1. Background Rooted in the Ibibio People stemming from 7000 BC, the Odinala Religion of the Igbo People stemming from 3000 BC may show potential roots/derivates/synchronization or some other link with the Phoenician derivative Semitic cultures, Indo-European Aryan-Elamite Cultures, and the Sumerian stories of the family of “Anu” or “Annunaki”. Such psychic-animist “shamanic” traditions still exist today particularly in syncretic derivative formats, including lineage practices of “mediumship” leading towards “possession” providing some-sort of healing and divination-wisdom via “pathworking”. From the fierce “jungle” practices of harnessing the wisest most powerful spirit of the jungle, The Leopard Society known as Ekpe still exists, with lineage “gnosis” brought from the Igbo people via the Efik People, into the Atlantic Slave-Trade particularly the port of Calabar, into the Island of Cuba with the Cuban created masonic-structured “Abakua Society”. Like Freemason’s ethos on “masculinity”, the Abakua Society via the story of the sacrifice of the female Sikan for the masculine to harness “Tanse”, often metaphorically understood as the wisdom obtained from the sound akin to the feline-growl harnessed through the drum, is to allow the masculine to resolve the feminine-aspects indicated by the left side of the body to work-through the traumas-conditioning of the masculine-aspects indicated by the right side of the body, to harness a primal state of the masculine potency. Such is an attempt to rebalance the male-female dynamic, within the human “energetic” system, or the Adam-Eve or Adam-Lilith dynamic bringing the male back to the “pre fall” state of humanity, or the cosmic-man harnessing the feminine, the Adam-Kadmon or El Elyon modality. As found through the Igbo, and much like Israel, that masculine would be harnessed through the lineage of the forefathers, or the magic provided by the Patriarchs. In correlation with other relatable cultures of the Middle East, African religions typically hold a transcendent supreme deity or at least one who no longer involves itself in earthly affairs, leaving “messengers” to assist often found through “Angels” or “Orishas”, though with differing qualities relatable to a demographics evolution. The supreme of the Ibibio is known as “Abasi Ibom Enyon” or “Sky God”, who is also named “Anu” under the Igbo tradition meaning “Heaven”, relatable to the Sumerian “Anu”. The spouse of Anu is “Ala”, representative of earth acting as Godmother, which is reminiscent of Saudi Arabia pre-Islam with lunar Goddess worship from the Sabians to the Nabateans, or the Asherah of the pre-Judaic Canaanites. The agent of Ala is a “python”, which is reminiscent of the Gensis serpent, in understanding the Semitic opposition and separation of El as the “one true god” from Asherah, demonizing the “serpent” as well as the “feminine”, where the feminine is to act as a grounded agent for the masculine transcendent. Though such commonalties can show a coincidence with the traditions of the further North cultures of the Middle East, especially due to the First Temple Period being roughly 1000 BC, it is unclear who influenced who particularly since practices could have been easily traded through the Sahara Trade. However, with the Ibibio around 7000 BC, one may argue that the Nigerian counterpart may be the predecessor to the “Desert Religions”, with “Abasi” being the Sumerian “Apsu” and “Ala” being the Sumerian “Tiamat”, with the Phoenician-Canaanite Desert Religions and derivatives being symbolic of the Marduk aftermath. Nonetheless, trade most likely occurred where the future philosophy of the later Efik People included beliefs in “sin” and “commandments” and the Akwa Ederi or “day of rest”, leading one to consider if such commonalities are more than a coincidence. In sum, the argument can be made that the Nigerian were the original “Jews”, especially when taking Hyksos to First Temple Period and the resulting “ineffable name” into consideration. Timeline wise, the Ibibio People of 7000 BC provided the principal supreme being “Abasi”, which was also known as “Ibini Ukpabi” or “Ibratim”, reminiscent of the Jewish patriarch “Abraham”. As the Igbo were descendants of the pottery and iron smelting era of 3000 BC to 1000 AD, another “Sky Being” came to influence the Igbo within the Anambra Valley, where the Sky Being known as “Eri” became the Agueri or “Divine Ruler” alleged to be “Son of Gad” from the “Tribe of Jacob”, leading towards the Igbo culture from 1000 AD to 1225 AD, and later Efik moving towards the slave trade of 1846 AD. In other words, from 7000 BC to 1225 AD, with cultural influences leading towards the slave trade particularly Calabar of 1846, the Ibibio/Igbo/Efik carried a psychic-animist tradition much like evolving Judaism, especially if one were to consider the psychic-animist work of King Solomon and the Egyptian “barc” as a fetish type “Tabernacle”. Even further, the Igbo tradition holds a cosmic supreme couple to match the androgynous Adam Kadman, of “Akpan” and “Ekanem”, or a supreme “Adam” and “Eve”, with also a grounded counterpart of such blueprint as the first man and women or “Atai Abasi” and “Edidem” or earthly “Adam” and “Eve” brought forth by none other than the “Abraham” archetype known as “Ekpenyong Ibratim”.    2. The El Elyon of The Igbo Religion The later Igbo religion quite possibly of the Sky Being “Eri” of 1000 AD Anambra Valley holds philosophy quite similar to the Jewish “Shekinah” and Hindu “Shakti”, in interpreting energy work as moving conscious-energy or intended-prayer from the aspects of the inspiration of “Binah” to the foundation of “Yesod”, to be harnessed by the prophet-shamans known as Dibia in “Malkuth”. Such conscious-energy is known as “Chukwu” similar to “Ein Soph Aur”, where the potential of “Amadioha” as creator, justice, love, peace, and unity of “Chokmah” can be brought downwards via the Guru-Patriarch “Ibratim” at “Hod”, to be channeled by the feminine “Ekanem” at “Gevurah” for the full potential of “Akpan” at the solar “Tiphareth” allowing for the Chukwah type conscious-energy to sprout as “the sun revealing all” or “the eye” known as “Anyanwu”. Such is established within the adept via a personal spiritual guide known as “Chi”, best served at “Yesod” in establishing esoteric, divination, and symbolic “hypnotic” language such as that of “Nsibidi”. In grounding such conscious-energy into the earth of the qabalist “Malkuth”, you have the serpent “Ala” providing fertility as a messenger of “Abasi” in providing laws of the visible and invisible realms known as “Okike”, or biting of the apple and gnosis of knowledge of “good and evil” or rather “benevolent and malevolent” energies and tendencies. Such was set forth for the first created man and women, “Atai Abasi” as “Adam” and “Edidem” as “Eve”, to ground that of the Adam Kadmon of “Akpan” and “Ekanem” as “Adam” and “Eve”. Such provides you with the Igbo “Obong Ikpasong” or “King of the Principalities of the Earth”, much like the Israel “El Elyon” or Perfected “Cosmic Man” of the Jewish Messianic Era.  3. The Garden of Ekom (The Ukim Tree) The “tree” as spoken of by the Igbo may hold differentiation and commonalities with that of the Semitic traditions, but nonetheless, both hold esoteric information often only allowed by the few. To not eat of the Biblical Tree, is to not see like the gods known as “Elohim” and not know of good and evil, where, as conceded by the biblical deity, the biblical serpent actually spoke the truth, negating the notion of “father of lies”. As such, the serpent is much more relatable to “Ala” of the Nigerian Igbo, particularly in noting the evolving roots and political notions of feminine worship in particularly current Islamic nations rooted in lunar worship, where the serpent acted as an agent or “lawgiver” in knowing between “good and evil”. Evil and the serpent are properly represented, as “Ala” is also known as “Atai” by the later Efik People, representing death and chaos as necessary for humans to never forget the transcendental “Abasi”. Such is similar to qabalistic concepts of Qliphoth stemming from the chaos in feminine Gevurah, causing a breaking and shattering of vessels from an overflow of consciousness, representing Judgment. With the “Ukim Tree” also known as “Ekom” at the center of prophetic notions and hence the religion, the position of “Tiphareth” is proper branching out towards all other sephiroth, except “Malkuth” requiring a foundation. The “tree” would house the potential of the main deity or “Ekpenyong Ibratim” as Abraham as “Kether” with “Akpan” representing blueprint “Adam” at “Chokmah” and “Ekpanem” representing blueprint “Eve” at “Binah”. As consciousness flows, such will establish the foundation of having gnosis of the prophetic “Nsibidi” at “Yesod” for access from the material-fertile realms of “Eka Abasi” at “Malkuth”, leading towards the material birth of “Atai Aabasi” as earthly “Adam” and “Edidem” as earthly “Eve”, subject to the Serpent in the Garden of Ekom.  4. Igbo Religion In Practice In practice, the Igbo Religion looks quite a bit like Qabalist-Judaism, including animistic-pantheistic practices for grounded-material assistance, over the ascendency of El Elyon leading towards the rectification of Tzimtzum by personal conscious-awareness of Self Realization. While an adept is in “Malkuth” in a “post-fallen” state of “post-prophetic” Temple of Jerusalem “Tabernacle” divination times, the Jewish tradition utilizes the “ineffable name” to effect the complete sephirotic-system including associated planetary-influences to alter “destiny” or “Essian Emana” in adjusting the energies of the planetary-archonic influence. Rather than a patriarch-teacher as guide from “Hod” to establish a foundation at “Yesod”, does an adept have a personal “natural force” or an “Arusi” similar to the Orishas, acting as an ascent-guide known as “Chi”. Such “Arusi” can interplay with sephirotic understanding in helping one harness the divine force known as “Agbara” for a proper understanding of the Tree of Ekom and establishing a “Yesod” foundation to work with “Nsibidi”. As the personal guide, or “Chi”, is chosen specifically for the adept among the Arusi, two trees for ascent may be utilized with one representing “Ekpenyong Ibratim” as the original tree placed at “Kether”, or should the adept choose their “Chi” to represent control of the Tree of Ekom being placed at “Kether” with “Ekpenyong Ibratim” as the Guru-Guide of “Hod” for one’s unique expression. Through work with such “Arusi”, psychic-animist practices develop inclusive of numerous spirits, including water spirits of the “Mami Wata” quality and often more importantly in such traditions, ancestor worship, particularly in obtaining the wisdom and magic of one’s bloodline and of strong leaders who have left a mark creating strong energetic-residue, dense energies capable of assisting the adept alter destiny.   5. Conclude With the current findings of the Igbo Religion, it appears that the roots of the Semitic, Indo-Aryan, and Sumerian cultures, should also look to Africa to assess the historic truth and proper practice as done in an evolutionary sense from shamanic towards belief, from personal result to political enculture. Particularly since Sumer and Elam were “Black Headed” before the Assyrians relating to not just Africa, but Eastern Africa and India. Nonetheless, with the similarities in ideologies, the use of a sacred language, symbol, or name for gnostic expression, as well as the similarities in name and associations thereof including Ibratim, Akpan, Edidem of the Abraham, Adam, and Eve of the Jewish, and Anu of the Sumerian transcendent “Anu”, and the feminine or the pre-Islamic generic term “Allah” with similarities of the Biblical Serpent to “Ala”, we have a powerful Qabalistic type practice designed for a tribal people to help them from ancestral lineage, natural environment, and cultural organization as such cults were designed to help one and the community grow in wisdom, which may predate “Judaism” itself showing the roots of the Phoenician-Egyptian-Babylonian “ineffable name” derivatives, and properly sourcing Abraham as “Abasi” or the Sumerian “Apsu”, the original “Divine Masculine” signifying the “pre fall” masculine. Even further, like concepts of the Qabalist “Four Worlds” showing the sheaths or “koshas” of the layers of the soul as described in Hinduism, the Igbo hold a similar understanding of the ethereal body, soul, spirit, and oversoul in relation to the character-persona known as ego or the “ruach”, including an emanation from the soul with what most know as a “shadow” and utility of such. Nonetheless, such proves that the Igbo Religion becomes a proper study in its own right, not just as a historical-mythological basis with possible links to other major traditions, but a proper practice for an adepts own spiritual evolution as such is still found secretly through derivative practices such as the esoteric “Abakua” and “Obeah”, similar to the Eastern Tantrik with a village tutelary often kept in secretive familial-cults by and through passing gnostic “transmissions” meaning magical “powers” via ancestral lineages.

