These gifts are the four Treasures of the Tuatha de Danaan, a race of people who inhabited Ireland in the Early Bronze Age before the coming of the Celts. They are ancestral rather than elemental, yet they are also connected to the Sidhe (shee), or fairy beings. They are like segments of an orange, separate, but still part of the whole. We as humans, are also part of that whole, we just do not recognise it yet.
The Tuatha De, or Tuatha de Danaan, as they were originally known and which means The Godly People, or People of the Goddess, were viewed as a supernatural race whose portals into the Otherworld lay beneath the surface of the human world or beyond the sea, in Sidhe Mounds, or burial mounds. The Tuatha De interacted with humans and the human world, controlling the weather, the elements and the fertility of the land. They were masters of elemental energy and understood the light-grids in the land and how to work with them.
When they first came to Ireland, they brought with them four magical tools. Each tool came from one of the four great cities in their country of origin: Falias, Gorias, Murias and Finias, and each one had a healing function which worked directly with the energy of nature and within the human body.
The Four Treasures were the Sword, the Stone, the Spear and the Cup/Cauldron, energies we are learning to work with again. While I was being taught this system, I was gifted these treasures in various places of antiquity where the Tuatha, as elemental consciousnesses, still reside. it was only through using them, that I understood their nature.
I am still learning.
Once you have received one of these gifts, in energetic form, you are then gifted the ability to use the energies.
The first instrument is The Sword. (This is a different energy to that which is received in the first initiation). In landscape work, it is used as an acupuncture needle, opening earth vortices, or chakras, and allowing healing energy into the physical body of the earth. It is also used to anchor solar light into specific points around the world: in river beds, lakes and the sea. Remember when Arthur pulled the sword from the stone? The sword belonged to Sovereignty, the Goddess of the Earth and because he was capable of working with her, he was able to remove the sword from the stone, representing the land, thereby opening an earth chakra which allowed her energy to flow once more. This opening brought fertility and growth to what had become a wasteland after the Romans left.
The second treasure is The Stone which anchors you in the sacred landscape of the ancestors. It connects you to the primordial energies of creation thereby allowing you access to the energy matrices of the planet and its creative energies. It allows you to be part of the earth, to understand the uses of stone in stone circles, to access the memories and knowledge anchored in stone, and to work with them in their energetic state. Incredibly grounding in nature, they give you access to crystalline-consciousness, bringing stone awareness to you. Stones hold memory and their quartz content acts as a holder of solar energy which holds specific patterns and functions. Stones are the physical anchors of energy, ‘holding’ the energies in the earth so that they flow in the right direction. They are like ancient computer programs you can work with, upgrading and changing the template for the future.
The Spear is used as a channel for directing solar energy. It is like a laser, sending light to create energetic boundaries around sites, or connecting and renewing the original intent and function of a stone circle. It makes the circle whole again by binding together the stones as if all were still there and functioning as a whole. You will often find it activating when there is an energy containment necessary, or when you are fulfilling a certain personal healing work which affects the place you live in. With the spear-energy anchored in your Field, it automatically gives you the ability to carry out this work.
The Cauldron is the ‘holder’ of vital healing energies which you are often given when you need healing; your own healing is very much bound up with the healing of the earth. It contains the wisdom and knowledge of the Crone, and the ancestors. Once you have become connected to the ancestral guardians of a particular ancient site, especially one you have been actively working with, you may be ‘called’ to visit. When you go, the guardian has either information or a ‘brew’ to share with you. This brew contains berries and herbs and you may see the brew being made so you can identify what herbs are being put in. If you then research those herbs it may give an inkling of what is being healed. Cerridwen’s brew is a more potent brew and when you see a pot of bubbling green soup you will see or feel her ladling a cup-full for you to drink. When this happens you know you are about to experience healing of a deep emotional nature.
Once all four treasures are installed in your Energy-field, they are used for both personal healing and landscape balancing. You and the land are One, so the healing you experience influences the healing of the planet, through the collective unconscious.
