The Wintermaker (đ§”)
The Ojibwe call Orion, âKabibonaâkanâ, which means the âWinter Makerâ, as its presence in the night sky heralds the coming of winter. Orion is the marker for the coming of the âtime of deathâ in nature and the eventual arrival of the new sun (new year).

Orion is the âYear Makerâ, and from late summer through to the Beltane, Orion dominates the sky above the horizon, along with Aldebaran, the Pleiades, Polaris and Ursa Major. During the late spring months of May and into June, Orion is out of sight & said to be in the Underworld.
The Ojibwe talk of the Great Man with outstretched arms reaching with one arm to the Great Black Hole (Alberdan) that all life in the Universe emerged while the Other Arm reaches to Canis Minor, Orion's Hunting Dog, the Black Dog G-d found in Neary every culture (Anubis/ Xoltol).
The name, Orion, in Hebrew, means âthe breaking forth of lightâ and therefore symbolises the âplace of lightâ. In ancient Akkadian, Orion was âUr-anaâ, the light of heaven and is the âplaceâ from where Saturn (Saturnalia) gets its interstellar instructions.
