Arianrhod - holder of the Corona Borealis
Once upon a time Eochaid Feidlech came over the fair green of Brl
Leith, and he saw at the edge of a well a woman with a bright red comb adorned
with gold, washing in a silver basin wherein were
two bluebirds with little,
bright gems of purple carbuncle in the rims of the basin.
A curly red
mantle Áine had, a beautiful green cloak,
a brooch of fairest gold.
A kirtle she wore, long, hooded, of green silk, with red embroidery of
gold.
Marvelous clasps of gold
and silver in the kirtle on her breasts and her shoulders and spaulds on
every side.
The sun kept shining upon her, so that the glistening of
the gold against the sun from the green silk was manifest to men.
On
her head were red gold tresses, in each of which was a plait of four locks,
with a bead at the point of each lock.
The hue of hair seemed like
the flower of the iris in
summer, or like red gold after
the burnishing thereof.
There she was, undoing her hair to wash it,
with her arms out through
the sleeve-holes of her smock.
White as the snow of one night were
the two hands, soft and
even, and red as foxglove were the two clean beautiful cheeks.
Dark as
the back of a stag-beetle the two eyebrows.
Like
a shower of pearls
were the teeth in her head.
Green as an olive were the eyes.
Red as rowan berries the lips.
Very high, smooth and soft-white
the shoulders.
Clean white and lengthy the fingers, long were the
hands.
White as the foam of a wave was
the flank: slender, tender, soft as wool.
Polished and warm, sleek and white were
the two thighs.
Round and small, hard and
white the two knees.
Short and white and rule straight the two
shins.
Justly straight and beautiful the two heels.
The bright radiance of the moon was
in her noble face.
The
loftiness of pride in her smooth eyebrows.
The light of wooing in each of her regal
eyes.
A dimple of
delight in each of her cheeks.
Soft
dignity in her voice; a step steady
queenly gait was hers.
It seemed to King Eochaid that she was from
the elfmounds.
Of her was said: "Shapely are all till compared with
Áine, dear are all till compared with Áine."
A longing
for her straightway seized the King; so he detained her.
Asking tidings
of her: "Shall I have an hour of dalliance with thee?"
"Tis for that we
have come hither under thy safeguard," quoth she.
"Query, whence art
thou and whence hast thou come?" quoth Eochaid.
"Áine am I,
daughter of Etar, King of the cavalcade from the elfmounds.
I have been
here for twenty years since birth in an elfmound."
"Thou shalt have
welcome, and for thee every other woman shall be left by me, and with thee
alone will I live so long as thou hast honour," quoth Eochaid.
"My
proper bride-price to me!" she quoth, "and afterwards my desire."
"Thou shalt have both," quoth Eochaid. |

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a
new perspective with which to engage reality to which its author adheres. The
author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has
forged a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has
been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their
agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race.
Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious
practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This
web site marks the founding of a system of philosophy named The Truth of the
Way of the Lumière Infinie - a rational gnostic mystery religion based
on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme
leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is
encouraged to develop a personal relation with the Creator and Sustainer
through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the
spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The
Truth of the Way of the Lumière Infinie are spelled out in detail on
this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their
religious beliefs in America is considered a "hate crime."
This web site
in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the
violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels
desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already
controls the world economic system, corporate media worldwide, the global
industrial military entertainment complex and is responsible for the collapse
of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of
global ecosystems. Civilization is based on coöperation. Coöperation
does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values
have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international
cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to
deceive the populace in general through corporate media by pressing emotional
buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior
corporate media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction
of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to
the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction
and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been
directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that
further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
