Searles, you would have to be physically present to copy Yeats'
unpublished work in Dublin, longhand for yourself, as it is not
allowed to copy them for fear of heat damage. Next best thing you
could do is buy a copy of his book "A VIsion" and work out his system
of Gyres contained therein. I eam it - Yeats' handwriting is so
terrible that it's hardly possible to make it out even with a
magnifying glass, as I tried. But if you Google, Yeats/Celtic Order of
Mysteries, you should get most of it. From long and hard study of the
period over the years, it seems as if AE George Russell is the CHief
and not Yeats. Yeats rewrote the entire "A Vision" because AE
registered his displeasure with the first edition, to satisfy AE, to
me that speaks volumes ! Darrell Figgis wrote a contemporary hero-
worshipping biography of AE which speaks even more volumes in stating
that all these men, himself included, Yeats too, looked to AE who was
their undisputed leader ! It is hard for anybody these days to get a
reader's ticket to the reading room of the National Library of Ireland
where Yeats' - and even then Yeats' unpublished manuscripts are not
held there ! I had to have an appointment and interview with the
Librarian-in-Command to put to her my request, and even then I was
lucky that I am a Member of the National Library since the time I was
a young Executive Officer in the Irish Civil Service back in 1964/65,
that counted - and she checked that up to ! She herself, a fabulous-
looking but very self-possessed lady has published a slim volume with
old photographs of Yeats and his times, so she is really possessive
and protective of his works under her guardianship, understandably
so ! To be frank, I was over-awed by that lady, she has a powerful
presence, almost like a goddess herself ! I walked away down Kildare
Street in Dublin, after she had finally granted my request, wondering
if she is !!!
Cheers, Michael .
PS: I see you got 10 marks out of 10, congratulations ! As you see I
only got 6, but compared to others, I am quite happy with that. Seems
I have some way to go to catch up with you !!! |

Zou probably mean by the way not bye the way and the spelling
"zilliness" has been established as a tongue in cheek years ago.

Names and nicks / names n'nicks / names & nicks / names/nicks

Searles, I feel that if you make a request through the library of an
established university in the USA and pay whatever fees (which would
be small enough), the National Library of Ireland would provide one of
their copiers to sit down and copy longhand, as I did (took me almost
a week at their desk in a reserved room of the library to do it).
Even then, I could not decipher several words, phrases and sentences
in his unpublished works held there. I must get up my attic, search my
archived notes out, and get back to you - right now my house is topsy-
turvy as I have the decorators and wallpaperers in to apply some
finishing touches. I shall be meeting some colleagues in Trinity
College Dublin, who would have influence with the National Library up
the road from them, at a social afternoon in the University of Dublin
(founded by Elizabeth the Great in 1592, two years before Columbus
discovered you lot !) and acquaint them with your desire (I usually
get my way in such circles here). Cheers, Michael.
(Trinity is, it appears to me, highly receptive of Druids of Style and
Substance, so my request on your behalf should be successful - the
National Library would not dare refuse TCD, nobody does ! My personal
friend and colleague, Dr. Thomas Daffern, the Peace Druid, was
provided with rooms in Trinity by the University last May for most
stimulating lectures from himself and his Order of Peace Druids.
Thomas, who is Ph.D in Philosophy and former Head of the Institute of
Peace Studies and Global Philosophy of the University of London (Gower
Street campus), actually slept, and in the rain too, on the Hill of
Tara for a week back in 1997 and joined as one of the Presiders over
our ODI MIdsummer Dawn Ceremonial there. He is at present concerning
himself and his Order with Peace Conflict on the spot (or spots)
throughout Israel.). |

