 Of the sacred priests of YAHU
3.
 Was on the shore of Lake Mareotis
4.
 Another community
5.
 Was founded in central Greece
6.
 Near the town of Magnesia
7.
 It was On account
8.
 of their knowledge
9.
 And skill in medicine and science
10.
 Their respect for life
11.
 That the monastic community
12.
 Of the High Priests of YAHU
13.
 became known as the Therapeutae
14.
 the first doctors
15.
 of the ancient world
16.
 Later to be also known
17.
 As the Essenes

 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.

 Since the dawn of the Great Age (398 BCE)

 Ailill mac Art

13.
 The Holly Kingship did then fall to his son
14.
 Eochaid mac Ailella
15.
 Who reigned for thirty six years.
16.
 When Holly King Eochaid mac Ailella
17.
 Did himself give up the ghost
18.
 Eight hundred and seventy eight years
19.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (362 BCE)
20.
 The Kingship of Ireland and the Celts
21.
 Did fall to his son Lugaid Laigdech mac Eochaid
22.
 Who did rule for thirty years.
 
301.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.
 Eight hundred and eighty four years
3.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (356 BCE)
4.
 A mighty prince was born
5.
 to Philip the King of Macedon
6.
 His name was Alexander
7.
 Philip was tutored
8.
 by the nearby Therapeutae of Magnesia
9.
 Priests of Yahu
10.
 The King was powerful and wise
11.
 Uniting all the city-states of Greece
12.
 But for his son
13.
 He sought men who could unify tribes
14.
 And build empires
1.
 Of all the students of Plato
2.
 No greater there was than Aristotle
3.
 As a student of Plato
4.
 And Plato of Socrates
5.
 They had developed
6.
 the art of reason
7.
 That man might know a thing
8.
 Through the reasoning of mind
9.
 Not the mysticism of druidry
10.
 While Plato used spiritual knowledge
11.
 And wisdom inherited from Socrates
12.
 In turn from the druids
13.
 Aristotle hated the druids
14.
 Almost as much
15.
 as he hated the ancient gods
16.
 of superstition
17.
 For Aristotle saw the age of Celtic tribes
18.
 As destroying and corrupting
19.
 Thoroughly wicked and barbaric
20.
 Whereas the plight of man
21.
 Was through civility
22.
 and written laws
23.
 and culture
24.
 In contrast, Aristotle saw
25.
 The hatred of the Holly druids
26.
 To written word
27.
 As supreme arrogance
28.
 That ultimately would be their doom
 
302.
    
1.
 It was Philip who appointed Aristotle
2.
 The brilliant and ambitious man
3.
 To be his sons tutor
4.
 In Alexander,
5.
 Aristotle foresaw the perfect prince
6.
 A boy whilst intelligent
7.
 Lusted for blood
8.
 And the clash of battle
9.
 Obsessed in success
10.
 It was a match
11.
 Made by the gods themselves
12.
 For upon the death of Philip
13.
 Aristotle built the Empire
14.
 While Alexander bathed in the blood
15.
 Of countless enemies
16.
 But one enemy
17.
 Alexander was sworn to avoid
18.
 A great battle with the Celts
19.
 For every battle won
20.
 For every city conquered
21.
 Aristotle would bring his administrators
22.
 Scribes and craftsmen
23.
 To bring the land into an empire
24.
 Soldiers of conquered lands
25.
 Then did serve under Alexander
26.
 For further conquests
27.
 So that a massive army
28.
 Did he raise
29.
 Nine hundred and seventeen years
30.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (323 BCE)
31.
 Weary from endless battle
32.
 Kept away from his home
33.
 By Aristole
34.
 For most of his life
35.
 The Young God King
36.
 Gave up the ghost
37.
 While Alexander
38.
 would be long rembered
39.
 The thousands of scribes
40.
 who slaved day and night
41.
 to serve their master
42.
 ensured Aristotle
43.
 would be the greatest
44.
 For what man
45.
 could but prosper in name
46.
 by claiming the ancient knowledge
47.
 of a hundred lands
48.
 as his own?
49.
 His crowning glory
50.
 The Great Library of Alexandria
 
