VMs: Strega, Grigori, four seasons, four stars etc...

[Nick Pelling <nickpelling@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi everyone,

According to this page on the Grigori (Watchers)...
	http://mitglied.lycos.de/ishowhowto/archangels/watchers.html
...strega has a built-in conversion between the cardinal points (of the 
compass), the four seasons, and four key stars:-

	Among the Strega the Watchers are called the Grigori. Originally
	there were 4 royal stars or Lords and they were called the Watchers.
	Each of these Lords ruled over one of the 4 cardinal points...North,
	South, East, West.

	North - Formalhaut - who marked Winter Solstice
	South - Regulus - who marked Summer Solstice
	East - Aldebaran - who marked the Vernal Equinox
	West - Antares - who marked Autumn Equinox

Furthermore...

	http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acropolis/7159/grigori.html

	They are called Alpeno, who is the Guardian of the Eastern Portal;
	Settrano, Guardian of the Southern Portal; Meana, Guardian of the
	Western Portal; Taga, Guardian of the Northern Portal.

	The minor festivals occur on the Spring and Autumnal Equinoxes,
	and the Summer and Winter Solstices. These are more in tune
	with nature and are more agricultural in nature.

Cheers, ....Nick Pelling....
