Chapter
10: When Two Druids Appear
One
day I was listening to Oak Creek when two Druids dressed in white robes
appeared in my office. My window was open, and I was used to a fairy being flitting
in like a dragonfly and circling my head. It (elemental being)seemed to check in and go back outside to celebrate the laughter of water as it
cascaded over rocks. Sedona was a
paranormal smorgasbord of unusual entities. One could sample the consciousness without
fully emerging and that felt safe. I was
wary of joining the one Reptilian being I would see at night when Melinda
Leslie was having a support group for abductees. As
Melinda would point out, it is very common for psychics to be abductees. Those experiences seem to run in tandem with
each other. Reptilians are not all alike. They are growing and overcoming darkness as
are many other groups.
The
Druid Visitors:
They
were communicating a great deal about the Center of Light where I rented office
space. It was in a high energy spot and
there was a small island in the creek where they loved to park themselves on
very nice days. The moment I saw them, I
felt calm and centered. One had slightly red hair and one was totally white haired and both had clean shaven angelic faces. They wanted me
to darken the room and that was almost impossible. I would drop into a light trance where we
would then exchange a delightful amount of information.
The Druids were destroyed by the Romans, or
nearly so. Only some legends
remain. The Druids were usually older
men due to the lengthy time in training.
A Druid is a student most of his life and indeed most of the teaching was
oral in transference.
The
oral tradition was a result of the destruction of Atlantis and the lack of
warning for some of the Order of Druid.
Like Noah they were able to climb into high places or be in boats when
these catastrophes occurred. As Edgar Cayce had mentioned, there were more
than one earth changes that sunk Atlantis.
A
Druid used Socratic methods of teaching and nature itself was a drawing
board. “The best way to hide a pebble
is on the beach” They were living a very simple life as ordinary men except on
high holidays. The word Holiday contains
the word Holly. Holy and Holly are similar
in meaning. If they had been too conspicuous,
they would be destroyed and that is what happened.
Most of the Irish Kings were Druids and the
adviser to the King was always the most learned and psychic of the order of the
Druids. Some say that Merlin is a title
and not a name. I believe that as
well. There were many different
personalities that were called Merlin. There
was one Merlin who went into the woods to live as a hermit much like John the Baptist
elected to do.
The
King was chosen for his ability to “see”.
They were “seers” and diviners.
This insight gave them an advantage over the enemy. The best way to navigate life was to not
have an enemy and to settle skirmishes before they got out of hand. For this reason, the Merlin and the King held
court and they were the law of their community.
Those who were to enter the Order of Druid
were invited to do so as a young teenager aged 12 to 13. Sometimes orphans
would be selected but it seems that the linage was considered and the level of
psychic or ESP ability. If parents
brought a son to the Order, that child would be tested. Remember the story of Arthur? Floating stones was a knowledge that was
passed along via oral tradition. To be
able to change the frequency of a large stone and move it was a test. When Arthur drew the sword from the stone, he
absolutely demonstrated the ability to become one with that stone and it became
lighter and malleable at once. Stone
circles were erected in Groves of Oak as places of worship and Solstice
Reminders. The sun would light up the
stone that would indicate Yule Tide or Beltane or Samhain and mid-Summer. Easter was a pagan Holiday and this Goddess
showed up with her rabbit consort early in the morning. Some say she blessed water that was left out.
There were other mid solstice celebrations like Embolic. This would be a huge
essay to try and go through the customs of each Holiday and discuss the purpose
and ritual of each. The stones were
markers for these and there were other types of uses as well.
Ben
McBrady, of the old Gaelic Order, said that the true essence of
Christianity was drawn from those Essenes that traveled and
learned the wisdom of the Oaks or Druids. Jesus also traveled and studied with Druids
from time to time. Each Druid, and also,
Essene was to study from age 12 until age 30.
Then they were ready to teach and travel. All things being learned, some had specialties
as some were builders and some made shoes.
They occupied their day doing manual labor when not reading or
studying. The lessons they taught were
never in writing. The were gifted story
tellers, poets, and musicians. The minstrels were probably a sort of
Druid. They all were entertaining.
So
much has been lost along the way regarding the Druids, but they remain in stories
about King Arthur and Merlin. They say Gandalf
is surely a Druid sort of wizard. Druids
used snakes in treating certain types bad water born parasites. One very long worm was wrapped around a staff
as it exited the blister on a human leg.
The caduceus from the Greek physician Hippocrates has much ancient symbolism
to be sure. The symbol of the snake may
be a sign of a surgeon/healer who used snake venom in healing remedies. Although snakes are venomous when the skin is
bitten, when the venom is ingested in certain ways it will remove parasites. The staff seems to be a symbol of the Druid
as they had staffs they used as walking sticks. Holly and mistletoe have medicinal properties.
The berries are considered poisonous to eat; however, the leaves and bark are used
in teas for a variety of diseases such as epilepsy, hypertension, headaches, menopausal symptoms,
infertility, arthritis, and rheumatism and is reported to cure cancer. Further reading also says it was widely used
to treat anxiety, gall bladder and liver illnesses. It is no wonder the Druids
carried pouches with medicine, and they were known to harvest the trees for
these types of small oak and parasitic mistletoe.
The Romans attacked the area known to be alive
with Druids and wiped them out. This
area was called Anglesey, Island of Mona, in Wales. Some of them no doubt
escaped to Ireland and other Islands around the North Sea area. Ben McBrady said that the story of Saint
Patrick was about 99% fiction. He
maintains that if Patrick did exist at all, he came to Ireland much sooner and
it would be about the turn of the timeline that the Romans invaded. It is believed that Patrick became a student
of the Druid teaching. Although he was a
priest of the early Christian/Roman Church.
The Druids were the intellectual elite. They were poets, astronomers, magicians, and
astrologers. It took them 19 years to gain the necessary knowledge and skills
in alchemy, medicine, law, the sciences, and more. They organized intellectual
life, judicial processes, had skills to heal people, and were involved in
developing strategies for war. They were an oasis of wisdom and highly
respected in their society.
It has taken some time to remember and recount the
two Druids present in Sedona. They were
amazing and interesting, and they made me aware of the value of the
Druids. They had a far-reaching
influence. The Druids got a bad rap from
the Roman historians. The Romans found
them barbaric and the Druids did not think highly of the Romans who invaded their
country. Many so-called human sacrifices
were not at all true. There might have
been pagans who did sacrificing but it is doubtful they were the elite of the
Druid Order. As Ben said, many of the
characteristics and virtues of Christianity were flowing from Druid philosophy.
I
was reading a great deal before writing this essay. The Druids would weave bows of the Yew tree
together to create a curtain between the stones of a sacred clearing. Certain rituals were performed in
darkness. It has been a long time and I
long to see my friends again. For now I use pine aroma therapy to draw that sacred feeling I had when communicating telepathically with these friends.
