The Lebor Feasa Runda | Free Book
A Druidic Grammar of Celtic Lore and Magic
In his highly anticipated English translation of the ancient Irish
text known as the Lebor Feasa Rnda (Book of Secret Knowledge), Celtic
scholar and historian, Steven L. Akins, has at last made available to
readers the wealth of pre-Christian teachings espoused by the Druids
in this seminal work of pagan religious literature. Basing his
translation on the only extant transcription of the now lost Black
Book of Loughcrew, the actual doctrines of the Celtic priesthood are
finally brought to light in this timeless rendering of these sacred
scriptures.Of the 180 Druidic texts mentioned in the historic Yellow
Book of Lecan as being destroyed by St. Patrick in his attempt to
convert the pagan inhabitants of Ireland to Christianity, the Lebor
Feasa Rnda alone survived as testimony to the spiritual beliefs and
practices of the Celts in their original, uncompromised form. First
transcribed by the Druid Mogh Ruith from a series of ogham staves long
ago discovered in the tomb of Ollamh Fodhla, one of Irelands greatest
early kings, the Lebor Feasa Runda records the dispensation of a vast
store of esoteric knowledge received by Ollamh Fodhla from a messenger
of the Celtic gods known as the Tuatha D Danann.Perhaps the most
remarkable of all ancient Celtic texts, the Lebor Feasa Rnda contains
not only an account of the earliest history of Ireland and the
relationship of its inhabitants to the Celtic gods, but it also
comprises a full discourse on the Druidic religion, providing a
complete account of the sacred rites and ceremonies at the heart of
this mysterious faith.Since it was first recorded in the Black Book of
Loughcrew, the Lebor Feasa Rnda miraculously survived for centuries,
traveling across Europe and passing through the hands of numerous
individuals until it was ultimately acquired by the Ahnenerbe
Forschungs-und Lehrgemeinschaf, who commissioned its translation into
German in the days leading up to the Second World War.The original
volume was found missing on May 10, 1941, the date Rudolf Hess, made
his ill-fated flight to Great Britain, lending support to allegations
that Hitlers deputy Fhrer had taken the ancient manuscript with the
intention of presenting it as a gift to the Duke of Hamilton and
Brandon, who Hess planned to meet for the purpose of secretly
discussing peace negotiations between Germany and Britain.In the years
since its disappearance, the only known transcription of the Lebor
Feasa Rnda, the German translation prepared by Henry Thorenson for the
Ahnenerbe, fell into obscurity until 2001 when it was discovered by
Akins, who was granted access to Thorensons private records, enabling
him to complete and publish the first English edition of this
remarkable and historic work.
