DO YOU HEAR THE SONGS OF THE MUMAIDS when you sea the Moon aligned with Mu Virginis?

Music of the Sirens BY by Linda Phyllis Austern (Editor), Inna Naroditskaya (Editor) COVER

Whether referred to as Mermaid, Rusalka, Mami Wata, or by some other name, and whether considered an imaginary being or merely a person with extraordinary abilities, the siren is the remarkable creature that has inspired music and its representations from ancient Greece to present-day Africa and Latin America. This book, co-edited by a historical musicologist and an ethnomusicologist, brings together leading scholars and some talented newcomers in classics, music, media studies, literature, and cultural studies to consider the siren and her multifaceted relationships to music across human time and geography.

Mu /ˈmjuː/[1] (uppercase Μ, lowercase μ; Ancient Greek μῦ [mŷː], Greek: μι or μυ—both [mi]) or my[2] is the 12th letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 40.[3] Mu was derived from the Egyptian hieroglyphic symbol for water.

In ancient cultures, calendars were not an organisation of days, but a record of the physical and spiritual order. Physically these times of change were quite important as they marked the planting period or, in the case of the Autumn Equinox, the start of the harvesting period and the storing of food for the winter. In the African calendar (a calendar governed by agriculture), this period is the third season and known as The Faro Season or the birth of the lion-king.

Spiritually there is a great power around “edge times” like the equinoxes and they represent the balance between day and night, winter and summer, dark and light. More deeply they represent the balance of light and life, and dark and death within human spirituality; all things must die, before than can be born again. The Autumn Equinox is the literal dying of the sun and the light, and without the dark, cold winter, the sun cannot be reborn in the spring and life cannot continue. The journey the sun takes is considered the spiritual journey that man takes from darkness to enlightenment.