“In Awen we find the only refuge in our highest flights of thought, reason, or imagination. A. Rooting Ancient Celtic For The Shamanic Like most European cultures rooted in Indo-Aryan language groups stemming from the Pontic Caspian Steppe of the Yamnaya Culture (3300-2000BC), the Celtic tradition took roots among historical synchronization where rooting deities becomes difficult, as peoples spread and cultures merge, than separate, than reemerge again. With populace known in the area of Edinburgh (Din Eidyn) as early as the Votadini Culture (3000BC) and Stonehenge quite possibly engineered during the Bell Beaker Culture (2800BC-1800BC), it was not until the Urnfield Culture (1300-750BC) that the Proto-Celtic language developed leading toward the Hallstatt Culture (1200-500BC) of the Proto-Celtic population near the Danube River. With the development of Celtic Culture in the Hallstatt period, such spread into the Brythonic Culture (800-500BC) into the La Tene Culture (450-1BC), to succumb to the Roman-Gallic Wars of Julius Caesar leading to the syncretic Roman-Gaul Culture (1-500AD). Though much evidence of the Celtic culture comes from Roman interpretation in syncretic effect as typical of the Greek-Roman or further prior Egyptian-Greek, recreating authentic “Druid” practices and ideologies in comparison to archeological finds stemming from the Hallstatt Culture is difficult requiring interpretation using outside traditions for compare and contrast. Such also includes attempts to assess ancient historians whose writings on history may range somewhere between history and nationalist myth. Further, it becomes difficult to assess the difference between actual shamanic practices including gnosis brought forth from such practices leading towards “visions” and “divination” versus poetic derivatives of story-tellers losing “sight”. Such is found through the stories of Merlin under Geoffrey of Monmouth during the late Roman-Gaul Culture. For those who dismiss such “shamanic” tendencies, fail in recognizing the “prophecies” utilized during the Temple of Jerusalem housing the “holiest of holies” as a traditional “baetyl”, where “prophecies” tended to cease after the destruction. In other words, the earlier we trace back to indigenous roots, a more “shamanic” way of life is presented where psychic-senses paves the way for “animism”. Utilizing either deities, ancestors, anthropomorphic aspects of nature (neters), recognizing the “pantheist” senses from such psychological assessments, human consciousness has shown itself to be significantly more powerful especially when not tied towards gross-materialism as the material-world developed historically thereafter requiring more mundane practical methods.  B. Vedic “Danavas” To The Irish “Tribe of Danu” Along The Danube River The legends of the “Tuatha De Danann” or “Tribe of Goddess Danu” represent for Ireland the birth of their race from Gaels to Milesians rooted in “supernatural” that was called “spiritual”. Though rooted in Ireland, numerous named deities are also British Celtic closer to the location of the Hallstatt Culture, including Lugh as Lugus, and Brigit as Brigantia. However, Danu is not found in texts despite being an ancestral figure, where such figure may be a remnant of the older Indo-Aryan cultures particularly the Vedic water Goddess Danu and a people known as “Danavas”, who may have crossed over into the Danube River during the Scythian Cultures (900-200BC). In comparison to Vedic we have demigods of Devas and Asuras which find counterpart in the Irish Danann and Fomorians, which may have similarities to the Elamite culture in relation to Mohenjo-Daro and the Assyrians. In relation to Semitic culture, the name itself and the sacredness of the practicality of having civilization near life-sustaining rivers, and the comparative mythology would make this group ripe for a biblical “Tribe of Dan” ripe for the time of the First Temple of Jerusalem (957BC). However, the spiritual “Tribe of Danu” is said to have disappeared quite possibly underground Ireland where certain natural “hotspots” provides avenues for communication known as “fairy mounds”. This supernatural race is said to have historically appeared and disappeared, though not without leaving their impression on the people. As such, theories of an alien race have been provided, where such ideas may be magnified when considering fair-skinned red haired people of Easter Island holding the similar script to Mohenjo-Daro that is related to Elam before the Assyrian conquest of Arabia. As such, the “Tuatha De Danann” and the “Danavas” may be seen as similar in a historical context, which may shed light on the biblical “Tribe of Dan” along the societal-necessity “sacred” Danube River. C. Celtic Revival The little left of the Celtic cultures from third-party historians to archeological finds provide more questions with revivalist attempting to recreate a traditional ceremonial system to meet individual spiritual needs and religious communal concerns. Nonetheless, with the adoption of esoteric models from Indian yogic techniques of Self-Realization and Siddha Arts of developing a powerful psychic-animist “gymno-sophist” meeting trance-meditative states of archetypal-gnosis of all shamanic-traditions meeting medieval occultists stemming fraternal “secret society” orders crafting “academic-shamanism”, we are ripe to recraft possibly a more-powerful structure that can