303.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.
 Nine hundred and eight years
3.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (332 BCE)
4.
 Lugaid Laigdech mac Eochaid
5.
 Holly High King of all Ireland and the Celts
6.
 True and only Bloodline of the Messiah King of Jerusalem
7.
 Descendent of King Eochaid the Great and Queen Tea Tephi
8.
 Grandson of Ailill mac Art
9.
 Son of Eochaid mac Ailella
10.
 Did give up the ghost.
11.
 The High Kingship did fall to his eldest son
12.
 Whose name was Rechtaid Rígderg mac Lugaid
13.
 While his youngest son
14.
 Whose name was Eochaid Buadach mac Laigdech 
15.
 Was banished to the lands known as Marburg
16.
 To have no military escort
17.
 To live as a woodsman with his family
18.
 There he did plant a tree
19.
 Vowing as this tree grew, so would the seed of his loins
20.
 And his brother's wives would be barren.
21.
 To make the Holly great again.
22.
 His son he named Úgaine.
23.
 So it was the fame of the curse travelled fair.
24.
 King Rechtaid Rígderg mac Lugaid
25.
 Searched for the Tree
26.
 All the while without any heir
27.
 The fame of the tree grew
28.
 And it became known as the Yule.
29.
 The living connection to the blood of the Holly
30.
 The blood of the Cuilleain
31.
 And Nine hundred and forty seven years
32.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (293 BCE)
33.
 King Rechtaid Rígderg mac Lugaid did pass
34.
 Without an heir
35.
 And Úgaine
36.
 Became High King
37.
 One of the greatest
38.
 Known as Úgaine Mór  
39.
 Who ruled for forty five years.
 
304.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.
 Nine hundred and twenty eight years
3.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (312 BCE)
4.
 The devious soldier Selecus
5.
 Who fathered a dynasty and murdered those who trusted him
6.
 From the ashes of contest did forge the Empire in his name
7.
 Making Babylon his home.
8.
 But to Baalbek he did order
9.
 The expulsion of the ancient Israelite Priests
10.
 of the House of Hanan
11.
 And installed his own priests
12.
 Changing Baalbek to worship the Greek Gods.
13.
 The High Priests of Ba'al Hammon
14.
 No longer in control of their own lands
15.
 On account of the Menasheh
16.
 Were forced into exile to a town called Ba'al Hammon
17.
 Which they constructed between Tyre and Acre on the coast
18.
 From there, the most ancient priests devoted to satanism
19.
 Plotted the downfall of their enemies
20.
 And to regain control
21.
 The Menasheh hated
22.
 for taking their lands
 
305.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.
 Nine hundred and fifty years
3.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (290 BCE)
4.
 The height of the Keltoi
5.
 Under Holly King Úgaine Mór  
6.
 While such a system as devised by the Holly
7.
 Did restore great power
8.
 It did bring an ultimate price
9.
 For the Keltoi tribes
10.
 Did not advance
11.
 Beyond their own world
12.
 They did not unite
13.
 In civilization as Alexander had
14.
 Only in war did Keltoi stand united
15.
 For nothing did they relish more
16.
 Than Battle
17.
 A monster then had it become
18.
 Uncontrolled and insatiable
18.
 Keltoi tribes
19.
 Continued to attack the Latins
20.
 And even the Greeks
21.
 in Ireland
22.
 While the rules of High King
23.
 Withstood bloody conflict
24.
 Amongst the lesser kings
25.
 Tribes were now
26.
 At constant war
27.
 Ireland no longer
28.
 the shining light
29.
 Of knowledge
30.
 Such honors to the East
31.
 Had travelled
32.
 The Island declined in stature
33.
 As the Holly Family
34.
 Immersed themselves
35.
 in wealth and status
36.
 Unconcerned of the legacy
37.
 Around them
38.
 And when Úgaine Mór did pass
39.
 Nine hundred and ninety two years
40.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (248 BCE)
41.
 Hellenic Culture now ruled the world
42.
 And the Celts
43.
 had become antiquities
44.
 of an older age.
45.
 The son of Úgaine
46.
 whose name was Cobthach Cóel Breg mac Úgaine
47.
 ruled for thirty years.
 
306.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.
 Nine hundred and ninety five years
3.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (245 BCE)
4.
 A Menasheh Priest was appointed by High Priest of Jerusalem
5.
 Whose name was Manasseh
6.
 A powerful and skillful leader
7.
 He was hated by the High Priests exiled at Tyre and Hammon.
8.
 When he was deposed, Manasseh stole and hid the treasures of the Temple
9.
 He then commissioned a new Sebastaea (Samaritan) Temple be constructed upon Mount Gerizim.
10.
 It was through this same priest line eighty years later
11.
 that Menelaus would betray the Jews
12.
 and give up the Temple secrets to the Assyrians
13.
 An act that would be repayed within a further hundred years
14.
 When John Hyrcanus destroyed the Samaritan temple to the ground.
 
307.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
2.
 One thousand and thirty two years
3.
 Since the dawn of the Great Age (208 BCE)
4.
 A terrible sign appeared in the heavens
5.
 Upon the approach of the comet Encke
6.
 As tradition since ancient times
7.
 a comet signaled
8.
 Bad omens
9.
 So Encke did bring hardship
10.
 To many cultures
11.
 And spared others
12.
 The meteorite swarm did come
13.
 Yet not as destructive
14.
 To all mankind
15.
 As in ancient times
16.
 Some hundreds fell
17.
 Across the Levant
18.
 And cultures of the Mediterranean
19.
 Yet many did smash
20.
 The lands of the Celts
21.
 Of Northern and Central Europe
22.
 Upon such signs from heaven
23.
 Rationale men forgot their reason
24.
 Superstitions arose again
25.
 In the lands of the Romans and the Greeks
26.
 Spared from any destruction
27.
 Their good fortune
28.
 Brought great devotion
29.
 To the ancient gods
30.
 that spared them
 
308.
    
