| THE CELTIC CROSS |
| |
 |
| |
| The Celtic Cross is the most beautiful and the most complete
symbol of the Druidic Cosmogony |
| Thanks to this living book Druidic science and philosophy
were passed down in their entirety during centuries of secrecy, and in this
living book those who learnt how to read its language can become the successors
of the ancient Druids. |

| GRAPHICS OF THE CROSS |

 |
| |
| ESOTERICISM OF THE CROSS |
| |
| 1) The three circles |
| |
| The cross is made of three concentric circles and their
diameters have the following ratios : 9, 27, 81. |
| The 81 circle is the Divine circle or Keugant. |
| The 27 circle is the circle of Migrations or Abred. |
| The 9 circle is the circle of the White Light or Gwenwed. |
| |
| 2) The eight circles that are tangent to Gwenwed |
| |
| The four angles that form the Symbol of the Cross represent
the four elements (Water, Air, Fire, Earth) united in a fifth : Ether. |

| THE TRIBAN |
| |
 |
|
| According to the druidic teachings : "Men Heim watched
the light, saw the Three Columns that were light and sound at the same time,
and understood that Word and Light produced Life". |
| So the Uncreated gives rise to the three fundamental principles
from which all the Forces of Creation stem. |
| They are the three principles the Druids represent by three
rays that never meet at a point, the point being situated in the infinity
of Keugant. |
| The Druids render these Three Sounds of Light (or conversely
these Three Rays of Sound) into the three letters O.I.V. and they wear a
triban on their bandeau. |
| |
| |
| LE OAK TREE |
 |
| The oak tree is the symbol of the druid. With the curative
function of the tannins there is a protective function against sun and rain
thanks to the hardness and longevity of the oak wood. |
| |
| Besides the mistletoe is picked on an oak tree. Mistletoe
is also very important, it grows without a human intervention, and the berries
become ripe after the winter sleep. |
| Thus the mistletoe berry is the symbol of the Resurrection
of the reincarnated Spirit. |
| |
| |
| THE TRISKELL |
| |
 |
| |
| The triskell is a common widespread symbol in Brittany,
it has no esoteric meaning. It emerged very early, the men of the megaliths
used it as an ornament. |
| The triskell has many meanings : |
| The cycle of life (childhood, adulthood, old age) |
| The three elements (water, air, earth) |
| The path of the sun |
| |
| The triskell can turn in both directions : a positive day
direction (towards the right) that represents peace. A negative night direction
(towards the left) that is evil or war. |
