20d Castor
20d . . . . just to clarify the 'Star' reference, Castor was a great horseman and his brother Pollux was a formidable boxer. Together, they were the "Heavenly Twins" often associated with the constellation Gemini.
3d like the clappers
4a blesboks fits in my other words , but haven't reasoned it out yet.
18a has me stuck!
bles b ok s
b =bishop
ok = sanctioned
inside divine favour = bless
16d MEGILLAH (scroll)

Noah's son = Ham, recalled => mah
for instance = eg
misfortune = ill

thus:- m-eg ill-ah
invite divine favour = BLESS now put B (for bishop) and OK (sanctioned) inside BLES - - -S =BLESBOKS
