Sexy Druid Warriors always aid one’s interest in ye olde Celtic practices.

Celtic Astrology is fascinating, of course, but like Geomancy (the Celtic version of Feng Shui) not nearly enough is known about it, thanks to the persecution and genocide of the Pagans.

It has it’s own Zodiac & we’re all trees! I think it’s beautiful, though sadly incomplete…We are soon in the time of the Hazel Tree:

“20 July – 16 August


The Hazel was the tree of wisdom and it was a crime punishable by death to fell one. It was thought magical skills and knowledge could be gained from eating Hazel nuts. Hazel people are artistic. They have lively, analytical minds and make inspiring teachers. Imaginative, they are radical and idealistic thinkers.

The Ruling Deity – The Sea God Manannan Mac Lir, a master of disguise, rules this sign.

The Druic Animal – Salmon – To the Celts, the Salmon is the oldest and wisest animal, symbolizing inspiration – Hazels need to express their creativity or they can become morbid and introspective

Planetary Ruler – Mercury

Ogham Word – Coll”

YOU can go read the rest at the above Celtic Astro link. Or just Google but be aware that peeps bicker a LOT over Celtic Astrology. And if you click on the witch-burning link, that damned book (Malleus Malificarum) was like a best-seller. Can you believe it? I read the whole thing one go on a day long ago in a sterile but comforting university library & found it so scary. It’s so dry and legal. But imagine your local council using it as their handbook. I had to keep looking up to remind myself that i was surrounded by trees, freedom, laws and relaxed students of all races & sexual identity, religion et al.

And what Tree are U? Does it FIT?

Robin Gibb’s Pluto Transit

Robin Gibb, from ye old Bee-Gees days.

It’s such an iconic look, it truly is.

For those of you that don’t trawl thru sleb crap as I tend to on occasion, Robin Gibb is an ex-Bee-Gee & v.wealthy Saggo muso. His extra-marital antics (fathering a baby with his way younger housekeeper) prompted the fabulous Daily Mail headline: Straying Alive. The story is bats.

Mr Gibb was born on Dec 22 1949 & that particular year the Sun went into Capricorn on the 23rd. Odd then that his wife, who says she is a Druid Priestess and also born on the 22nd of December, refers to him as ‘a Capricorn’.  And she wear a leopardskin coat. I don’t care if it is fake. Surely a druidess does not wear leopardskin??? It would be way better if she has a gigantic leopard as he companion animal, non?

From the Daily Mail article:

“Mrs Gibb, 56, a poet and playwright, had a strict Catholic upbringing in Kilskeery, Northern Ireland.

The former lover of a pornographic film director, David Waterfield, she has been a devotee of various religions and once proclaimed herself as a druid priestess.

In recent years, she has been a member of a Hindu sect called the Daughters of Brahma, whose members are meant to be celibate.

A friend of the couple said: ‘It’s an incredibly unusual arrangement.

‘At first, Dwina was happy for Robin to sow his oats because it allowed her to stay committed to her Brahman beliefs, but she never expected him to actually plant his seed, as it were.

‘Incredibly, Claire (Claire Yang, the housekeeper) continued to live at the family home as her pregnancy developed. When the truth came out, Dwina was furious. To say she hit the roof is an understatement.”

Okay – he IS a Saggo but she is born – if the date is correct – on Dec 22 1952. So SHE is a Capricorn. Fancy claiming as a fellow Cap, which she does in this article…This may be part of the problem. Anyway, he has Venus in Aquarius trine Neptune/South Node in Libra..SHE has Venus in Aquarius at the same degree with Mars and conjunct the North Node. She’s more the Aquarian avatar & blazingly forward-thinking, clearly trying to have this pioneering open druidic marriage going on.

So anyway, Jolly Jupiter ploughs over their mutual Venus in Aquarius & you’d think it would be great but wham – he goes and gets the housekeeper up the duff & then calls a press conference to claim it is a gift from heaven. Jupiter is always excessive. Always a little bit more than even a Capricornian-triple-Aquarian Druidess who wears leopardskin coats would predict.

This rant, airily throwing in Absolutely Fabulous, Cherie Blair & the Anti-Christ + how the happy couple met is even battier. It makes me feel sensationally bourgeois & sedate.  And, Mr Gibb has been having a Pluto-Sun transit for the last few years. First the death of his twin brother & now this…
