🐗 THE CELTIC BOAR:
To the Celtic peoples the animals of the Earth were sacred, where even the Gods of the Celts took on animalistic appearances such as antlers. But out of all the animals the Celts venerated such as fish and deer, one stood above the rest—especially in Continental Europe.
The Boar for the Continental Celts held special significance. To the Celts it represented fearlessness, courage, strength, bravery, stubbornness, wealth, fertility, abundance and good health. It became the symbol for the Carynx and was especially popular among Celtic warriors who would mimic the ferocity of the wild boar on the battlefield.
In Celtic art and artifacts across Europe we see that the boar was widely respected and venerated. Being depicted alongside the Gods among other animals. While on the battlefield, the Celtic warrior would emulate the virtues of the boar with bravery, strength and fearlessness.

You know you’ve grown when you enter a room you’ve walked in thousands of times before and you’re not feeling any shred of doubt, nervosity or any sort of anxious feeling. You’ve levelled up. You’ve proved yourself, in and at other places and rooms so that when you step in this old acquainted room you carry all that experience with you without you even realizing it. Others can tell and will know. And you will too.

'The unjust person acts against the gods. For insofar as the nature of the universe made rational creatures for the sake of each other, with an eye toward mutual benefit based on true value and never for harm, anyone breaking nature’s will obviously acts against the oldest of gods.'

"No matter how small, a change can still be part of something greater. Even then, when he held a position of power, he fought for all of them to be treated equally. He considered everyone as a human being, even those who stood against him."

The Power of the Powerless

October, 1978
Can they actually change anything? ... The potential of the powerless can only begin with an examination of the nature of power in the circumstances in which these powerless people operate.

Civilizations rise and fall, and cosmic ages come and go.
Look at the mess they have created, look how far they have strayed from the Path and descended into perfect folly.
Look how estranged they have become from Nature and how their ways are contrary to Her. Look how unsightly their carcasses have turned, sickly, infirm.
The purpose of their lives is to satisfy their senses and base desires. They live and die knowing and understanding only that.
But you are different, aren't you? And your soul calls you to higher things.
Therefore, arise on this day and every day and surf that Kali Yuga.
