It's like we're all part of this cosmic symphony, with each of us playing our own unique instrument, and the resulting melody is the reality we experience. Maybe string theory fits in here somewhere. -vibrating strings - multiverses? -Brian Greene!

The Tuatha Dé Danann, the magical race of gods and goddesses in Celtic mythology. They arrived in Ireland on dark clouds from the north and possessed great magical powers. They were skilled in arts, craftsmanship, and warfare, and were associated with the sun, fertility, and the harvest. They were also connected with the Sidhe, the fairy people who lived in the otherworldly hills and mounds of Ireland.


The book of Leinster

(trying to find an English translation)

The Book of Leinster, also known as Lebor Laignech, is an important source of information on the Tuatha Dé Danann and their role in Irish mythology. It contains a number of texts that tell the stories of the Tuatha Dé Danann, including the Lebor nopeála Érenn, which recounts the mythological history of Ireland and the various groups that settled there.

It also includes the tale of Cath Maige Tuired, which is the battle between the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomorians, a race of supernatural beings who were their rivals for control of Ireland.

One story from The book of Leinster (I love this stuff! My great-grandfather on my mothers side was Gaelic, but I know nothing about him except that his surname was O'Mahony -O'Mahony is a Gaelic form of the name Ó Mathghamhna, meaning descendant of Mathghamhain.)

"The loss of the crown of Loegaire Lurc from the Dindsenchas"

One way of describing things, yeah. Addresses the "rod" aspect, one's own instrument.
It's rarely the loudest, or "lead guitar" that sets the pace though and anything that tries to force it's presence sounds out of time, or place.

Ananke

She's kind of like if parts of Freya and Odin merged with some Norn thrown in.
Good aspect(s) :)

Really interesting video for the topic therein on it's own, but I want to address a statement made by the author in the book.

That is: that wax and liquid metals take the influence of the intelligences (of the planets) because they're supple like we are before we're born.

He references that we are assigned an intelligence based upon birth etc. Astrological stuff, the important part here is where he's talking about the suppleness of our earliest stages of development and that due to this suppleness we are affected.

This speaks directly to something I've touched on before with some people that can legitimize astrological workings, zodiac, etc, that thing is the idea of: micro gravities.

The small differences in gravitational effects exerted on liquid (supple) bodies at different times of the day, month, year.

If tidal forces at great scale are the result of lunar position, what of the micro, and smaller, scale? In our earliest stages of development in the womb as pathways are being formed in the brain, can they not be pushed and pulled in different ways by subtle differences in the collective gravitational forces in our solar system?

This also suggests there would be tiny differences in how a liquid metal, or wax, would set/form it's matrix of molecules depending on those micro gravities and is a far more logical reason as to why remote and/or isolated areas are required for the work: less chance of undesirable forces affecting the thing in it's 'supple' state.

The Greek personification of necessity, compulsion, and fate. She was seen as a powerful force that controlled the lives of mortals and even the gods themselves.

You're right, it's not always the loudest or most assertive elements that are the most important. In fact, those who try to force their presence or assert their will too strongly often end up disrupting the natural flow and balance of things.

In the early stages of human development, the brain is incredibly malleable and susceptible to outside influences. It's not hard to imagine that subtle variations in gravitational and magnetic forces could potentially influence the way that neural pathways are formed and connections are made. It will be interesting to see the influence of today's G4 storm.

Many traditional crafts and practices, from metalworking to pottery, involve a deep understanding of the materials being worked with and the conditions under which they are most likely to succeed.

Yep. Though it's rare to see a blacksmith waiting until an astrological alignment to smelt and cast, or to do the work isolated in order to avoid or limit the energy fields of other people or things. It is so in the creation of seals of the intelligences and other traditionally occulted work however.

Modern science does do this though, with clean rooms, vacuums and other such suitable environments, per operation.

The creation of seals or sigils often involved intricate rituals and ceremonies designed to align the practitioner with the specific energies or intelligences they were seeking to invoke.

These practices were often shrouded in secrecy and mystery, and required a deep understanding of both the symbolic language of the occult and the subtle forces at work in the universe.

Yes.
