The old Irish lass saying: ¨Patience is virtue, try it if you can, seldom in a woman, but never in a man¨

The first comment was comic relief,  a joke,  albeit a real quote. The second short of time, the 7 brethern sheep escaping Damians slaughter house in NJ...well, it was around the same time as the 7 died in the JWs center in Ger. ..some may find it interesting. RIP. Recall that many JWs are former Prots & Catholics who were probably Baptized. The timing is interesting and the Prophecies of Pope John 23rd:
¨Occidente civile, calpestato, Tedschi sul filo, popoli schiavi.  7 Cristiani perseguitati, la Madre del  Silenzio non muore...¨
Disclosure: ¨Tedeschi¨  is an Italian word for "German" Disclosure, in the Prophecies of John 23rd it is ¨teschi¨ by adding in the letter d and e it is Germany it makes more sense and presumably there can have been tampering with the Prophecies or spelling errors. Elsewhere he writes, ¨ 7 fratelli qualcuno vi spinge alla lotta standosene nascoto...¨

Speaking of Ger. the German Bishops are acting up again. The last time they did this, a huge flood did incredible damage, in fact, the leader who was at important meeting in DC and had to cancel it and return back to Ger. and later, a Ger. Politician was caught laughing at the flood damage, allegedly corpses of babies came up with the flood (see Before its News-Babies corpses come to surface-july 30, 2021) and from the photo one can clearly ascertain that they built the homes in a dry River bed...

St. Brendans Voyage to Japan: Evidently they must have been told that the Artic NorthWest passage was free of ice in 560ad. Vincent Gaddis on page 112 to 113: Greenland and Iceland were Irish Religious communities settled long before even St. Brendan, they would have informed them of the ice free passage. However, it was not without risk, the ice could have formed back and block the access once they were in Japan...no way home, yet St. Brendan was buried in Ireland.

One of the most important features of the presence of Catholics is Wine. ``Grape-growing in Japan began in 718 AD, in Katsunuma, Yamanashi Prefecture.[2] Japan's early viticulture was based on the Koshu grape, thought to be originally from the Georgia caucasus region.`` Earlier than 718ad, it would have been late 500s, imo.
https://www.kcpinternational.com/2016/06/a-brief-history-of-japanese-wines/


``The voyages were made in curraghs described by Roman geographers as the principal boats of the British Isles. They were made of tanned oxhides stretched over Oak frames, the joints being sealed with tar. They had sails as well as oars, some were long enough to carry 20 men. They were practically unsinkable and would be capable of crossing the Ocean in stormy weather.`` Vincent Gaddis, page 112

``The Vikings pushed the Irish Celts further and further west ...ie, Norsemen arrived in Iceland and Greenland found Irish Religious colonies...the Celts settled in Newfoundland and along the St. Lawrence River...assimilated into the Alqonquin Indians`` like possibly the Hurons?...also the Iroquois Confederation that united the 5 Indian Communities was based on Relgious purposes and peace to stop warring among themselves...recall the 5 Monasteries of St. Brendan?
At any rate, St. Brendan if they could hold as many as 20 men, they would have taken 3 boats with adaption to animals and goods to barter, etc...

`Christian Ireland from its beginning lived in special awareness of the Sea, not a Sea to be feared, but stirred the imagination and drew men to seek what is beyond the far horizon.`` page 112, Vincent Gaddiss

St. Brendan made 2 great Voyages one allegedly to Florida and the Bahamas, where in both places he found Irish MOnks who had proceeded him.`

The Japanese Emperor Kimmei (540ad - 571ad) was receptive to the Irish Monks who presumably had novelities to trade and unique gifts. Thus in 571ad and the leaving of St. Brendan returning to Ireland produced an ill wind.
Most likely the persecution slowly began and Irish Monks may have been martyred as well as Japanese Converts.
The incredible book Enigmas of Civilaciones Desaparecidas, Vol II ennumerates several factors in that time period of cultural and spiritual leap forward in 600ad (Irish Monks)and again in 1200ad (Knight Templars). Any credit should go to this book, it was a series of lectures in 1973 in Madrid and Barcel. when Intellectuals were at their best, brillant scholarship! In 552ad introduction of Buddhism (page 198), and Emperor Kimmei was receptive to Buddhists but the ancient Jap. clans opposed any new novelities.

