Your neighborhood Pup the Cauldron

I will be presenting my own created systema that is based on historical, theological and cultural research as well as my own upg (unverified personal gnosis) and praxis development. My systema hopefully will inspire more to make their own systema, as historically many praxes existed between people.

Gaulish magickal practice seems to historically been similar to other cultures based on attestations, findings and by comparative cultural research. Creating a modern magickal system is hard, however not impossible, similar to other aspects of our spirituality.

The realm center of or between realms, Cernunnos hold and a secretive otherworld.

Fire, hearth and the importance of the sacred flames.

AEDRINIS/EIDRINIS- the celebration of flames, seen in the calendarium coligny.

It is mentioned by Diordus Siculus that the Druiðs believed that the soul consisted of flames and water.

Strings, cords, weaving, knots and ties has been seen in both related and neighbouring cultures as important in magickal practice, so there is a probability in similar practice with the gauls. Gauls made their own cords, threads and weaves of cloth and magickal practice could have been done as well.

Most dieties that were heavily tied to magicks are also dieties tied to sacred springs and Wells that were seen as both healing and holy. It could suggest the importance to the connection to water in magickal practice, something seen in other cultures as well (both related and neighbouring).

As in neighbouring cultures, praxis of magicks was probably heavily tied to religiosity. There was probably a difference between devotional practice and household and folkmagickal practice.

The main pillars in the magickal practice seems to be similar to hellenic practices- Chants, incantations and invocation, talisman, enchantment and charms ( based mostly on lingistics) as well as forms of divination and meditation-like acts.

THE PRAXIS OF GAULISH MAGICKS

BRIXTIA BESSUS GALATIS

The art of magickal praxis in gaulish culture is not unheard of, however hard to study. Art, description and attestation suggests similarities to neighbouring cultures and cultus. The P.C. brixtā is the rot for both the practice of magic and practioner of magic (see bruja).

GAULISH MAGICKS -BRIXTIAS

Decorative padlock found in Bishop's Court, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, circa 6th-7th century CE, depicting the Roman God Janus, looking forward and backwards to the new and old years. Presently in the Ashmolean Museum at Oxford.

A prayer to Janus I wrote a few years ago, reproduced from my blog:

Divine Janus,
Two-Faced God of Things that Were
and Things Yet To Be,
As the Light gives way to the Dark
and the Dusk again to the Dawn,
Each in turn a new beginning,
Bear well Your benevolence on this new turning.
