Some notes regarding reincarnation among Insular 'Celtic' people, taken from the delightful book The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries by W.Y Evans Wentz. Unlike the concept of reincarnation among Hindus, the original concept of reincarnation among Proto-Indo-Europeans, and their modern descendants still in Europe, states that we are reborn as humans only, never as animals, and often as our own descendants. A good thought to keep in mind, for what greater urge for long-term investment in a society and bloodline, than the knowledge that you'll return to at a later time as your descendant, over and over again.

A testament from Wales : Mr. Jones's use of the phrase 'migrate from one body to another' led us to suspect this it might refer to transmignation, ie. re-birth into animal bodies, which Dr. Tylor in Primitive Culture shows is a distorted or corrupted interpretation of what he calls the reasonable straightforward doctrine of re-birth into human bodies only. But when we questioned Mr Jones further about the matter he said:— "The belief I refer to is re-birth into human bodies. I have heard of witches being able to change their own body into the body of an animal or demon, but l never heard of men transmigrating into the bodies of animals. Some people have said that the Druids taught transmigration of this sort, but I do not think they did — though Welsh poets seem to have made use of such a doctrine for the sake of poetry."

A testament from Cornwall: "They said that the sex always remains the same from life to life. I have never heard of any belief in transmigration of humans into animals, but in human re-birth only."

A testament from Brittany in 1909: "A son of my son resembles my grandfather, especially in his mental traits and general character, and the family believes that this son is my grandfather reincarnated"

The Aryo-Germanic Armanen Futharkh book series
