Great talk here - So many connections made - It boggles the imagination when you consider our ancestors' search for meaning. Many thanks for your work!
@@alexandergriffith4517 Not at all. Graves dropped seven trees of the original twenty because he only wanted thirteen. The Ogham Grove uses the sequence of twenty trees, given in the Auraicept na n-Eces, which dates back to 1390 AD.
@@theoghamgrove7169 Ah okay. Go raibh míle maith agat for clarifying that point. I'm new to your channel so I was confused about the whole tree calendar thing.
for me i read the story as a cycle; from earth as a hare to sea as a fish, to sky as a bird, to earth again as a grain. but as the grain he is the potential; everything within it awaiting to become. it mirrors inner transformation and 'magick' as it pertains to such inner transformations.
I just ordered your book Gwynn: God of Anwynn yesterday for reading on holiday. I tried to find it in Glastonbury when I was there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't find it. Looking forward to delving in.
An aspect of Christian Mary was once described, as the powerful, dark goddess of sin and destruction; a comparison was made with Goddess Skotia... this is all incorrect, they are thinking of the goddess Tabiti, called Bhadra Kali in India. Bhadra means the same as Bhairaviih, fearful or terrible- however, Tabiti is not the same as Tripuraah Bhairaviih, also explained as a form of Kali. Tripurah Bhairaviih, who has a name in Cymric also, is more a teacher of profound peaceable principles like Impermanence or Transitoriness; can be attributed with Samhain, true; she is called Tyrnon in Celtic... The goddess Marah was removed, along with Christ, really before 500 A.D.... parallel gods, nordic, are Necewef and Viraj, still here but not for any Christianity, removed religion....
Interesting presentation, but Bacchos is also Greek and another Greek name for Dionysos - as Livy said, Bacchos was introduced to Rome by Greeks, and was always a foreign God. His Roman equivalent was Liber, who was the native Roman God. Bacchos was never officially a part of the Roman pantheon, but worshipped in a foreign mystery cult at times outlawed in Rome, but also popular throughout the Roman Empire.
I enjoyed this video and appreciate the idea of bringing action to the cauldrons through Qigong. Can anyone share what the speaker's book is that he was referring to in the presentation?
The Egyptian picture is unusual in that the solar goddess is facing forward and holding a snake (!!!!) and a spear.... I love your videos. We have a lot of clouds in the evening sky here in Hawaii, but I love looking out my window at night. At 3-5 am they clear up and it is a great time to see constellations in the northeastern sky. The LL in Welsh can sound like a ʼsh ʼ at times but you put your tongue in L position and hiss air around the sides of your mouth. Sounds a bit like a hissy sh.
I am a very recent subscriber and I don't know when I've resonated with and enjoyed a channel so much. Absolutely stellar work and you make it so very interesting. In fact, I just now ordered your most recent book from Amazon. I''m lucky that I live in an area (central Ky.) that still has groves of very old trees. An earth-shaking, life altering decision: whether to work my way through your videos by year or to follow one tree at a time through all three years. After some experimentation, I'm following a tree at a time. And finally, in a mythology book, I came across an Aztec year wheel. The description said they had two - one 365 day wheel for agriculture, and one of 260 days divided into TWENTY equal periods for 20 deities. You can't make this up!
Just came across a post that called Tuesday Weld a May Queen. And one who turns everything to Gold. By Angel Sparks 9/19/2012 Face Book, "Hollywood Witches Part 2."
@@theoghamgrove7169 Both owl symblolism. Recently, on another cite made aware that Andrgyny is associated w/ Innana. I do not believe that there is much out there on Lilith - seem to be popular these days. First consort of Adam I believe - I believe that she is associated w/ night flight and that of being a predator. Both strong women figures. Sitchin has more on Innana = It has been a while. What might be noteworthy w/ respect to & I think that is Innana the Large Owl at Bohemian Grove. Thank You for your work - better understand the Leo goddess relationship the trinity there and the cusp. And a little more on the mysteries. -Love the star lore - Progressing here slowly.
Nicholas de Vere in his The Dragon Lagacy sez that Lilith actually exiisted and that Kali is her daughter. And he provides a geneology -Not sure if you can pull it up here. And yes according to Sitchin at least Innana existed as well. I believe that she was a consort of both Enki & Enlil. But it has been awhile. Need to dust, if not recolate, the book. Are you familiar w/ this book? Small but very interesting chapter on Tolkien and more.
