We discussed Fachtna and Ness' parentage of Conchobar in our stream on Sunday
Conchobar is Prajapati, the embryo of the cosmic egg. Ness is Vak-Devi, who is the creatrix alongside the Purusha who forms the cosmic egg in SB 6.1.1:
"[Purusha] created the waters out of Vâk...He
entered the waters with that triple science [vidya]. Thence an egg arose."
Thus Ness giving birth into then pulling baby Conchobar out of a river makes sense here
But Lugaid Mac Con is clearly the Irish Purusha as a whole: he's been born from the 7 Lugaids, as Purusha is formed from 7 Purushas, and the 7 Lugaids are sons of Daire (aka Dagda, god of Wind), as the 7 Purushas arise from the Vital Air
Lugaid is in a PARALLEL lineage to Fachtna, and Fachtna (the Hostile Wise) ultimately kills Dui, who is of the clan of Daire and Lugaid
So my belief is that Fachtna and his sometimes brother Cathbad are the divine personas or active divine Intellects WITHIN the Purusha/Lugaid (also Fachtna or his grandfather Rudraige may = Indui here)
Their capturing of and consorting with Ness to father Conchobar is the creative and priestly activity of the Purusha as such which brings about the egg/Prajapati
And as Purusha is Agni (Fire) and Rudra is really the luminosity of Agni, so Fachtna, The Hostile Wise, is a blatant Rudra, who finally performs the act of "intellectual creation" by impregnating Ness as the serpent, this being the creative action of the Purusha when he touches the water with the Triple Science/Vidya
This serpent form equated with Fachtna then reminds of Chronos [Time] somewhat, who causes the cosmic egg to arise with Ananke and then causes it to open. Rudra of course is Kala, Time, in some references, so this is possible
I also don't see a problem with equating him with Ophion
If Fachtna and Cathbad are personas within or astride the Purusha, then it's interesting that Fachtna's father is Ross, "Knowledge". The Purusha has to make Trayi-Vidya manifest in order to create the Egg, Vidya meaning literally "Knowledge". So, I have to wonder if Ross or his son who embodies Wisdom and is his continuer, and who enters the picture in order to finally impregnate Ness after Cathbad has "tamed" her in some sense, is in the same position as the Trayi-Vidya of the Purusha creation.
The Trayi-Vidya is also called the Brahman and is the 3 Vedas, thus if this was true we would have an Irish instance of a Rudra "type" (Fachtna) in an equivalent position to the Veda-Brahman of the Vedic tradition, the wise one who embodies the system of divine knowledge, which is more or less the transcendent divine Logos in Greek terms, in its primordial role in creation
This whole thing gives a much better picture of who is really performing the "demiurgic" work in the creation of the cosmos: While the Purusha is = to Zeus, the Intellect within his aetheric fire is Rudraic, ie it is Cronus/Chronos-Apollo

Читать полностью…The Birth of Fionn mac Cumhaill: The Secret Heart of The Celtic Creation Myth
What is the story of the birth of Fionn mac Cumhaill, the Irish Rudra-Siva, really about?
Who is Fionn's father Cumhaill, illicit impregnator of Muirne, and who is Fionn's grandfather Tadg, lord of the sacred mound and of towers?
And can this tale reveal yet a deeper layer of the Celtic Creation Myth, going right to the heart of cosmic mystery?

The key to the Celtic Creation Myth is to realize that Eriu (namesake of Ireland) is the Irish Mother Earth. It makes sense via microcosm = macrocosm and I’ve presented a lot of other proof (see my articles on Bres’ conception and on the Creation Myth.)
Eriu has two sisters, also names of Ireland. The triple Mother Earth here marries 3 brothers.
Who can the triple husband of the triple Mother Earth be?
It can be none other than Sky, the mirrored match of Earth in IE myth.
The marriage of triple Earth and their triple husbands is violently disrupted by 3 brothers.
The violent ending of the marriage of Earth and Sky is then the “dividing” of Earth and Sky, exactly as with Cronus separating Ouranos and Gaia or Odin splitting Ymir into Earth and Sky.
The marriage of Eriu and her sisters to their 3 husbands (Mac Greine et al.) is violently ended by 3 brothers: Eber Finn, Amergin and Erimon.
The chief among these should then be equivalent to Cronus or Odin, the dividers of Sky-Earth. Just as in the Norse case it is a set of 3 brothers.
The chief brother here is “Eber” Finn, a version of the god Finn.
Finn, the Irish mystical “mannerbund” (=fiana) god with the spear that never misses and the two loyal hunting dogs, who gains power of prophecy by fasting under a magical tree, and who in his alt form “Fintan” has one eye plucked out, is indeed the equivalent of Odin, and of Cronus.
The dividing of Earth and Sky is the climax of the IE Creation Myth, and we have it as clear as day in the violent ending of the marriage of Eriu, Mother Earth, by Finn.
When you trace back from the birth of Eber Finn you encounter the earlier layers of the Creation Myth, including the emergence of the cosmic tree god (Bile) and his father the tower god, Breoghan, in a role equivalent to Brahman.

But is this how an ancient person really would have seen Ginnungagap, or would they have reflexively seen a god residing within?

Yr Awenyddau are holding a Beltane/Calan Haf bonfire ritual on the 1st of May 2025. It will involve a 3-5 day wildcamping trip, which is optional for attendees. It will be hosted in Devon, England. It will run from the 30th of April when we meet, and end on the 5th of May when we leave.
If you consider yourself a Celtic native faith practitioner and would like to join this ritual, then contact /channel/Cathal6923 or /channel/Moccusart for interview and further details. It is advised you are a resident of the UK. If you're thinking of attending, then bring offerings to give to the gods and ancestors!
Exodus is an epic story.
I’m glad the Vedic people composed (and lived parts of) it.
This is what is shared between the Song of the Sea and its model in the Rig Veda:
Same structure and very similar phrases, in addition to uncannily similar story.

Caer’s name (“Yew Berry”) even ties her to the red berries that Gwilym mentions here as their symbols, the tears of the sun.

Is it possible that the story of Jacob, the namesake of Israel, is a story woven together primarily from two distinct traditions -- neither of which is Israelite?
Is there a previously undiscovered VEDIC layer to Jacob's story?
And was one of the models added to this mix -- a demon?

I think not treating the Fire of Muspelheim, the Air of Ginnungagap, and the Mist or Ice of Niflheim as divine (Gods) allows materialism to run rampant and infect the wider theories of a certain number of Germanic pagans.

Biblical scholar Joel Baden himself points out that the Song of the Sea could not have originally been about the escape from Egypt but was originally about a military victory, and the escape scene has been written around it.
This is clearly true, and fits perfectly my theory that it was borrowed from the Battle of Ten Kings hymn and the escape narrative was worked around it, leaving behind a clear seam in the disjunction between the military content of the hymn and the rest of the story.
In fact, borrowing from the RV hymn explains this seam better than any other theory.