I believe it's an Italian phrase, Ciao would mean, "Bye", "Stronzo"
might be a circus strongman, I don't know. It's not Irish, 1X2 Willows
(Dan Felber) is a Swiss-German who hints that he is a descendant of
the Gaulish Celtic tribe, the Helvettii - even Einstein would be hard
put to work that one out ! But Dan bends gravity  He is now
writhing and twisting out of your grip, though you do honestly have a
good objective here that I can appreciate, to get ARD back on track as
a decent place to discuss Druidry. Archdruid Melvyn Lloyd of the
Hibernian Order of Druids (HOOD) actually forecasts to me here that
this will happen - maybe you are the instrument, who knows ? Your
marks out of Ten is a great idea from one who is obviously
independent, new, fresh. (I hope I never get 0 though, please...)
(I believe in feeding everybody, even trolls ! LOL . I've been feeding
people all my life, not only here in Ireland, but in working as a
Deputy to the King of the Hippies Sid Rawle back in 1974 in London,
when we helped every head we could from our 500-house squat in Chalk
Farm, "Hippy Valley", London NW5.. We ran a free store, opened up and
done up old houses for the homeless, moved families into shelter,
pestered the cops on behalf of the Free, Camden Council et al on their
behalf, ran BIT Information Service from our Offices over near the
Harrow Road, and published such fabulous guides (free) such as
"Overland to India and Back", "Overland to Africa" etc by heads who
had actually done the trips. Being a Hippy wasn't all laziness as the
propaganda goes, Sid had little time for sleep such was his work
overload - and I was on duty one fab summer's evening when the phone
rang and a voice I instantly recognised told me to tell Sid that he
had just bank-transferred fourteen thousand dollars towards our work -
it was John Lennon phoning from New York ! I was bowled over as he
asked me, "What's a fellow Paddy doing among all those London gits ? "

Mysteries, you should get most of it. From long and hard study of the
period over the years, it seems as if AE George Russell is the CHief
and not Yeats. Yeats rewrote the entire "A Vision" because AE
registered his displeasure with the first edition, to satisfy AE, to
me that speaks volumes ! Darrell Figgis wrote a contemporary hero-
worshipping biography of AE which speaks even more volumes in stating
that all these men, himself included, Yeats too, looked to AE who was
their undisputed leader ! It is hard for anybody these days to get a
reader's ticket to the reading room of the National Library of Ireland
where Yeats' - and even then Yeats' unpublished manuscripts are not
held there ! I had to have an appointment and interview with the
Librarian-in-Command to put to her my request, and even then I was
lucky that I am a Member of the National Library since the time I was
a young Executive Officer in the Irish Civil Service back in 1964/65,
that counted - and she checked that up to ! She herself, a fabulous-
looking but very self-possessed lady has published a slim volume with
old photographs of Yeats and his times, so she is really possessive
and protective of his works under her guardianship, understandably
so ! To be frank, I was over-awed by that lady, she has a powerful
presence, almost like a goddess herself ! I walked away down Kildare
Street in Dublin, after she had finally granted my request, wondering
if she is !!!
Cheers, Michael .

(I believe in feeding everybody, even trolls ! LOL . I've been feeding
people all my life, not only here in Ireland, but in working as a
Deputy to the King of the Hippies Sid Rawle back in 1974 in London,
when we helped every head we could from our 500-house squat in Chalk
Farm, "Hippy Valley", London NW5.. We ran a free store, opened up and
done up old houses for the homeless, moved families into shelter,
pestered the cops on behalf of the Free, Camden Council et al on their
behalf, ran BIT Information Service from our Offices over near the
Harrow Road, and published such fabulous guides (free) such as
"Overland to India and Back", "Overland to Africa" etc by heads who
had actually done the trips. Being a Hippy wasn't all laziness as the
propaganda goes, Sid had little time for sleep such was his work
overload - and I was on duty one fab summer's evening when the phone
rang and a voice I instantly recognised told me to tell Sid that he
had just bank-transferred fourteen thousand dollars towards our work -
it was John Lennon phoning from New York ! I was bowled over as he
asked me, "What's a fellow Paddy doing among all those London gits ? "