One example is the exisquiste colors used in the Horijui Temple (Irish Monks). Now recall the Book of Kells (800s) illuminated manuscipt was a sea of blue pigment colors. Well the Temple as related by the Engimas book is renowned for its innovative colors- it is as if it dropped out of the sky.

Another possible example is Poetry in Henian, they even had contests in 600s ascertain the Irish Monks influence.

Book of Kells the blue pigment color came from Afghanistan!
¨It was speculated that the illuminators' intense blue pigment derived from highly prized lapis lazuli. That would have meant a supply chain extending to Afghanistan¨

What influence did the Japanese have on Celtic art??? Reverse the equation...
https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2015-10-07-does-celtic-art-have-links-asia

¨Both Celtic and Classical art forms emerged from two continental streams of interaction, with Celtic art as the western-most expression of shape-shifting imagery found right across the steppes to the borders of China.¨

Horses and ancient Celts- practically worshipped them, but by St. Brendan´s it was toned down.
 https://www.transceltic.com/pan-celtic/horses-celtic-mythology
¨Perhaps one of the best known of the Celtic deities associated with horses is the goddess Epona. She is seen as a protector of horses, donkeys and mules. She is the only Celtic god that was also worshipped in Rome.¨

In the 1840s when 4 brothers came across on the coffin ships (one had to hide her sick baby, it is a seamens surperstition that sick babies bring bad luck, they would have thrown the baby overboard; in the 1980´s a Hungarian woman claimed that this happened to her baby so there seems to be true), they landed in Boston. The first question they asked was, ¨Ware ae the hases?¨ After alot of confusion, the locals realized they meant ¨Where are the horses?¨ They replied, go to Kentucky, so they did expect one who ended up becoming a Judge in Boston and got to know a guy named Kennedy. The one brother who went to Kentucky ended up in the Civil War fighting for the South, he eventually switched sides and fought with the North. The joke in the family was ¨Da pay was betta¨

The Ancient Celts in Ireland: Connection with Garabandal and Fatima?  Irish Calendar is the link with the Alphabet viz a viz sacred Trees.

The Greek Myths by Robert Graves, page 226, writes that the introduction Irish Alphabet utilized by the Druids Gaelics (as written by Julius Cesar), that the order of the Alphabet was probably employed by Hermes.
They utilized names of Trees corresponding to its sacredness of the tree... each constantant represents a month oof 28 days of one series of 13 that commences 2 days after the solitice hiemal:

ie.
15 April is the letter S for sauce (Willow tree)
13 May is the letter H for espino (Pine tree)
etc...
Thus, one can see that May 13th was represented by the sacred Pine tree like Garabandal. Garabandal is of Cantabria which once was part of the Basque country...Atlantis refugees. page 227- ¨demonstrated that the names of letters was taken or proven from Greece and arrived in Ireland by passage from Spain.¨

So this Calendar order came from the Basque region (Atlantis- Etruscans were the same)...

May 13th is associated with Our Lady of Fatima, hence why did Our Lady of Fatima appear  over the Oak Holm tree and not a Pine tree??

(Irish calendar June 10th is the Oak day) because the Atlantis survivors influence in Portugal was not like that in the Basq1ue-Etruscan regions. Confused yet? Read Greek Myths by Robert Graves pages 226 to 228.

[Guapo]

Hiberia (Latin name for Ireland) and Iberia (Greek & Latin name for Spain from the River Ebro, ¨Iberus¨) are the same origin! Hiberia came from Iberia. Greek Myths by Robert Graves alludes to the Irish Alphabet came from Greece to Ireland through Spain (Iberia).
(Disclosure: Historians will negate this Hiberia and Iberia origin:ie. Oxford Companion to Engl. Lit.: Hiberia is from Ptolemy´s ¨Ioveprvia¨ a corruption of ¨Iverna¨ ...Celtic whence Celtic word for Erin is derived...Claudia used the word from ¨Ierne¨)

Clealy, travel and commerce between Iberia (ie. Galica- even Gael may have derived from Galacia) was more common in Ancient times than they care to admit, boats were coming and going to Hiberia from Iberia it was given that name!

