Fresh Batch #3: Pole Star Farrago Part 1: Mary

The most justified character to be attributed to Polaris, but who isn’t, is Mary, due to there actually being a handful of writers in the Middle Ages referring to her as the Polestar or the Star of the Sea. Mary comes from Mare, the Latin word for “sea.”

First up, The Marian Hymn: Ave maris stella (why wouldn’t her name (Maris) be capitalized?). My friend’s sister’s name was Maris. She capitalized it. According to Wikipedia, it’s apparent that they have no idea when it was created or by whom, which is usually an indicator of forgery.

The Marian hymn is sun-g at Vespers (evening). Vesper, meaning evening star, is another word for Venus when it is a heliacal setting star (as it is right now; go see it with Jupiter tonight), as opposed to a heliacal rising star as Lucifer in the morning, on account of its proximity to the sun. Vesper or Venus, as an evening star, is Lord of the Night. It has nothing to do with the Pole Star. Mary, is clearly an archetype for Venus/Aphrodite (Foam-Sprung)/Rhodes.

Mary being referred to as the star of the sea is the result of a transcription error, the subsequent reference to her as the Star of the Sea is a product of Middle Age corruption.
