MOG ROITH’s LAMENT *

I am sorry my friends

I love you all

but…

When it comes to
"What" 
it's all about...

At length 
I have discovered
that it is not 

so much about  
honoring the gods

Nor is it 
so much about  
sacrifice, ghosti

and reciprocity.

Now, 
if you really believe 
that it is, I’m not saying 
that you’re “wrong”,

so much as 
that you are...

missing The Point...

You see,

What it really IS about 

is...

Community,

Celebration,

Cyclicity,

the holy passage of the

Seasons,

and the grim succession of the

Years…

in service of 
             Memory,
and its role in the evolution and maintenance of
             the Soul...

That,  
my chums,  
is 
what it's about.

* MOG ROITH (Mug Ruith) 
The celebrated Druid from the Irish hero-tales.

It has always brought a smile to my face when I remember that his

name translates as  “Slave of the Wheel”.      ( "Yep, you'n me bud..." )
