The Irish Origins of Civilization

From
The Rod of Mercury
by Brinkley H. Stein
(1953)

The opinion of Aristotle, that philosophy came to the Greeks from the Gauls and not from the Greeks to the Gauls is very striking
- Godfrey Higgins (Celtic Druids)



Hyperboreans
...there is an island in the ocean over against Gaul, (as big as Sicily) under the arctic pole, where the Hyperboreans inhabit; so called, because they lie beyond the breezes of the north wind. That the soil here is very rich, and very fruitful; and the climate temperate, insomuch as there are two crops in the year. They say that Latona was born here, and therefore, that they worship Apollo above all other gods; and because they are daily singing songs in praise of this god, and ascribing to him the highest honours, they say that these inhabitants demean themselves, as if they were Apollo's priests, who has there a stately grove and renowned temple, of a round form, beautified with many rich gifts. That there is a city likewise consecrated to this god, whose citizens are most of them harpers, who, playing on the harp, chant sacred hymns to Apollo in the temple, setting forth his glorious acts - Diodorus Siculus (Greek Historian)

  • Apollo here refers to the sun and sun god, known in Ireland more comnonly as Lugh, the equivalent (and probable antetype) of Apollo, Helios, Horus, Mithras, Saul, Solomon, Jesus, etc - Mtsar

Diodorus Siculus states "the Hyperborean island  was governed by a family called Boreades...and Vallency says "The magistrates of Ireland were often called Boreadhas."

  • This name can also be rendered Boreadach, Borad, Boras, Boreas, Bors, Bardi, Bardo, etc. The term Bard may also connote the rulers of the North-West. Consider the legal phrase "Being called to the Bar." Does this connote the prehistoric judges and wise ones?

Ace, An, On
...in French the circlet was the Anneau as in our word Annual. Anna, the girl's name, means grace or graceful, and An was the name of the Irish historical church.

The Celtic word for Ass (Ace) is Ane, and the symbol for the church was the Ass.

  • An was the same as the Egyptian On, center of the Temple of the sun at Heliopolis. The etymology confirms the Egypt-Ireland connection. The Ace in a pack of cards represents the headgear of the priest and the church. The syllable An also refers to the heavens and heavenly goddess. See also Ankh - Mtsar

...it may be concluded that the religion of An was very old, it may have originated in Ireland, it is connected to Christianity...correlating An with Mary, for both were goddesses of the sea, or of seagoing mariners, An may have been the goddess of prehistoric mariners who established gardens in all parts of the world.

  • The garden or enclosure was the sacred precinct of the goddess, recalling the lost Arctic Homeland or Hyperborea. Note that ship prows commonly feature the head of a female. The coming of the fair red-haired female to eastern lands was a noted event commemorated by easterners for centuries.

The Cross
Higgins states in his Celtic Druids, "The form of the great temple at Loch Bernera (on the Isle of Lewis), chief Isle of the Hebrides (Scotland) is that of a cross...its form nearly that of a Roman cross or crucifix."

Pillars
In Galatians 2-9 "And when James, Cephas, and John who seemed to be pillars." This and many similar passages can only be interpreted as instances of Druid religion...today, a pillar of the church is the same as an ancient Druid

  • These too represent the priests, originally the Druids. Masons make considerable use of three pillars in their lodge designs and tracing boards. Again, the origin is Aryan, with pillars representing the trunks of sacred trees. Each of the three represent a degree of initiation from lowest to highest, that of Arch Druid. Stately buildings, churches and colleges feature pillars, as can be found in St. Peter's Square, Rome, and in most royal residences. Remember, royals are always crowned by priests. One is born and baptized with the priest's blessing (Here for more on tree symbolism) - Mtsar

The Beehive
England was termed the "Bee Country" in myth.

Western Origin of Hermes
Funk and Wagnalls' Standard Dictionary describes Hermod as the son of Odin and a messenger of the gods...Hermod and Hermes are the same.

Delanach (Druid Fire/Weaponry)
Smith's History of the Druids, reads "Among the Arcana of nature which our Druids were acquainted with, there are many presumptive, if not positive proofs for placing the art of making gunpowder, or artificial thunder and lightning; though like other mysteries they kept it secret.

  • This was central to the writings of the great Comyns Beaumont, who had much to say on the sonic weaponry of antiquity, and other weapons covertly mentioned in the Old Testament and other ancient texts. He mentions the walls of the city of Jericho, the staves (wands) of Moses and Aaron, and the actual purpose of royal scepters and priestly staffs. He also emphasizes that the metalwork and extraction of requisite ores for the manufacture of weapons originated in the British Isles. According to Beaumont, the caduceus of Hermes or Mercury, was one of these weapons as well as a working symbol of the secret art involved in their manufacture. According to Beaumont, the symbol of the Fasces directly denotes ancient weaponry, the bundle of rods doubling as a symbol for the unity of the priests who utilized the fearsome weapons produced under their tutelage. Consider also the Tarot's Ace of Wands and Ace of Clubs (Batons).

American Fasces
This symbol appears on the United States dime....the Latin translation of axe is Securis. The axe symbolized the security of the State of Rome.

The Axe
The sacred Axe was the universal symbol, and illustrates the underlying unity of the Priesthood.


Picture

The word Axe was eventually shortened to the familiar letter X, found on innumerable friezes, emblems and products. Flags also represent the blade of the priestly Axe. Astro-theologically, the axe symbol may derive from the orbit of the planet Venus (originally a fierce destructive comet) which once "crossed" the orbital path of the Earth. Many calendars were based on the orbit of Venus, the Morning Star. Since Venus was "the Horned One," and known as "Lucifer," both the axe and cross double as symbols of Lucifer. This holds for the British flag, known deceptively as St. George's Cross. This may also be the reason why physical crossroad points were considered spiritually malefic and hazardous. (Here for more...)

Why should the beautiful Morning Star, called Lucifer, the Light Bearer, live in the imagination of peoples as an evil power, a fallen star? - Immanuel Velikovsky

When in advance and rising before dawn it (Venus) receives the name of Lucifer, as being another Sun and bringing the dawn, whereas when it shines after sunset, it is named Vesper as prolonging the daylight, or as deputy for the Moon - Pliny (Natural History)



Celt
The Celts termed their Axe "the Celt" or "Kelt."

Moses' Brazen Standard

In the Book of Numbers we read:

Then the Lord said to Moses, "Make a snake and mount it on a pole. When anyone who is bitten looks at it, he will live." (Numbers 21:8)

Does this refer to a powerful weapon which was put on display for the weary, fearful people, by the priests, to ensure their continuing favor and confidence, showing that their enemies will be defeated? Do those "bitten" by doubt and fear have their morale restored?

Contantine's New Druidism
In Constantine's time the sacred groves of the Druids were cut down, Druid priesrs were slaughtered in numbers on the island of Mona.
