Pleiades:
The convoluted symbolism of the Pleiades or Seven Sisters suggests an extremely archaic tradition. The importance attached to this group of dim stars seems out of proportion to their apparent insignificance.

Record holders of the Earth,
Will you please explain
The history that gave us birth,
The truth you do contain?

Like your cosins of the seas,
The shells that let us hear,
Sared whispers are the key,
to the history we hold dear.

Stone People we will hear you.
Teach us the ancient ways,
So we may build a future
Based on prayer and praise.
