I reiterate that any truly unbiased analysis of historical data indicates that Saint George’s day is nothing more than a counterfeit Christian celebration, based on much earlier indigenous Pagan tradition. However, I am reminded that today is Saint Patrick’s Day so here are a few thoughts on this tradition.
Similarities exist between Saint George and Patrick with Ireland’s Saint Patrick’s Day and Christian subversion of more ancient truths.
Laughable claims that Saint Patrick drove the snakes from Ireland are extremely ludicrous.
Ireland thawed out the last time only 15,000 years ago. Since that era, 12 miles of cold water in the Northern Channel separate Ireland from Scotland, which does harbour a few species of snakes. Ireland however has no snakes because they simply cannot get there. As the glaciers melted, sea levels rose. Ireland was separated from mainland Europe by the sea long before the climate became warm enough for snakes to migrate that far north.
The comical Church fabrication of Saint Patrick driving snakes from Ireland was first hatched up by Jocelin of Furness in the late 12th century, around 1185, in his Life of Saint Patrick.
Earlier texts about Patrick, including his own missionary writings and 7th-century accounts by Muirchú and Tírechán, make no mention of snakes. The ill-considered and quite absurd snake narrative is more than symbolic; it’s well-exposed Church spin. It’s one big fat lie and simply a way of representing Patrick’s role in eradicating the ancient, native, earth – based, spirituality of the Irish peoples, in favour of the alien Christ cult from the East.
Celebrating Church - based ethnic cleansing? No thanks!
Snakes referred to in the Saint Patrick myth are not meant in the precise sense, but refer to the native Pagan people of the land. Saint Patrick (his well-promoted religious influence) drove the Pagan Celts out of Ireland and this particular snake myth displays this agenda of religious hate against the native spiritual ethos very well.
The shrewd Church propaganda machine used Patrick to baptise (infiltrate) Ireland’s ancient Pagan culture, rather than destroy it entirely. By claiming Patrick had repurposed sacred wells and hills, the Church clandestinely hijacked older heathen sites of worship without isolating the local population. This clever ecclesiastical ruse worked well and made the switch over to Christianity feel like a trustworthy evolution led by a Church – created hero, rather than a foreign (Patrick was not native Irish but he was Romano-British) usurper.
Celebrating on Saint Patrick’s Day with drinking and much frolicking ironically marks the spread of xenophobic, intolerant, Christianity throughout Ireland and the suppression and conversion of the native Celtic peoples.
Both George and Patrick are deeply emblematic of a type of religious – based ethnic cleansing that would be seen as outrageous intolerance in today’s society.
Are you honestly thinking for yourself? Alternatively, are you just like the rest of the well-indoctrinated sheep, permitting ‘others,’ with concealed agendas in pious chapels made by self-righteous men to do it for you?
Our British or Irish spiritual heritage goes back much farther than the pious evangelists would ever have us believe. So folks. grab your shillelagh - walk proudly into the fresh Irish Sea breeze and always remember that your liberty should never be for sale to the highest ecclesiastical bidder...
It marks native Irish folk being manipulated away from their ancestral heritage, their indigenous religions and the devotion to their aboriginal, earth-orientated, deities through ongoing communal and psychological pressure.
Such gross religious colonialism holds nothing positive and is little more than a celebration of ethnic cleansing committed by an aggressive fundamentalist regime.
Of course, you may spit and curse against this news. But if you do then it just goes to show what a grand job the Church, with its centuries of skilful Abrahamic propaganda, has done on your trusting mind!
