Merovingian/Secret Society Rituals: One of my fellow researchers on a site I have been involved with for a few years knows a lot more about genetics than I do. He says healthy genes have polarity that is harmonically tuned and this fits with many things I have read in mystical treatises. Sir Laurence Gardner’s Genesis of Grail Kings has a sub-title suggesting they even knew how to clone people a very long time ago. I have addressed Gardner’s work in great detail and I have pointed out many disturbing and questionable things. The Druids or Shining Ones and Heliopolitans are origin of Gardner’s Rosicrucianity and I assure you they could affect elements and thus make genetic changes. I must give reader a little of debate before this kind of thing can be even remotely accepted as a possibility, I know.
Having no likelihood of concern for people not gaining insight to things some call dangerous, and being stubborn enough not to cater to ignorance, I am including much of these things in my writings. The next quote is from Encyclopedia of Occultism and Parapsychology, 2nd. Edition by Leslie Shepard (pg. 215): It is of interest that Rhys mentions an Iberian origin that would relate to Basque who are also linguistically connected to Mayan, Vietnamese and Denhe of Northwestern America. One of Kennewick Man scholars thinks he may be Ainu (of Japanese white-skinned people) and I see possibility of a Mu/Atlantis group who went to Japan and Jomon pottery therefrom is in Ecuador. I think Basque fit type of people who would be Druidic trained and fiercely independent with a possible original input to Druidism.
"Celts
According to Lewis Spence, magic among Celtic peoples in ancient times was so closely identified with Druidism that its origin may be said to have been Druidic. That Druidism was of Celtic origin, however, is a question upon which much discussion has been lavished, some authorities, among them Sir John Rhys, believing it to have been non-Celtic and even non-Aryan origin. This is to say that earliest non-Aryan or so- called Iberian or Megalithic people of Britain introduced immigrant Celts to Druidic religion. An argument in favour of this theory is that continental Celts sent their neophyte Druid priests to Britain to undergo a special training at hands of Druids there, {He isn't being specific about dates and if he were talking pre-Ice Age he might be right. If he is talking about early Roman times Caesar's journals make it clear there were many Druidic schools in Gaul. If he were talking about after fall of Rome he would be talking about Ireland or Scotland where Druids recaptured territory from England. Since he said Britain it seems likely he is talking about a time when Tartessus in Spain was flourishing and Celts were re-joining their Phoenician brothers there. The Tarshis boats of Biblical record that could travel oceans are a most important part of history. The Veneti who we saw in Gaul fighting Caesar were related to people of Venice who came from Hallstatt across Alps in 2,000 A.D. I do not think these people were without Druids because they had them in Genoa in 2000 BC; but if that were case then Basque might be original Druids and Mu might be original cultural developer of all languages. I try to keep an open mind, to alternatives, but there are too many facts that point me another direction.} and there is little doubt that this island was regarded as headquarters of Cult {There is much doubt unless he is incorporating Eire as part of Britain, which would be a time when Emerald Isles were without any Brutus offspring or name Britain.}. The people of Cisalpine Gaul, for instance, had no Druidic priesthood. (See T. Rice Holmes, 'Caesar's Conquest of Gaul', 1899). Caesar stated that in Gaul, Druidic seminaries were very numerous, and that severe study and discipline were entailed upon neophytes, principle business of whom was to commit to memory countless verses enshrining Druidic knowledge and tradition. There is some evidence that this instruction was astrological and magical.”
But Druids were in Cisalpine Gaul, in Genoa with Legurians. Here it becomes clear we are dealing with extremely poor scholarship on matter of Druidism: when he says 'women and poetic craft'. He does not know that women were a vital and equal part of Druidic order and Dryads may have been first priestesses according to many. The poets or bards (Bairds) were a stage in this training and in secular matters equal of Druids. There were perhaps more than three divisions of order at early times but there were always bards in Druidic order. The Sibylls and oracles of classical civilizations to whom we owe all war and misogyny to, were also Druidic trained and motivated. This is well documented in many other places. Perhaps person he is quoting is at fault because Rhys even clarifies importance of women later in this description.
"The Druids were magi as they were hierophants in same sense that; American-Indian medicine-man was both magus and priest. That is, they were medicine men on a higher scale, and possessed a larger share of transcendental knowledge than shamans of more barbarous races. Thus they may be said to be a link between shaman and magus of medieval times."
I am sorry to have to butt in again but medieval times were most barbarous and disgusting times; I wonder if this author ever heard of Dark Ages? They are called that because they spread darkness over mind and soul of all people. They destroyed knowledge and technology with Church and feudal lackeys seeking ever more power. Sure, some of them pranced around in lace and padded powders on their faces. Some even had occasional bath, every month after they went out and raped a few new brides among their serfs. The idea of medieval times and all gallant knights is pure unadulterated fiction and they spread Grail legends as a major part of their propaganda. We will deal with this more later but it truly speaks volumes when one reads this kind of accepted and apparently acceptable 'conventional' thinking (?).
