Modernizing the primordial myth Celt style


Religion means to link back, to acknowledge the lessons, and developments of the past in the process of building now towards a brighter future. Many religions rely on the analogies and allegories of Myths and Legends in order to make the complicated and difficult answers to the questions of life a little more palatable. The light of hindsight shines brightly through the lenses of our modern achievements, and in the dimming light of those advancements the old tales can seem quaint, humorous, and at worst no longer relevant. Conversely, through the lenses of mythology we almost appear the Gods we fancy ourselves to be. With the development of Science out of magic, and the establishment of the Scientific method Religion and Science had to reconcile accumulated wisdom with acquired understanding. Science can be cold and calculated, whereas Religion can be confusing and overwhelming. Perhaps if we applied what we knew from Scientific discovery to the Mythological narrative we could find some resolution. One of the beauties of Druidism is its adaptability, that very trait that has made humanity the dominant species on this planet.

Here's the backbone of a narrative that i'm proposing amalgamates the 2 in a Gallo Celtic context:

Many ancient Cultures describe a primordial sea of chaos "incomprehensible to the minds of men". Some have called it the womb of time, the womb of Tailtiu (Tiamat) the mother of eternity. Into that womb came the first stirrings wherein Aedh the eternal first spoke its name IAO into the abyss. From those 3 letters the Trinity of Grace arose, those 3 brothers who are one in source and are the essence of all things. 3 in 1 and 1 in 3 ruler of the Earth and Sea. Like the leaves of the shamrock, 3 leaves from one stem without injury. With that first wave arose with equal might Belinos, Taranis, and Tuathatis between them. That first Trinity from whom the Multiverse is triangulated, whose undulating course unfolds all of creation. Together the 3 built the Siorach wherein Aedh alone may dwell. Once the Siorach was established and the Ankhou knew its place (course,, the Sun does circumambulate the galaxy) Aedh re-entered the abyss even unto Neamhni. And thus did life lay hold of the dead from whence all intellectual existences sprang and began the arduous return to their source. It was in this first progress that Gobniu set out the paths for the labyrinth of Adharta and Saoirse. They continued their progress, that first crest of the wave of eternity, even up to the gates of Siorach, and in their ignorance they would be Gods and attempted to cross even unto Siorach, and thus they fell, even back unto Neamhni. hen through the progress of multiple incarnations, slowly gathering goodness unto themselves, atom by atom until eventually they come to rest again in the adulatory undulations of Saoirse,, and in the island string of the otherworld. When the breath of life which had entered Neamnhi began to re-emerge back towards its eternal home the friction of the movement brought forth fire. Brigit (Breo Saigit) that flaming arrow of inspiration who kindled the first little flames (aingeal), who gathering around the Siorach create the Ankhou, whose name is Llugh (light) whom Epona (Horse/Rank Goddess of strength) bears across the heavens each day to light the ways of living beings and to measure for them the count of years in their passing cycles. It was the power of the Ankhou which drew in material from the womb of Tailtiu that created the family of heaven (the 9 planets), with Aedh as their center and the Ankhou to light the way. From these particles Gobniu created, at the bequest of the great horned lord of the galaxy, the Earth who is Anu mother of life on Earth (Mother nature). She was beset upon by foreign suitor, from whose encounter the moon was produced, the mother of the seven daughters of ocean (the days of the week)

Work in progress.
