Ancient linguist and engineer specializing in Druid Akkadian, the language which Neolithic farmers brought into Europe. All European languages are a mix of this and the later arriving Indo-European languages. Past is Pagan. See https://www.druidwisdom.org/
Just received the book and started reading it. This will be a great read. I highly recommend this to anyone else interested in Christian descriptions on the last surviving Pagans on the margins of Europe.

We can translate Minoan Linear A now along with the longer Phaistos disk and slight later texts from Serabet el-Khadim. Only Academic nationalists keep insisting we can't despite the overwhelming evidence. www.druidwisdom.org/druid-rune-t...

Too bad the text is not readable because Linear A has been deciphered. Its just the nationalist old guard does not want to admit it because of what it means. www.druidwisdom.org/druid-rune-t...

Its older than that. As NK this same Akkadian word is found on the European runic texts coming from the Neolithic farmer language (who migrated out of northern Mesopotamia). It is the source of the English word "naked" due to proximity in space and time. www.academia.edu/127047369/Dr...

Amazing proof of correlation between eggs and a pomegranate. These cultural clues are more important in my opinion then treating this simply as art.

Actually it is Skadi as indicated by the label on this pot from Etruscan Vulci. The other side also shows Skaldi with Druid Akkadian text. Etruscan studies have been polluted by Greek assumptions. French National Library Number: De Ridder.920a.

Well done! The past is Pagan. The translations of the runic texts will give future Pagan scholars a ton of new material to chew on. The point about being trapped in the monotheistic paradigm is true. Just describing Paganism as polytheistic instead of perceptheistic is an example of that.

Yes, this is deeper than politics, it is cultural. This reflects the religious dualism the West inherited from Zoroastrianism and which then found its way into Judaism, Christianity, and Islam (good versus evil). Only nature Paganism incorporates the middle ground from ancient times up to now.

Minoan Linear A is in Akkadian as are all the runic texts around Europe. This is the language of the Neolithic farmers and hundreds of those texts have already been translated and its dictionary published. Akkadian words are even found in English. Translations at www.druidwisdom.org

Initially words were not separated by spaces. This era was the time of transition during which spaces were becoming standard. Other common separation mechanisms were colons and dots. I also don't think we should assume it is a boundary marker without a good translation.

I don't know. This seems to be Latin "An ab estas" meaning "are you from here?"

Probably neither. Wings indicate a sky-shell level deity, non-classical due to clothing, disk is likely the sun so this is a representation of a sun god having some sort of problems.

No, its just too clunky compared to specialized games meant to do that sort of thing. Jousting, shooting arrows, flying dragons around an obstacle course are good though.

Not really. Something more is going on here. She is older than most and is dropping the mirror. She is the center of some zodiac signs. The closest parallel is the younger and more regal Vénus d'Arles collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/5335...

Yes, The Roman church could not stand that the Irish church remained independent from their control. As far as I can tell the Roman church only got that control after the Norman/English invaded Ireland.

So it was Tertullian who began the false identification of magi with kings. I suspect he wanted to end the tradition that Jesus was involved with ancient magic. Interesting.

That is really interesting! I have not appreciated that contemporaries so strongly differentiated the "mystery cults" from the standard royal deity pantheon.
