Druids are not priests in the modern sense, but rather healing seers. They inherited all the Atlantean knowledge, which was considerable. I will try to summarize the main aspects of their doctrine, mainly inspired by the astonishing research of a forgotten author, Philéas Lebesgue, who is less of a scholar than a visionary.
Born on 26 November 1869 in La Neuville-Vault near Beauvais (Oise) and died on 11 October 1958 in the same place, Philéas Lebesgue is a French writer, poet, novelist, essayist, translator and literary critic at the Mercure de France. Son of farmers, he took over the management of the family farm after his father’s death in 1908. From then on, he simultaneously pursued an original literary career that sometimes led him to travel to Portugal, Greece, and Yugoslavia, the three countries whose literary news he followed at the Mercure.
In the n° 27 of Atlantis, entitled ‘Encounter with eternal Druidism’, Phileas Lebesgue wrote:
“Did not this doctrine, which is said to have influenced those of the Druids to the point of making them accept the belief in the immortality of the soul, form itself on the essential basis of primitive Revelation, of which the Druids themselves were the depositors?… The teaching of the Druids, which was already flourishing in the Ligurian period, that is to say before the very name of the Celts had spread across Europe, has left hardly any traces…” (source)The texts in purple are by Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
The druids or the Druidesses? The magical island of Avalon was the one, not of the Druids, but rather of the Druidesses, who preceded them. And by many! A modest veil was thrown by the first patriarchs on the very long period when women held with brilliance the current role of men. Including in the handling of weapons. They were warlike and huntresses while the men cleaned the house. But I will come back to it later.
Philéas Lebesgue often asserted: “All that I could learn from the Great Mystery is only pure intuition…” (source)The texts in purple are by Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
I cannot help but relate this statement to my own experience, which has always made me understand the mysteries through a revelation, a flash within which everything is clear and everything enlightens. I also see a link with this statement by Albert Einstein that particularly touched me: “I have never made a single discovery according to the process of rational thought. (…) If we want to improve the world, we cannot do it with scientific knowledge, but with ideals.
The Druidic civilization, or Ligure, is, on the contrary to all civilizations, both oriental and middle eastern, neither patriarchal nor matriarchal, but dual. The druids knew the measurement of time, the telluric radiations of the ground and the sky, the atom compared to solar systems, etc…
The Greeks said they were educated by the Druids, which may have led Aristotle to write that ‘Philosophy’ had begun with the Celts (Keltoï), and that Gaul had been the teacher of Greece. The civilization of the Druids established itself both on their Cosmogonic knowledge and on their Theogony.
A dendrophore, in its original meaning, is a “tree-carrier”, a lumberjack. This corporation played an essential role in the worship of Cybele, where he carried a pine tree, the tree always green. (read more)
Druidic astrology makes the ‘Zodiac’ begin at the sign of Virgo, about fifteen thousand years before our era, and that, in the Druidic Tradition, the Great Initiates descend from the goddess Dana and that all mythology is based on the people of the Tuatha Dé Danann, the sons of the goddess Dana, whose Great God is none other than Lugh.
This Zodiac is therefore contemporary with the Cro-Magnon man, the apogee of parietal art, the appearance of the first ‘Venus’ and the cult of the Mother Goddess and the sacredness of woman. (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
The Cross of the Dendrophore is found in Plato, in the fifth century BC, from his dialogue ‘Critias’
I will repeat this old story, as I heard it told by a man who was not young. For Critias was then, according to what he said, near his ninety years… one of the priests who was very old, said to him:
“Ah! Solon, Solon, you other Greeks, you are always children… There have been and will be many times destructions of men caused by fire and water… first of all you remember only one terrestrial deluge, whereas there were many before.