be mapped along Rabbi Yochai’s “Tree of Life” structure of the flow of consciousness from the creation ex-nihilo of the Absolute through “Sephirot” towards manifestation of one’s own “Kingdom”. While the Absolute provides the backdrop, Sephirot-Archetypes can be utilized in harnessing one’s will, to use such trance-states of law of attraction “vision board” type “currents” pushing one’s feeling states into possession to allow an entity to push a medium’s senses in clearing, forging, visually witnessing, and harnessing significantly more-powerful energies, through ritual building “tapas”. Such is the most powerful with the Qliphotic system as one recognizes the microcosm of the macrocosm as the adept harnesses the “shell” of both the individual-conditioned character self in resolve with the unlimited-universal deconditioned Self. The Qliphotic realms best suit the “Tree of Life” modality in comparison to other traditional syncretic-attempts, where through the Jewish Psychology of the creators of such systems you have the “shells”, the fecal-matter of “waste” of Semitic history, as found through Israel’s attempts to eradicate its Phoenician-Canaan roots, which becomes “tzimtzum” should one energetically-balance themselves with the Self-Realization or Divine-Presence permeating through the “Supernal Triad”. Though the Qliphotic system may be the most appropriate in assessing the Tree of Life, with basically the “Tree of Death”, the system and history matches correctly. Nonetheless, as evidenced at least since the publishing’s of Aleister Crowley’s “777”, global archetypes have found syncretic value in comprehending the meditative practice of the “Tree of Life”, where meditation upon each Sephirot and interaction thereof is essentially preparing the adept for “Divine Psychology”, which includes the universal-storyteller systems of tarot and astrology, to master the “Vitruvian Man Complexity”. The Celtic tradition, particular the Irish ancestral legends of the “Tuatha De Danann” are an excellent example of powerful-archetypes worthy of a revisit to unlock latent shamanic-practices used ancestrally in harnessing “powers” found either in other, otherworldly, or in nature, to be stronger, smarter, and more efficient than the individual, to be used as an evolutionary “permission slip” as the soul begins to recognize its own latent-powers.  With Eire representing the potential for Ireland, Dagda the Druid is capable of using Will within the Chaotic waters of Danu to begin the atomic-dance of creation ex-nihilo from the “Absolute” Awen contained in Annwn dancing with Nwyfre. Though rendered in simplicity for the average-reader, such “subtle” concepts taken from John Michael Greer’s immense work on The Dolemen Arch match the fluidity of the Absolute, One, and Oneness found through Advaita Vedanta schools with his own philosophical rendering proving the gnostic-shamanic potential for a Druid revival. Lugh being the Long Arm can harness consciousness from Danu and can possibly help in crossing Daath being the diligent King, who would then seed the temperament of the Phantom Queen known as Morrigan properly resting in strength and war with judgment. Such will play into the background of the solar child or the Exalted One known as Brigit, perfect for “Rose Cross” appeal as found through her transition into St. Brigid attesting to her importance in the pantheon as evidenced by her long history including Brythonic Celtic not just Irish. Such includes the ritual bathing and drowning, a baptismal solve-et-coagula of Dian Cecht nurtured in the waters of Boand which clears the mind and provides prophecy for Ogma, the foundation to be birthed with Macha. As such, the flow of consciousness using the “Tuatha De Danann” superscribed onto the Qabalist “Tree of Life” provides a glimpse into the gnosis of the Celtic Universe and the potential for the shamans known as “Druids”. Through practice and continuous “know thyself” the soul evolves from the: 1) Vegetable restful but rooted-nurturing state of absorbing lessons to; 2) Animal passions falling desires with little philosophical-reasoning that can either have the human-animal fall back into vegetable-restful for lesson absorption or; 3) Gwynfydd state of “bliss” of returning to the Awen cauldron known as Annwn as known as “Ananda” in Self-Realization schools. The Gwynfydd state alters “fate” by and through “know thyself” and resolving prior conditioning creating “cause and effect” manifestation outcomes. With such resolution, the use of “will” coincides with “free-choice”, where as opposed to destiny controlling a person, destiny is now found in the Individual.    D. Invocation of Goddess Brigit Currently, little can be found regarding the roots of Brigit despite her name touching significant reaches of the European world, including Indo-European should one include the Ushas of the Vedic tradition hinting towards a Proto-Indo-European religion. Nonetheless, what little found is proper for her communion to begin seeding her presence again in the world. Having used the sigil work of Bill Duvendack for Lugh in Awakening Lucifer along with the mantric-passcode for Lugh found through Creepy Hollows to increase gnosis of Lugh’s current, much success was found in utilizing a golden-light energy to cleanse the surrounding ritual areas as well resolving deep dense issues at a vicious-pace. Such set the grounds for exploring communion with Brigit.
