Philosopher's cult. Albios, Bitu and Anderos united in the same ring. Albios, Bitu and Anderos united in the same ring. In Druidism, philosophy and religion go hand in hand. I tried to give as best as possible what I could learn from the Gallic cult, and I believe that we are very close to what was. Some live it as a philosopher's religion and others as a religious philosophy according to their more or less luminous or obscurantist inclinations. The obscurantists have penchant for Donnotarvos and the luminous ones for Lug. In Druidism the light is a word designating the time which moves, the darkness is the term designating a stopping time in the luminous world (which does not mean a time without stories). In any case, these two sides are inseparable. All the ceremonies take place at night in a clearing for female cults and during the day near a master tree (centenary) for male cults. Druids participate in both types. Each ceremony takes up three full days. Druidic baptism. Druidic baptism is given by the one who is the most educated in the way of thinking and the teachings of Druidism, this can be the druid, one of the ovates or the bard if he is the only one present at the time of baptism. The one who receives baptism receives at this moment of his life his new name, inscribed on his heart (the center of the person), it is an engraved white stone that he receives from the officiant who chooses him and gives him his name. The name that is assigned is inscribed inside the stone which is the metaphorical image of a seed. When the person is baptized, he receives water, the seed will germinate thanks to this water and a plant will spread that will represent the paths of the spirit of the initiate, because it is indeed an initiatory passage. towards adult life. So it should be understood that the name given to the person is revealed only with the appearance of the plant and its growth, in other words, with the course of its life. The Gauls carried in addition to their secret name, a common nickname. From what I understood they had a name for their spirit, the spirit belongs to the divine, and a name for their physical integrity which is the responsibility of the human. It is the entry on the paths of the world tree, kernunos, and must have deep knowledge of its culture before baptism. This is brought to him by a knowledge of the legendary stories of his tribe. The Moon was represented in the form of a hippocampus-mare nourishing the celestial seas. The light of the moon (its milk) nourishes the inner world. Dark side of the spiritual world.

We know that the ceremonies took place under the canopy of trees, near a stony and even monolithic place, from which a spring flowed. The symbolism of the waters of life is very present. "Beliassu Sète" is an expression designating marriage. This means "the strongest attraction", the beauty of the gesture and its durability. You can translate it by "the beautiful way", or more simply by "the love". The texts they have left us leave no doubt about the praise and elevation of sentiment to the highest rank. Their love was set in stone, it was a way to make it everlasting. Here are a few. "Tingi beliasusetere garise iexstumisendi" In your way, the strongest attraction, my queen, call me husband. * it must be understood that women are the sacred path of life for all Gallic people. "Ilobilebeliasusete re ga iexstumisendi" You the strongest attraction, it will come, call me husband. Two deities are invoked during the marriage, it is Papisonos, the father of dreams who is none other than Kernunos because it is he who governs the roads of the spirit, and the other is Bélim'na, too called Belisama, "the greatest beauty". "Adiantunne neither exverted nor naoisetu" Very desired, do not leave us no matter what. This sentence clearly shows that the woman is free of her choice and that the man asks her to always stay. The deepest ringworm respect within marriage and it is demonstrated. * "Geneta imi, data vimpi" I am a good and beautiful girl. It is one of the sentences pronounced at the time of the marriage, it relates to a good descent but especially to a good health of the spouses. * "Calia ueïobiu sauni tioberte mouno" I will marry Cala daughter of Saunos who carried Mogunos. So the mother of an already born child can marry after having given birth to the father of the child. Love before marriage is not forbidden. * "Nata uimpi,curmi da " Beautiful girl, give beer. Interpretable by: pretty girl intoxicates me. Our Gauls are very interested in the beauty of women, who must undoubtedly do so by charming them. Gaulois did not deny it, they were great lovers of women. The cult of life after death. Among the Gauls, there is a life before birth and a life after death, terrestrial existence is only a passage, a story. Metempsychosis is the belief in the resurrection of soul and spirit into another, new body. Again, we must remember that the soul is the sum, the grouping of characters that form a direct way of reaction to a situation. It is the sum of the characters which form the basis of a primary, sentimental capacity for reaction. While the mind is the sum of all the reflections due to learning, memories