Being more than half Irish, some Scottish and a bit French, I am apparently a Gaul through and through. The Gaelic people were ancients who occupied Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and parts of France. They occupied these area, which were one kingdom known as, Gaul, hence, Gaelic being the language spoken at the time. It is, I believe still taught in the schools throughout Ireland and Scotland, although the dialects are very different, and I don't believe its language used in conversation at the dinner table with the family. Its sort of like how in the states most of us were forced to take Latin to gain a greater navigation of the English language and as a base for the other romance languages. Latin was considered to be the base and stepping stone for learning English, Italian, Spanish, and French, all derived from Latin.

Anyhow, I just thought I would share the Celtic tree, a sacred wheel, much like the Western/Vedic wheel, but a little different, the terminology used in this part of the world was much different than that of the Middle East, Greece, Rome, and the Mediterranean. Astrology was thought to have originated in Mesopotamia, a country where now various Middle Eastern countries and territories occupy. I'm not sure if Persia stood alone or was part of this. I'm a nerd, but sometimes I just don't know everything, guys and dolls.

Ok, so the Celtic Astrology Tree Zodiac Wheel, Beautiful & So Very Different From The Rest!!!



This is an image I see often associated with Pagan religions and practitioners of Wicca, not really a religion as I understand it, but the practice of Pagan beliefs and rituals, very individual to the particular practitioner, a witch if you will, people who are born with these ideologies, generally it is not learned. Some people are more sensitive to these arts than others. This is a very beautiful nature based set of beliefs, not that far off from the Native American tribes in North America before being infiltrated by horrible atrocities. Its funny how we are all the same in that respect, worlds away, oceans away, across thousands of miles, people are people and have the same hopes and dreams and religion is all very similar, a system of ethics and codes of how we would all like to be treated as human beings. The human race is all one big family! The word Wicca literally means "wise woman". That somehow was morphed into witch. Think of these women as grammies mixing up herbs and healing the sick, infertile, loveless, depressed, they helped people and were often present during births to help out with that too, midwives. They were human and not these evil women who ate babies and sucked out your souls and made you sign Satan's book. As a matter of fact, most pagan religions do not even recognize Satan, as Christians know him. There is no Satan in the Wiccan tradition. There are similar negative entities, but not just one guy who controls all the horrors of the universe.

Love & Light
