Selling something useless, vastly overpriced. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I feel that it is an insult to my intelligence when someone offers me a slogan, as slogans are offered to people as an alternative to Thinking. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many people are far to well educated to be taken in by sloganeering, Marxism or marketing, I think this is a great step forward in human evolution. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Sorry about all those &amp;quot;Celtic Druidic&amp;quot; books and courses.

There was never a Celtic invasion of Ireland. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Such in-depth scientific studies prove that the vast majority of the present Irish descend directly from the &amp;quot;pre-Celtic&amp;quot; inhabitants of Ireland. Similarly in the case of Britain. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So we descend directly from the pre-Celtic peoples who built Newgrange and Stonehenge, Great News ! And this is almost incontrovertible evidence that the Druids originated in Ireland, Britain too. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;No other Druid Order or group in the world today has ever realised or known this - and they still live inside The Celtic Myth. Several years ago the Archdruid of Ireland announced this , but his was a voice lost amid a world scenario of &amp;quot;Celtic&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Druidic&amp;quot; book writers, making a lot of money, and therefore, understandably, they didn&amp;#39;t want to know. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;There is an Irish &amp;quot;Celtic&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Druidic&amp;quot; website that proposes to make you a Druid, for a fat fee. Every second word on that site is &amp;quot;Celtic&amp;quot;, it&amp;#39;s Celtic this and Celtic that, even &amp;quot;our Own Celtic Irish language&amp;quot; is used to impress you, to part you from your money for reams of useless printed paper. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;Now I am fluent in the Irish language, so I&amp;#39;d love to know what this &amp;quot;Celtic Irish Language&amp;quot; is - just in case I missed something ? &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item><item><title>Are you right there, Michael, are you right ?</title><link>http://irishdruid.wetpaint.com/page/Are+you+right+there%2C+Michael%2C+are+you+right+%3F</link><author>blackfloorpaint</author><guid isPermaLink="false">http://irishdruid.wetpaint.com/page/Are+you+right+there%2C+Michael%2C+are+you+right+%3F</guid><pubDate>Mon, 25 Jun 2007 20:20:22 CDT</pubDate><description>&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; 				&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; 				&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; 				&lt;/div&gt;&lt;h2&gt;Archdruid Michael of Ireland. &lt;br&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;left&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;Hello Friends, this is Michael McGrath. I wish to thank the publishers of this site for permitting me to address you on behalf of the Free Druids of Ireland. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Many if you will know that we, the Druids of Ireland, have been under constant attack, intense attack in fact since last October. Of course we have been under attack for several years now, by one crowd in 1997, and now by a different and much smaller group, thankfully. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As a result much of our good work has been interrupted. The attacks have abated somewhat now so we look forward to resuming all our own services and activities again throughout the summer. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank You all for being so understanding, thank you, followers, for your great loyalty and support. Druidry in Ireland is all the better for you. It will not be forced this way or that. It will grow, organically, as the Spirit of Druidry wisely dictates. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Druidry does not belong to this or that political wing, it does not, in Ireland, have this politics or that politics, it most certainly is not there to be used and abused by the Hard Left. Druidry does not recognise any political path, it is aligned with no political movement of the Left, Centre or Right. It is therefore wrong to try to label any Druid with any political label, no matter how much you may hate, despise or detest him or her, such behaviour is not Druidic, and any man or woman who indulges in it is not a Druid. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It mitigates against team work, and this, to my mind , is the way ahead for Druidry in Ireland. It matters not if you are the Archdruid of Tara or Timbucktoo, you are expected to be a good team player, and as you progress along the path, a good team leader. Looks or charm (though I am assured I have both in abundance, lol ) do not come into it either - if you think that way, try Hollywood or your local TV studio - Druidry would be too humiliating a path for you. &amp;quot;Poverty, Chastity and Obedience&amp;quot; are good virtues in any Druid., so using Druidry to promote your new age business and attract clients is not the Druid Way at all. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Teamwork will assist greatly in mainstreaming Druidry in Ireland, especially, as I have striven to bring Druidry in out of the cold and into the cities and towns of Ireland. Learn how to pass the ball - but not the buck ! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Campaigns (such as the save Tara campaigns) may or may not be worthwhile, but they must not be mistaken for Druidry, they must not distract from Druidry - and they must not be allowed to take over from Druidry. When they do you become a campaigner, you cease to be a Druid. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thank you for listening to me so far, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In Service, Peace and Wisdom,&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Your Servant, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Michael&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Michael McGrath,&lt;br&gt;Archdruid of Ireland. &lt;br&gt;&lt;hr size=&quot;1&quot;&gt;&lt;br/&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
