The Golden Compass
noun:
1. the first book in the his dark materials series by philip pullman.
2. an object of the same name or alethiometer (literally truth-measure) within said book. it is used by lyra (the protaganist) to find truth and meaning throughout her journey. it resembeles a large golden-colored pocketw-tch with three kn-bs on it’s rim. it opens to reveal an ornate circle with 36 distinct symbols at it’s edge with three large hands and one small hand which move around it. each symbol has a series of meanings which, when held in one’s mind may pose as a question or an answer. the big hands move to form your question with the kn-bs and the little hand moves to give the answer.
very like a clock, or a comp-ss, for there were hands pointing to places around the dial, but instead of the hours or the points of the comp-ss there were several little pictures, each of them painted with the finest and slenderest sable brush.
– extract from the golden comp-ss (aka northern lights)
