Anointed, the

As the oration was being recited, Don Alejandro anointed the subject with a piece of copal dipped in the San Pedro. The Curandero then gave him a pinch of the San Pedro to carry for protection if he felt danger during or after the session. After a final benediction (Fig. 6), the potions were drunk and the light was turned out.

Blood also anointed the Earth Priestess omphalos stone. This was a navel shrine of the Earth Mother with the spiral python motif of immortality.

Where the logistics and transportation paradigm is instilled, companies will anoint the head of distribution as the supply chain executive. In place of the supply chain term, these companies might use an alternative term, the demand chain. This reflects attention paid to the outbound, rather than the inbound or supply side, side of the business. Although this is useful for companies in the middle of supply chains, we do not adopt this convention in this book, taking the view of the product or service user at the end of the chain. 

The use of fragrant substances has been continuous, and the use of Hpids or emoUients for anointing is fully documented in historical writings. However, it is probably not justifiable to identify the recipes passed on from antiquity as cosmetics. The compositions based on folklore and mysticism were replaced by more scientifically acceptable products beginning about 1875. The first edition of a handbook of cosmetic chemistry pubHshed in 1920 included a foreword noting that scientific cosmetic chemistry did not exist prior to that pubHcation (1). A few years later, texts on cosmetic chemistry and other formularies became available (2).

Our behavioural observations suggested that spotted hyenas actively acquired scent from other clan members when they pasted over stalks of vegetation that held scent deposited by another clan member. During this process the scent of other clan members may be taken into the protruded scent gland as well as being rubbed onto the pasting individual s fur. As clan membership is not static over time, there is probably a need for clan members to continuously anoint themselves with the scent of other clan members to retain the current clan odour. 

Aaron, the brother of Moses, was chosen to be the first High Priest because his staff of almond wood miraculously flowered when left overnight in the tabernacle. Those of the other candidates remained dormant. Aaron was anointed and arrayed in the high-priestly robes of glory (representing the inner vehicles of the Upper Worlds) and he... 

By gematria, the number 358 is that of the serpent of temptation in Eden and also of the Messiah, the Anointed One. This reveals that the serpent is the tempter. Kundalini is the source of the illusion of apparent separateness, and so is the father of lies. Yet, when overcome (transmuted), kundalini becomes the very instrument of our salvation (literally, a safe passage home ). That by which we fall is also that by which we can rise again.