Regarding the Irish Calendar that came to Ireland from Iberia...indicates the importance and sacredness of the Pine Tree to the ancient Celts. Regurgitate again that the Calendar ¨Represents 28 day month in a series of 13, beginning 2 days after the winter soltice.¨ It begins on December 24th with the constanant letter B that represents the Birch tree. The ancient Irish alphabet is called Beth-luis-noin (Birch-Rowan-ash)...interesting that Birch (and wild olive tree) are the chosen sacred trees for ¨Beth¨- Bethlehem = House of Bread. The calendar ends on November 25 the R letter denotes the Cider tree or myrtle tree. In the Spanish version, the Pine Tree is ¨Espino¨ can mean es-pino (pine)---May 13th representing the letter H. The common denominator is that this Alphabet was used by the Celts in Iberia first and brought to Ireland (Hiberia) it is interesting that Garabandal is all about the Pine tree from whence the Miracle is to take place is placed on May 13th in the Calendar, or could be just a coincidence.

Did St. Brendan name one of the 5 Monasteries after Pope Agapetus I?

Pope Agapetus I, elected on May 13th, 535

https://www.britannica.com/biography/Saint-Agapetus-I

https://www.catholicity.com/encyclopedia/a/agapetus_i,pope_saint.html

Like Pope Hormidas he fought the heresy of Monotheism. Famous reply to Emperor Justinian
¨Agapetus replied with spirit: "With eager longing have I come to gaze upon the Most Christian Emperor Justinian. In his place I find a Diocletian, whose threats, however, terrify me not." This intrepid language made Justinian pause¨

He absolutely refused laymen to preach and refused to raise Arian pentitents to the clerical offices.

Like Pope Hormidas, it is possible that N- AGASA-ki is named after AGAPetus, it is a bit of a stretch, but if so, it reveals that the Irish Church was well aware of the Heresies of ie. Monosthesism (Pope Agapetus anathematized Monothesists heretics).

N-AGASA-ki- would be the 5th site of the 5 Irish Monasteries founded by St. Brendan in Japan? Perhaps somewhere else in Japan with a name similiar to Agapetus, ie Y-amagata...

Henian, Japan is named after St. Finian. One of the 5 Monasteries founded by St. Brendan in Japan.

St. Finian (or Finnian) was the renowned Biblical Scholar and teacher of Saints who taught St. Brendan the Voyager and other Saints such as St. Columba and St. Kiernan. Hence, St. Brendan would most certaintly have named a place after him. Famous teacher that the ¨Twelve Apostles of Ireland studied under him.¨


https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=3368
 

Henian was renowned for its Poetry in the 600s and Poetry contests. Evidently the Irish Monks in Henian in all probability taught the Poetry in the form of a school. Henian became the center of Politics and culture after it was moved from Nara in the 700s until 1100s when it was moved again.
Henian ¨Kyo¨ is what it is called in the full name, the ¨Kyo¨ could be from ¨Clo¨- Clonard that St. Finian is known for founding the famous MOnastery.

The Celts (generalized term for the tribes) originated could very well be from Iberia- original base of the Atlantis refugees that broke up into various Tribes, ie. Etruscans and Basques, etc...

The Druidic Priesthood (recall that Druids were named after the Druze) ¨were experts in mathematics and astronomy¨ both for ¨religious rituals.¨
Micropedia, Great Civilations by Brenda Ralph Lewis. There is a historical site in Iberia that they used a Ritual Baths like in Egypt, Sumeria and Indus Valley. Brenda Lewis ascerts that the Celts, ¨Believed the soul was immortal¨ and death of the body was a struggle, they believed in the Final Judgement, Day of the Flood and that fire will destroy the world and interestingly she relates that the Celtic Spiral is the ¨eye of the sun in movement¨ They had great reverence for the deities, they endured in valor, in fact, they aspired to noble acts. Brenda Lewis questions if they commited human sacrifices, ¨reputed human sacrifices and adds ¨their reputation for offering human sacrifices may be speculative¨- page 70. The Celts did behead prisoners of wars, but so did Charlemagne.