or a complicated exchange and not primary. The spirit and the soul merge in a particular entity for each person and the spirit occupies a preponderant place there, divinified. So each has a personal story that stems from the word of the god of time, Kernunos. So why would Kernunos stop speaking since the word of time cannot stop, cannot stand still? Our Gauls believed that life was a fire that was fueled by time, or rather a stream of water of life (this is the Alpha and the Omega) which moved in one direction or another, tracing destiny of each one. Like the branches of a tree, crisscrossing and bringing together and leaving each other such or such existence. It is a reference to the sacred serpent which is the vital metaphor of the shifting path of existence winding through the temporal tree of creation. All the religions and philosophies of the world have created a dogma relating to another elsewhere after death. Whether we call it, wallala, paradise or even hell, this idea is universal. The particularism of the Druids is in fact built on its universality. Because on the infinite paths of creation, everything else is possible. And even that these other stories, these other worlds, can recreate the history of the world known to each individual. Resurrection, where rather the mingling of two past stories that went their separate ways because of death, can occur. Induced by the druid or "accidentally". Omnipotent Druids can rule the roads of time and make them intersect. Consideration that deserves a great deal of philosophical reflection to be accepted. Most of the time, these paths are compared to underground galleries into which another reality emerges. This other reality, road, is embodied in the paths known outside the middle world, either in the roots of the sacred tree, which lead to worlds unknown because they are hidden, or in the branches of the sacred tree, which lead to the sky, and in particular to the stars for those who now exist in the immortality of spirits, they are considered to be part of the luminous. So all those who have accessed the sky, have turned into a star and we can see them in the night sky. From what I was able to come out of this Gallic philosophy, these have now acquired the power to create their time, there are new Kernunos, new times, new suns ....... with different worlds of which they themselves henceforth create the particular history common to each of their creations. These people who died and reached the top of the human spirit, much more in fact, have become the omnipotent god of their own creation, in the images of the kings and queens of the sky, the eternal stars that can be seen as their own. personality when the sky is clear enough. They have acquired the status of the elect, luminous who sings the song of creation. The one where the one who made his ascension. The winged helmet of the Gauls belongs to the elected members in the process of ascension, those who remained on earth have "the flying spirit", like angels kings or queens who will one day fly to the heavens. In any case, Druidism mentions parallel worlds. These words will appear obscure to some and bright to others. It should be understood that in each of us there is a tree of creation, the basis of which is located with the 7 philosophical churches. What becomes of the being after what we consider to be death ...... belongs only to those who have taken this path. The tree of time Kernunos is the great omnipotent god. We are therefore his creations, his children and his fruits. Fruits which when detached from the tree, will create new trees, new creative times. Death and ascension are seen as rebirth, in a free spirit of creation. This is for those who reach the top of the tree. For those who return to the paths of Aiduos, the world of'at the bottom, we will say that they are reincarnated through new roots but are still part of the tree. It is the rebirth of blood, race and its characters. When I say race, I am referring to the family aspect, not just to a skin color or another particular type of morphism, to a distant geographic cultural group or not, it is a body of the same gender. of genetic characteristics that reproduce the same type of anima. So the soul can be reincarnated into a body that looks like the one the deceased was wearing (like a garment), and the spirit is embodied in a new, eternal star. Those who died before having acquired the brilliant mind, passed into another world, parallel to ours, until they died of old age with a mind completed by knowledge and superior to human, accessing thus in the sky of the stars. These considerations are acceptable for the religious with the rebirth of the soul through the roots and for the philosopher with the perpetuation of the spirit through the fruits. The land in which the roots of the tree are always reborn, is the embodiment of the great dark mother goddess that was called Gaia among the Greeks and that the Gauls called with a name signifying the passage that transmits life, death and rebirth of the soul (Mori et genata) is the central master. In Christendom, she is called Mary. We must be careful that each deity has an earthly incarnation and another