to6 PHGINICIAN ORIGIN OF BRITONS & SCOTS

This -early introduction of the Serpent-cult and its fetishes into Ireland in the Stone Age by these Matriarchist Vans now explains for the first time the real origin of the numerous traces of Serpent-cult in Ireland and Alban in prehistoric and early historic times—the many prehistoric sculptured stones carved with effigies of Serpents, the interlacing Serpent-coils as a decorative design on prehistoric stone monuments and on monuments of the Early Christian period, and the numerous references to Serpents and Dragons in Ireland and Alban in the early legends. It also explains the tradition that “ St. Patrick-theCat’’ (or Khatti or Scot) banished Snakes from Ireland by the Cross, or in other words banished the old Matriarchist Serpent-worship by introducing there the Religion of the Cross in 433 A.D.

The later title also of “ Brigid’ (or “ Bridget ’’) for the female patron saint of the Irish and the Picts, which is usually supposed to have arisen with a more or less mythical Christian nun in Ireland, who is supposed to be buried in the same tomb as St. Patrick, is now seen to be obviously the transformed and chastened aboriginal old matriarch wizardess who in the Gothic Eddas is called Frigg, or Frigg-Ida, the “ Mother of the Wolf of Fen ” of the pre-Gothic or pre-Aryan aborigines of Van. Brigid is still given precedence as a “wise one’’ or wizardess over St. Patrick in the eleventh century “ Prophecy of St. Berchan ” :—

“ Erin shall not be without a wise one After Bhrigde and St. Patrick.” 4

Her alternative title also as “ St. Bride” is confirmatory of this origin, as ‘‘ Bride’ was a usual title for Mother Frigg and her wizardess sisterhood priestesses in the Eddas. These sister wizardesses are often collectively called in the Eddas “©The Nine Mothers’’ or ‘‘ The Nine Maidens”; and are described in the Welsh and other Celtic legends as ‘‘ The Nine Witches of Gloster,” feeding with their breath the Fire in the Cauldron of Hell.2. This now accounts for the many
