Forward from: Meister Serrano

"The Druid symbol is the four-leaf clover, considered up to the present as a sign of good luck and happiness. It is a non-existent flower already. The four-leaf clover is a swastika that spins, forming a double eight, sign of eternity, of the twice born, of the immortality won in hard combat. It is also a carbuncle fallen from the sky. It is the Gral. Furthermore, it symbolizes the division of society into four and the harmonious organization of the world of those times. The Druid was seated in the center of that flower."

excerpt from The Golden Cord, 1978.

In the Celtic Fairy Faith the "Liminal Gods" are those who occupy the place between the Gods and the Fair Folk.
The Liminal Gods, as the term implies, occupy the transitional area between the Gods and the Fairy Folk.
According to Morgan Daimler there are many, but four of the prominent liminal Gods are, The Lady of the Greenwood, The Lord Of The Wildwood, The Queen of the Wind, and the Hunter.
The Lady of The Greenwood and Lord of the Wildwood are associated with the summer half of the year and the Queen of the Wind and The Hunter the Winter half.

Rowan-Part 4
Ancient Druids used to burn Rowan wood in order to receive shamanic messages of warning and danger, especially before battle. Its red berries are considered the blood of the Gods.
Druids made platforms of woven Rowan known as "wattles of knowledge" used as a bed during the ritual known as tarbh fheis, seeking a trans state to gain hidden magical knowledge. While little is known of the ritual today, the wattles of knowledge may have been used as a visionary power plant as well as a practical resource.
The protective attributes of the Rowan have been used for millenia, and a slip of Rowan clearly intended for ritual use was even found in a Bronze Age burial mound in Denmark. Rowan trees growing in inaccessible places such as the cleft in a rock face or within another tree are thought to be especially powerful.

I think the most common argument against following ethnic Aryan Faiths is that we dont have a written book or text that tells us what to do or believe. I've never thought of that as a weakness at all. If anything it's a strength. We can think for ourselves. We dont need to be fed lines out of a book. Our Gods dont want us on our knees, they want strong independent people who can think for themselves.

Rowan-Part 3
Rowan, like Birch is connected to the God Lugh, who slew his grandfather Balor, with a spear of Rowan through his cursing evil eye. The Rowan spear is a magical weapon more than a practical weapon.
More in relation to the lore of the Rowan is the female Druid Dreco, the granddaughter of Caerthann which means "Rowan". Dreco also carried a spear of Rowan.
Rowan is also sacred to the Goddess Brigid, in regards to its fiery and solar attributes. She is said to have three fiery arrows made of Rowan. Brigid is associated with the number three, and her name drawn from Breo-Saighead is translated as "fiery arrow" as well as " the bright or high-one." Imbolc, a celebration associated with Brigid also falls during the month of the Rowan.

Rowan -Part 2
Luis can mean "flame" or "herb." Traditionally Rowans were an assembly point for warriors as told in "The Lays of Fionn", especially in the tales called "The Rowan Tree of Clonfert" and "The Wry Rowan."
The name Rowan comes from the Gaelic Ruhda-an meaning "the red one."
The Rowan is usually considered a magical tree more so than a practical one.
In Brehon Law the Rowan is one of the seven peasant trees and is known as Caerthann.

The Rowan, or Quicken Tree is known as the "Enchantress of the Woods." Rowans can live up to 200 years and retain their shape throughout. They like higher altitude and grow well in the Scottish Highlands.
Rowans are known for their clusters of red scarlet berries that appear from August to October and its frothy white blossoms that show from May to June.
