is no longer necessary for our growth. As we begin to venture out of our comfort zone
and take complete responsibility for what we allow ourselves to think and the words that
we speak then we begin to discover that all that isn't real is what leaves our lives and
what is left is who we truly are.
It would seem that our greatest resistance as human beings is not trusting what comes
from within us and yet, what comes from within is all that we may trust. Consistency in
thought and action is what creates our destiny. When we are feeling good we are in
harmony with our higher self and when we are feeling bad we are not. Our negative
emotions serve in helping us to realize that we are mis-creating our reality through our
thoughts, words, or actions. If we want changes in our lives then we must begin the
process of allowing ourselves to think and act in new and creative ways. If we do not
have what we want then we are still on the journey of discovering the process by which
our thoughts are transformed into reality. "As you think so shall it be"....

General information: French Druidism

The Deroo of Brittany were more ancient, said Henri Martin, than those
Druids known to Romans; being "primitive Druids, a sacerdotal caste of old
Celts." Yet Forlong, who believed the Gallic coast tribes long traded and
intermarried with the Phoenicians, saw "abundant evidences for their
worshipping Astarte and Herakles." They were Saronidae, or judges. They
were the builders, masons, or like Gobhan Saer, free smiths. Of Saer,
O'Brien in his Round Towers says - "The first name ever given to this body
(Freemasons) was Saer, which has three significations: firstly, free; secondly, mason; and
thirdly, son of God." Keane calls him "one of the Guabhres or Cabin, such as you have
ever seen him represented on the Tuath de Danaan Cross at Clonmacnoise."
A Breton poem, Ar Rannou, a dialogue between a Druid and his pupil, is still sung by
villagers, as it may have been by their ancestors, the Venite of Caesar's story. The seat of
the Archdruid of Gaul was at Dreux.
French writers have interested themselves in the Druidic question. The common
impression is that Druids were only to be found in Brittany; but other parts of France
possessed those priests arid bards. Certainly the northwest corner, the region of
megalithic remains, continued later to be their haunt, being less disturbed there. It was in
Brittany, also, that the before-mentioned Oriental mysticism found so safe a home, and
was nurtured so assiduously. But Druids were equally known in the south, centre, and
northeast of France.
Dijon Druids, or the Vacies, were described in 1621 by Guenebauld of Dijon in Le
Reveil de Chyndonax, Prince des Vacies Drvydes Celtiqves Diionois. Upon the tomb of
the Archdruid Chyndonax was found an inscription in Greek, thus rendered by the Dijon
author-
"En ce tombeau, dans Ic sacré boccage
Du Dieu Mithras, est contenu le corps
De Chyndonax grand Prestre; mechant hors,
