Druidism, Wicca 

& 

The Native American

_{In the far distant past... (432 AD)  a Grand Council of the Druids of all the tribes met, as they did every} 

_{seven years, to share their visions of how to keep the nations in harmony with the Divine Will of the Gods} 

_{and Goddesses who guided their destiny.   In keeping with these visions, they would erase the laws/rules} 

_{for the previous period and re-vote on those and any newer ideas to be put in place for the next seven years.} 

_{At that particular council, the Arch-Druid announced a "vision" he'd had about the religion of Christianity} 

_{that was sweeping across Europe from Rome.  He "saw" that it would be the religion for the Piscean Age,} 

_{and that if Druidism were to survive, it would have to go underground...} 

_{and disguise itself... as we know it did, in many forms.}

_{Many of the heretofore, respected leaders of the little tribal communities decided to practice their faith} 

_{within the guidelines of Christianity and became great leaders in the Orthodox religions of the time...} 

_{some are now noted as Saints.}

_{Thus, Druidism left the scene, the leaders went underground, and only secretly continued} 

_{further instruction to a trusted few... for fear of discovery and certain death.}

_{Those, now left without guidance, did the best they could with what they had learned thus far,} 

_{continuing to learn and teach what they knew. Their discoveries became the basis for the practice} 

_{so prevalent today, which we lovingly call "Wicca".}

_{However, because they no longer had their mentors to help them with the inward journey}  

_{the focus of the Wicca became very different.  The rituals and practices they'd been taught} 

_{became of utmost importance, and the reconstructionists of today revere these above all else.}

_{The Arch-Druid continued with his vision ....saying.... he saw that the Religion of the New Age (Aquarius)} 

_{would be a "seed" of Druidism that would sprout in the new land that lay to the West (of Europe).}

_{During that Council... 12 were chosen... one of each sign... to go to the new land} 

_{"seen in the vision" (but not known at that time), to plant the seeds of Druidism.}

_{If you look at the American Indian legends of nearly every tribe... there is noted a band of} 

_{white skinned wise men, lead by a fiery-haired man... among the Eastern Tribes...}

_{When they reached the northern tribes, their leader was noted as a middle-aged man.} 

_{On the west coast the tribes hailed him as a wise old man.}  

_{In South America, he was known as the god: Quetzalquatl.}  

_{Mysteriously, a Viking-type long boat found the little band of men off the coast of}

_{South America just as Quetzalquatl was about to die, poisoned by a Priest of the} 

_{Jaguar sacrificial cult. He had been fed tiger hair, chopped up into tiny little bits,} 

_{which clogged the pores of his intestine, stopping his digestion. Quetzalquatl was slowing} 

_{starving to death when he left the Americas on that ship.  But great was his accomplishment!}

_{Have you ever wondered why the Native American Indian religion}

_{is so similar to the Olde Wisdom Religion of the Druids?}

_{Well... now you know another side to the story...}
