(January 2, 2025) Druid culture was perceptheistic in that divine powers were more felt than seen. Personification of the deities only started in a big way when empires began and their distant male rulers were perceived to be similar to the nature gods by the locals. Since rulers were male, the divine feminine started to be downgraded at this time. These deities tended to be organized into royal courts.
Consequently, Druid images of deities are usually quite rare except in a few instances involving the goddesses where the Druid cultures have been in contact with the empire cultures of Egypt, Rome, and Hellenistic Greece. This rarity of imagery has has eased the Druid culture's suppression.

Asher
Asher
(January 2, 2025) The goddess Aseru (Asher, Asherah) is the life form shaper, sculptor, and revealer. She is the helpmate to Yahu/Yahweh. Feminine powers either allocate or direct the raw power generated by their complementary masculine power which in this case is Yahu/Yahweh. Asher reveals forms while Kate/Hekate reveals souls.
Asher is the Akkadian word ASR (asiru, asaru, eseru) meaning "enclosure" or "enclosing one." An "enclosure" is an epithet for the womb which allows life-forms to be shaped and sculpted. Asherah with its letter he (H or E) ending means power of Aseru.
She is rarely mentioned deity of the Runic texts apparently because her pregnancy role was mostly taken over by Kate/Hekate. Her figurines tend to exist prior to literacy except in Israel.
The Codex Runicus, shown above, was written in 1190 CE during the reign of Danish King Valdemar 1 according to the old Danish writing on its front page. This important book is the last testament of the Druids and the most complete statement of their philosophy which exists.
The Codex Runicus is now a part of the Arnamagnæan manuscript collection University of Copenhagen in Denmark. The collection in its entirety consists of approximately 3000 manuscript items, of which 1400 are in Copenhagen.
The collection is named after its founder, the Icelandic philologist and historian Árni Magnússon (Latinised as Arnas Magnæus, in Danish Arne Magnusson). Shortly before his death in 1730 he bequeathed his collection of manuscripts and printed books as well as his fortune to the University of Copenhagen, where he was professor of Danish antiquities.

(January 3, 2025) The Codex Runicus describes the middle-ground Druid theology in which life powers can be properly associated with the magical motion/emotion powers. The life powers make the connection changes in the life network and the motion powers push the fertility-fluids through those connected threads/channels. This way dominate in Aegean Islands and mainland Europe. Contrast this way with the life power devotion of the Israelites and the magical motion/emotion power devotion of the Minoans and Phoenicians.
A debate between those devoted to the life powers and those devoted to the magical emotion/motion powers often breaks out during a drought when each side seeks to blame the other's powers for the drought. This has been good for history because these arguments have given us most of our archaeological stone texts because each side wants to write down their viewpoint on stone.
- Are not : the weavers (Vates) isolating the enemy? : Emotion-power's (Awen's) : manifestations are lacking : Su's Sirius. : Nourishments can be opened by offerings arousing the Form-Revealer (Asher). : Reveal those nourishing-powers. (page 6, verse 12)
- Reveal the boundary-powers to the Helpmate (Asher). Form-manifestations can lack high-life-powers. Manifest astrology-magic. Don't do astrology-magic to weave the eagle-vultures. Astrology-magic can nourish Thu. (page 7, verse 4)
- Energy disciplines the Form-Revealer (Asher) : Thu can be aroused by the nourishing of astrology-magic : The boundary-powers : do not do-astrology-magic. : Is not : the boundary energized by Su? : Thu : can open the involvement : of Su's conductor (star Sirius). (page 7, verse 8)
- Eagle-vultures : of Thu can be liberated. : Open involvement. : Emotional-arousals can be involved with the drought. : Thu can liberate form-revelations. : The Revealer of fertility-fluids (Asher) is not an enemy of spiritual-purification. : Don't do astrology-magic : for Thu. (page 25, verse 2)
- .... : Don't do astrology-magic. : Seers can bud the changes. : Open Involvements. : Don't do astrology-magic. : The Revealer of fertility-fluids (Asher) can reveal activity's changes : of the life-manifestations. (page 25, verse 10)
A well preserved barrow on Anglesey island, home of the last stand of Druids against the Romans in Britain.
Stoney Littleton Long Barrow is located near the village of Wellow in the English county of Somerset.
Chambered long barrows were constructed during the Neolithic between 4000 and 2500 BC. This one is thought to have been constructed around 3500 BC. The stone structure is about 30 metres (98 ft) in length and contains a 12.8 metres (42 ft) long gallery with three pairs of side chambers and an end chamber.
The tomb was first opened around 1760 by a local farmer to obtain stone for road building. The site was excavated by John Skinner and Richard Hoare in 1816-17. The excavation revealed the bones (some burned) of several individuals. The mound was restored in 1858 by Thomas Joliffe. Some of the artefacts from the excavations are in the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery.

Burial Mounds May Represent Either Asher or Kate/Hekate or Maybe Even Both.
Burial Mounds May Represent Either Asher or Kate/Hekate or Maybe Even Both.
(Updated January 2, 2025) Kate/Hekate is called the “Mounded-One” (Akkadian TaLu) in Druid texts in reference to pregnancy due to Kate/Hekate being the source of regenerated and reincarnated life, Asher represented the final process of manifesting that regenerated life. Her symbol was the barrow. Only the western Mediterranean seems to have figurines of her.
While burial mounds exist the world over these womb-like and cave-like burial mounds seem to be exclusively Druid. Barrows can be circular or a long tube. All have some sort of central chamber and many have a ritual site outside their entrance where the powers of the ancestors can be called upon.