The Shaktipat of energy, a feminine dance of Consciousness from Binah to Yesod guided by Chesed, to establish the Shekinah or “Divine Presence” from the higher light-body to the lower denser manifest-material realms, the divine becomes the “Foundation Stone” for adepts in Malkuth to grasp and utilize. Nonetheless, as astrologically symbolizing the Moon, the “foundation” for outer celestial forces to reach Earth, understanding the different sheaths of the Qabalist “Four Worlds” that cover the soul to manifest the character-experience also lets you peel-back such sheaths to the soul-aspect known as “Ruach” or the persona consisting of memory, will, imagination, emotion, and intellect. In other words, the individual holds not only the ability to gnostically reassess and restructure one’s persona altering “fate” of such through adjusting the conditioning embedded from prior “cause and effect”, such is also how psychic “enchantments” are utilized. As such, the Moon as a foundation can liberate or can control not just oneself but others as subtle energies can manipulate at subtle levels of those incapable of reflecting on oneself living mostly in an Animal state as described above. 2. The Bride (Invocation) The invocation crafted is quite simple and mainly a rehash of archetypal-qualities related to Brigit. With wisdom, poetry, healing, protection, animal-domestication such as cattle, serpents, sacred wells, and blacksmithing. Similar to the master alchemist Tubal Cain, a Goddess of the forge is proper for an adept seeking personal alchemy, and becomes particularly interesting from a feminine perspective following the ancient priestess tradition. Though ancient Goddesses were not passive when it came to war, the sacred-flame of Brigit is cleansing and warming to be even further harmonized with her association with sacred-wells. To “be on the hearth, be on the herd, be on the household all” as stated in one of her prayers provides an energetic protective aura of warmth, a proper “house-warming”. Invocation Goddess Brigit, Exalted One of Old Legend Daughter of Dagda, Wife of Bres, Mother Ruadan, Loved By The Tuatha De Danann I Invoke You Into My Temple, Bless Me With Your Space, Envelope Me With Your Presence Provide Me With Your Sacred Flame, Your Fiery Power, and Guide Me Through The Dawn Master Blacksmith, Forge Me In Your Fires, Heal Me In Your Sacred Wells Goddess Brigit, Let The Music Of Your Whistle Guide Me Through Your Domain Let Your Keening Be Poetry To My Soul, Agriculture To My Mind, and Fertility To My Body Raise My Serpentine Gnosis, and Have Your Familiars Protect Me As I Travel Through Your Mysteries, Your Gnosis, Your Communion Guiding Me On My Path of Alchemy 3. The Breed (Sigil) Under the influence, a medium is capable of crafting a sign or symbol to assist other initiates gain similar access and communion. With psychics currently understanding the need to stay in the “theta-brainwave”, the use of ceremony becomes minimized as the goal is communion, but ceremony can become powerful afterwards in a way of directing “currents” using one’s “will”. The sigil presented is the initial sign drawn, where I’ve opted to use the original as opposed to a cleaner remake, as simply the sigil continuously worked to foster communion becoming stronger with revisiting the ritual. Half a sun representing the solar aspect of the Ushas with an inverted triangle pushing the gnosis downward into the Earth, with roots grasping the Earth thriving through the upwards triangle, to meet in the middle with sacred-wells nourishing the in-between to provide agriculture. It is through visualizing a “watery” blue current tracing the lines of the mark, that the sigil personally opens within the adept allowing an alchemical interplay between the fire of the forge in processing oneself and the cooling of the sacred wells to provide nourishment and replenishment. Connected with animals, including the serpent, the “eye” presented in the half-Sun becomes the “bindu” of traditional yantras connecting the adept with Brigit herself pulling the adept into her domain.  4. The Brigade (Result) The initial invocation had brought out significant tension release, releasing old traumas that I had been working on for quite some time. The sensation-current was upper chakras, with shoulder relaxation and a calmer-clearer head space after having spinal-adjustments and the associated spinal cracking-stretches leaving tension on the upper chest to be released allowing more oxygen. The significant “calmer-clearer” head also includes significant tension release at the neck, leaving me feeling with a release of anxiety-tension that I had not felt since my elementary years. Nonetheless, the most remarkable reoccurrence I would attest, is that the current flows from top to bottom in the adept where the head-tension release also includes a calming current flowing from the crown to the upper palate of the mouth creating significantly sweater saliva. Such “saliva” is considered sacred