The Indo Cultures deified their ancestors, nature and borrowed local gods from wherever they settled. It gets rather interesting sorting everything out. It can't be done unless you understand languages, and most of these alternative researchers can't. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stubbly_Dooright Posted May 23, 2018 #15 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I'm trying to understand how symbolism is being used here. (It could be me, possible slight learning disability putting up a wall in front of my eyes. ) But, is symbolism being used to describe there are gods and are hidden, or that it's being used to described the outlook of how societies, royal houses, and individuals see themselves? I would think that mythology and spiritual symbols tend to play into that, since spirituality and religious influence plays a big part in a lot of societies and houses and how they were influenced. As I listen more to the video, I don't think I understand how the symbols are influencing societies. I would think the symbols were being influenced through societies. Bald Eagle, US National Emblem. The bald eagle was chosen June 20, 1782 as the emblem of the United States of America, because of its long life, great strength and majestic looks, and also because it was then believed to exist only on this continent. It seems to me that the flags tends to have what they feel is represented in their countries, on their flags. I think things like crests, have more of a representation, than mean thinking there is influence through the symbols. Quote Some mythological creatures were also used on coats of arms and crests with specific significance in heraldry. Does the narrator of the video have proof of the 'gods' that have come before and that it's trickled down the bloodline of man? (Of course, that is if, I understood the meaning of the OP here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Podo Posted May 23, 2018 #16 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Hah, I've watched this before. I ran into it while looking for videos on Sumerian linguistics. It is hilarious. My partner and I watched it and had to keep pausing because we were laughing so hard, due to the sheer insanity of it all. The speaker has no idea what "proof" means, and just states random stuff and several minutes later declaring it true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you are implying here. To change the druids outward projection of their belief system to fall in line with the Christianization of Ireland was seen as a win by the Catholic Church. This accomplishment could have been the allegory of St. Patrick and the metaphor of chasing out the snakes that attacked him could have been the perceived conquering of the Druid belief system. Even if druids still practiced their beliefs in caves the perception of the common folk would kneel before the Catholic Church in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I’m wrong here, but doesn’t the proto-writing of the Sumerians pre-date the Indo-Iranians by at least 1000 years? Doesn’t Sumer predate the Porto-indo deities and the Minoans, are gods recycled only from their latest references? He is citing earlier references than you and associating more well known Greek gods with earlier Sumer gods. Also, he said Enki was represented by a serpent not a dragon (or wolf headed serpent). Some symbols on some Mesopotamian cylinder seals (again pre-dating any of your historical references) have been said to be similar to the caduceus or staff of Hermes of the Greek pantheon. This symbol is also used by druids of the hermetic order to symbolize the wand of the Thrice Great (Hermes Trismegistus). As far as Zues and Poseidon go didn’t Poseidon build his own kingdom at the bottom of the sea....just about as far as you can get away from Olympus? Sure this guy is making some assertions and leaps based on his research and beliefs. But I’m not sure why you want to tear down this guys ideas while offering none of your own. We are not smarter than our ancestors, we are not all knowing, a plethora of knowledge has been lost in this world but for some reason symbolism has prevailed especially within occult and secret societies. You can laugh and dismiss others easily but it doesn’t elevate your thoughts and beliefs to do so. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "reconstructed" idea and Sumer doesn't predate the Proto-Indo Europeans. Although they were in contact with them. The earliest shrine ever discovered was dedicated to a snake. It was universal. https://www.apollon.uio.no/english/articles/2006/python-english.html Poseidon was borrowed from the Minoans. Dyeus Pater (Father Sky/ Zeus) was a Indo-European god. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doubtless. The point of Patrick's mission was to convert the Irish, and it seems indisputable that he succeeded - bloodlessly. I was responding to one of the video's claims which was based on a supposed expulsion of druids from Ireland. There's no evidence that they were expelled, and a lot of reasons to think they weren't. They converted. We know there was some hefty non-violent accommodation of the pre-Christian religion by the newbies. "Saint" Brigid of Kildare is visibly the goddess of the same name (and at root, the same goddess as Athena in the Greek inflection). She remains the patron saint of Ireland to this day (yup, Ireland has two, Patrick and her). In fact, talk about synchronicity, today is her feast day! (Candlemas eve don't you know ... pagan symbolism canonized in the church's own calendar; fancy that). Even "naked eye" archeology: seek out some of the old stone churches in the Irish countryside and see for yourself the sacred well from back when the same site was druid country. So, it was a peaceful revolution. As for where the druids practiced thereafter, probably in the churches on Sundays and feast days - like today. And you better believe that Brigid could throw a rockin' party for mid-winter's day. BTW, Welcome aboard.
