Celtic/Druid Anciently

There are 1,300 stone circles (or megalithic rings) in England.

Stonehenge, the most famous, represented the “domain of the dead”

Only a select few were buried at Stonehenge over the centuries, 240 people in all.Slide3

Celtic during the Advent of Christianity

The circular design around the cross is unique to Celtic tradition.

Explanations of the meaning and origin of the encircled cross vary by folk group.

The scrollwork carved into the stone is traditional Celtic Knot iconography.Slide4

Modern Celtic/Druid

An emphasis on the interconnectivity of all living things.

The circle is a prominent emblem, from the way the congregation stands, the method of scattering the ashes if the deceased was cremated, to the Druidic recitations.

Yama’s

realm

Cremation

only men go to the siteinfants are buriedThe closest male relative lights the pyre

12 hours after cremation the males sprinkle holy water and gather the ashes and deposit them in Ganges or a river or ocean with garlands and flowersSlide13

Ritual Impurity

During the preparations up to a year the family will not attend temple, marriage arrangements, visits, etc

Cloth covers mirrors and pictures are turned in

Hindu do not suppress mourning but do not condone consistent sadness for they believe the spirit is aware of the families emotional state and negative emotions hold it to the earth.

On an odd day after cremation the family gathers for a feast of the

dead’s

favorite foods and offers portions to their photo and ceremoniously left at the abandoned seat.Slide14