The Celts were unusually tall, muscular and made for war. (G.K. Chesterton said ¨For all their wars are merry And all their songs are sad.¨). They would even fight naked (like the American Native Indians...similar qualities).
The Romans were afraid of them,...so Julius Cesar sent the traders to them and plied them with wine (they like the Indians just succumbed). Regarding the offering of human sacrifice, Tom Knox said in The Secrets of the Garden that the WW 1 trenches (Hidenburg line) was where the Celts offered human sacrifice. Tom Knox also wrote the Marks of Cain about the Basques- an old heresy that Serpent and Eve formed a line of their own with Cain as the offspring rejected by the Church Fathers. In truth, the Celts were probably a little of everything.

What is interesting is the link between the Etruscans and the Celts. The Celts used a 2 edge sword decorated in Etruscan style. They mined the Swiss Alps and in Austria, presumably the Etruscans showed them. They traded with Greece in tin, amber and copper. They invented or developed the swing plow, used iron technology even in buildings, farmed and corrected poor soils, traded surplus in ceraels, salt, bartered gold, furs and Mirrors, skilled in metalwork in gold and bronze, wood carvings craftmans (ie. Horijui Temple in Japan), and bronzed coinage and Celtic texts. They introduced Compasses, potters wheel, and rotary millstones. Apparently the Etruscans were the ones who helped the Celts raise the standard.

(Pere Lamy in the Tan book published it relates that he once had a cyclist hurling towards him and his Guardian Angel intervened and the cyclist flew over his head and landed back on the bicycle. https://thecatacombs.org/archive/index.php?thread-3386.html)

Returning to St. Brendan´s and the 60 Irish Monks voyage to Japan: 2 names one was Terry (creator of the bronze Trinity statue) and another is Colman. St. Colman was baptized by St. Brendan at age 50, late in life.
St. Colman of Cloyne. He was a renowned Poet and royal Bard.

https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=342
St. Colman- as Poet of Ireland and Japan
... ¨credited with extraordinary poetic powers, being styled by his contemporaries 'royal poet of Munster'. Several of his Irish poems are still extant, notably a metrical panegyric on Saint Brendan....¨

¨During the time of the coronation Colman and some others discovered the lost shrine of Ailbhe of Emly. Brendan said that it was not right that the hands which had held this sacred relic should be defiled henceforth, thus it was that the son of Leinin offered himself to God. Brendan blessed him and gave him the name Colmán,...¨

Now in Japan circa 570ad was a school of poetry opened up. Evidently Colman must may been one of the 60 Monks that arrived to Japan. It appears he may have eventually returned back to Ireland, perhaps with St. Brendan because it is said that he later became Bishop (he was older than the rest anyways).

In Japan, the most important ancient Poetry collection is called ¨KoKinshu¨- phonetically speaking similiar to Col- Man = Ko Kin...

¨He died on 24 November (his subsequent feastday), circa 600, and his probable place of burial is Cloyne, where he may have left a school of poetry in existence ¨ and in Henian, Japan too?

page 214 of Engimas de Las Civilzaciones Disparaecidas, vol II
¨la obrad mas importante de poesia antiguas en la colleccion viente¨ 20 volumes of poetry collected and compiled in 922ad- given the name Ko Kin shu in Henian, Kyo---even Kyo could be a version of Cloyne!

Brother Zeno as he was called took in orphans after the Nagasaki horror. St Kolbe had built the Monastery on  the other side of Nagasaki which was fortuitous in that the hill protected the Monastery which became later a home for the orphans.

Bro. Zeno...¨In April 1947, the orphanage, known as the Garden of the Knights of the Immaculate (Seibo no Kishien in Japanese), already had 300 children¨

https://saintmaximiliankolbe.com/photo-gallery/

Ironically it may have been the Zeno map and the Venetian crew that brought the Templars to Japan in 1100s undoubtedly one of them was named Zeno.