I understand that Lilith is associated w/ an owl or that she may shape-shift into such. But I do not understand the half bird/half woman in the frieze whom i understand to be Innana. And this frieze is much cited I believe ,but know of no corresponding writing explaining such or reafirmimg such.
The broom talk reminded me of making Welsh broom dolls with my Nan, They were a good luck token used to welcome a good harvest, and they related directly to blodeuwedd,
I've recently been contacted by Elen. I had never heard of her, I was just contacted by a woman with antlers. I've been contacted by her multiple times since. I've been trying to find out as much information as I can which is why I watched your video. When you got to the information about the reservoir, my mouth was literally agape. She showed me that reservoir. In my mediation we were standing on one of the hillsides facing it and in my mind I said that looks similar to the Ashokan reservoir (where I grew up). Only for you to show me the photos in this video of where she took me. Could have knocked me over with a feather.
This is such a fascinating video and your teachings of the connection of our stories to the constellations is so illuminating. I am going to put hydra, crater and corvid, etc on my ceiling to look at when I go to sleep. The 3 JIAOS, triple heater, or cauldrons definitely connect to heat or fire in the body. However the meaning of Qi in Chinese is AIR. Qi is an invisible energy, not exactly or only fire. There is Qi of all the 5 elements. But in acupuncture school we were told that the 5 elements really means phases or movements of energy not solid substances.
Very interesting. Thank you. right now I am trying to figure out what native Hawaiian plant would substitute for ivy. I love the trees and star lore of the British isles, but live amongst native Hawaiian trees. So I will honor both.
Love those gnostic heretics for keeping the gnosticism alive! And love that the abbot got fired from Glastonbury and went to Chichester 😂 not far from me in Worthing.
And obviously I love Mary Magdalene. For Litha I said that Mary Magdalene was the moon and Jesus was the sun. Thanks for confirming. Some say that Mother Mary is the moon but I disagree. Or maybe they both are.
@roseysoulsco a full moon is often seen as pregnant, and of course the female cycle can synchronise with the moon, but also the moon is a mirror reflecting sunlight so it is reflective consciousness. Sun and Moon are also the luminaries of day and night - the conscious and dreaming minds. There are so many ways of evaluating things, and the 22nd July, feast day of Mary Magdalene, holds both the Moon and Sun in balance. One must make of it what one must, what feels right to you is right for you :)
I'm working with a sacred landscape called Cissbury Ring in Sussex and we held a circle there on Saturday! And yes so many layers there from Bronze, Iron and Roman right through to the second world war actually! The energy was divine and we were all so immersed in it. Going to listen now as only a few mins in 😂
My paternal ancestor [multi-generation great-great grandfather] Johannes Hartlieb [1450s] was involved in the study of, and wrote books on, medicinal herbs, 'Book of Herbs' , witchcraft, and the dark arts. He served in the court of Duke Albrecht III, later taking up the role of personal physician to Duke Sigmund of Bavaria-Munich. His interest in the occult sciences extended into a book on the art of enhanced recollection; a treatise on lunar divination; an inquiry into the power of names; an eyewitness account of the burning of sorceress Finnicella, and his "Book of All Forbidden Arts" .. My later great great grandfather, Samuel Hartlieb [1650s], did very much the same thing in Poland and, later, England, working with Francis Bacon, Samuel Pepys, Robert Boyle, and John Milton. A later ancestor uncle of mine married into the English Royal Family [ his name appears on the "royal list" ], and the British Town of Hartlip, Swale, Kent is named after my family, who used to run the Rose & Crown, which is connected be a secret tunnel .. My paternal grandfather's mother was a Welshwoman, and my mother is 100% Celtic, descending from Irish Great Kings, and Scottish, Pictish, Dal Riatan and Welsh Royal ancestors dating back to more than 4,000 years ago, through Robert the Bruce, King David the First, Oengus of Pictland, the High Kings of Ireland, and Scotia .. I have been a Druid since the age of 12 [46 years], trained in the ancient, pre-christian Druidic Arts and Sciences.You have gained great wisdom. Learn the wisdom of the trees - that our god is not 'jesus' - we have never bent our knee to him - he has no truth, but is a fraud created to deceive .. our God is the Wisdom of the Dagdha, Lugh, the Tuatha de Dannan, the Green Man, Cernnunos .. the truth is the Nature, not in a man-made Roman Religion .. the christians [ rapists, thieves and pedophiles for 2,000 years ] have tried to bury the annual cycle of Nature under their fake, fraudulant "holy days" - which they stole from us Druids & Celts .. but the Green Man of Nature has finally returned with chaos to put life back into balance .. the "age of christ" is over .. his lies have been exposed .. Beltane, Sahmhain, Lughnasadh, Imbolc, and the GODDESS [ not a "catholic saint" ] Brigid returns ..
