Journey Of Remembrance
Introduction
đ Celtic Rainbows â Journey of Remembrance
âAll that was scattered now returns.â
Come close now,
gather round the hearth of memory.
Let the winds hush,
the world slow,
and your soul lean gently in.
This is no ordinary book.
It is a remembering.
Not of facts or dates,
but of something older,
a truth that lived in the bones of your ancestors
and still whispers in your dreams.
â°
We are the children of the mirror,
the divine Femanine and masculine.
Born of light and shadow,
woven through time like threads of gold and sorrow.
Ours is not a tale of conquest or empire,
but of seeds,
scattered on the wind
and waiting to bloom again.
This is the journey of Ăire,
but not as told by the conquerors.
This is the song beneath the silence,
the heartbeat of the land,
the voice of the river,
the cry of the child who still remembers.
Before Ireland was Ireland,
before empire cast its long shadow,
there were the Builders,
and protectors of the land.
Keepers of balance.
Watchers of stars.
Children of the Flame.
They knew the codes of time.
They spoke to the stones.
They built great temples not to worship gods,
but to mirror the heavens,
to remind us that we are not separate from the cosmos,
but a sacred part of its unfolding.
But we forgot.
We were broken.
Divided.
Named savage by those who feared our knowing.
Our songs were stolen.
Our stories burned.
Our gods recast as demons,
our queens made harlots,
our kings made fools.
Yet still, we remembered.
In quiet glens and smoky kitchens,
in whispered prayers and rebel hearts,
in lullabies and laughter
and the lone cry of the curlew at dusk.
This book is the stitching of the sacred thread.
It is a flame passed from hand to hand
across lifetimes.
It will not tell you what to believe.
It will help you remember what you already knew
before the forgetting.
It is written in the language of myth,
not to escape truth,
but to reveal it.
âSo take your time.â
Let your mind rest and your soul speak.
Let the story rise like mist over Carrowkeel,
and when you feel that sudden ache,
that strange joy,
that tear you werenât expecting,
know this:
The journey has already begun.
đŻïž Beannacht na gCuimhne
Blessing of the Remembering
Go dtugadh na scéalta seo solas i do dhorchadas,
agus go nâosclĂłidh siad doras i do chroĂ.
Go gcuimhne tĂș cĂ© tĂș fĂ©in,
agus cĂĄ as a thĂĄinig do sholas.
Mise, do dhearthåir sa scéal.
Mise, do scĂĄthĂĄn.
May these stories bring light to your darkness,
and open a doorway in your heart.
May you remember who you are,
and where your light was born.
I am your brother in the tale.
I am your mirror.
đż Prologue â Celtic Rainbows: The Flame That Never Died
đżSeanchaĂ Intro:
Come closer now. The fire is low, but it burns with an ancient light.
Before there were words, there was rhythm.
Before there were gods, there was song.
And before there were names for light, there was light itself, humming, breathing, watching.
Tonight, we do not begin a new story. We remember an old one, one woven into stone, river, and bone.
Listen well, for you already know its song.
đżđ„đ
Before there were stories, there was song.
Before there were names, there was knowing.
Before forgetting, there was flame.
The story you are about to walk is not new. Itâs not fiction. Itâs not history. It is remembrance.
It is the echo of a thousand voices,
the sigh of ancient trees still listening.
and the drumbeat in your chest when your soul stirs to the sound of truth.
This is not a book. It is a flame.
A flame that never died. Though they tried.
They buried the sacred groves.
Silenced the druids.
Dressed the earth in foreign robes and called it progress.
But they could not reach the roots.
They could not kill the story.
Because the flame was hidden in the one place they could not conquer:
The human heart.
The people remembered, even when they forgot.
The land remembered, even when we turned away.
And now,
Now the remembering begins again.
This time, not with swords, nor flags, nor chants or chains, but with breath.
With a softly spoken word.
A child listening.
A garden blooming in defiance of despair.
You are holding a mirror, not a manual.
You are walking through story, not structure.
You are being invited back to the circle, the one we never truly left.
The Celtic Rainbows are not fantasy.
They are the future disguised as memory.
The past untangled from lies.
They are what happens when the earth, the stars, and the soul begin to speak again in one tongue.
You donât need to believe.
You donât need to understand.
You only need to feel the truth that has always been yours.
The flame is rising.
And you, gentle soul, are the wick.
Are you ready to follow the white rabbit?
đżSeanchaĂ Closing:
And so, the flame that never died flickers once more in your hands.
Feel it.
Remember it.
Carry it home.
