Old things rise back up sometimes.

 

There is this Celtic resurgence going on for many. This is a letter my

brother sent to all our family yesterday. This is not Jyotish, but somehow

it's all related. This is related to the reawakening awareness of itself,

for a race that was heavily squashed by past wars and pillage. Hindus enjoy

often an unadulterated understanding of their families backgrounds, their

own religion and land, their gods, scriptures, etc. For the Westerners, this

was all destroyed by so many wars back and forth. I just wanted to share

this with you as it shows one small part of how things come back slowly for

some of us. My brother writes in an odd way he's always trying to make the

family angry by acting out and saying odd things to them, things to make

them feel like they're being ridiculed, because he felt rejected for his

attempts at these things. I'm probably the one who takes him the most

serious. I've spent so much of my life serving Hinduism and listening to

it's stories and such, I guess I want to put some of this back towards it;

reverse the direction just a bit, and put a Celtic story towards Hindu ears

if you will, through this list. Whatever. Hope it has some meaning in some

way for somebody. Crinnion and MacKay were the last names of our mothers

parents. So my brother is talking of our grandfathers name herein.

Eye Greeting and Happy New Year.

 

There is a we bit of a resurgance in this generation in our family to

chase the roots of the old trees.

 

May this generation be honord.

 

As a few of you know, who still know very little about me. I have

suddenly found myself privey to a circle of knowledge. Partially thru MY

belonging to the ancient order of Druids. Partially thru medicine work of

myself and medicine men I have known....eye there is magic involved and ya

dont know how I do it do ya.....

But I have gained some info re our family from my good friend Sir

Wayne Mcafee Knight Officer of Sir George and her Majisty Princess

Pelagonious of Portugal, about our family and in the Bardic tradition I

will educate you on it.... Dont judge me as a heathin you will be wrong, and

about alot of things your wrong, it is always polite to listen and sit

quiet it shows good manners.

The kilts speak a language you havnt been told because few know and

fewer can read it. Eye, McKay is McEye that be how ya say it. The language

is Ogham. or family Kilt the Mckay Tartan literally reads. Long ago son of

Norse Foreigner.

Least we be knowin where the Mckay's came from.

Less is known about the Crinnions. The old spelling is MacCrimmion.

Eye they appeared at the MacCloud Castle in the 15th century. No one knows

where they came from. You should also know that the Mckays and The

MacCrimmions have shared very close family ties thru marrage and pipers

since that time.

Eye the story of the pipes and the most very famous pipers who took the

pipes to a much higher is the legacy of the MacCrimmions.

" a fairy woman, the banshee from Dunvegan Castle, came into the

MacCirmmion croft. Taking pity on an unassuming young man she said kindly,

"Ill teach you to play but first come tell me, would you choose skill

without success or success without skill?" Quickly he replied,"I only want

to play like my father and brothers, so I choose skill without success!"

Pleased by his modesty, the fairy woman smiled saying. "That you shall do

and better. I will grant you skill and success." She laid her fingers on

the holes of his chanter and his on hers. lifting his when she lifted hers

he played hius first tune. Next she told him to play the pipes by himself

and found he could do so. "Splended!" she said " now they cannot equal your

power, and no equal shall ever come after you."

Eye the latest MaCrimmion piper I have is Agnus McKay eye by the dates

here IM thinkin he is still alive.

Is the gift of spirit imprinted upon a soul, and are those souls amoung

us? Do those souls come back to the same people? my riddle for you....

Mac Crimmons were responsible as the principal family that took

bagpiping to a whole new level and way of writing the music. Its kind of

like sounding out the music with words. there is no time or measure. It

comes from spirit and like most spiritual music the measures become longer

as more spiritual energy comes in.. In our family these ways have been lost

to previous generations who put their faith in the hollow promises of the

religions of the industrialized world. These religions leaders only thought

of themselves and did not teach you who you were though they knew, that is a

sin.......

I wish you all the knowledge of your great herratage and in trust

honesty and truth in the purest form of the creator, a blessed and sacred

new year full of purpose and meaning.

all my relations

I shall live with my relatives

clarifications:

 

He does mean kilt- the patterns on the cloth- the exact lines of colored

threads, represent letters in the Ogham alphabet, which was an ancient

alphabet used by Celts. That alphabet is formed by strokes or lines alone.

You make lines, not fancy letters, just sets of lines. So, it can be

represented in cloth, by alternating the colors of the threads. So you can

write something in weaving, so you can make your dress speak your family

name, and that is what's going on- the families cloth patterns say their

names, and their names often mean something. The MacKays of Scotland, being

in the Northernmost portion, seem to have come from Norway. We're from Irish

MacKays, which could be different. Who knows. I sure don't look Norse.

 

Watching for Omens: My daughter met her tall blonde half Norse half Irish

husband on Beltaine, a major Celtic festival day. Their daughter, Fiona was

born just a day or two off from another such day. That Son in Law of mine

has a pipe chanter in his house and tries to learn it. MacKay may be of

Norse origin, and Crimmion has the pipe/chanter link, and here he is like

that, part Norse and with piping interest, like the Crimmion line, married

to my daughter, of Crimmion line in blood, around Celtic special days, with

a daughter with a special Celtic name, and me completely engrossed in it,

and my brother going that way, though he lives amongst Lakota Indians in

America and was a Shaman of their type before. It's like arising with it's

own life this whole thing. There are no accidents.

 

Note how he mentions reincarnation "souls coming back".

 

This is NORMAL to Celts (non Christian one's)

 

See that link with Hinduism? That was there. The old Celts definitely spoke

and believed that way. Even Caesar wrote about how they believed that way.

 

One Gaelic name for astrologer is n'iladoir

 

pronounced similar to Nila Dwara

 

which in sanskrit I believe could be something like "knower of the blue"

 

It means "Cloud diviner" in Gaelic.

 

I know that Suk and Duk for happiness and distress are the same, and other

things...

 

congrats if you got to here. I love you.

 

 

over and out,
