And in protection, strength
And in strength understanding
And in understanding, knowledge
And in knowledge, the knowledge of justice
and in the knowledge of justice, the love of it
And in that love, the love of all existence
The love of god, and all goodness
The Druid's teaching concerning a man's spiritual nature:
In every person there is a soul
In every soul there is intelligence
In every intelligence there is thought
In every thought there is either good or evil
In every evil there is death
In every good there is life
In every life there is God.
Let God be praised in the beginning and the end,
Who supplicates Him, He will neither despise nor refuse.
God above us, God before us, God possessing (all things)
May the Father of Heaven grant us a portion of mercy!
The Druidic Trinity doctrine:
There are Three Primeval Unities, and more than one of each cannot exist: One God, One Truth, and One Point of Liberty, where all opposites preponderate.
Three things proceed from the Three Primeval Unities: All of life, All that is Good, and All Power.
These were taught before Jesus Christ came to earth. When Christ did come, the Druids knew it and readily accepted Christianity. When St. Patrick came to the Isle, he wasn't converting the Druids (pagans) to Christianity, they already were Christian. The Druids just did not want to be under the Catholic Church's ruling authority. I guess you could call them the original Protestants.
