The Pleiades Sisters

The Pleiades Sisters-

The Pleiades Sisters 

In this post I am going to cover the Mythology of the
Pleiades sisters. In Greek Mythology the Pleiades Sisters were the
daughters of Pleione the Oceanid Sea-Nymph born on Mount Cyllene and Atlas the Titian that help up the world. They were also the companions of Artemis.They are the sisters of Calypos, Hyas, the Hyades and the Hesperides. The Pleiades sisters were Sea-Nymphs in the train of Artemis and together with the seven Hyades were called the Atlantides, Dodonides or  Nysiades, nursemaids and
teachers to the infant Bacchus.
There is some debate as to the origin of the sisters name Pleiades - It is said that it was
accepted that the name is derived from the name of their mother Pleione the Oceanid Sea Nymph
who was born on Mount Cyllene. However the name that their mother gave the sisters Pleiades seems
to be derived from πλεῖν which means to sail- which later became the important in the sisters sailing seasons in the Mediterranean Sea.  
After Atlas their father the Titan Giant was forced to carry the heavens on his shoulder,

The Seven Pleiades Sisters 

Orion began to pursue all of the Sister Pleiades for 7years. And got away when Zeus 

granted their prayers and changed them into Doves and then into stars to comfort their father Atlas so he would know they would be safe from Orion. The constellation of Orion is said to still trying to pursue the

sisters across the night skies. It seems that one of the most memorable myths that 

involved the Pleiades is how they literally became from Sea-Nymphs to Stars. Its called their Catasterism.

According to different versions of the legend/tale of the Pleiades sisters - all seven sister committed 

suicide because they were so saddened by either the fate of their father, Atlas or of the loss of their siblings,

the Hyades. So in turn Zeus the ruler of the Greek gods, immortalized the sisters by placing them all into

the sky for all to see for all Eternity. After Centuries when the God Zeus immortalized  the seven

Pleiades sisters into the seven star cluster, it was known thereafter as the Pleiades to this day. You 

can even see them in the modern skies of 2014... The was a Greek poet Hesiod who mention the 

The Seven Sister Pleiades at

Pleiades in his poem~Greek Poet Hesiod

'And if longing seizes you for sailing the stormy seas,

when the Pleiades flee mighty Orion

and plunge into the misty deep

and all the gusty winds are raging,

then do not keep your ship on the wine-dark sea

but, as I bid you, remember to work the land.'

The Poet Lord Tennyson in his poem ~ Locksley Hall & Poet Lord Tennyson

'Many a night I saw the Pleiades, rising through the mellow shade,

Glitter like a swarm of fire-flies tangled in a silver braid.'  

Although the loss of one of their sisters, Merope, in some myths many reflect an astronomical

event wherein one of the stars in the Pleiades star cluster disappeared from view by the naked eye.

The Pleiades-
 Their names were:

*Maia - 'Mother' Nurse'

*Alcyone - 'Queen who wards off Evil Storms'

*Electra - 'Amber' 'Shining' 'Bright'

*Celaino - 'Swarthy'

*Taygeta - 'Long-necked'

*Sterope or Asterope - 'Lightening' 'Twinkling 'Sun-Face'

*Merope - 'Eloquent' 'Mortal' 'Bee-Eater'

As I had meant before the Pleiades sisters were the daughters of Atlas and the Sea-Nymph Pleione and their

In this Images it shows where one Pleiades
sister was not counted for she dwelled in an
orchard of Hera's 

half sisters the Hyades whose mother was Aethra. The sisters were perhaps also half-sisters of the Hesperides who were the daughters of either Night alone Atlas or and Hesperis which is Evening.  Now both Pleione and Aethra were Oceanids, daughters of Oceanus and Tethys, the Titans who ruled the outer seas before being replaced by Poseidon. Atlas another Titan who led their war against the Gods and was afterward condemened by Zeus to hold up the heavens on his shoulders. Then the Pleiades were also 
Sea-nymphs to in the train of Artemis, and together with the seven Hyades were called the Atlantides, Dodonides or Nysiades, nursemaids and teachers to the infant Bacchus.

The Hesperides (`nymphs of the west'), apparently not counted in this, were only three, and dwelled in an orchard of Hera's, from which Heracles fetched golden apples in his eleventh labor. The Sisters were part of the Greek Mythology and are still in modern day as you look up in the skies today you can see the Pleiades sisters.. I hope that you Enjoy this post 

On the Pleiades sisters that were once sea-Nymphs - that were turned into the 

Seven Pleiades Stars. I love you very much my dears friends and followers

I wish you all have a wonderful weekend to come my dears

The Byakko Tiger

The Byakko Tiger-

Byakko Tiger 

Well my dears I found a new and rather beautiful Creature 
I believe myself in this post. He is one of Four Symbol of the 
Chinese constellations so I will probably continue and do all 
four for you! The Byakko Tiger is sometimes called the White Tiger of the West, and he is also known as:
Baihuin White Tiger [Chinese], Byakko White Tiger in 
[Japan],  Baekho White Tiger in [Korean], & the
Bach Ho White Tiger in [Vietnamese].
According to the Chinese Culture, the Tiger is 
the King of all the beast. It is also said that the Tiger 
especially the White Tiger has been presented with a王 
on his forehead for decades. It is said to the legend of the Chinese constellations the

Byakko Tiger

White tiger being one of them - that his tail would turn into white when he reached 
the age of 500years. In this way the White Tiger, became one of many of China's  mythological creatures.
From what I understand about the myth, is that the white tiger or Baihuin or Byakko could only
appear when the Emperor of either China or Japan ruled with absolute virtue/or if there was peace
throughout the world. This would be the only way that they would see the presents of the Godly 
White Tiger. This is because of the Tigers color after the 500 years and he thus became the mythological 
guardian of the Chinese five elements. These other elements I will go over soon in later posts, that 
this well all make since I hope..;o I found another saying about the White Tiger of the West that might
help in your understanding of the legend~ 'The White Tiger of the West is associated with metal. 

The Byakko Tiger

Therefore , metal is placed in a grave, at this moment the ceremonial connection with the tiger god is effected with the deceased King. So According to the Chinese Annals of the Wu and Yueh, three days after the burial of the King , the essence of the King and the elements of mental assumed the shape of a White Tiger, after which the White Tiger, then crouches down on the top of the Kings grave. Here the Tiger is a protector - A Preserver - As we have seen White Jade was used when the Tiger God of the West was Worshipped; 
It is known as 'Tiger Jade', a tiger was depicted on the jade symbol. To the Chinese the Tiger was the King 
of all animals and lord of the mountains and the Tiger-jade ornament was specially reserved for commanders of the armies. It was also said that the Male Tiger was among other things, the God of War & in this 
capacity it not only assisted the armies of the Great Emperors, but the White Tiger has fought off the demons 

that have threatened the dead in their graves. Well I hope that I was able to write the legend in

away that you all could understand.. I am going to try to do all of the Four of the Symbols of the 

Chinese constellations.  So I will be continuing with this post with the White Tiger as their protector 

And Guardian. I hope that you all my dears friends and followers will

come by to see the next post and that you like the change I did

On my background too. I love you all very much:o
