509:1 A similar state of high development is to be assumed for a great Celtic hero like Arthur. who were he to be re-born would (as is said to have been the case with King Mongan, the reincarnation of Finn) bring with him memory of his past: unlike the consciousness of the normal man, the consciousness of one of the Divine Ones is normally the subconsciousness, the consciousness of the individuality; and not the personal consciousness, which, like the personality, is non-permanent in itself. This further illustrates the Celtic theory of non-personal immortality.

  1. Good Morning!

    I have just been enjoying your site and am wondering how I might get a copy of the “Celtic Doctrine of Rebirth” article for my own information only.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Regards,

    Rob King

  2. It’s available as part of the larger text at:
    http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/celt/ffcc/
    I’d recommend purchasing the entire book, however.
    The Fairy-Faith in Celtic Countries

  3. I’m writing my MA thesis on the origin of fairies in celtic literature, faith, art and other.
    I’m very glad I found this site and it will be a great help - thanks.

    Best regards,
    Alex

  4. Alex : Good luck with your thesis on faeries. I hope you find the resources here of some help (including the links).
