Rather, I would consider the two parts, hieros and onymous:

G2413
hieros
hee-er-os'
Of uncertain affinity; sacred: - holy.

–onym
suff.
Word; name: acronym.
[Greek -onumon, neuter of -onumos, having a specified kind of name, from onuma, name.]

Although my tantra simmers, and I get older and do more web research,
I cannot seem to pin down all symbols yet, but the features of naming
and of wheel (or circle, hebr GIRGAL) are definitely sexual metaphors.

As surely as cross is a male genital, the circle is a female genital.
This ATD line is further suggestive of sex, mentioning bouncing ball.

I remember in particular one numinous tantric event, when I had gone
up to a wrong apartment, and a lady answered, and I confusedly kept
asking for some person that I thought lived there. In autofellatio
to follow, emphasizing the target image of cunnilingus, I was given
a very clear instruction: "Hold the wheel like I showed you, Jacob".


The Word, and The Name, are certainly related to certain sexual acts.
Those two concepts probably map in particular on Come! and Fuck!
I suggest all sexually created beings worship fuck as creater/God.
But this holy name fuck is actually only ever acted out, ineffable.
Although one may shout "FUCK!" it is not the act, to fuck, The Fuck.


Sacred is harder, double: In gk HAGIOS, holy, we have "set aside from
common use". In ANATHEMA, nominally cursed, we actually have "oath",
or dedicated (to god). In QADESH we have holy, as in the Holy Spirit,
yet elsewhere it also is used as a label for male temple prostitutes.

The Greek word hagios means literally something that is consecrated or set aside

http://www.infoplease.com/dictionary/brewers/anathema.html
A denunciation or curse. The word is Greek, and means to place, or set up,
in allusion to the mythological custom of hanging in the temple of a patron god
something devoted to him. Thus Gordius hung up his yoke and beam; the shipwrecked
hung up their wet clothes; workmen retired from business hung up their tools, etc.
Hence anything set apart for destruction; and so, set apart from the Church as under a curse.

http://www.touregypt.net/godsofegypt/qadesh.htm
Qadesh was Middle-Eastern goddess of sacred ecstasy and sexual pleasure,
adopted in the New Kingdom by the Egyptians into a triad with the gods Min and Reshep.
Her name, probably meaning the "holy", gives no clue to her origins but she seems to be
a manifestation of the sensuousness inherent in the goddesses Astarte and Anat.

Of course, mention of Baal reminds me of a Lord vs. Baal distinction (as enemies).

I am reminded of a web page describing 2 x 2 distinctions:

    numinous vs. common,
and
    clean vs. unclean.

Which 4 seem to be like these 4 at the end of Revelation:

He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be 
filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that 
is holy, let him be holy still.

On the other hand, like Dave's recent pseudo-etymology of kindred
as related to kind, I speculate 'like' means those you might lick.


BTW, did OBA hyphenate East-Man? Then he is emphasizing the East,
the orient, which actually means ascendant, as in Sun-rising, vs.
the occident, or descendant. Once, about 1980, after going through
my Rev 12 or Egyptian rebirth event, I blew myself with regard to
the rising sun out the window. (Next week I was on the psych ward.)

Revelation mentions an angel ascending from the east, after the 6th seal:

And after these things I saw four angels standing on the four corners of the 
earth, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the 
earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. And I saw another angel ascending from 
the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to 
the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea, Saying, 
Hurt not the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, till we have sealed the 
servants of our God in their foreheads.

Of course, while Rev seems to offer a great secret in the introduction...
Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things 
which shall be hereafter; The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my 
right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of 
the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven 
churches.

...it's not much of a revelation until you figure out that the former and
latter are male and female genitals, respectively, in seven coital spaces.

Ps: > [293:37] "An edge of steel-mathematically without width"

One of the most evokative, if not pleasant mental suggestions
I used to think upon was this: "Imagine that you are sliding
down the edge of a razor blade."