in Taoist “Embryonic Breathing” practices, where the tongue is typically placed on the roof of the mouth allowing a “nectar” to be produced to be channeled towards the lower-dantien. But rather than use the tongue, the saliva happened on its own accord with increasing saliva leaving the mouth feeling fresh and clean. Such was a result of requesting Brigit’s blessings via her sacred-wells and has continued with each use of the sigil. The second attempt at ritual invocation led to direct but short visions, particularly glimpses of relatable imagery to the invocation. Though I attempted to keep Brigit as indigenous as possible to maintain integrity of the archetype, the first visual was of a Lady dressed as a Nun in the style from the older periods. The veil covering looked more like the High Priestess of the Rider Waite Tarot Deck, but was obviously Christian. The visual was used as a point to look towards other traditional prayers for Goddess Brigit and St. Brigit, where utilizing such prayers, I was placed within the nurturing flames of, not a soft-passive feminine, but a strong-active feminine taking the lead to continue my personal healing. From the left side of the body where the feminine appeared to anchor herself, the right side of the body was met with a complacent-love, a romance that has been satiated brought to completion in an emotionally-pure sense, yet sustaining the frequency of complacent love. With the head-clearing, the heart definitely becomes the “magical cauldron” with Awen clearing and making space for the feminine to then resolve to its fill. As a female-only “priestess” tradition, I can seen these figures as being “virgins” with satiated-sexuality but with “Shaktipat” to resolve such desires, often heavily conditioned and unresolved reflecting itself in a shadowy Jungian sense. Nonetheless, as the sigil was mostly upper-body from cranial to chest, to match the same current but rather pull it down to the lower chakras for a significantly more intense-experience would be the Veve-Sigil of Maman Briggitte, which drastically expands the sexual-experience. In continuing to ritually use the sigil, I’ve gravitated to scribing-candles to infuse such currents, permitting longer durations of having that current bless the atmosphere. Particularly with Brigit who is associated with the perpetual flame, the scribed-candle has become a center within the home that emits an intense feeling of a “house warming”, like cozying by the fireplace and providing feelings of sweet homely sentiments. As such, Brigit has become a phenomenal archetype in ensuring a happy-home, as with the psychological adage “as within, so without”. With the love she has provided, the ritual trance-states of continued healing and nurturing continue to make me feel at home, as a member of her Brigade. E. Conclude From the alchemical forge we find solve-et-coagula, where such processing produces the healing of as-within-so-without, leading towards a heightened consciousness one would deem poetic. This Goddess is ripe for re-enlivening, especially among the feminine populace who would look for a Tubal Cain alternative or compliment. However, the gnosis of this Goddess shows that she is ripe for the position of Tiphareth on the Tuatha De Danann “Tree of Life” with the poetic-inspiration flowing from the Supernal Triads and her ability to assist adepts in Malkuth, shows that it is proper to call her the “Exalted One”.

(https://www.trinfinityacademy.com/courses/) (The main Self-Realization techniques are all designed for you to "become aware, of awareness itself" as a way to self-reflect in a "know thyself" manner allowing conscious-awareness to purge its conditioning via "dark night of the soul" processing to lead the adept to Oneness, to One, and into the Absolute via the direct path of Advaita Vedanta utilizing the technique of Neti, Neti. To follow other accomplished teachers, is to also receive the transmission from the absolute, often leading audience members to the state of "Ananda" as found in other Advaita Schools, including Mooji. Nonetheless, Bentinho has crafted the most subtle techniques to allow the adepts to quickly begin their practice and move deeply towards the Absolute which becomes a Gateway to nurture and inspire the mind-body complexity.)

Racial-Cultural Sensitivities:
I suffered "delusional psychosis" in 2022 where with limited capacity, I intended to look for answers, where I also attempted to assess and resolve conditioning, as the goal is Oneness. Please forgive me for any offense as I attempted to seek help. In learning about many different cultures, in both light an dark aspects, we have more in common with each other than are different. And our differences often make the world unique and beautiful. In a path of walking through cultural underworlds, I chose to heavily look at mine and the collectives shadow aspects, with again, the light of oneness at the end of the tunnel. -Love the Light, and the Dark (Occultist / Inner) (Tzimtzum)