I just found your channel today, what Lovely work for a deck of the Ogham!!!! For the next few weeks I will be watching your videos!!!!!! HELLO AND BLESSINGS FROM ACROSS THE POND!!!!! - United States.
It just occurred to be.... What about Branwen, White Ravenʼs, connection to the moon. She is quiet and her life was full of sorrow. She has that reflective quality with the men in the story, though not normally thought of as a Moon Goddess. Branwen also dies of sorrow but her presence remains in the heart. I think of her when i go out in the garden at dusk and see the moon...Thank you for a wonderfully interesting video. With reference to the Robert Bly conversation at the end of the video, Mantak Chia in his Astral healing book I shared on FB, says you must build the lower Dantien (cauldron) and GROUND yourself before being able to meditate with the star energies.
I find Robert Graves statement about prophecy in this book interesting - That prophecy comes by way of a conscious and focused mind - and not by way of a trance state.
" The Golden Bough" - Years ago, and I do not think I researched it then & could not google it now, but found a statement that said this was a favorite book of H. Goering - Still trying to wrap my mind around this idea.
@@theoghamgrove7169 My understanding of King Arthur in the popular realm is that much of it does not have an historical basis as it is understood - The writings of Ralph Ellis . Just as you have shown that there is not an historical basis in myth/folk lore for the English Tri-fold goddess. It is very notable to me that such important concepts are such odds w/ history
@charleshester4582 in Welsh mythic lore, Arthur had three queens and each was called Gwenhwyfar. But yes, Arthur is mythic rather than historic. There is archaeology of three female figures, but they have no name, inscription.
This excerpt is from Amazon's description of the newest version: [this]new edition of the Old Celtic Dictionary provides a one of a kind exploration of the Celtic language. Vincent F. Pintado spent over thirty years researching and compiling over 9,000 primitive and ancient Celtic words and brings them together in one concise volume for the first time. The Old Celtic Dictionary introduces readers to a language stretching back nearly two thousand years. Focusing on everything before 400 A.D., Pintado breaks down the primitive letters and has the most comprehensive word list ever put together. Perfect for academics and serious hobbyists, this is a worthy addition to any collection. Complete with detailed ties to Gaelic, Galician, and Welsh languages, there has never been a more thorough study of Old Celtic.
My Old Celtic Dictionary is copyright 2007. It is my understanding that the words in the dictionary are classified as Primitive or Ancient Celtic (prior to approximately 400 A.D.)
@laurysinecayr2598 I suspect 'Druantia' is from The White Goddess. 1948 - we would need a source of evidence that predates 1948. 2007 is not it. I don't mean to be deliberately antagonistic, just trying to be clear about facts.
Does Arianrhod have a relationship to the Norse Norns - I have seen these as spinners of fate which I do relate to a Silver Wheel - there significance to trees by way of the Yggdrasil tree - and on at least one occasion have seen their representation incorporating the Sheila na gig. My understanding is that they are 3 separate goddesses Nothing specific here as a Triple Moon Goddess - but it certainly rhymes. As I believe Manly Hall tells us, Wisdom sometimes is not seeing something but seeing through something.
It is a bit tenuous but, the Welsh corresponded Arianrhod to the constellation of Corona Borealis - which the Greeks equated with Ariadne - who helped Theseus through the Labyrinth with a thread - so like the Norns weaving the threads of fate. But I cannot think of Arianrhod having any thread or Web of wyrd type symbolism, nor being threefold.
