DLW-0008 ALEXEI KONDRATIEV'S LOREKEEPERS COURSE 1.0


We will be reviewing a lost but recovered course by Dear departed ALEXEI KONDRATIEV, whom I never had a chance to meet and know but wish I could have had.

There are many great but lost or almost lost Druidic teaching sites hiding in te archives of the World Wide Web. This is one of them.

While copyrighted by the deceased Alexci, the recovered course and site was put together by dedicated Druid friends of his. as of this writing all modules were accessible except two workbook pages. I highly recommend that you right away start a folder on your computer and than save each section to it . I go from main page (Index) to a section, control S to save it in folder, back arrow to index and out to next section, etc etc etc.

As you will see as you read the home page, the create sites we all have lost, and there is no granite this site will remain either as it to seems dormant or dead.

Yet this is a wonderful body of work, ideas and well referenced also, which I really love. As I keep trying to suggest always download the Authors sources when possible and study them as closely as possible.  

While many active Druid Orders have some Public materials free. Good free Meat and Potatoes Cauldrons of real Druid study are are rare. So I will instead of paraphrasing these great works, just share them from time to time.

In the course there  there are homework assignments, it would be nice if you would share your efforts and thoughts on all these modules as you get time to do them with the Class.

know I have already added some of Alexie's work into another study I am doing. Great stuff!

What does Old Irish term Bri mean?



>>The sacred tree or Bile was considered such because of its origins, its location for rituals and its nature, all in a threefold way. Everything is sacred but some things become elevated over others through choice and ritual action. Each thing has its brí from the gods but the combined spiritual/magical energy of a thing or place can be increased through buas.This is as true for trees and places, as it is for objects like swords, wands, staves and crafted items.<<

Astro-Theology, Many Gods, Many Crucifixions, Cultural and Religious Appropriation






While Astro-Theology, is both very Paganic and Druidic related and the links here give  great and graphic explanations of Solar and Earth relationships.
 As seen and experienced on earth sometimes refereed to as the Seasons or Wheel of the Solar Year.

 Perhaps some would say much of this Cross business is not Druidic related. At least until Roman had its ways with the Druids and the Celts and  we are forced to extract much of our history out of Christian culture / religious Appropriation and obscurantism. The site offers a compact and interesting look back into unspoken of history that any Druid should (I believe) know well.





Astro-Theology:

EGYPTIAN RELIGION AND ITS REALTIONSHIP TO JUDAISM AND CHRISTIANITY

JESUS CHRIST'S DESCENT INTO HELL AS RECORDED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT....TRUTH... OR A SUN-MYTH RETOLD?

THE RE-BIRTH OF THE SUN...THE WINTER SOLSTICE





And yes I believe we should use any resource that gives us a better understanding of historic ideas  and believes, no matter who's  or why it was created.
