Wow … thank you.
For your preparatory immersion:
From the Cauldron Born (a phrase known in druidry referring to Taliesin aka The Merlin):
Appreciate it, thank you

Quite the blues tale spun on the bards lyre, a pious man woos a lady, even a queen, gets badly beat, has nightmares and trauma, tames his lower self and gets Kundalini and material happiness. He does it by being the juggler in harmony, works for an employer and doesn’t want unemployment or hard times. Yet strife comes up for Dominion of a new opportunity.

Chanted in harmonics the names Ogma and Cernunnos, especially making the loch starter and rolling Rs transforming into joining nos.
Interesting mental effect.
Thinking of rejoining BOTA and FLO, and joining Quareia. I will simply use their masks as masks for my gods, until I can make affirmed contact, using the egregore power. Or using the Norse for example, but directing my intention to the celts.
I will self initiate myself as a witch, and live as a magician of their time would. I will self initiate myself as a druid, and whatever else I can find. I will try every spell and become familiar with every tree. I will note which works and what does not. For example unavailable materials with no close correspondence.
These are my general thoughts this morning.
I will petition the gods by name knowing them as much as I can, and ask them to initiate me.
Invoked several gods and goddesses for mutual knowledge.
After a short invocation, my reading schedule shall recommence.
The question in my mind is as an anthropologist piecing together an ancestry tree model.
From there, attempt connection.
If there is an undoubtable connection, then attempt communication.
Let Celtic magic flourish again.
Getting tools tomorrow. Researching and drawing out the Celtic an entry tree, reading.
Still reading.
As much as I want to be of service and help to others, and not to be rude, but I guess here is where I need to increase - my magick ability - in a short time. After all, we have a limited shelf life.
Technology is simply a tool, not the end all be all. Im moving away from a desire for Information Technology to morph into somewhere I can truly be of help to others, such as teaching. After all, that field of IT was dead to me seven years ago when I was kicked out of the industry. Fine, have the dilapitated piece of shit industry.
Education and healthcare are the only two fields of income that Im interested in now.
It doesnt mean Im anti technology, just anti Jetsons world.
So, reading and my ascension, my projects are what matter to me now, no relationships, no crap Im disinterested in. Job shift to start soon.
So, this is my sole focus atm.
Been up for several hours, coffee, weed, and reading history/literature.
Considering what Ive just read that indicates a closer tie with the Norse, Im switching to their methodology but substituting names and correspondences.
Did invoking fire pentagram using Ogmah, Brigidh, Cerridwen, Cernunnos with Dagda and appropriate grade signs, index fingers, kerubic signs.
alled on powers of the elements and visualized them and the pentagrams and the star of dagda within.
From you creator (crown) is the kingdom (feet), and the power (right shoulder), and the glory (left shoulder) forever, so mote it be.
Once I interpret them and with further reading, may find a revelation.
Still onboard with development of a Keltic Kabballah.
Invoked ten deities as up a tree.
