It is noteworthy that these corresponding events happen in roughly opposite sequence in biography of Jesus Christ from that of the sequence of events in the biography of Hephaistos.

self-transmutations

The katharos (beetle) is [in Kemetian] H^PR "to become (viz., to transform one's self into, sc., another shape, as during a shamanic dream as shape-shifter)": the [Samskr.ta] aequivalent is Svayam-bhu "[one's] own-becoming", which is etymologically the same name as He-phaistos (< *Swa-bhav-isthos).

Likewise, [in the highland Maya] Imox "beetle" is the first of a sequence of 20 [?self-]transmutations. In general, in South American Indian lore, the [psychedic-drug-containing] beetle is often the Supreme Being.

That this myth is an allegory about the self would appear from

the description in the Military Techniques of the Yellow Thearch and Mystic Maiden "of the Mystic maiden as possessing a bird's body and a human head" (CT, p. 253, fn. 131):

this would indicate her to repraesent the [Kemetian] BL (B3) human-headed-bird soul.

Yes^uwa< Mas^iyah. = Pa>ao

The "cultivated ... weeds of Pa>ao" hindered storms (HM, p. 370).

Jesus Christ stilled a tempest, on the Sea of Galilee. (Matthew 8:26)

At the behest of Pa>ao, aku & opelu fish "leaped up and skipped in the waters and quieted the waves." (HM, p. 371)

Jesus Christ as (according to Tertullianus: On Baptism, ch. 1) IKHThUS "fish". (OB)

The emigration-ship of Pa>ao was named Ka-nalo-a-muia "The buzzing of flies" (HM, p. 371). {Cf. ibid., p. 374, where [Maori] MANAia = [Hawai>ian] Makua-kau-MANA.}

Jesus Christ was reputed to evoke the tutelary-god of the Pilis^tine sea-farers, Ba<al-zbub "owner of flies". (Matthew 12:24; Mark 3:22; Luke 11:15)

Pa>ao invited, for the emigration voyage, Lono-ka-eho (HM, p. 373), namesake of

[= the Norse voyager-god Hy`mir, whose

the other Lono-ka-eho who had 8 "foreheads of stone" (HM, p. 209): but

head was as hard as stone]

in his stead there emigrated Pili-ka->au>au (/>au>au/ ‘to bathe’ – HD).

John the baptist (baptise = bathe)

"Other institutions ascribed to him [Pa>ao] are the Pulo<ulo<u tapu sign, the prostrating tapu ..." (HM, p. 370)

Cross = tapu-sign. "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow ..." (Philippians 2:10)

Hephaistos = Manannan

M[anannan]

H[ephaistos]

M. shook color-shifting cloak [cf. Aurora borealis] between his adulterous wife Fand and her paramour Cu-chulain ("hound of Culann") (MML)

H. snared in a net his adulterous wife Aphrodite and her paramour Ares (to an aspect of whom, Enu-alios, hounds were immolated)

M. "took notice of the tree that it was split and withered" on account of BALOR. Along with its wood, M. gifted away chess-pieces (CH&DH). {cf. Peit "chess-piece" as name of a rune, so that an alphabet is implied -- the alphabet was miraculously known (Infancy Gospel of Thomas, 7) to the untaught boy-Jesus. (IGTh)}

Gifting is implied in the name of Nathana-el, whom Jesus Christ had seen (by "remote viewing") "under the fig-tree" (Gospel of John 1:48)} Jesus Christ commanded it to yield no more fruit, so the fig tree withered away. (Matthew 21:19 & Mark 11:14) [BALOR =] PHALERos the son of Alkon, who was a son (Nonnus: Dionysiaca 14.17) of H. (AKKh)
