Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'Homme, s'il veut sauver la Terre, doit retrouver le chemin de l'Arbre de Vie pour regagner le centre immobile de son être et y réinvestir sa fonction royale de gardien et de jardinier qui lui avait été assignée par les dieux. Toutes les spiritualités réellement fidèles à la Tradition Primordiale, avec des symboles qui leurs sont propres bien sûr, préconisent ce retour à la Source. Elles possèdent toutes leur omphalos où les Sages doivent se tenir pour veiller sur l'équilibre du Monde. Pour la tradition celtique, c'est Avaricon, capitale des Bituriges, cité des Rois du Monde, aujourd'hui Bourges, qui joue ce rôle. Depuis le roi Ambigat, en passant par Vercingétorix, le duc Jean de Berry, Jacques Coeur, Jean de Cucharmoy, les Frères Lallemant et le maître d'oeuvre inconnu de la cathédrale saint Étienne, des initiés ont su garder intact le message de la Tradition Primordiale que l'on peut lire encore aujourd'hui dans les vestiges de ce qui fut, il y a plus de vingt siècles, le véritable sanctuaire des Druides...
Download or read book Celtic Mythology The Religion of the Ancient Celts written by John Arnott MacCulloch and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2023-11-16 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Celtic Mythology" is a study on ancient folk tales and legends of old Ireland, Wales and other Celtic regions, which remained a precious legacy to their illustrative history. The book deals with different aspects of folklore and mythology: myths of the creation, tales of gods and their position and behavior, the mythical creatures and animals, folk tales of the divine land and many more. Well grounded in history and sociology, the author relates these folk tales, legends and myths of Gaelic, Brythonic and Gaulish people to each other and explores the influence of Christianity on their development through the ages. "The Religion of the Ancient Celts" is an exhaustive and comprehensive study of the Celtic religion. It provides insights into Celtic religious practices, and comparisons geographically as well as with more familiar Roman and Christian pantheons. The author offers numerous interpretations and overlaps regarding the mythological roles of gods and goddesses. The Celts interacted with many cultures over the years and adopted their gods and combined with theirs. Roman and Greek gods were adopted as were Vikings' and Christianity later.

Download or read book The Religion of the Ancient Celts written by John Arnott MacCulloch and published by . This book was released on 1911 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scant records remain of the ancient Celtic religion beyond some eleventh- and twelfth-century written material from the Irish Celts and the great Welsh document Mabinogion. This classic study by a distinguished scholar, builds not only upon the surviving texts but also upon folk customs derived from the rituals of the old cults. A masterly and extremely readable survey, it offers a reconstruction of the essentials of Celtic paganism: fascinating glimpses into primitive forms of worship involving rites centered on rivers and wells, trees and plants, and animals; and examinations of evidence from Celtic burial mounds to explore beliefs and customs related to the culture of the dead, including rites of rebirth and transmigration.
Download or read book La force des Celtes written by Paco Rabanne and published by FeniXX. This book was released on 1996-01-01T00:00:00+01:00 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Étouffée pendant des siècles par les Romains, puis par les chrétiens, la culture celte renaît aujourd’hui de ses cendres, et avec elle le druidisme, qui longtemps fit sourire mais dont on redécouvre le véritable sens un peu partout en Europe. Philip Carr-Gomm, chef-élu de l’Ordre des Bardes, des Ovates et des Druides, livre ici à Paco Rabanne cette vision du monde qui fait partie de notre héritage occidental. Le succès croissant de cette tradition tient sans doute au fait que le druidisme actuel, sans renier les progrès de la science, n’a jamais perdu la notion du sacré dans la Nature. Ce « paganisme moderne », dont les relations avec la chrétienté ne sont pas nécessairement conflictuelles, nous propose de tirer profit d’une harmonie retrouvée avec les arbres, les pierres, les animaux et le rythme des saisons. Une démarche qui n’a rien de végétatif puisque son but est de renouer avec notre créativité. Loin des récupérations folkloriques qu’en ont fait quelques sinistres groupuscules, La Force des Celtes nous transmet les vertus de l’équilibre dans l’univers et parmi les autres, l’intelligence des choses et les lumières de l’inspiration.

SLAVIC MYTHOLOGY CHAPTER I BELIEF IN SOUL AND GENII IN Slavic belief the soul is a being quite distinct from the, body, which it is free to leave even during life, so that there are many stories of human souls coming forth from the bodies of sleeping persons and either dwelling in trees or, in the shape of white birds, fluttering about in the world and finally returning to their normal habitations. It is inadvisable to go to bed thirsty, lest the soul, wearied by its search for water, may weaken the body. If a man faints, his soul leaves his body and uneasily flutters about the world; but when it returns, consciousness is likewise restored. Some individuals have lain like dead for three days, during which time their souls dwelt in the other world and beheld all that might be seen either in heaven or in paradise. A soul which leaves the body when asleep and flies about in the world is called Vjedogonja or Zduh, Zduhacz ("Spirit") by the Serbs; and not only the souls of sleeping persons, but even those of fowls and domestic animals, such as cats, dogs, oxen, etc., may be transformed into Zduhaczs. These genii, regardless of nationality, sex, or age, assemble on mountain-tops, where they battle either singly or in troops, the victors bringing to their countrymen a rich harvest and success in breeding cattle; but if a man's soul perishes in this fight, he will never awake. In Montenegro a distinction is drawn between Zduhaczs of land and sea, the former causing drought, and the latter rain, so that the weather depends on which of these two wins. A sudden storm points to a battle among such Zduhaczs; but in all other respects these genii are considered good and sensible and stand in high repute. The Montenegrins personify the soul as Sjen or Sjenovik ("Shado...

Download or read book Death War and Sacrifice written by Bruce Lincoln and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 1991-08-27 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the world's leading specialists in Indo-European religion and society, Bruce Lincoln expresses in these essays his severe doubts about the existence of a much-hypothesized prototypical Indo-European religion. Written over fifteen years, the essays—six of them previously unpublished—fall into three parts. Part I deals with matters "Indo-European" in a relatively unproblematized way, exploring a set of haunting images that recur in descriptions of the Otherworld from many cultures. While Lincoln later rejects this methodology, these chapters remain the best available source of data for the topics they address. In Part II, Lincoln takes the data for each essay from a single culture area and shifts from the topic of dying to that of killing. Of particular interest are the chapters connecting sacrifice to physiology, a master discourse of antiquity that brought the cosmos, the human body, and human society into an ideologically charged correlation. Part III presents Lincoln's most controversial case against a hypothetical Indo-European protoculture. Reconsidering the work of the prominent Indo-Europeanist Georges Dumézil, Lincoln argues that Dumézil's writings were informed and inflected by covert political concerns characteristic of French fascism. This collection is an invaluable resource for students of myth, ritual, ancient societies, anthropology, and the history of religions. Bruce Lincoln is professor of humanities and religious studies at the University of Minnesota.