Then the priest of Sais gives the true social classification, which is found in Traditional Druidism. We know that the druids, long before the Celts, knew not three social classes, but four. This is what this priest says: “Thus it is first of all that the class of priests is separated from the others, as well as that of artisans, where each profession has its own special work, without mingling with another, and that of shepherds, hunters, plowmen. For the class of warriors, you have undoubtedly noticed that they are also separated from all the others with us; because the law forbids them from taking care of anything other than war…
The four elements of the Druidic Cross are: air, water, fire and earth, they represent the four classes we have just seen: priests, artisans, peasants and warriors. Something that is often forgotten is that in Druidism there is a fifth element: ether. In our classification, ether will be represented by the royal class. (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
I take exception, once and for all, to the allegation of the visionary Lebesgue. The Druidic Cross does not represent the four elements. The proof is given by Lebesque himself, when he adds in the following sentence that there are five elements in the original Druidism. That’s right. But in the Ligurian cross, or cross of the Dendrophore, only four ‘elements’ are found.
One must be wary of easy assimilations. The Ligurians were followers of functional quadratic: Artisans and workers, Traders and bankers, Nobles or warriors, and finally, the Druids themselves. The ‘royal class’ cited by Lebesgue includes all those I call the Gods of Before. Their element is ether, which refers to infinite space, since it is true that the former gods descended from Heaven, coming from the Great Bear, more precisely from the star Alcor and its third planet, Or / Ur / Our, as one pronounces it.
They came aboard a large mother ship of spherical shape and the size of the planet Venus. This mothership was hovering over the North Pole and it covered the entire Northern Hemisphere with its dazzling light. The Greeks called it Hyperborea, which means above the north pole.
In the ‘Critias’ again, Plato gives us the description of the main city of the people and the Atlantean island. Despite his great clairvoyance, the Greek philosopher did not understand that the gods did not inhabit an island in the ocean, but a space island. If Atlantis indeed landed on the ocean to which it gave its name, it flew away and not, as Plato will say, it was not swallowed by the raging waves on that terrible day. The mothership Hyperborea housed in its gigantic holds four vessels identical to Atlantis. Three of them, including Atlantis, landed on our oceans…
In the center of the Atlantean island is a high temple. This temple was reproduced in the Greek cities of the classical period under the name of acropolis.
“It was in this temple that the ten kings of Atlantis gathered every five or six years alternately, granting the same honor to both peers and the odd one. In this assembly, they deliberated on common matters, they inquired if one of them was breaking the law and judged him,” says Plato. Only the druidic civilization presents all these aspects.” (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
Originally, this acropolis was the command post of the island-ship when it navigated through the air. Plato ignored it, just like the other Greek or Roman authors who mentioned Atlantis.
“On the side of the sea, stretched out, through the middle of the entire island, a plain. Towards the center of this plain one saw a mountain. Poseidon fortified the hill by cutting out its perimeter with walls made alternately of sea and land, the largest enveloping the smallest. He traced two of land and three of sea and rounded them starting from the middle of the island… Now this plain had been developed as I am going to say. It had the shape of a quadrilateral… From the upper part of the city, trenches cut across the plain in a straight line and discharged into the ditch near the sea…”
Poseidon did not trace anything at all. He was content to inhabit the island-ship Atlantis, which had been made very far away, on Ur in Alcor. And his son Atlas made some mistakes at takeoff…
In the ‘Menon’, Plato gives us some indications about the Druids and Druidism, letting Socrates speak: “These are priests and priestesses who have had at heart to give an account for their ministry. What they say, here it is: the soul of man is immortal, and sometimes it escapes, what is called die, and sometimes reappears, but never perishes. For this reason, one must lead the holiest life possible… Since the soul is immortal, since it has lived several lives, it has seen everything that happens here and in Hades, so there is nothing it hasn’t learned.”
In the ‘Critias’, Plato gives us a description of the men of Atlantis: «They were renowned throughout Europe and all of Asia for the beauty of their bodies and the virtues of every kind that adorned their souls, and they were the most illustrious of all the men of the time.»
In the form of the Ligurian calendar, the Cross of Dendrophore divides the year into four districts. One of them begins with the feast of Samaïn, on November 1st. During this festival, the living and the dead could communicate since the ‘Sidh” opened.
