Regions of the Templum Albi Exterioris



i. The Album Exterius is a Templum, which is divided into Regions wherein dwell the Gods, and these Regions are grouped into four Quadrants, Southeast, Southwest, Northwest and Northeast. [A Templum is an area in which the haruspex observes omens.]
ii. These are the Regions and Quadrants and their Meanings. [It is very helpful to make a diagram of the following Regions and Quadrants. Also the gods are identified below by their Etruscan names and annotated with Graeco-Roman or other equivalents, where they exist. The significance of the deities is merely indicated below; supplement with your own interpretation.]

[SE]

Going to the East of the Fibra the Regions are:

CATHA

CATHA, Daughter of the Sun, governs quick beginnings, sudden dawnings.

Going to the South of the Fibra the Regions are:

FUFLUNS is Lord of the Grape and Intoxication, and of the Delights of Vitality of all kinds.

SELVANS [Silvanus]

SELVANS is Lord of Forests and of their clearing for cultivation. He is bad for children and for women in labor.

SELVANS is also a Tutor Finium [guardian of boundaries] and so terminates the Southeast Quadrant, which is known is Felicitas [Good Fortune].

[SW]

Continuing West from SELVANS the Regions are:

LETHAM

LETHAM: he protects like MARIS [Mars], but dwells in EITA [Hades].

TLUSCVA

The TLUSCVA are Tellus and Tellumo, the Nurturing and the Inseminating, the Earth Mother and the Earth Father.

CEL [Gaia]

ATI CEL [Mother Cel], the Deep-Breasted, the Fruitful Earth.

CULSU & ALPAN [Libens, Harmonia, Concordia]

Willing Consent is the gift of ALPAN, handmaid to TURAN [goddess of love].

The Infernal Demon CULSU, Goddess of Gateways, is a Tutor Finium, and so terminates the Southwest Quadrant, which is known as Regiones Dirae [The Fearful Regions].

[NW]

Continuing North from CULSU the Regions are:

Evil-Jove, Lord of Death and Destruction.

CILENS [Tyche, Fortuna]

CILENS is Lady Luck, Mistress of Chance, bringer of Victory or Disaster.

TIN [Zeus, Jupiter, Tiu] & CILENS

TIN [or TINIA], Lord of the Thunderbolt, is a God of Heaven and Light. From this Region TIN sends Destroying Lightning, but only if the Di Involuti [Veiled Gods] concur. [For CILENS, see above.]

TINS THUFLTHA [Punishment of TIN]

THUFLTHA, the Fury, inflicts punishment for TIN, her Father. For from this Region TIN sends the Lightning which does some Good as well as Harm, but he does so only if his Council concurs.

TIN is also a Tutor Finium, and so terminates the Northwest Quadrant, which is known as Regiones Maxime Dirae [The Most Fearful Regions].

[NE]

Continuing East from TINS THUFLTHA the Regions are:

TINSTH NETHUNS [NETHUNS in TIN's Region]

From this Region TIN sends Gentle Lightning as a Warning to Mankind, and He does this without consultation. [For NETHUNS, see above.]

UNI, Goddess of Light and Fertility, is Sister and Wife of TIN. Uni oversees Marriage, the Wedding Night, Pregnancy, Childbirth, and Nursing. She also protects the State and her Rulers. . . . . [MAE is unknown, but may be Maius, a Jupiter-like consort of UNI. We get our month names May and June from Maius and Juno.]

TECVM [Tikamne Iuvie]

APA TECUM [Father TECUM] is the God of the Ruling Class.

LVSA [Dea Dia or Lynsa silvestris?]

LVSA: Goddess of Field and Forest.

LVSA is also a Tutor Finium, and so terminates the Northeast Quadrant, which is known as Summa Felicitas [Greatest Good Fortune]. The Circle is complete; it has returned to the Region of NETHUNS.
