The game is a spiral consisting of 63 squares. The number 7 multiplied by 9 gives us 63, and each box with the number 9 and its multiples have the image of a goose.
other hand the writer Rafael Herrera Alarcón, author of "The Other Spain's Temple," "In the Shadow of the Templars, Puzzles Magic of Spain" among others, states that the goose game consists of 64 boxes and not 63 as stated: "The correct number of boxes is 64. Of these, 63 are numbered and the last, 63, is the Gate of the Garden of the Goose, the garden itself has no number but accounts for 64. But, as center Mystical, not numbers ever. 6 + 4 = 10 1 + 0 = 1, Unity, the One, the Invisible.
is a confusion created by printers, making the board without knowing the ancestral tradition. The board has suffered many strains in modern times we use to study the oldest "esoteric
Some believe the Game of the Goose, is a symbolic map of the Camino de Santiago encryption, where the Templars and Partners Builders, marked places that had a particular significance. It would be a rebus, where the symbols were known to the initiates of the Order, and that allowed an understanding to all Knights of the Order regardless of the language of each. Those who attribute its origin to the Templars, with the theory that, they would use for their leisure time in Jerusalem, the shells of the "Nautilus", which assigned him apart from the recreational component, a cryptographic message that only certain members of the Order, were able to decipher. On this, Rafael Alarcón explains:
"The Templars, can they played at the Goose, as everyone in the Middle Ages. But they did not invent the game, the game comes from classical antiquity at least. This is a fake news "thank you" to the Internet runs like wildfire.
Similarly, the game is not a "map" Camino de Santiago, both paths have points in common, they respond to a similar symbolism are mutually influenced, but the game is not the Way. This fanciful and misguided interpretation comes from intellectual speculation, some authors did for the 70 and 80 of the last century, about the symbolism of the Game of the Goose. "
Origins of the Game Oca :
Phaistos Disc
The discovery of the Phaistos Disc in 1908 in the ruins of Palace of Crete (Greece) opened a new line of research on the origins of the game. Phaistos disc belongs to the Middle Minoan III period and so their age must be within the range from 1580 to 1700 BC C. It consists of a clay disk, circular and about 16 cm. in diameter and 2.1 cm. thick. Both sides of the disk containing spiral paths, which are divided into 30 and 31 boxes, which appear in several drawings, among which we can appreciate the figure of 8 birds, which could well be geese. Hieroglyphs representing
:
Characters: men, women and children in body, bare heads and helmets.
Animals: fish, birds.
Plants: flowers, swords
Miscellaneous objects: containers, weapons, ships ...
There have been many theories about the meaning of this record, some historians think the Phaistos disc reproduces a letter: a hymn (Fernández, 2001), whose characters would be the script (pictographic script representing identifiable objects) that was used in Crete in the time that was modeled and recorded around 1700 BP. O is considered as a matrix for the cymbals. We read in the Encyclopedia U. Volume 23 (1988, 101): "In Faistos was discovered the famous album of that name and, according to Dr. Pernier, is a matrix of cymbals used in traditional rites of a great goddess, which was recorded in the invocation that the worshipers would sing it. Contains a hymn in verses docmíacos dedicated to Minerva. "(Being the docmio, a foot consisting of a verse poetry short, two long and two short and 8 units in length).
The Symbol of The Goose
Goose's name has been kept in various European linguistic expressions. In Spain, has kept the name Oca, but most used the term goose ansar
The problem to decipher the myth of Paw has been unable Oca mostly because of the many stories on it are counted, leading to confusion and sometimes contradiction.
Robert Laffont, in his "Dictionary of Symbols", indicates that the Goose was very important in the Egypt of the pharaohs. For example, the hieroglyph of Geb, heir to the throne of Horus, is a goose and a leg. He adds that when the pharaohs were identified with the sun, his soul was represented in the form of a goose, as is the sun Oca hatched early.
also expressed that the geese were seen as messengers between heaven and earth. The advent of a new king was announced, among other rituals, releasing four geese to the four directions.
To the Celts, the goose was also a messenger from another world. The Romans, meanwhile, paid him special attention, as were the geese, the geese of the Capitol, which warned in time a surprise attack. Charpentier
any mythology says that the goose is a symbol that reflects the "insider" and it is given from the earliest times. Goose is usually symbolized by his leg, which seems right as this was the principal hallmark of her.
This sign of the Goose is also the story of a Queen Pedauque (goose foot) with a sense of "initiation." This Queen Pedauque (not to be confused with the story of Queen Patojo, variant also goose foot) seems to be originating from the region of Toulouse in the French side of the Pyrenees. This seems right, because after the innovations of the barbarians, and perhaps before, there is only one way of initiation in the West and its tradition is in the Pyrenees, the Cantabrian coast and the coast of the estuaries of Galicia to the open Atlantic . Charpentier
make a real journey through the initiatory path acknowledging the permanence of geese throughout their length.
"But we discovered (...) goose with its original name Oca or Indo-European version of "goose" or "loop"
"In the region of Jaca, origin of the road, so we" Anso "in the" valley of Anso "crashed not far from the" barracks Lizarra "(instead of stars in Basque language). We return to find it again in the nomination of two streams, which bear his name and took him: the river "oja" Alfredo Gil River was originally believed that the river "goose" and who gave his name to the "Rioja" then another "river Oca, Montes de Oca, where there is a" Peak Piedraja "that it seems to be "Stone Jars (goose), not far from a" Ocon, "which is quite expressive."
In the course of the Camino de Santiago, there are two areas in which populations persist name: Duck, Goose, Ansar, Jar .. The Rioja region of Villafranca Montes de Oca. Berciana area from El Ganso to Vega de Valcarce.
Mari, númen main Basque mythology is represented in many different ways, you may receive from a lady dressed in red satin, even as a village more often
identifiable by having a foot of duck or goose (which described as Lamia Queen of the fairies for excellence in Euskal Herria). The lamias are nocturnal creatures that have a female anthropomorphic figure, but her feet are actually legs, usually palmípeda.Viven bird on the banks of rivers, where they often dip when they detect human presence, but there is a legend too extended counts as a pastor and a lamia fell in love.
* Bertha, Queen Pedauque French folklore, is the queen Visigoth Ragnachilde, Eurico wife, was later identified Bertrana, the mother of Charlemagne, which was famous for her deformed foot. In the tomb of Pedauque is an allegorical figure that has made the legend speaks of a Goose Pie Queen lying there, turning what should have been a foot deformity in poultry.
Legend Pedauque attributed to order the construction of a bridge. Berta or Bertrana is famous for being a benefactor of children, so the mob turned in no less than the fabled Mother Goose. Hertha is Queen Pie de Oca that builds and governs the bridge, but she is also the same bridge. This has survived in Christian clothing, such as the Puente de la Reina de interesting name-in Navarra, in the middle of which is a chapel dedicated to a Black Madonna and protects a crucifix with the figure of the symbol peculiar Pie de Oca
