The Sun King of Ireland

When Christianity preached Jesus as God, it preached the most familiar name of its own deity to Druidism; and in the ancient British tongue 'Jesus' has never assumed its Greek, Latin, or Hebrew form, but remains the pure Druidic 'Yesu' - Fredrick Haberman (Tracing Our Ancestors)

Christ is my Druid - St. Columba (from: Six Saints of the Covenant, by Walker)

Every one of the great Celtic centers of initiation and learning were eventually destroyed during the rise to power of the later imposter church. They went the way of the great libraries such as at Pergamon ("of Amon"), Byblos, Carthage, and Alexandria. The Irish Church had its own sun-god and sun-king. The Irish Druid-Priests are known to have personified the powers of the universe through the heavenly bodies - the sun, moon, and stars. This is where words like "minister," "deacon," "sexton," and "magistrate," etc, come from .

It would appear probable that the religion of the Druids passed from Ireland to England and France. The metempsychosis or transmigration of souls was one of the articles of their belief long before the time of Pythagoras; it had probably been drawn from the storehouse of Atlantis, whence it passed to the Druids, the Greeks, and the Hindoos. The Druids had a pontifex maximus to whom they yielded entire obedience. Here again we see a practice which extended to the Phoenicians, Egyptians, Hindoos, Peruvians, and Mexicans - Ignatius Donnelly (Atlantis: the Antediluvian World, 1882)

The faith in a Jesus had been for a long time in existence among innumerable Mandaic sects in Asia Minor, which differed in many ways from each other, before this faith obtained a definite shape in the religion of Jesus - Arthur Dewes (The Christ Myth)

In India and Tibet there are apparently records of the visit of Jesus to these countries, who was known there as Isa or Issa. After visiting Leh the capital of Ladakh which borders Tibet in the Himalayas, Henrietta Sands Merrick records in her book In the World's Attic (1931): "In Leh is the Legend of Christ who is called 'Issa', and it is said that the monastery at Hemis holds precious documents fifteen hundred years old which tell of the days that He passed in Leh where He was joyously received and where he preached - Barry Dunford (The Celto-Himalayan Connection)

The Irish King of the Sun was known as Iesa or Essa (also Esa, Esu, or even Hesu and Jesu). The word deus meaning "god" comes from it. During their rites, the Druids would find a tree in the shape of a cross, or would lop of the branches of a specifically chosen oak to make a cruciform. Upon this tree the name Hesus was then inscribed.

The party of Druids present would face east toward the rising of the sun and would sing hymns and chant to the new-born son of the sun - Esus, or Iesa. We get the word east from his name). It was only after later myth-mongers assimilated the custom and made a travesty of it that a physical man would appear hanging in pain from a tree. The T-shaped tree represented the Tinne and Tau letter of the sacred alphabets, and it connoted ending and rebirth. The letter "T" served the same meaning as the Greek Omega. Christ, who is associated with this letter, is based on Iesa who was, in previous ages, associated with the letter Tau, the hierogram of which was the tree or cross. If Esus was a god of vegetation, once represented by a tree, this would explain why, as the scholiast on Lucan relates, human sacrifices to Esus were suspended from a tree - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)		Christ suffering on the Cross. A hideous travesty of the original sublime Druidic premise concerning renewed life from death, the nucleation of opposites, and human mastery over adversity. This sadistic morbid horror was the brain-child of the Vatican myth-mongers, worshippers of the "dark side of the sun" - Lucifer-Jehovah-Aton

In northern India he is still remembered as Issa or Essa. From this word we derive "essence," "Essene" (followers of Essa) and "esoteric," etc. Other versions of the name are Hesu, or Esus, and Aesar which meant "He who creates (or brings) the fire."

The Celtic Heus or Esus was a mysterious god of Gaul. The Irish form was Aesar, meaning, he who kindles a fire, and the Creator. In this we are reminded of the Etruscan Aesar, the Egyptian sun bull Asi, the Persian Aser, the Scandinavian Aesir, and the Hindoo Aeswar. The Bhagavat-Gita says of the last that "he resides in every mortal." - James Bonwick (Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions, 1894)

The Egyptian rendition is Asir (close to Asura or Osiris). The Greek hero Perseus, and the Arthurian Sir Percival, have their origins in this Celtic Esus, or Esius. The Grecian rendition and symbolism is, however, a travesty of the original. Iesa is the arche, the original archetype upon which all other masters of light and virtue were modeled. The scandalous attempts of later Judeo-Christian myth-mongers to transfer Iesa's qualities to a stereotype of their own limited manufacture does not detract from this fact. As we saw above the root is the Aryan duw which becomes the Latin deus and the Anglo-Saxon Jeus, or Jesus.

