Celtic Commandments
Give thou thine heart to the wild magic,
To the Lord and the Lady of Nature,
Beyond any consideration of this world.
Do not covet large or small,
Do not despise weakling or poor,
Semblance of evil allow not near thee,
Never give nor earn thou shame.
The Ancient Harmonies are given thee,
Understand them early and prove,
Be one with the power of the elements,
Put behind thee dishonour and lies.
Be loyal to the Lord of the Wild Wood,
Be true to the Lady of the Stars,
Be true to thine own self besides,
True to the magic of Nature above all else.
Do not thou curse anyone,
Lest thou threefold cursed shouldst be,
And shouldst thou travel ocean and earth,
Follow the very step of the ancient trackways.
Druid's Prayer
O Ancient Ones, Grant Thy Protection;
And in Protection, Strength;
And in Strength, Understanding;
And in Understanding, Knowledge;
And in Knowledge, the Knowledge of Justice;
And in the Knowledge of justice, the Truth of it;
And in that Truth, the Love of All Existences;
And in the Love of All Existences, The Trust of one's self and others.
And in that Trust, bring Peace and Harmony within and without.
Druid's Oath
In the realms of nature,
and the community of humankind,
may I always seek knowledge;
the knowledge that brings understanding;
the understanding that brings strength;
the strength that brings justice;
the justice that bears love;
the love that protects all existences;
the existences of the realms of nature,
and the community of humankind.
Quotes;
One:
If hindsight were foresight we should never make a mistake!
Two:
Forget nothing, Forgive All. True peace comes with learning from what has past but not growing hard from it.
Three:
Let he who is without blame cast the first stone.
Four:
I shall not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
Five:
Love is eternal, and it's wellspring is truth, compassion, understanding, and trust.
Six:
Trying to make someone fall in love with you is about as pointless as trying to control who you fall in love with.
Seven:
There are four questions of value in life...
What is sacred?
Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for?
What is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same.
Only love.
