During the 18th and 19th centuries, a population of many thousands of Gaelic speaking Highland Scots and Scots-Irish migrated to North Carolina, particularly the Cape Fear Valley. The Argyll Colony was possibly the largest, though these Gaels were spread throughout North Carolina and the Appalachian mountains alongside many Irish migrants who found community among fellow Gaels.
In 1739 the leaders of the Argyll Colony petitioned the Presbytery of Inverary to provide them with "a clergyman that can speak the Highland language since from that country all our servants are to be, many of which cannot speak any other language."
In 1748 there was a request for an "Irish" speaking minister.
In 1755 Rev. Hugh McAden in frustration, voiced his efforts were futile as the congregations could not understand English.
Up until 1820 there were five counties in North Carolina where Gaelic was not only the language in the street, but the official language of the courts too.

Some elfish place names in England include Alvescot in Oxfordshire, from Ælfegescota meaning Ælf hēah's cot or Elf’s Cottage.
Elvendon, also in Oxfordshire, comes from Elvesdenegrof, meaning Elves Wood Grove. Aluehou near Tetney in Lincolnshire comes from álfr haugr or the mound haunting by elves – somewhere to give blot on the next full moon as Frēa (Frey) and the ælfe will be invoked in many upcoming rites!
Another mound haunted by elves is Elvinhowe in Gosforth in Newcastle, whilst Elveden is a valley near Thetford, which is home to the elves.

Prehistoric Owl depicted in the Chauvet Cave in France. It was discovered in 1994, and hosts the oldest figurative art in human history. The paintings are said to be over 36,000 years old and the painters were the Aurignacians, the first anatomically modern humans in Europe who lived during the Upper Paleolithic Age.
The cave was formed by an underground river, and fourteen animal species are depicted in the paintings, along with other themes. Click here to learn more!

The Mabinogion - Davies.pdf
1.3 MB
The Mabinogion is a valuable resource for any Celtic pagan. It's a collection of Welsh folktales compiled in the 12-13th century, but like the Eddas, originating in much earlier pagan times. Several contain denoscriptions of Pre-Christian beliefs and practices.

Marduk wants more than "to run with" in Egypt. He considers that his father, who created entirely the human race ("Sapiens-sapiens", because fertilized directly by Enki and his own seed) and everything on Earth with his Annunaki, is de facto the god of the Earth. As his noscript indicates it clearly: En-ki prince of the Earth
It is true that at the origins of history, the arrival of Enlil on Earth, with the blessing of Anu, dispossesses Enki FOR THE SECOND TIME of his throne. After having built and organized everything on Earth, the whole thing is removed from him to be given to his brother
(At first, Anu refused that Enki marries Ninhursag, who was nevertheless his love. He gave her to Enlil. Then, besides his successive dispossessions, his family destroyed all his creation and not only once. In particular "his children", as he often says it, us, the human race. Moreover, Enki speaks, in The Lost Book, about his sadness, his pain, and his "bitter fate" while remaining determined to protect us, how can he still have so much love for mankind)
Marduk supports strongly his father. He is, in addition, more virulent and rebellious that Enki. He is not only a proud god who wants the power. He is a god determined to get justice because for him, his fight, his quest of power is right and legitimate for Enki at first, for him, then.
But, driven by his bitter feeling of injustice and wanting at all costs to be recognized, Marduk falls into megalomania and establishes a kind of "monotheism" prematurely.
The hymn to Ra, on his orders, stipulates clearly:
"Ra, Lord of eternity,
he who everlastingness has made,
over all the gods presiding,
The one who is without equal,
the great solitary and sole one"
(Imagine the reaction of the other gods, when this hymn was sung)
But Marduk persists. He is Ra. Son of Enki/Ptah, three times heir, he thus gets back by rights the attributions of the other gods
"As Enlil I am for lordship and decrees, As Ninurta for the hoe and combat. As Adad for lightning and thunder. As Nannar for illuminating the night. As Utu, I am Shamash. As Nergal over the Lower World I reign. As Gibil the golden depths I know, whence copper and silver come I have found. As Ningishzidda numbers and their count I command, the heavens announce my glory"
When Marduk says this, the next era of Aries, his Age is announced and he takes over the role of Zeus for the Greeks. He as Zeus then becomes a centralised Head God over other Olympians, by his will
Marduk first as Amon-Ra unifies both Egypt. Replace the worship of the Moon (Thoth) by that of the Sun. He appoints the first king of the reunited Egypt: Menes (Mena)
With the Help of his Son Nabu-Apollo. They founded the Roman Republic through Romulus and Remus. Janus was Enki/Ea
(Nabu was represented by the planet Mars with the Six Pointed Star and associated astrologically to Mercury by the Babylonians)
Nabu at his father's behest was appointed over the Romans as Phoebus Apollo later syncretized with Helios (Enki/Ea), supporting Octavian and the later emperors through guiding their political decisions by oracle. (He was the messenger of Rome)
The Roman empire was created after Julius death and subsumed the Hellenic states and Egypt along with it by the will of Marduk who made himself the sole head God of the pantheon, Jupiter
Enki himself considers the actions of Marduk as excessive
Prior to Marduk's desire for recognition, power and status among the Gods leading to his Rome. Enki reprimands him for unifying the Egyptian states into one:
"What has you overpowered?
Unheard of, are your pretensions"
"The magnificence of the reunited Egypt exceeds all that was made"
says Enki
Ptah to help the expansion of the second region gives Marduk all the ME, except the one which allows to return the dead to life (whom he gave to Imhotep-Asklepios) and offers to his son the constellation of Aries
Under Marduk however, the Egyptians were having success in their harvests so much so that the development of the third region of Inanna was started.

Victory would hold no value if it was obtained without toil, and the spoils of war though they be golden artifacts would be nothing more than hollow shells, worthless.
Therefore what manner of reward do you hope to attain without sweat? Are you still searching for shortcuts, for hacks? There are none. The Immortals would allow no such thing.
Isn't that which is superior to man by its very nature meant to challenge man? To elevate him. To allow the best there is to shine forth and leave behind the mediocre at best, multitude?
In that case, suffer today so that what seems like torture to mere mortals tomorrow be nothing more than frivolity to you.

St. Augustine:
“God tests in order to open things up to people, heretics test in order to shut God out from themselves.”
“Now it is true that people cannot see the devil they are fighting with, but they have a very easy remedy for that; let them conquer themselves within, and they will triumph over him without.”
“You do not know yourself unless you learn yourself through trial, temptation, and testing.”
