Excerpts from Irish Druids and Old Irish Religions

"It is evident" says he "that the druid believed in the eternity of matter in an atomic condition, and also in the eternity of water, and that the passive, that is, the feminine principle of the Divine nature, pervaded both from eternity." -- "He imagined a period before creation began, when darkness and silence pervaded illimitable space." -- "The Sun is the son of the Creator, who is referred to by the Druids as the higher sun of the circle of Infinitudes above the Zodiacal sun." -- "Wherever the solar rites relating to the ancient worship had been performed, those places were still regarded by the masses as sacred."