1.
 At the time
2.
 The old Temple of Cybele
3.
 Magna Mater
4.
 the Great Mother
5.
 to the Romans
6.
 long since replaced
7.
 under the Forum Romanum
8.
 Only a small shrine
9.
 remained to the goddess
10.
 In the Farnese Gardens
11.
 Upon the Palatine Hill
12.
 Upon the signs of meteorites
13.
 A tradition associated with Cybele
14.
 A new Temple was hastily commissioned
15.
 Upon the Mons Vatis Canus
16.
 Known as Vatican Hill
17.
 The Roman Senate
18.
 Did order a troop
19.
 To raid the lands
20.
 of the Galatians (Turkey)
21.
 the Celts of the Anatolians
22.
 And take the most sacred
23.
 Black meteorite
24.
 Known as the Stele of Cybele
25.
 And the Black Stone of Cybele
26.
 From its ancient temple
27.
 In the city of Pessinus
28.
 To Rome
 
309.
    
1.
 There in Rome
2.
 A great temple to Cybele
3.
 The largest in all of Rome Was built
4.
 Upon Vatican Hill
5.
 which means
6.
 The hill
7.
 of the white haired soothsayer
8.
 And the Stele of Cybele
9.
 The Great Black meteorite
10.
 was placed In front
11.
 of the great and mighty Temple
12.
 In honor of the goddess
13.
 Queen of Heaven
14.
 To protect the city
15.
 To honor the goddess
16.
 Doves were released
17.
 And cakes were baked
18.
 Hundreds of children
19.
 And babies Were slain
20.
 Their blood and flesh eaten
21.
 By the eunuch priests
22.
 As they cut themselves
23.
 In frenzied orgies to honor the goddess
24.
 With the temple prostitutes
25.
 consorting with novices
26.
 not yet castrated
27.
 A practice that continued
28.
 Upon this Hill
29.
 Longer than evil
30.
 should ever reign
 
310.
    
1.
 The the lands of the Araba tribes
2.
 Such signs did return
3.
 devotion to the goddess
4.
 and the black meteorites
5.
 With a shrine erected
6.
 in the Village of Mecca
7.
 For which a black meteorite
8.
 was placed as the cornerstone
9.
 In honor of the goddess
10.
 Known as Kyba (Kybele/Cybele)
11.
 Here they named the shrine
12.
 the Ka'aba
13.
 a site that soon became
14.
 most sacred to all the Araba tribes
15.
 In a land destroyed
16.
 by such rocks
17.
 from the gods of the heavens
 
311.

 Within one year

 And travel north

 Unto Jerusalem
20.
 To become the new High Priests
21.
 Of the Temple
 
312.
    
1.
 To the tribes of the Celts
2.
 Such signs of fire
3.
 then cold with failing crops
4.
 were signs of the return of ancient gods
5.
 Druids in European villages
6.
 Did break their vows
7.
 Drowning victims in bogs
8.
 To appease the gods
9.
 Holly King Lóegaire Lorc mac Úgaine

 Grandson of Úgaine Mór 
12.
 Sought for ways to hold firm
13.
 And stem the collapse of the Celts into anarchy
14.
 To no avail.
15.
 The strength of the Celts left them
16.
 And great armies and cultures
17.
 did collapse
18.
 Only the cultures along
19.
 The Northern shores
20.
 of the Mediterranean
21.
 Were spared the wrath
22.
 of the ancient gods
23.
 of men

 In honor of her power

 Upon the war of the Sadducee Jews
9.
 Where Ptolemy VI
10.
 Did grant them
11.
 The right to build a new temple
12.
 at Leontopolis.
13.
 In these times
14.
 Many of the Jews
15.
 had come to believe
16.
 Without question
17.
 The writings of Ezra
18.
 To be true
19.
 That while greater age
20.
 And right could be shown
21.
 To the High Priest of Yeb
22.
 And while the history of Ireland
23.
 And Judaism
24.
 Was without question
25.
 In the bloodlines of Judah
26.
 Their absence in the Bible
27.
 Was not an act of man
28.
 But God
29.
 Anomolies that history
30.
 Would one day erase
31.
 These men and women
32.
 Who believed without question
33.
 In the truth
34.
 of Ezra and Nehemiah
35.
 Became known as the Pharisees
36.
 While ignorant of fact
37.
 And devoted to fable
38.
 Were good of heart
39.
 And considered human sacrifice
40.
 An act of abomination
41.
 Something the Sadducee Priests
42.
 Who lived to burn people
43.
 In sacrifice
44.
 Saw as mere ancient custom
 
316.
    
1.
 In the Great Age of the Ram,