Sid Rawle actually led contingents of Hippies through the mid-Eighties
to fight for the freedom of all to worship at Stonehenge, when he
teamed up with Wally Hope, leading "The Wallies" long after I had
returned to Ireland I was staggered to see Sid's face, bloodied in the
battle, denounce "Police Brutality" against the Stonehenge
Demonstrators right up on my TV screen over BBC TV. These days Sid
helps run Rainbow Circle in Wales. One Goof Fellow, Sid, always
admired in those days by Beatles, Rolling Stones etc etc - I was
meeting pop stars and celebs daily. chatting away to them on Sid's
phone, as if it was the most natural thing in the world !!! And talk
about Democracy - Sid was elected by 40,000 cheering followers at the
height of that famous Free Concert led by Mick Jagger and the Rolling
Stones in Hyde Park, London, 1969. Sid is ten years older than me and
became my mentor at the time, and though originally from Plymouth in
England, he always loved to surround himself with, guess what,
Paddys !
John Lennon and Yoko Ono had given him Dornish Island for a Hippy
Colony, John reckoning that if any species could survive there a Hippy
could ! It's a virtually uninhabitable island off the west coast of
Ireland in CLew Bay off Mayo. This business was concluded between John
and Sid a few years before we met. Sid regaled me with funny tales of
their travel there and back, across Ireland. One particularly sticks
out in my memory.
When Sid and his convoy of Hippies arrived up at Liverpool to embark
for Ireland and their appointed Dornish Island home, the Liverpool
Police stripped their vehicles right down to the last screw - and when
they arrived in Ireland at Dublin, the exact process was repeated
over again by the Irish Police (Garda). Sid asked the Garda in
frustration: "Do ye think we picked up dope plants we're growing in
the Irish Sea on the way over, why don't you just phone across to the
Liverpool cops and clear us ? "
"Ah sure they might have missed something, they're English you know,
Holy Innocents, they don't know you like we do ! " came the typically
Irish reply from a Garda Inspector, who had only met Sid and his
people a couple of minutes beforehand. Those were the days, and yes,
we thought they'd never end.
BTW Yoko, who has offered the island for free, for years now, to
anybody with a good cause, has received no worthy replies, so I think
she is now finally disposing of it. Pity... |

Yeats was a Theosophist and Hermeticist, took elements both of those
systems and combined them with Celtic (oh, Gods! there's "that" word
again for you to yap about) Myth to assemble his system.
Mind you, I've personally no problem with him or anyone else doing
that. Just no one should try and pass it off as "Ancient Druidry". |

Kent, we Druids of Ireland do not "pass off" anything., we do not have
to ! And we do not have to pretend to be Gaelic, we are !!! If anybody
has invented a shoal of stuff it's you Yanks, by the lorryload.
Yeats is a giant in the land. Yes, I could criticise Yeats, anybody
could, for being this and that, anybody can. For instance he was anglo-
Irish, not completely Irish but of the minor British Ascendancy,
that's how he got his start in literature, they ran literary london of
his time, and his favourite uncle George Pollexfen was a Freemason -
most London UK publishers are Freemasons today who publish books by
fellow Freemasons such as Philip Carr-Gom. Not Philip, but the
greatest reseller of horse shyte today is your Isaac Bonewitz, he
produces it by the slovel-full and you lot gorge on every lump of it !
And, Kent, we have no offering from you as to who you are, whether
Gaelic or not, who your mentor/s are, what your training in Druidry is
etc etc - and nobody else seems to have a clue about you either beyond
the fact that you are one of the best foot soldiers that the
Freemasons have here on Usenet to protect their rotten interests and
attack those of us who question their ongoing attempt to take over
modern Druidry which is now resisted with every breath we take by
millions of the Irish here in Ireland, UK and the massively
influential Irish-American population riight across the USA, and we
shall always and ever resist Freemasonery to the end of time, we
Irish, the first to take on the might of the Freemasonic British
Empire (after the USA) and defeat them, will never allow Freemasonery
to stalk the fair land of Ireland ever again ! The Irish of all
religions and none (except Anglicans here) are dedicated to this great
battle with the most evil enemy Ireland and the Irish have ever had -
Freemasonery ! Never again will they be allowed to rise in Ireland,
and as it is we almost have them beaten back into the sea. So all the
old shyte you are shatting here has absolutely no effect whatsoever,
you are just wasting your evil breath - wake up and smell the
stench !!!
And all you have ever got to back you up here are the terrible twins
Dan Willows Felber the Swiss-German (a Mason) and also that poor
unfortunate Ph.D. Delusionary Noinden, Noeey Boy on a green card from
New Zealand, probably forged like Dan's.
And how can you say what Druidry is not when you haven't a clue about
what it is |

I was not criticizing Yeats, not in the least. It took imagination,
hard work and research to come up with what he did with the
combination of factors I mentioned, quite an honorable endeavor. I
didn't deride the man for anything and was merely stating known facts.
As I've stated here before, I'm not a fan of Bonewitz but I do
recognize the effort of what he has done.
AD Carr-Gomm of the OBOD is a well known, well respected man today.

