaff when he was enslaved / married to Omphale, is this possibly the feminine of Omphalos?
Granted its a mile long drop, and Im very sure its spurious nonsense caused by insomnia. But references to Hercules in a feminine form does crop up regularly within Arcadia, if not at least in its preoccupation with cross-dressing.
en.m.wikipedia.org
So 'to the jewel that burns'... Pyrocles or Hercules, Omphale or Distaff?
Is the mother of galaxies another feminine / male role reversal?
Could the mother be Hercules... as he did wear that dress after all... on the brow however...?
Also Xenoclea was the name of the Pythia at Delphi, in the story relating to Hercules (Orion) pinching her tripod - shes responsible for enslaving him to Omphale (Omphalos).
The Castalian Spring, in the ravine between the Phaedriades at Delphi, where pilgrims who came to consult the Delphic Oracle — stopped to wash themselves and quench their thirst; it is also here that the Pythia and the priests cleansed themselves before the oracle-giving process and where she pops off to for a quick wash after all her deslings with Herc and her missing tripod. Some Roman poets regarded it as a source of poetic inspiration. According to some mythological versions it was here that Apollo killed the monster, Python, who was guarding the spring, and that is why it was considered to be sacred.
But then again...Distaff. It pops up everywhere in mythology.
Textiles in mythology and folklore
Celestial mother of the Jade, weaving the stars and their light, the 'silver river' (milky way). The Celestial mother is associated with the star Vega.
Did I mention Hercules also slayed a dragon for Omphale....the dragon Maionios (Lydian Dragon) in Lydia.
Lot of dragons popping up...
Now some could point out that this slaying of Omphales dragon is associated with the constellation Ophiuchus, this same constellation was also representative of Appolo slaying Pytho that guarded the oracle of Delphi!
Very curious. Ophiuchus rings another bell. Ophiuchus also known as the 13th sign of the zodiac. Ophiuchus is also home to a certain nova SN 1604, Kepler's Supernova, Kepler's Nova or Kepler's Star.
Soul of the World: The Sweet Swans of Maeonia
Allegorical illustration from 1618 showing the Rosicrucian's Invisible College in its role as a bastion of free thinking in the arts and sciences. The new stars in Serpens in 1604 (upper left) and Cygnus in 1600 (upper right) are pictured as being major influences on the movement at this time.
Johannes Kepler's book of 1606 on the stellar nova seen in Serpens in the year 1604 and in Cygnus in 1600. Right, a page from the same book with a woodcut showing the new star in Cygnus located at the base of the swan's neck. Next to it appears the letter "N."
Maeonia was also the ancient name for the eastern portion of Lydia of which Ophale was queen.
And the nova in Signus was alluded to during the time of Philip and Mary Sidney, who's sign was of the swan...
The University Latin elegies for Sidney play on the proximity of the Latinized 'Sidneius' to the Latin cygnus, swan.
“a snowie Swan of heavenly hiew” whose own ... as “an heavenly signe,” thus punning on Cygnus, swan, via the constellation Cyncus
Oh dear sweet pareidolia!
But one thing that has always irked me. Donars Oak in the Delphi system. It always seemed to be some sort of obvious clue but I couldn't make it fit... but Donars Oak (Thor) and of course not forgetting Distaff?
Well this was a new one on me... in norse myth theres Friggs Distaff... which is... Orions belt!
Wife of Odin and considered a 'mother godess', also known as Figga, Frije, Frea, Frig, Perchte, Berchet, Frau Holda, Frau Gode, Freyja and Frige. As Orion is located along the celestial equator it's stars spin over time (thus attributed to Frigg at her wheel).
Sprialling Stars!
en.m.wikipedia.org
So here I am between a dragon on one side and the hunter in a dress on the other... I've checked out many of these names in game but all for nought so I open this can of worms to see if anyone else can make sense of it.
I'm fully aware this is some form of pareidolia...or confirmation bias but its still been an interesting ride.

Gotta get the right music for your quest!
This video also features two systems that were found that both have an 8th moon,
and for some reason certain bodies (including the 8th moons) within the systems will vanish from your radar when too close or too far from them.
Unresolved. Enjoy the video and the tunes.
The two systems are ADS 9338 AC and ADS 4229 ABC. There are a total of ten ADS systems in game, only these two do this thing.

Problem with allegories is ...
...I don't get 90% of it
because English is not my native ... now, how many langs Elite officially supports?
And how much will be lost in translation? I can say example:
"mother's brow" in Russian is translated as "crown on mother's head" such context. So every russian player was checking north/sourth crowns asterisms.
So that should be ...more straight. For example most cultures use rings on weddings, then parents feel not good after weddings ...so that could be some sky-ring, like nebula, etc.

Ya I have been playing around with this as well, Of course from the Platonic angle - a little bit of syncretism based around spinning - Frigg and her Maidens (Fulla in charge of Friggs Jewels) / Anake with her sirens/muses.... makes for interesting correlations - especially with the Orion Nebula being the fiber on the distaff.
So this lft business at the moment. Am I right to think that if it is indeed directly connected with the dark wheel that the permit for the system has been available since launch? If so are there any galnet articles that are connected in any way to this system or a group that has ties to this system.
My own thoughts on this is I doubt it has anything to do with the raxxla plot as polaris seems more of a prominent place to put any progression to something such as whatever raxxla is. Lft seems more of a base that the thargoids want something from if Buurs video is correct. Raxxla has not been confirmed to be a planet. Nobody knows what it is yet (outside of fdev).
The alleged toast of the dark wheel is not confirmed to be the actual toast.
Anyway that's my 50p worth. Keep on entertaining folks.

In some circles it may be described as the sacred hoop.

Ah, perhaps to get the Dark Wheel invitation we have to play galactic championship basketball?
Hi all, first post but long time lurker. Trying to make sense of it as an amateur astronomer. I know it was maybe mentioned so far. But I believe the only clue is the first sentence of the toast.
To the jewel that burns on the brow of the mother of galaxies!
jewel = star, star system, something
mother of galaxies = Cassiopeia
brow = the summit of a hill or pass
Schedar = The star’s name, Schedar, derives from the Arabic word for breast.
To the Schedar that burns on the summit of the breast of Cassiopeia!
So am I crazy or is it something? The system is empty and after scanning all the signals only those two were interesting but I think they are generated the same around the galaxy.
The only problem I have with this is that Cassiopea is the mother of the galaxy, Andromeda. One galaxy, not galaxies like in the toast.
