Yesterday I was at the âlaunch classâ of a VERY interesting book âThe Sacred Triads and the Pantheon of the Celtsâ. The author is portuguese âAs TrĂades Sagradas e o PanteĂŁo dos Celtasâ.
I received SO MUCH juice that I had the idea of creating this new thread for us to explore some mysteries together.
The impulse is that we start with âHow is this possible?â whenever we wish to share a mystery.
I welcome a LOT of FUN in this thread so that we can keep very lucid while exploring some exciting stuff that archeologists have been finding beyond the materialistic view.
So, when one of us shares the question âHow is this possible?â this is an invitation to investigate about it, have fun and after some time the person shares more about the mystery shared.
I suggest we resolve each mystery one by one, to savor all the details together.
Are we ready for the first one?
@NightHawk999 of course you are a BIG inspiration for this thread and I hope we can all enjoy this game very much!
Yes, I caught this pose of the legs. Definitely makes you wonder if they were âmixing mindâ with people in the far east. If the location was a sacred site, I think the odds are in its favor
This part of the article hit home both times I read it.
This detail flew way over my head the first time I read it, caught it the second time:
"It seems that the (by now rather ancient) warrior statues were also displayed alongside this portico structure and a three-dimensional stone sculpture of a bird of prey, some 60cm high, was also reassembled from around 25 fragments recovered from the early excavations (Lescure 1990, 171 no. 6). By the early third century BC, therefore, the now monumental sanctuary housed a remarkable collection of art and objects, some newly created, and others at least two hundred years old. "
"Among so many roles and characteristics, the most significant might be guarding or defending the underworld. Indeed, using several mythologies and belief systems, horses often serve as intermediates between the world of the living and the dead, serving as guides in the afterlife and there as defenders of the sacred. "

âMany Native American cultures believed that horses would travel along with the spirits of those who had departed to the afterlife in order to lead them through the spiritual realms. For example, the stories of the Lakota Sioux revolve around the horses that led souls of the dead to the âLand of the Spiritsâ so that they could find rest and peace there.â
&
"Some shamans take rides on horses during their spiritual sojourns, believing that these creatures can facilitate access to other realms. The horse is a guide to help the shaman navigate the spiritual landscape and connect with the spirits of the dead This is the present-day context of equine therapy, a powerful healing form in which the spirit of humans and horses seems to get intertwined. "

âHorses in New Age spirituality are said to be soul guides that help guide and assist individuals through their journey of self-discovery and healing. Most people also believe that horses have intuitive energy, allowing them to connect with the spirit world, thus providing a lot of protection and guidance.â
" Greek mythology relates, in The Iliad , that Achilles sacrifices four horses on the funeral pyre where his friend Patroclus is consumed, so that they can guide him to the kingdom of Hades.[74] The Franks, who see the horse above all as a warrior animal, also sacrifice the kingâs horse to be buried alongside him.[75][76]"
this is related to another âHow is this possible?â question soonâŠ
yes, a good example of this is Epona which we have written about before.
indeed⊠it could be that the information was already being channeled at that time originating Celtic Wisdom and Buddhism, which would somehow explain why we humans feel it so familiar to us⊠itâs in the air for a long long time.
Yesterday, thanks a @Michele1âs comment (about âLamaâ being âFlameâ in Spanish), who thank goddess only replied Yesterday (the topic started in december 2024), made me cross with this topic, inspiring me to find out about thisâŠ