Some of the Irish Monks that stayed may have been martyred and their Japenese converts. As for the Templars, no, they probably left or exiled not martyred since being the founders of the Samurai were held in awe and feared. Most likely though the Templar converts amongst the Japanese were probably persecuted after they left Japan. Japan is tied to the West from the beginning, not China...too often China is credited with things they dont deserve. Diplomatic relations between Japan and the ancient Chinese court did not take place for centuries so why are they credited with the art, literature, poetry, metal work, in 600s and 1200s- when it was the West, the Irish Monks and Templars that should be given credit.

ie. page 225, Engimas ...the first sculpture japanese ¨Cuya tecnica es deriva de la China fue de inspìracion religiosa, ...¨  It goes on to say that Tori Bushi was a Chinese emigrant when Tori is Terry, an Irish Monk who sculpted the famous bronze, called Trinity! No, it was not China...it was China that attacked Japan in ancient times....see Latin Mass Magazine article on Japan by Professor Diane Mozcar (posted on another thread).  It does not make any sense that Mongolia attacked Japan in late 1200s, it was as a combo of Korea and Chinese ships destroyed on August 14th the Feastday of St. Kolbe and they left Japan sea for good on August 15th the Feastday of the Our Ladys Assumption to Heaven.

https://endtimesand2019.wordpress.com/2018/08/11/the-old-worlds-bronze-age-copper-was-mined-in-michigan/

along the Great Lakes from Michigan stretching 120 miles to Wisconsin are ancient copper mines or pits.

Many groups came and exploited them. One of the bigger miners was the Romans. It was the Romans who took most of the copper. They used Celtic slaves and than subsequently left them there in N. America. Vincent Gaddis in his book, American Indians myths and Mysteries writes that these copper pìts were deep. The Celts were left behind just like the Egyptians who employed them as mercenaries in Egypt and than left them on a deserted island to die. The Celts at least became part of what was later called the Iroquois and Hurons, etc...it also explains the ¨sacred horse¨ and why horses were so prevalent in mid America.

¨In south Ohio was found a draft furnace of a type invented by the Hittites around 2000bc and was used to 1300ad.¨page 115 in Vincent Gaddis´s book on Indians.

[Guapo]

In 390 BC Rome was sacked by Celtic Gaul tribe. One of the reasons must have been that the Celtic slaves did not return with the ships. Knowing the Romans there were probably a list of reasons Rome was sackedl. By that time, Rome was no longer in Etruscans hands but Romans. The Romans had to pay a ransom to get them to leave the city and subsequently built a Wall around Rome. Therefore, the incredible copper mining operation of the Romans in the Great Lakes was done around 400bc. Vincent Gaddis purports that a massive amount of copper was taken, 46 tons of copper.
pages 114- American Book of Indians.

The Celts were left behind perhaps 150 to 200 men?? ...there must have been dozens or more Roman ships going back and forth. Egypt needed copper and lots of it (more later) so trading was advantegeous to Rome.

What happened to the Celts slaves who were abandoned by the Romans?

They formed the famous burial mounds society in Ohio. William Brandon in the American Heritage book of Indians labels them the ¨Hopewell¨ tribe. They became the forefathers of 3 main branches of languages stemmed from them:
Algonquian, Iroquian and Siouan. Indeed the mid Atlantic to MidWest to Northern tribes were of Celtic Gaul heritage. Hurons for example had elaborate burial mounds. Almost 2000 years later, the French Jesuits would try to evangelize these tribes...ironically their descendants of the Gauls! page 149- William Brandon, ¨Hurons practiced elaborate mass burial cermonies¨

http://touringohio.com/history/hopewell-indian-mounds.html


Oddly enough, when the European settlers arrived in the 1500s, the Ohio Valley (south) to West Virginia to Kentucky was not utilized by the Native Indians. Perhaps out of respect for their ancenstors, the Burial Mounds are still there. https://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/hopewell/who_were_hopewell.html

page 149- William Brandon, ¨Many lived in long barracks like multi family houses in single family huts and poles and wattle much like the wild Irish¨ said a New Englander in 1620ad.¨The ancient Celts lived in those burial mounds (misnamed).