The state of learning on the continent of Europe at that time, wherever the influence of the Roman Church was dominant, was at a very low state or non-existent. It was only in the monastic establishments maintained at different points on the continent by the monks of the Irish Church that learned men were to be found. There were practically no learned men in the Roman Church at that time. Even a century later when the Emperor Charlemagne espoused the cause of the Roman Church, he had to get Irish schoolmen for instructors to teach in the palace school which he established - Conor MacDari (The Bible: An Irish Book)

While it is acknowledged that the renaissance of learning on the continent of Europe in the early medieval period was due to Irish instruction and culture, this acknowledgement comes only in outspoken candor from German rather than from British or Roman sources. These latter have endeavored to minimize the work of the Irish philosophers, schoolmen, and monks and their learning and culture - ibid

If what Caesar says be true, that the Gauls were in the habit of sending their young people over to the British Isles for instruction, and that use of letters was known in Gaul, nothing can be more absurd than to suppose that the use of letters was unknown in Britain - Godfrey Higgins (Celtic Druids)

Opposite to the coast of Gallia Celtica there is an island in the ocean, not smaller than Sicily - lying to the north, which is inhabited by the Hyperboreans, who are so named because they dwell beyond the north wind. This island is of a happy temperature, rich in soil, and fruitful in every thing, yielding its produce twice in the year. Tradition says that Latona was born there, and for that reason they venerate Apollo more than any other god. They are in a manner his priests, for they daily celebrate him with continual songs of praise, and pay him abundant honors - Diodorus Siculus (Greek Historian, 90-30 BC)

Iesa was also known to the original Irish as Crios, a word which means "circle" and also "cross" (as in "Crisscross"). This is why a Celtic Cross is made of both these symbols. The design was astrologically based. The title "Christ" is probably a variant of Crios, and since the Irish and the Egyptians designed their temples based on the zodiacal circle and cross, the tradition passed into Christianity.

Deity is from the Latin "Deus," which is traceable to "dies," a day - a period of time measured by the sun; Jesus is from "Jes"...which means "the one great fire from the sun," and Christ is derived from "Chris," a Chaldean term for the sun - Kersey Graves (Bible of Bibles, 1863 AD)

Eventually, during the hegemony of the Solar Cult, the title meant not only "circle" but "sun." Christian saints are often shown with glowing halos while carrying cruciform staffs. In Egypt the staff was rendered as a shepherd's crook which was a symbol for the Pharaohs, Druids of Egypt. The Pharaohs wore the serpent on their headgear, and the serpent was the symbol of the Magi of Ireland, the Naddreds, or Druids. The Druids revered the zodiac above all things. Most of their legends are metaphors for Star-Lore, and encapsulate celestial phenomena such as the movement of the planets and luminaries (the sun and moon) along the ecliptic. The Druidic knowledge of astromancy was transcribed by the Bards (Poets), Ovates (Speakers), and Minstrels (Singers) into songs and tales and into the legends of "historical" personalities who had no physical existence. The idea was always that mortals should model themselves on these fictional but archetypal renditions. The Crios (as the Hindu Creeshna or Krishna and the Christ) was the exemplar of the perfected man, the divine Androgyne, the nucleation of all opposites. The Christians of later times adopted this icon and used it for their own purposes, adding the name "Jesus Christ" to their fraudulent scriptures during the Reformation (between the 14th and 17th Centuries) very late in the day.

Subsequently, the biblical editors and commentators did their best to excise and obliterate previous mention of this illustrious name and title. This term was feminized by the Romans as Ceres the goddess of the Earth. But Ceres was CHRS or Christ.

Esa was the third part of the Celtic Trinity. His name meant  "the raised one." His element was the wind. This was picked up by the Gnostics and Christians and turned into the "Ruach," the "Pneuma" and finally as the "Holy Spirit." Esa was commonly shown hanging from a great tree and often as being stabbed to death. Esa's life-blood healed the Earth. It purified and revivified the land allowing a new season's abundance. The Druids understood the land to be born again from the blood of the sacrificed god Esa.

The earth is the central creative principle in the universe that lies beneath the feat of the mortal, within which resides the god of the underworld. Through the intercession of Esus, the renewal of life is achieved every spring with the sprinkling of the blood of his raised victims - Gregory A. Clouter (The Lost Zodiac of the Druids)

If Esus was a god of vegetation, once represented by a tree, this would explain why, as the scholiast on Lucan relates, human sacrifices to Esus were suspended from a tree. Esus was worshipped at Paris and at Trèves; a coin with the name Esus was found in England; and personal names like Esugenos, "son of Esus - J. A. MacCulloch (Religion of the Ancient Celts)

This name Esus is the origin of the word Zeus. Jesus is still referred to as Essa in the Koran and was known by that name to both the Arabs and the Copts (Egyptian Christians). The Essenes were clearly named after Essa. This sect is on record as being the first followers of Jesus (also called Joshua - "the Savior") whom they believed was not the official Jewish Messiah but a teacher who lived hundreds of years previously. Bishop Epiphanius referred to them by the name Jesseans and said that they were followers of Jesus. They were a hard core branch of the Pharisaic Nazarene Church which opposed the elite Sadducees and their Jerusalem Temple. It was this Temple's high priest that Paul worked when he was an agent tracking down and persecuting Christians. The Sadducees and their agents, however, took their orders and direction from the Roman invaders.

