Just received the book and started reading it. This will be a great read. I highly recommend this to anyone else interested in Christian descriptions on the last surviving Pagans on the margins of Europe.

We can translate Minoan Linear A now along with the longer Phaistos disk and slight later texts from Serabet el-Khadim. Only Academic nationalists keep insisting we can't despite the overwhelming evidence. www.druidwisdom.org/druid-rune-t...

Too bad the text is not readable because Linear A has been deciphered. Its just the nationalist old guard does not want to admit it because of what it means. www.druidwisdom.org/druid-rune-t...

Its older than that. As NK this same Akkadian word is found on the European runic texts coming from the Neolithic farmer language (who migrated out of northern Mesopotamia). It is the source of the English word "naked" due to proximity in space and time. www.academia.edu/127047369/Dr...

Amazing proof of correlation between eggs and a pomegranate. These cultural clues are more important in my opinion then treating this simply as art.

Skadi as indicated by the label on this pot from Etruscan Vulci. French National Library Number: De Ridder.920a.

(Photo: French National Library Number: De Ridder.920) The Druid Akkadian text reads: The Death-Omen (Skadi) is not affecting it (her). The irrigated-field (life network) is manifesting the fertility-fluid's involvement. Nourishments are being associated.

Actually it is Skadi as indicated by the label on this pot from Etruscan Vulci. The other side also shows Skaldi with Druid Akkadian text. Etruscan studies have been polluted by Greek assumptions. French National Library Number: De Ridder.920a.

Illinois hates Trumps as well.

Trump and his minions are a disgrace to the free world and the United States.

Well done! The past is Pagan. The translations of the runic texts will give future Pagan scholars a ton of new material to chew on. The point about being trapped in the monotheistic paradigm is true. Just describing Paganism as polytheistic instead of perceptheistic is an example of that.

Yes, this is deeper than politics, it is cultural. This reflects the religious dualism the West inherited from Zoroastrianism and which then found its way into Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (good versus evil). Only nature Paganism incorporates the middle ground from ancient times up to now.

Minoan Linear A is in Akkadian as are all the runic texts around Europe. This is the language of the Neolithic farmers and hundreds of those texts have already been translated and its dictionary published. Akkadian words are even found in English. Translations at www.druidwisdom.org

Initially words were not separated by spaces. This era was the time of transition during which spaces were becoming standard. Other common separation mechanisms were colons and dots. I also don't think we should assume it is a boundary marker without a good translation.

I don't know. This seems to be Latin "An ab estas" meaning "are you from here?"

Probably neither. Wings indicate a sky-shell level deity, non-classical due to clothing, disk is likely the sun so this is a representation of a sun god having some sort of problems.

No pictures?

No, its just too clunky compared to specialized games meant to do that sort of thing. Jousting, shooting arrows, flying dragons around an obstacle course are good though.

Not really. Something more is going on here. She is older than most and is dropping the mirror. She is the center of some zodiac signs. The closest parallel is the younger and more regal Vénus d'Arles collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/5335...

Yes, The Roman church could not stand that the Irish church remained independent from their control. As far as I can tell the Roman church only got that control after the Norman/English invaded Ireland.

How do they know this image represents Venus? All I see in a mirror and a rattle.

So it was Tertullian who began the false identification of magi with kings. I suspect he wanted to end the tradition that Jesus was involved with ancient magic. Interesting.

Lapis Lazuli pigment?

York Raven Penny. The left image is that of a raven which is associated with the Druid goddess Kate/Hekate as implied in the text. The right image is of the letter "T" meaning "astrology-magic" which is the main theme of the coin. The runic text style is approaching that of the Codex Runicus Translation 1. Astrology-magic's considerations (focused emotions of emotion magic) are lacking the veiled-one (Kate/Hekate). Life-Manifestations and revelations of respect are (thus) ineffective. 2. Manifestations of the high-life-powers are from opening-up the harbor (sky-shell). Manifest Hu. The Moon-Eye (astrology-magic source god Su) is making ineffective the life-threads. Eagle-vultures can neglect astrology-magic's results.

🏺York #Raven Penny 1000 CE. #Rune style approaching Codex Runicus. Language is #Druid #Akkadian. Raven text mentions "Veiled-One" referencing #Hekate. The center cross is not Christian but is letter T meaning "astrology #magic" and used in the text.

Go Owls!

That is really interesting! I have not appreciated that contemporaries so strongly differentiated the "mystery cults" from the standard royal deity pantheon.

This should be interesting! They had a day or two to evacuate and those on the beachfront at Herculaneum were still in the process when the pryoclastic flow hit.

Sorry but I don't. That was a long time ago!

Great survey. If I am reading it right, the decline of these ritual figurines seems to correlate with the arrival of the Indo-Europeans in the area around 3000 BCE.

Do you have a reference to the original source document for this?

I believe radium was the source of alpha particles for Rutherford but I may be wrong.
