^ the goals

Every man should go at least once in his lifetime into the wilderness to purify his soul.

May those who hear the calling find the strength and wisdom to answer it.

The opportunity to awaken a dormant seer capability will be presented to the one who is ready.

His mission/purpose on earth will be revealed and he shall return to the realm of the living-dead with spiritual sight.

That gift can only be given to those who are willing to kill their old self, for the gods do not reveal their secrets to the unworthy or the fool or the coward.

Odin himself had to sacrifice his eye for Knowledge and hung himself from Yggdrasil for nine days and nights until the secret of the runes was revealed to him.

Out from the heart of the wilderness the Eternal Wanderer, the Allfather calls out. For the time has come once again to gather his army.

Did the Ancient Druids believe in a Veil of Ignorance (Ajñāna, Avidya, Maya) between the World and Absolute Reality or God?


The Gaelic mythology indeed preserves a concept of a Veil of Ignorance between the manifest World and The Absolute (Breoghan/Tat/Dedad), very much like the metaphysics found in Indian religions.

Alldui (Great Ignorance =Ajnana/Avidya), is son of Tat (Father =God), son of Tabhairn (=Tavern, a poetic term for Ocean, =The Cosmic Ocean). The genealogy of the gods concludes there.

Indui, meaning the negation (In-) of Ignorance (Dui), is the son of this Alldui. In this sequence we then have the Great Veil of Ignorance (Alldui) emerging from the Absolute (Tat) and immediately being followed by its own negation (In-dui), which is thus a new born Wisdom piercing the veil of Darkness, the primordial intellectual Sun rising.

This is confirmed in a separate version of the same mythos found in the Ulster legends. We have Dui (Ignorance) who is foster-son of Dedad (God) and son of Lugaid (the Purusha form), who is killed and succeeded by Fachtna Fáthach, son of Ross.

Fachtna Fáthach mac Ross means the Hostile Wise One, son of Knowledge, and Fáthach comes from the same root word as the name Odin and numerous words for seer.

Thus once again we have Ignorance (Dui), sired by The Absolute (Dedad/Lugaid), and succeeded by its own negation, The Wise One (Fachtna).

Tat > Alldui > Indui

Dedad > Dui > Fachtna


Now Indui is called the king of the North country and lord of horse breeding peoples. The Horse has a solar and fiery meaning, and Fachtna is indeed grandson of Rudraige, “The Red”, who must be the Red Sun called Rohita (The Red/Red Horse) in the Vedas. Rohita is also included as one of the esoteric names of Rudra in the Satarudriya litany. That is, Rudra is directly identified with this Red Sun in the Vedas.

Thus Fachtna/Indui seems to be a highly solarized and primordial Rudra/Odin/Finn type, very much comparable to Apollo, sprung from the primordial (also Rudra-coded) Sun God (Rudraige/Rohita), who then defeats the darkness of the Veil of Ignorance with the light of Wisdom and Knowledge.

The red, dawning Intellectual Sun (Rudraige) is emanating the god of Raging Intellect (Fachtna), the latter appearing to be like a furious extension of the former.

As Indui is the lord of the North, so he must be the god most consistently tied to the North in Indo-European myth: Rudra/Apollo, here in a primordial and highly solarized form, as his lordship over horse breeding implies. It is thus hard to know if Indui parallels Fachtna, his grandfather Rudraige, or both as one, yet it is Fachtna who directly kills Dui.

From Indui all the other gods then follow, his first successor being Neit (Vishnu).

Likewise from Fachtna and his lover Ness (Vac, Speech) and her other consort Cathbad (a Rudraic Brihaspati), the other god-heroes also follow, such as their son Conchobar (Prajapati) and their daughter’s son Cuchulainn (Vishnu).


The Druids indeed had a metaphysics of The Veil of Ignorance that is born from The Absolute and then supplanted by the hostile god of solar Wisdom. Whether we call it Ajñāna, Avidya, Maya, or Alldui, this veil is there in plain language right at the beginning of the mythic genealogies of the Gaels.

May this message of clarification find its way to those who will preserve it, that we may pierce the Great Veil.