• Gnostics were Gentile Christians and Essenes were Jewish Christians. Both groups believed that Jesus had lived centuries before the orthodox enclaves were insisting in the Bible. And both groups knew that the Christ-Archetype was not their own creation or concept. It was for these reasons that the officialdom of the early Church in Rome decided to persecute and eradicate these sects and, in more recent times, try to ban and sequester their various texts (the Dead Sea Scrolls and Gnostic Gospels, etc). Vatican appointed priests and agents were on site to monitor every stage of the translation of the apocryphal Dead Sea Scrolls after their discovery in 1947).

In the Talmud Jesus is Jeschu or Yeschu (from Yeschu bar Panthera). This is where the name Joshua (meaning "Savior") comes from. We can see that if the "J" and "Y" are silent the syllable Esu stands out. The Jewish Jeschu or Jesus is, again, none other than the Celtic Esu or Esa. The Biblical name Isaac has its origin in Isa. Isaac was the son of Sarah and Pharaoh Tuthmosis III - the true father of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.

The monogram used for Jesus in Rome and Greece was the three-lettered "IHS." Scholars know that this was first the symbol of Bacchus (Bacch-ESUS). However, in Latin the Greek "H" become "E." Thus, IHS becomes IES revealing its actual connection to Es, or Esa.

Three divinities have claims to be the god whom Caesar calls Dispater (supreme god) - a god with a hammer, a crouching god called Cernunnos, and a god called Esus - J. A. MacCulloch (The Religion of the Ancient Celts)

Prior to Constantine's Council of Nicea, which was organized to unify the world's creeds and cement the power of the Roman Church, Iesa was acknowledged throughout Europe and was known as an Irish deity. His origins were understood to be in Ireland, not Judea, and not Egypt. All Europe knew Iesa's birthplace to be Ireland the great temple without walls. The ancients of India referred to the British Isles as Britashtan, a word which meant "Seat of Religion." Iesa's aspects were worshipped under various names depending upon the culture and the facet that was being venerated. He was Osiris, Horus, Set, Aton, Amun-Ra, Ptah, Serapis, Mithras, Apollo, Dionysus, Orpheus, Zeus, Jupiter, and Sol. He was all of them and yet he was one. This simple fact has been well confounded so that we are compelled to think in terms of vast pantheons of gods morphing out of gods ad infinitum. However, it just was not the quagmire that we have been deviously lead to believe by those who imagine themselves so superior because they worship one god.

Dion-ESUS, Orph-ESUS, OR Bacc-ESUS - its Celtic all the way

The One God was..."Mentioned in Egypt 2,600 years prior to the Judaic monotheism" - Douglas Reed (Controversy of Zion)

The adoption of the name "Israel" by the Zionist state which was set up in Palestine in 1948 was transparent false pretense - ibid

Returning to the doctrine of the Savior, I have already...given so many instances of belief in such a deity among the pagans - whether he be called "Krishna" or "Mithra" or "Osiris" or "Horus" or "Apollo" or "Hercules: - that it is not necessary to dwell on the subject any further in order to persuade the reader that the doctrine was "in the air" at the time of the advent of Christianity. Even Dionysus, then a prominent figure in the "Mysteries," was called Eleutherios - "The Deliverer." But it may be of interest to trace the same doctrine among the pre-Christian sects of Gnostics. The Gnostics, says Professor Murray, "are still commonly thought of as a body of Christian heretics. In reality there were Gnostic sects scattered over the Hellenistic world before Christianity as well as after...Their Savior, like the Jewish Messiah, was established in men's minds before the Savior of the Christians. "If we look close," says Professor Bousset, "the result emerges with great clearness that the figure of the Redeemer as such did not wait for Christianity to force its way into the religion of Gnosis, but was already present there under various forms." - Edward Carpenter (Pagan and Christian)

I have told the Jesuits as well as the wiccan many times:

"Do not criticise the other's god- for their god IS our god. "

I  think perhaps they should have left the sunking as he was without all the dark side stuff.

I think that I have proven my case here.

tollerance towards all should be the words of the day.