The ‘Sidh’ is the navel of the world, the inner world inhabited by deities. This ‘other world’ is accessible through numerous gates, the Latin tumulisplural of tumulus and megalithic monuments. These gates of the ‘Sidh’ are also present beyond the Atlantic Ocean. In our legends, they are the ‘tertres aux fées’. This word ‘Sidh’ means Peace and indicates the world of all deities. (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
This same root is found in the sacred name of the historical Buddha, Gautama Siddhartha. We also saw that the Druidic Cross represented the triple sacred enclosure. This one can be found from the protohistoric period to the Gallo-Roman era. However, round enclosures are rare and only concern religious enclosures. We see, for example, the Irish capital Tara surrounded by a triple enclosure symbolizing the three worlds. In the religious field, it represents the three degrees of the druidic priesthood: Bards, Ovates, and Druids.
We saw that the plain had the shape of a quadrilateral, that in its center was the royal palace with the temple of Poseidon and Clito, that a circular enclosure closed everything, that streams crossing the plain cut it-here in a straight line and were going to throw themselves into the sea from both ends, that moreover we find two sources there; we therefore have there the perfect representation of the Cross called the Dendrophore. (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
Here is now the layout of the acropolis where the royal palace was located: ‘At the very center of the acropolis there was a temple dedicated to Clito and Poseidon. Access was prohibited and it was surrounded by a gold fence. We find, there, the sacred enclosure of the druids and the description of the Cross and its center.
At the center of the island, therefore in the middle of the temple, was a column of orichalcum on which was engraved the law given by Poseidon. The temple therefore became an Omphalos. (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
The Omphalos, for the Greeks, is the navel of the world. Here again, friend Lebesgue swims in the approximately. He is very excusable, given the time when he wrote these lines. The navel of the world, the Center of the World, we are still and always in the Other World under our feet, this underworld inhabited by the gods before, Ligurians, Tuatha de Danaan, Pre-Celts or whatever name they liked to give them.
Plato writes in this regard: “God, the traditional interpreter of religion, has established himself at the center and navel of the earth, to guide mankind.” (source)Philéas Lebesgue quoted by G. Moreau de Waldan
Again, let’s not hold a grudge against Plato to masculinise the Goddess. Greco-Roman antiquity was in the midst of a patriarchy, after a long, very long period of matriarchation under the reign of the Mother Goddess and her avatars, all goddesses. Whether it be Hera, Hathor, Isis, Shakti, Parvati, Innana, Freya, the goddesses have ruled for a hundred millennia, yes, you read that right. Here, Lebesgue talks to us about the Ligurians that he originated fifteen thousand years ago.
Only fifteen thousand years? Yes, only. And tell me, were the Ligurians patriarchs? No. They obeyed the Great Goddess, too. Like the Tuatha of the goddess Dana Ann. Like the ancient Celts. Like the first Vikings. All black skin giants, with frizzy hair like the black Buddhas of ancient India.
One must see reason, gentlemen machos, the male counts very little in this female multiverse. When someone asks me who god is, I like to answer this:
The omphalos of the Celts was a menhir, therefore a pivot. The center of the human microcosm. ” The menhir resembles the tree of life and the axis of the world. In the Celtic tradition, he represented the ‘Great Druid’ and was erected in his honor. Caesar tells us that he represented the Gallic Mercury, alias Lug,” says Philéas Lebesgue again.
Lug is a pre-Celtic god. He gave his name to the Ligurian civilization and to the city of Lyon, with the Latin name Lugdunum, the dun or fort of Lug. It is true that the menhir, standing man, stone fretted or straight-edged, evokes the masculine sex davange. The domen, on the other hand, is more feminine. It is the entrance to the world of the depths, the divine gate of the Sidh. “The dolmen stands at the edge of the land of the living facing the happy plain,” said Lebesgue.
As for the Great Druid, let’s not forget that before the omnipotence of the Druids, there was the endless reign of the Goddesses. These great priestesses of magic possess in their womb the omphalos, the Sidh, the inner world that gives life.
The recognition of female superiority is something recent. Like racism, sexism has not disappeared. At the present time, he still reigns with great violence not only in distant lands, but at home, in our sweet France. Douce, it’s quickly said. Dozens of murders are committed every year against women or black people.
If you have black skin in addition to the female sex, flee inhuman cities. If you have no choice nor the means to live elsewhere than in these rat traps, stay at home. With every step outside, you risk death.