The burial Mound Hopewell Celts traded in copper... pottery making farmers and traders...Brandon alludes to this,
page 132, ¨the people of some 2000 years ago built great burial grounds, extensive earthwork systems ...traded in metals...and made objects of a high order to everything from wood and mica to copper...in the centuries from 400bc to 400ad¨

Not all the 1000s of tribes stem from them in N. America, plenty of evidence of later Mayan influence including the death cult of skulls in S.West. and their myths about ¨the world of first Elder and a younger brother, or the first mother pregnant by a snake, who is a feature of so many widely seperated New World Genesis accounts.¨ page 134 Brandon.


page 148- ¨From the time of the Old Copper people on the shores of Lake Superior ...they used wild plants with the magic cantations... trade networks appeared from the Rockies to Ohio, tobacco from Virginia to St. Lawerence River, copper from the Canadian border to North Carolina....¨In the state of Georgia was found ancient exquisite copper figures and jewerly that they assumed came from the Incas, 5000 miles away... they came from Ohio.

Later the copper mines were abandoned (they also excavated coal) and wild rice or green rice was harvested by the Celtic Indians in the Great Lakes region.

https://www.celticjewelry.com/celtic-culture/throwing-rice/

 ¨In ancient times, Celts often made offering to various spirits of place for appeasement, for bounty and for favor. There was widely held belief that malevolent spirits would attend weddings to sap off the energies of the people present; and to try and jinx the future of the happy couple out of greed, jealousy or envy.¨

The medicine men became the Druidic priests (sages or wisemen in Europe held the Celts together)in the Americas

Japan:

Heaven sent its best Evangelizers to Japan. St Brendan and 60 monks (future Saints and martyrs among them), Knight Templars, Jesuits (St. Francis Xavier), St. MaX. Kolbe and Bro. Zeno. Presumably St. Brendan was not the first Missionary to Japan there were probably a few others.

Velez is a small village and did not have a fire extinguisher like most processions have one handy...3 men tried to put the fire out, it was surreal and perhaps demonic.
The Bishop should consider doing an exorcism in Velez...lots of wierd things and tragedies this past year if you google it. Or the Bishop should send someone, something black is in Velez, imo. Yet both events the slooooow lights in the sky and this happened around the same time.

St. Brendan´s Voyage relates that he was already 70 years old. Thus that would place his Voyage to about 557ad to 560 ad, imo.
http://www.celtic-irish.co.uk/resources/art-and-culture/the-voyage-of-saint-brendan/
¨Saint Brendan's most famous voyage was 'to the west'. According to tradition, he was in his seventies¨

The article purports Irish language stone carvings...the Gual Celts -Gual (France) and Gael (Ireland) are virtually the same just as Hiberia and Iberia. The sea routes to Ireland from Gaul and Iberia were used extensively and perhaps some of the 100s of slaves were of Irish Celt origin?
 ¨Stone carvings using the old-Irish Ogham alphabet have been discovered in West Virginia¨ 

¨Native American (Shawano) tradition tells of a story when a white tribe with iron implements inhabited Florida.¨

One cold day in the mid to late 1800s a group of Native Indians asked for shelter from the cold to my forefathers werent many houses in those days and so they sheltered them for the rest of the winter. One of them became a firefighter but in those days they were called ¨smoke-eaters¨ His firehelmet had a gold layer painted on the outside of it and a small diamond- to locate them in the smoke. If you think the film, Gangs of New York, with the firefighters often doing more brawling than putting out fires. Well it is not far from the truth. He was a good boxer who often had to knock down anyone trying to go back into a burning house to save some thing, he was known to deck a wild out of control horse and later when the famous boxer Sullivan heard about him, he challenged him to a fight and beat him. Sullivan high talled it out of town asap. Celtic spirit as one father use to say to his children at the end of the day, ¨have you done anything noble today?¨

Decades ago, one firefighter book claimed that during the Civil War when NYC went into rebellion over the enlisting the Irish in particular, they brought up the Northern Troops.  The book relates the account of one soldier in the NYC ghetto, ¨sot the mic, the b! (wife) and the kid¨ It was horrible.
