90 Magic [ch purified by a thunder-stone and that this thunder-stone was in all probability nothing but a black stone celt, the simplest form of stone-age axe. The wide-spread delusion that these celts were thunderbolts cannot have taken hold of men's minds till a time when their real use as ordinary axes was forgotten. It cannot therefore have been very primitive, though it is almost world-wide. The double axe, ire\eKv
' iv] The Horkos, the abaton and tabu 91 In Greece a place that was struck by lightning became an afiarov, a spot not to be trodden on, unapproachable. On the Acropolis at Thebes were to be seen, Pausanias 1 tells us, the bridal chambers of Harmonia and Semele—and even to his day, Pausanias adds, no one was allowed to set foot in the chamber of Semele. And why ? The other name for these tabu-ed places speaks clearly—they were evrfKvcrta, places of coming. This Poliux tells us, is the name given to places on which a bolt from heaven has descended. The Etymologicum Magnum adds that such places were dedicated to Zeus the Descender (Karat^drr)), and were called a^ara and ahvra. In the aftaTov at Thebes, ' along with the thunderbolt which was hurled on the bridal chamber of Semele, there fell a log from heaven, and they say that Polydorus 1 adorned this log with bronze and called it Dionysos Kadnios.' Here we see unmistakeably the meaning of tabu : it is an attitude towards mana; something full of mana, instinct, alive with Wa-kow'-da, has fallen from heaven to earth and that spot of earth becomes charged as it were with an electric potency, that spot of earth must in common prudence for the common good be fenced about. It becomes a Horkos, an enclosed sanctity 2 . When theo- logians, busy with their full-blown Olympians, forgot the old notion of mana, the double-edged sanctity, they invented the vulgar story that Semele was blasted for impiety, for idle curiosity ; but the old local legend remembered that the thunderstorm was the bridal of Earth and Sky, of Gaia-Semele and Ouranos- Keraunos, and that from that wedding sprang the thunder-child Bromios. On the Acropolis of Athens as on the Acropolis at Thebes, and probably in early days on every high place, there was a Place of Coming— and it shows us a new characteristic of these a/3ara. They were not only fenced in as tabu, but they were left open to the sky, ' hypaethral,' left in communication as it were with the source of their mana, their sanctity, which might pour in upon them anew any time. In the north porch of the Erechtheion are the marks of a trident 3 . In examining the roof of this north 1 IX. 12. 3 .../cat es Tjfias 2ti dfiarov
