Namaste Angelique, et al,
Perhaps you are right, however it is just a 'National
Day', to celebrate culture have a good time etc,
relax.
I hold no candle for the Church,but I don't hate it
either, it was well beaten out of me at The Irish
Christian Brother's School and elsewhere. However it
is a crutch, for many, and to a one-legged person a
crutch is very useful.
The esoteric teachings of Christianity are as valid
as any other. Also some of the exoteric as well! It is
all in the mind of the beholder. St John of the Cross,
and Teresa of Avila came out of it after
all!!!Jivanmuktas by the sound of it. Then we have
Theresa Neuman, is it?, living on just prana!!
St Patrick or Magonis, did not introduce Christianity
to Ireland anyway, he came a few hundred years
afterwards, and there is much myth about him.
It is interesting that in 500-550 A.D. when Colum
Cille was building a church, one of the monks wanted
to be sacrificed in the Druidic fashion under the
'corner stone'. Indicating that many Druids remained
in the Celtic Church until it was realigned with Rome
at either the Council of Trent or the Synod of Whitby,
I will have to look it up.
St Brigid herself, not the Goddess, was both a nun and
a Druidess, as is indicated by Brigid's Cross,(the
Goddesses Cross), which in fact is a swastika. She
gave this to her father as he was dying to remind of
the eternal wheel of rebirth.
This cross is now the flag of St Patrick and is part
of the British 'Union Jack', you can tell by the
thinner red cross being out of alignment.
Druidism survived perhaps until today in Ireland. It
is interesting that one of the Goddesses is named
Calaigh, pronounded Kali, and looks similar to the
Hindu version. She was recognised by villagers until
comparatively recently.
Om Namah Sivaya, Tony.
