The Lost Magic of Christianity: Celtic Essene Connections

The Lost Magic of Christianity: Celtic Essene Connections by Poynder, Michael. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780953663101.

To revive the lost nature wisdom of the ancient Celts, Michael Poynder examines the fundamentals of Celtic history and culture: * How the first of the Essene Christians came to Britain in AD 36 * How they found common ground with the Celtic Druids. * How that commonality goes back to the neolithic seers who amplified natural forces by positioning stones in sacred geometric relationships. Ancient Celtic metaphysics, with its roots in both East and West, encompassed knowledge of * How natural energy flows, as perserved in Celtic knotwork * How chakras can be used for pendulum dowsing * How crystal geometry influenced early Irish architecture and astronomy This sophisticated tuning into nature, so basic to the Druids and Celtic Christians, was eventually debased by the patriarchal priesthood of the Church of Rome. The magical traditions went underground, the memories relegated to folklore and deep within the spirit of a suppressed people. But the magic is not all lost! Poynder guides individual readers to discover these truths for themselves, in the tradition of the shamans and wise elders. His fresh look at our ancient heritage suggests more pieces of the puzzle that we can put in place: He discusses our pre-Christian ancestors, vibrant seers, healers, and magicians; and he unlocks the secrets of Stone Age and Bronze Age metaphysics that influenced the Gnostic practices of early priesthood.
