Are the Celts Gods?

The question even I have for them is: "Are they really celtic gods that I am talking to"?

This question is rather visual in its answer.

Imagine if you will that every aspect that we should strive for or every aspect of ourselves that is iconic, is given it's own island.   Now imagine that island is covered with a dome of energy.  That dome is filled with people.  It's not crowded, but there's really no connection like gravity, so it just appears full. 

I call these conclaves and this is the image I get of who I am actually talking to.  It is not the specific name of the person or their aspect, but a representative from the group whose goal is to present the aspect to the best of the conclave's ability.

So take one of the "gods" I talk to, Albion.

The aspect of Albion is first as a long lost friend, but also as a state of pure peace.  It's a friendship that is stronger than your best friend and literally feels like the old high school buddy that you totally forgot about.  It's that kind of sensation of reunion that represents friendship.

The peace of albion is something else as well.  It's like a combination of the best vacation you ever took with all the ability to release all of that tension that has been building up around you.  It is instantaneous and it is powerful at the same time.

I refer to these "gods" in quotes, because of the reference they use to these ancient gods of celtic myths.  Maybe they really are those people/gods from those myths, but there's no real way to be sure.

It's also besides the point.  The reason for why they choose to communicate seems to be greater than trying to figure out why the name is what it is.

Take Taranis for example.  Taranis came across and said to call him Thor.  He wasn't really Thor, because Taranis talked a lot about protection.  Nevertheless the comparisons between the two are evidence of someone or some group quite similar in approach and aspect.  It only proves the point that it's not as much about the name, but rather the ideas and concepts they are trying to portray.

Another thing to realize is that there is some gender to every one of these aspects.  Take Medb for example.  She called herself "Lady Dionysus".  In one way that's right, but in another way, that's not right.  If it was Dionysus, then why denote the lady aspect?  The key is that when she came across, she used a name that was easier for me to identify with, although that wasn't the correct one she wanted to be known by.

So what is the reason why the names had to align together in such a manner?  That one is an interesting question in and of itself.  Maybe it has to do with the idea of these conclaves themselves.

Take the whole idea of the sun god.  In greek, it's Apollo. In Egypt, it's RA.  For the Celts, it's Lugh.  What's the difference between these?  Is there a difference?  I think there is and it all has to do with grouping first under a conclave and being affected by its many other sub-aspects.  Medb for example represents a combination of celebration and war, while the greeks have Dionysus and Hades as seperate versions of these aspects.  Maybe the deal about these ascended states has to do with these aspects.

When we look to ourselves and what makes us better people, we're not always in agreement.  For some it's love, for others, peace, and for yet others it might be joy.  Not exactly the same, right?  What if you are one who supports joy and chaos, or instead enjoy chaos and peace.  Maybe these are aspects that you attempt to attain in spirit?

If we ascend as some people expect the human race to ascend to, we need to look at these models as some kind of aspiration template for why we're ascending in the first place.  Now maybe these conclaves are just some kind of spiritual school meant for an post human state of existence.  You spend your time working within the aspects as part of some ascendancy training.

I doubt that's really it, but honestly, how can we expect to understand even the slightest thing that is beyond ourselves.

I tend to think of it this way.  If we go away from this world, we go to a place where we are joined with beings at a higher level.  Maybe we sit next to the "Big - G God"?  We need to know our aspects and opinions about what is highest for us, because these aspects are the direction we are headed toward.  It may also be how these aspects are connecting to us.

It's almost as if there's a magnetic process that brings the two sides together.  Us as individuals, and the conclaves represented individually as the gods they are.

Does that make them gods any more than we ourselves could think ourselves as part of a god aspect?  The answer is in how we view ourselves.