divine cosmological. After death it is a passage to the divine. Of course, this image means that the deceased at the end of their life continues to live in the cosmological tree of time and therefore in our common memories with the ideas that he will have bequeathed like a sun which continues to illuminate our thoughts. The spirit grows towards the light. Important thing to remember, the burials were done at the foot of the trees, because the dead of the past are what nourish the memory of the cultural tree. These bodies are like memories which nourish present and future life. This is part of the cult of the noble bull and Esus. This method of burial of people was transmitted to Christians and the first dead Christians were buried at the foot of the columns of the churches which are the stone prefiguration of the trunks of the trees of the forest. Located on the Gergovie plateau in Auvergne, archaeological excavations have excavated a woman's skeleton, her hand had been cut off and was buried inside a tank, a water reserve. In fact, doing this, she was prevented from transmitting her mind and body to the trees. And so she could not be reincarnated in this way. It was the supreme punishment inflicted no doubt on a druidess. By Romans who built their temples there. The vital substance is reincarnated in the tree of the universal spirit. I think that the followers most involved in this universe that is Druidism, had to wear a sign on the forehead, the drawing of a small tree, branches, trunk and roots included. Because finally, this symbol of the spiritual tree is that of the eternal evolution of the spirit. Philosophical thought. "The druid does not explain things, he inspires them in the spirit." The druidic tree is located in three axes each possessing three principles: temporal, physical and spiritual. -the past, the present, the future; -the world above, the one in the middle, and the one below; - the divine world, the human world, and the animal world. Three axes therefore to be retained as a priority: that of time, that of the body and that of the mind. This temple tree is in each of us. Passion and clarity, in all the religions of the world where almost, there is a kingdom of the underworld and a divine kingdom. Druidism is different in that the kingdom below is that of passions, and the kingdom above is that of clarity. With the Druids, all thought belongs to the divine, and all instinctive reaction is animal. I say philosophical thought instead of philosophical thought because Druidism is based on a non-direct way of thinking, like reflection in a mirror .... of temporal water. This is the notion of "philosophality". Philosophy is the art of pushing reflection by taking a wise direction without providing solid certainty, philosophical thought on the other hand is the transcription of the world that surrounds us through a thought which, without being subjugated by our feelings which directs it , explains the good or bad things that exist, without judging them by clear-cut considerations. It takes everything to make a world, and each time a branch of the tree grows in one direction, another grows in the opposite direction. This is what truly balances the world tree. The logarythmix site is essentially made up of (musical?) Notes which I hope will find a particular resonance in each of you. Concept of good andwrong. The notion of good and bad is very random in Druidism, in fact, it is only really revealed with the egotistical or common consideration that one has of a particular subject. It is very difficult to judge what is right or not, for example, a lie or something unspoken can be saving on some occasions and provoke the stigma of other considerations. While a good deed can turn out to be catastrophic or not depending on which point of view we place ourselves. Not easy to judge with certainty depending on what point of view we place ourselves therefore. Philosophical thought is the art of weighing the viable and unsustainable part of everything through the seven primary feelings existing from birth. Through the feelings of each of the seven churches. Only then a clear opinion is formed on a subject for reflection. This is how the balance of the world tree of Kernunos, father of dreams and time (the time of the spirit) is formed. Concept of truth. The notion of truth is never diverted in Gallic Druidism, it is at the same level as that of reality. The slightest active pressure during an action or a revelation is suspected of containing a tempting lie. Even if the speech seems clear. Truth is visible, tangible reality, which does not need to be imposed. Any pressure and force used to impose a reality is not part of the Druidic discourse. What is said is true, we do not do in the tandent or political discourse. Even if a sentence may seem stingy with words, it is better to leave it there than to risk the half-lie. Or else it is better to use the metaphor. It would be easy to confuse this with metaphysical thinking, yet no, Druidic thinking is built around made up truths. The Gauls used a specific word for that, I'll give it to you when I find it in my notes. To understand it well, you have to see it as a game.
