Dlui Fulla, The Druid's Poppet Draíocht

Did Druid's use Magick, spells, incantations, etc. The short answer is yes and some of us still do.  Although seldom discussed in Facebook groups of Druid major organizations or interest pages (that I am a member of) in our ancient past we were considered the Masters of Magick, Conjure, Curses, Rosc and Spells.

See "Ár nDraíocht Féin >  Our Own Draíocht" Ref. 3

What is to me, so interesting in "Dlui Fulla" reference, we get a glimpse of how one type of Draíocht or spells was done and even a hint to who started this practice. And it ties in well with other well-documented magick crafts, still very much in use today.

>>Dlui Fulla, or fluttering wisp, a wisp of straw, hay, or grass, on which
a charm or incantation was pronounced (SPELL)for a person. It was called Dlui Fulla
 (recte Fullon,) from Dlui, a wisp, and Fullon or FulIa, the name of the druid who first practised the art of pronouncing charms or incantations on a wisp of straw or hay, etc, hence Dlui Fullon literally means Fulla or Fullon's wisp, ii. 203, 204. << Ref. 1



There is also another view of Fullon's Wisp or The Madman's Wisp. I explored it some time ago. Ref. 4

What is a Poppet Doll?
In folk magic and witchcraft, a poppet (also known as poppit, moppet, mommet and pippy) is a doll made to represent a person, for casting spells on that person or to aid that person through magic. They are occasionally found lodged in chimneys.^[1] These dolls may be fashioned from such materials as a carved root, grain or corn shafts, a fruit, paper, wax, a potato, clay, branches, or cloth stuffed with herbs with the intent that any actions performed upon the effigy will be transferred to the subject based on sympathetic magic. It was from these European dolls that the myth of voodoo dolls arose.^[1][2] Poppets are also used as kitchen witch figures.

Poppet - Wikipedia

Ref. 3 
Draíocht - One of the three primary arts, the word is used to refer to what we would now call "magick" (in both the simple and the ritual sense). It means "the use of powers to effect ends." Spell-casting, the use of evocations and invocations, the practice of chanting, circle dancing (intended to bring about a particular end) and other arts are all considered disciplines of draíocht.  http://www.isisbooks.com/celtic-springs.asp

"As Above, So Below."

The Magician displaying the Hermetic concept of "As Above, So Below."

The actual text of that maxim, as translated by Dennis W. Hauck from The Emerald Tablet of Hermes Trismegistus, is: "That which is Below corresponds to that which is Above, and that which is Above corresponds to that which is Below, to accomplish the miracle of the One Thing." Thus, whatever happens on any level of reality (physical, emotional, or mental) also happens on every other level. Ref. As Above, So Below


So what is the meaning or importance of this Hermetic Maximum?

The fact that the "Above and Below" is a Two Way Street.

Call it Summerlands, The Astral Planes, Heaven, or any other of their many names. The serious conflicts on Earth-Gaia reflect that there are serious conflicts in the higher dimensions also.

Yes, the Ancient War Rages on.

Cleromancy or Cartomancy?

 For Prophets and Seers (Fáith / Uates / Ovates / Vates)

The Reader's Gestalt advantages of an unpredictable pattern forming by the casting of lots, bones, pieces etc.can not be overlooked.  While this is also more mysterious to the client that often knows the general position meaning of  Cartomancy or Tarot Spread.

>Gestalt theory states that we perceive objects or events as an organized whole with focus on the “figure” against a background. In essence, when we “see” something our brain automatically creates meaning through its configuration and the configuration is influenced by our experience and learning.

<< Ref. 4

This allows a more three-dimensional psychic impression to form in the Readers Third or Minds Eye.

Yet depending on if Reader does use a positional mental grid for pieces meaning of attributes. For lots, this can be harder to remember both at the most important times of Casting and of reading.

If Reader does not use a Value or Attributes grid. The reading meaning must come from readers Gestalt and this is much harder or impossible for those that can only parrot canned values and card interpretations from a book.  

 I do a ten bone tell but this method was sent to me by a spirit. Which one I have no idea. It should use two sets of human hand finger bones (rewired fingers) but I use bird bones.


There is a lot that can be said about Relics, Bones, Spirit, Blood, Marrow, and DNA but it is all just theory

Eschatology

A more detailed and not Christian limited definition:

eschatology noun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Theological doctrine of the “last things,” or the end of the world. Mythological eschatologies depict an eternal struggle between order and chaos and celebrate the eternity of order and the repeatability of the origin of the world. The most notable expression of mythological eschatology is in Hinduism, which maintains belief in great cycles of the destruction and creation of the universe. Historical eschatologies are grounded in datable events that are perceived as fundamental to the progress of history. Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all have historical eschatologies. Eschatology in the Hebrew Scriptures sees the catastrophes that beset the people of Israel as due to their disobedience to the laws and will of God and holds that conformity to God's plan will result in renewal and the fulfillment of God's purpose. In Christianity, the end times are thought to have begun with the life and ministry of Jesus, the messiah who will return to establish the Kingdom of God. Millennialism focuses especially on Christ's second coming and the reign of the righteous on earth. In Shi'ite Islam it is believed that the mahdi, or restorer of the faith, will come to inaugurate the last judgment, in which the good will enter heaven and the evil will fall into hell. In Buddhism, eschatological traditions are associated with the Buddha Maitreya and with Pure Land Buddhism, as well as with individual efforts to achieve nirvana.

Solar Eclipse Ritual:

A Lamp of the Art, (Candle) lite just before it begins, representing the old and put out at its start.
Along with a New Lamp lite at its the finish.
With appropriate petition list (wish list) burned in the first Lamp just before you put it out of what should end, die, diminish.
And a second petition list burned with the lighting of the second Lamp of what should Start, Grow, Mature, etc.
Scatter or grind the ashes of the first petition on, into the ground at the center of Eclipse. Releasing your first spell.
Blow the ashes Sunwise (into the Sun after the end of the Eclipse of the second petition releasing your second spell. Saving the Eclipse Energy: Lite a small fast burning Lamp at the beginning and put it out at the end, saving the melted wax for future spells. One could also mix oils etc during the Eclipse to save this energy. And yes, of course, this all should be done outdoors facing the Eclipse but not looking into the Sun without Correct Eye Protection. I like using the pin hole in an open box method casting an image of Eclipse on the end side of it.

Mythology (Bookshelf)

http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Mythology_(Bookshelf)

From Project Gutenberg, the first producer of free ebooks.

The word mythology (from the Greek μυϑολογία mythología, from μυϑολογείν mythologein to relate myths, from μύϑος mythos, meaning a narrative, and λόγος logos, meaning speech or argument) literally means the (oral) retelling of myths – stories that a particular culture believes to be true and that use the supernatural to interpret natural events and to explain the nature of the universe and humanity. In modern usage, "mythology" is either the body of myths from a particular culture or religion (as in Greek mythology, Egyptian mythology or Norse mythology) or the branch of knowledge dealing with the collection, study and interpretation of myths.

—Excerpted from Mythology on Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia.

Editor's Note: Project Gutenberg contains hundreds of books on mythology, both scholarly and popular works that introduce readers to the wealth of myths, legends, tales, and folk stories among ancient and modern cultures from around the world. In compiling the Mythology Bookshelf, the aim has been to select books that focus on or at least deal with some aspect of creation myths - stories that specific cultures believe to explain the origins of the universe and of their place in the world. For additional books on folk tales and legends, please see the Folklore Bookshelf.
