Exploring Spiritual Connections: The Similarities between Mesoamerican Deities and Irish Mythology

Leave a reply

Introduction:


Mythology is a fascinating area of study that reveals the beliefs and values of a particular culture. Every culture has its unique mythology, and these stories often have similar themes, imagery, and motifs. In this article, we will explore the similarities between Mesoamerican deities Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan and the biblical figure Satan, as well as the linguistic similarities between the Irish myth of Cuchulain and the names Setanta and Lugh. We will also postulate upon a possible spiritual connection between the ancient American world and Ireland, which has been expanded upon and inserted into the Bible.


Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan:


Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan are two closely related deities from Mesoamerican mythology, both of whom are associated with the feathered serpent. The feathered serpent is a common motif found in different cultures across the world and has many symbolic meanings. In Mesoamerican mythology, it was believed that Quetzalcoatl was responsible for creating humanity and teaching them various arts and crafts, including agriculture and medicine. Kukulkan, on the other hand, was worshipped by the Maya people and was believed to bring rain, wind, and good harvests.


Interestingly, there are some similarities between the imagery associated with Quetzalcoatl, Kukulkan, and that of Satan in the Bible. For instance, Quetzalcoatl and Kukulkan are often depicted as serpents, which is also a common symbol associated with Satan. Additionally, Quetzalcoatl is often referred to as the morning star, and Satan is also called the “son of the morning.” Both of these deities are associated with the dawn, and the symbolism of the serpent and the morning star suggests that they are linked to ideas of knowledge, wisdom, and transformation.


However, it is essential to note that these similarities do not imply any direct influence or connection between Mesoamerican mythology and the Bible. Rather, it is more likely that these similarities reflect universal human experiences and concerns that are expressed through different mythologies using similar symbols and themes.

This section explores the idea that Irish Bards and Druids have thought the world and much like we have monks in Christianity and Buddhism and Guru’s in India teaching the world today, within the ancient world were Bards who travelled the world teaching humanity.


This book reflects upon the idea of how certain peoples, are connected to a cosmic cycle which enlightens them within bringing them back to the truth and God, while reflecting upon my awakening and recounting this journey of discovery I became convinced that the island of Ireland lay very close to a once known ancient global trading center or civilization named Atlantis or the land of Punt as the ancient Egyptians knew it and that some Irish were also connected to this cosmic cycle enlightening them within, bringing new ideas and technologies into the world and reestablishing old knowledge and languages which had been forgotten.

While observing maps of the supercontinent Pangaea, it is interesting to see how the world looked 200 million years ago, wherein if we consider that the pyramid cultures in Africa and Meso-America existed over 200 million years ago, we find that all the pyramids are beside the ocean in these maps.

We could conclude that these cultures are this old, while they all worship some sort of reptile within their pantheons, much like how we today worship the image of man as our god because man is the most dominant species on the planet right now.

These cultures worshiped the likes of the feathered serpent, Quetzalcoatl and Kukulcan, because the reptile or serpent was the most dominant species 200 million years ago, whereby at the edge of each continent in Pangaea is a dominant pyramid culture, these cultures include the Inca’s, Mayan’s, Aztec’s, and Ancient Egyptians.

This book reflects upon the idea of how certain peoples, are connected to a cosmic cycle which enlightens them within bringing them back to the truth and God, while reflecting upon my awakening and recounting this journey of discovery I became convinced that the island of Ireland lay very close to a once known ancient global trading center or civilization named Atlantis or the land of Punt as the ancient Egyptians knew it and that some Irish were also connected to this cosmic cycle enlightening them within, bringing new ideas and technologies into the world and reestablishing old knowledge and languages which had been forgotten.

Upon this realization that Ireland was close to the center of a vast trading empire and kingdom, and realizing that there perhaps and possibly is a Gaelic or Celtic kingdom which stretches throughout the world, to lands in America to the west and as far east as Asia.

This idea of how Ireland was once at the center of our Galaxy, “the Milky way” is reflected upon when reading about the “Battle of the Boyne”, where Protestant forces eventually triumphed over the ruling Irish, while some recount how this battle was a cosmic battle and that the river Boyne itself once ran through the Galactic center.

It may also be worth noting, how the word Gaelic and Galactic have similar linguistic constructs, alluding to a relationship here within the Irish language and its links to cosmic or Galactic events, portraying the idea that the Gaelic cross itself describes our suns transit across the Galactic center, how the cross is the Galactic cross and the circle behind it is the sun, how Christ may have visited Ireland in a more ancient time as he awoke through life within his spiritual transit across the Galactic plane or cross and that the term Irish may not originate in Ireland but may be something which describes a visiting race who have links to the “Rishi’s” in India who may have once called Christ Sri, Re’s or Irish.
