    Somewhere in Carlow, Ireland there might be a grave with my name on it. Apparently I died in 1730 . Much fraternization has occurred since. Even without internet . Which they never could have anticipated. Victoria really shook up the gene pool and then stirred. Maternal half is French/ Welsh grandparents.

    Were there any works, writings, books, or poems that were specifically named or written as "fiction" or "sci-fi" writings at that time or within recorded history of the time? Anything at all? If not, then I would read them as fact. And I would try to understand the differences of thinking & writing from their time and of ours. Like the Greeks, Romans, Persions, etc. all had writing telling of a time when the gods came down and lay with mankinds women.

    these excerts are clearly written by someone claiming rank over 'the peasants' . ireland is a funny place where many appear scared of their own shadows and others are stout of heart. we were told that be careful of some irish by a museum security guard in Dublin, 'they smile to your face yet will think nothing of sticking a knife in your back.' i can safely say that on social media some irish do indeed fit this description and try to dob you into authorities if they believe you to be doing something wrong. a 105 year old irish sheep farmer told us whilst we visited him 'some people like to make the news' -mainly because they have little going on in their lives? we offered.. which was met with a smile.

    I did an exhaustive deep-dive on where my surname originated by tracing my family tree as far back as records exist. It started out as O HInneirghe. Then it went from Henryson to Henderson to McHenry and MacHenry and eventually just Henry. The different iterations came about from different regions, times, and preferences. It even flip-flopped a few times by ancestors reclaiming an earlier version. If your people came from northeast Ireland and have any of the above mentioned surnames, we're probably cousins.

    Generally informative but there were some surprising problems with this. The biggest is the assumption that the Gae Bolgae and the spear of assail are the same. It's possible but I don't believe that to be the case. The spear of fury, Lughs spear Is a solar manifestation. Cu Chullains Gae Bolga Is used in the water and hurled by the foot. Opposite of a solar manifestation. There are Other errors throughout.

    Perhaps it has something to do with an ancestor being commissioned by Saint Patrick to take the Gospel to the Vikings of Iceland hence the Westerman Isles off the sw coast that in my twenties experiencing a vision of Mother Mary. She was dressed head to foot in Emerald Green denoting to me that She is Irish, a Vestal Virgin at of the Temple of Tara and shared with me Her deep love and great passion for Wales where i now stand as Archdruid having studied and practiced shamanism for over five decades. She asked me to study theology at Saint David's University College where i met Lady Montgomery, herself a shaman, whose father Lord John Joseph Redmond blew up Lord Mountbatten for breaking his word and appointed me Field Marshal of the Redmonite Republicans. I onced walked from Cardiff to the Vatican where i was so disgusted by the opulence declared war by wiping my feet at the top of the steps at St Peter's. A few years later i bumped into Pope JP2 in Cardiff and gave him a peace of my mind and was incarcerated for conspiracy (to take over the world in the name of Jesus lol) where i met Jesus who introduced me to the Father who asked me if i would like to work for Him. In doing so i have found the returned Christ Yahweh-Jesus Brian Leonard Golightly-Marshall of Arthurian descent. Pope Benedict has credited King Brian 1st of GB&E as the second coming in his IN CHRISTUM CREDUNT but hours before being due to go public live on national Italian tv he was beaten up and deposed by the anti-christ Francis. To take a line or two from the 'Whitehats', Nothing Can Stop What is Coming and Future Proves Past, if our future is to be secured it must be firmly seated in our culture from the past, remembering that is was the female line of King David who found refuge in Eire 600BC bringing the Essene religion of Grove Worship honouring the God in the menhir and the Goddess in the Ash(era) providing Eire and later Wales with the Druid and its wise council. Peace and Love Saint John.