Incorrect. You just cannot see what is right before you. You and I
have conversed in other places than this usenet group. You have my e-
mail address (other than the one listed here) and could send me an e-
mail at any given time. It's just a matter of simple math completely
eluding you and being able to come up with the sum of 1+1.
There are indeed others who know me and of me.

Your facts are entirely incorrect. Once again, I will plainly state
that I am not a Freemason.

Does one have to know the taste of a bottle of Chateau Rothschilds to

Don't be so zilly Then again...As You have claimed in the past to
have, "just" realized the"zillyness" of what "you" have said.
My advice would be to think before you waffle.
Many well known and respected authors from the past, and some that
are alive now, have appalling spelling skills.
Thats why they use proof readers on the documents before printing.
oh bye the way for your own future reference its spelt "silliness".
I realise you are concerned re my spelling of names, and overjoyed
because you think that i am bothered by
your observation. Well i am not, you plainly understood my post and
that's good enough for me.

PS we call them nicknames, but as I love the way you switched it
around, i think i will be using the term "namenicks" in future as i
find it very amusing, thanks.- Hide quoted text -

Not to worry, Einstein's spelling wasn't all that great either
And Yeats' handwriting is virtually indechipherable, I know, I held
his papers concerning The Celtic Order of Mysteries, never published,
so I had and have first access to his mystic writings, the only Druid
who has. !- Hide quoted text -

I'd be interested in hearing excerpts from this unpublished work by Yeats.

Searles, you would have to be physically present to copy Yeats'
unpublished work in Dublin, longhand for yourself, as it is not
allowed to copy them for fear of heat damage. Next best thing you
could do is buy a copy of his book "A VIsion" and work out his system
of Gyres contained therein. I eam it - Yeats' handwriting is so
terrible that it's hardly possible to make it out even with a
magnifying glass, as I tried. But if you Google, Yeats/Celtic Order of
Mysteries, you should get most of it. From long and hard study of the
period over the years, it seems as if AE George Russell is the CHief
and not Yeats. Yeats rewrote the entire "A Vision" because AE
registered his displeasure with the first edition, to satisfy AE, to
me that speaks volumes ! Darrell Figgis wrote a contemporary hero-
worshipping biography of AE which speaks even more volumes in stating
that all these men, himself included, Yeats too, looked to AE who was
their undisputed leader ! It is hard for anybody these days to get a
reader's ticket to the reading room of the National Library of Ireland
where Yeats' - and even then Yeats' unpublished manuscripts are not
held there ! I had to have an appointment and interview with the
Librarian-in-Command to put to her my request, and even then I was
lucky that I am a Member of the National Library since the time I was
a young Executive Officer in the Irish Civil Service back in 1964/65,
that counted - and she checked that up to ! She herself, a fabulous-
looking but very self-possessed lady has published a slim volume with
old photographs of Yeats and his times, so she is really possessive
and protective of his works under her guardianship, understandably
so ! To be frank, I was over-awed by that lady, she has a powerful
presence, almost like a goddess herself ! I walked away down Kildare
Street in Dublin, after she had finally granted my request, wondering
if she is !!!
Cheers, Michael .
PS: I see you got 10 marks out of 10, congratulations ! As you see I
only got 6, but compared to others, I am quite happy with that. Seems
I have some way to go to catch up with you !!!- Hide quoted text -

Yeats was a Theosophist and Hermeticist, took elements both of those
systems and combined them with Celtic (oh, Gods! there's "that" word
again for you to yap about) Myth to assemble his system.
Mind you, I've personally no problem with him or anyone else doing
that. Just no one should try and pass it off as "Ancient Druidry".- Hide quoted text -

Kent, we Druids of Ireland do not "pass off" anything., we do not have
to ! And we do not have to pretend to be Gaelic, we are !!! If anybody
has invented a shoal of stuff it's you Yanks, by the lorryload.
Yeats is a giant in the land. Yes, I could criticise Yeats, anybody
could, for being this and that, anybody can. For instance he was anglo-
Irish, not completely Irish but of the minor British Ascendancy,
