THE 16th of June is the Egyptian "Night of the Teardrop" festival.
On this night, when the moon rises into the sky, Isis sheds one blessed and mournful tear for her beloved, Osiris, as the breeze from her wings fans the breath of life into him ... so that he is reborn to eternal life.
That precious tear is then collected by intersex Nile inundation deity HAPI, signalling the start of the build up to the inundation in July.
Similarly, Hadrian wept for Antinous after he died in the Nile in late 130 AD, and subsequently proclaimed Antinous a god.
Divine Antinous called upon HAPI to bring forth a bountiful flood in the summer of 131 AD to end a famine.
It was the first miracle of Antinous!
The mystery teaching: Even in tears of grief, the divine miracle of life comes forth.
