A Druid's Definition of Death

Dean's Garden Cemetery Edinburgh Scotland

Death: 

The point where the Mortal-Coil unwinds and the Soul-Coil rewinds.

Remember Always.

Life before Life, Life after Life.

Death only Hurts the Living.

A small Crain's Bag to help on the Hard Road.

R: Major Arts Studied by the Tuatha Dé Danann from Cath Maige Tuired (CMT):

By  Druii - Searles O'Dubhain

Even the gods studied to be Druids

Major Arts Studied by the Tuatha Dé Danann from Cath Maige Tuired (CMT):

Foglaim feasa – occult lore
Fithasachta – sorcery
Druidechtai – druidic arts
Amaidechtai – witchcraft
Amainsechtai – magical skill
Cerd ngenntlichtae – pagan arts

Major Arts Studied by the Tuatha Dé Danann from Lebor Gabála (LGE, Section VII):

Druidechta – Druidry
Fessa – knowledge
Fástini - prophecy
Amainsechtai – magic
Cerdaib Suithe Gentliuchta – arts of pagan cunning

These arts and skills are grouped as the major categories of Druidecht (druidry) and Diabal-dan (demonic arts) in poem LXII of Lebor Gabála. Keating calls these wizardry, Druid rites and Devilcraft in his History of Ireland.

The four teachers of the Tuatha Dé Danann are Morfesa, Esras, Uiscias and Semias. They are called wizards (druids) and poets (filid) in the text and are said to teach occult lore (fios) and secret knowledge (éolas). In Lebor Gabála (poem LXII) they are called Sages (sair-leasa) and Poets (filid).

There is much to learn from the little that has been presented here. I hope that those who are reading this discover that which is hidden within each person so that it can change the world.

The Three Sides of a Druid's Question.

It is well accepted that the Druids and Celts were all
for framing everything it sets of three.
So when a Druid ask a question, it should not be a surprise
 that they seek three different answers.


Side One:
The Common, Practical, Physical, Physiological, and Sociological side, the realm of the Brehon.  Where the answers may be weighted and tallied.  Yet it may also have a Religious aspect and or other Occultations.

Side Two:
The Philosophical side, realms of the Bard, Mind, and Awen. Yet it may also have a Religious aspect and or other Occultations.

Side Three:
The Metaphysical side, realms of the Vatis or Ovate, Seer, Psychic and Prophet.
 Here Summerlands, the Astral, Conjure and Draíocht, twist and bend the Natural Laws like Mist twisting in the Sunshine.
Yet it may also have a Religious aspect and or other Occultations.


Our Discussion Lexicon.


Biological:
Relating to biology or living organisms.

Conjure:
Call upon (a spirit or ghost) to appear, by means of a magic ritual.
Implore or without physical efforts force, someone to do something.

Draíocht:
One of the three primary arts, the word is used to refer to what we would now call "magick" (in both the simple and the ritual sense). It means "the use of powers to effect ends." Spell-casting, the use of evocations and invocations, the practice of chanting, circle dancing (intended to bring about a particular end) and other arts are all considered disciplines of draíocht.

Metaphysical:
Transcending physical matter or the laws of nature.
Synonyms: transcendental, spiritual, supernatural, paranormal

Occultation:
The state of being hidden from view or lost to notice.

Philosophical:
Relating or devoted to the study of the fundamental nature of knowledge, reality, and existence.

Physical:
Having material existence: perceptible especially through the senses and subject to the laws of nature.

Physiological:
Relating to the branch of biology that deals with the normal functions of living organisms and their parts.

Religious:
Relating to or manifesting faithful devotion to an acknowledged ultimate set of realities or deities.
A religious person religious attitudes or religious beliefs or observances of a chosen religious order.

Sociological:
Concerning the development, structure, and functioning of human society.

Conjure: "The Witches Flower" Horsenettle (Solanum carolinense)

From my yard.

I keep a small supply for various Conjure usages. Certain people (myself included)  are not allergic to its touch or scratches from its very sharp thorns and as all parts are Poisonous to Humans, I have Renamed it "The Witches Flower" And Like Witchcraft it is very hard to uproot and goes deep underground to survive.

>>Horsenettle (Solanum carolinense), a poisonous member of the nightshade family, is one of the most difficult weeds to eradicate since it resists most attempts at control. Tilling the soil only makes it worse because it brings seeds to the surface where they can germinate. Flame weeding doesn’t kill the weed either because the penetrating roots reach depths of 10 feet or more, where they survive after the tops are burned away.

Toxicity:

All parts of the plant, including its tomato-like fruit, are poisonous to varying degrees due to the presence of solanine glycoalkaloids which is a toxic alkaloid and one of the plant's natural defenses. While ingesting any part of the plant can cause fever, headache, scratchy throat, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, ingesting the fruit can cause abdominal pain, circulatory and respiratory depression, or even death.

The Three Levels of the Mind.

My own Model of the Brain/Mind Levels of Consciousness is a Three Level. Excluding the " limbic or Reptile" brain.

Conscious, Subconscious and Superconscious being an Ultra Wide Band Reciever/Transmitter that tunes across Space, Time, and the Dimensions, including Spirit, Summerlands or Astral Plains or Death/Birth Barriers. For most nonconsciously psychic humans there is little to no awareness of the Superconscious Mind and if there were it would completely overload them. Like being in the presence of an ultra bright and ultra loud wideband random noise source. So through Dreams, Intuition, Awen, Gut Feeling, etc. The Subconscious mind feeds data and desires back and forth via these difficult channels and highly filtered by our Consciousmind's belief systems.
While the good psychic can often get a much clearer channel to what is often called the Akashic Records or Astral Realms. TDK

The Gods and Lwa walk among us,

5-27-2017

as they did in days of Yore.

Riding the bodies of the Poor, Homeless, Hurt and Destitute.

Also in animals form of foot, tail, and wing. Often ragged, tired, hungry or in other need of help and shelter.

Have you shared a smile, kind word, a cup of water and crust of bread with them?

Have we lost our manners and customs of our Yore Tribes and selves as we have born-again today?
