The points raised here regarding the disputed legitimacy of GLOAE by UGLE and other accepted constitutions is acknowledged. However GLOAE and the Grand Secretary were purely only instumental in the genesis of the research I have done here this far. The information initially communicated by the Grand Secretary has been found to be quite accurate thus far as regards the Céile Dé priesthood and their place & roots in antiquity. The modern institution that claims direct lineage from the Céile Dé amounts to a moot point as regards the relevant subject matter of this thread, though as I mentioned in a previous post a I will be looking further into the veracity of their claim. The thread content is not an extension of the claims of the Grand Lodge at York. It is a work unto itself.

The thing to be remembered is that the majority of this post uses information from many solid, academic reference works, but the post is an example of the synchromystic approach to these matters, and I believe that it has founded a solid base to conduct further, more intensive research as result of this unorthodox method.
My initial work here is a staging post only towards the advancement of the content, and to see where the road will end.

I have a lot of questions about the true provenance of the Kolbrin. It seems that if such a text were legitimate, scholars would be all over it as a most valuable historical source. Instead, the only references to it I can find are on ridiculous "PLANET X IS COMING WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE" sites.

There is also a strange connection here with the Vulcans of Star Trek, who form an illuminated priesthood of their own. I mentioned this briefly in the
SecSun comments. And Leonard Nimoy was in Star Trek (2009) with John Cho, who was in The Air I Breathe (2007) with Kevin Bacon.

I suspect that the Johannine tradition split from the Petrine at the very beginning of Christianity, and this event is recorded in the last chapter of John:

20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? 21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? 22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow thou me. 23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

This whole passage is ridiculous unless it is understood that the apostles Peter and John—"the disciple whom Jesus loved"—represent the two churches, the exoteric and esoteric.

Yes, the Kolbrin is associated with a whole lot of the Planet X phenomenon. But I prefer to read the whole text myself, investigate, research, and make up my own mind. The Kolbrin I received was from this website in New Zealand:

The Kolbrin

Someone who has read the book suggested that site as perhaps having the more "legitimate" text (who knows how you can judge legitimacy in this case?) than the Niburu/Planet X/2012 Kolbrins that you can get on Amazon.
If you go to the following link from the above site there is opportunity to read large parts of the text:

Read the Kolbrin

I'm in the process of collecting a large number of accepted, academic historical texts on the Céile Dé/Culdees, the Kolbrin will be assessed and referenced according to those texts. And vice-versa. See what correlations can be made, if any.

Yes, the six degrees of Kevin Bacon is the foundation stone of this thread. I have been found out on this previously.

But the Vulcans? Yes, very masonic.

Yep, I've come across this previously. Thanks for reminding me though, I had forgotten about the "exo" and the "eso" interpretations of that passage.

I am saddened that on this forum in particular, falsehood and propoganda on behalf of the Moderns form of freemasonry is repeated, which gets us nowhere in respect of the origins of the true and genuine form of Anglo-Saxon Free Masonry. You would expect to see it on forums controlled by members of The United Grand Lodge of England and its satellite organisations but not here where we might expect a fair and rational approach to evidence and fact.

POLICY STATEMENT ISSUED AT YORK, FEBRUARY 2006

The Grand Lodge of All England wishes to confirm for the purposes of absolute clarity that the legitimacy and authority of The Grand Lodge of All England at York derives from its lawful act of constitutional restitution effected at York on Friday 23rd December 2005 according to English law, European law, Masonic law, Masonic practice and tradition, and upon those ancient laws traditions and landmarks obtained through the practices of Free Masonry since time immemorial. The Grand Lodge of All England is therefore beyond the jurisdiction of any other Masonic body, either at home or overseas, particularly but not exclusively: The United Grand Lodge of England; The Conference of Grand Masters of Masons of North America and its constituent Grand Lodges.

Any attempt to link or associate The Grand Lodge of All England, also titled The Grand Lodge at York, the Ancient and Honourable Society and Fraternity of Freemasons meeting since time immemorial in the City of York with any individual, body, bodies, organisation, organisations, association or associations, whether Masonic or non-Masonic must be regarded as entirely false and possibly malicious unless supported by a written Treaty of Amity or Agreement ratified by The Grand Assembly of Masons at York or a Convocation of The Grand Lodge of All England, at York.

Peter Clatworthy
Grand Secretary
Grand Lodge of All England

Now, this thread is not about me, or The United Grand Lodge of England, which as far as I know does not claim any connection with the Culdees.


The Culdees of York was the name borne by the Canons Regular of St Peter's of York (York Minster: Cathedral and Metropolitical Church of St Peter in York) about AD 925. (SOURCE: p.615, Volume V07, Encyclopaedia Brittanica 11th edition, 1911)

Ah, the Grand Secretary of the GLOAE. Welcome to the thread. Despite our little clash of swords on another forum I will look forward to how masons present on this board respond to your posts as it regards the Céli Dé/Culdees.

I'm still researching the subject right now and won't be posting anything substantial here for quite some time. Its become quite the project for me.

Our webpage www.grandlodgeofallengland.org... has been updated. The Grand Lodge at York has announced the acquisition of a fair copy of a unique manuscript in the Gaelic tongue, dated c. AD 798.

This historic manuscript is reputed to have been written by Óengus mac Óengobann, better known as Saint Óengus of Tallaght or Óengus the Culdee, an Irish bishop, reformer and writer.

Unlike the Higgins document, which was used by the Céile Dé Priest Masons at St Peter's at York (York Minster) c. AD 927, this manuscript was used at Tallacht Abbey, the mother house of the Culdee (Céli Dé) movement in County Wicklow, Ireland. This Abbey was co-founded by Maelruain and Saint Óengus in AD 774.

Looks good. The Culdees of the British Islands by William Reeves has some pretty damn good information in the Appendix of Evidences too (if you know what you're looking for) for anyone interested. The main body of the text serves as a very decent timeline & record for the various Culdee monasteries/settlements of Britain, but is immensely dry.

That's a useful quote. Thanks. I shall quite possibly use it. But as the quote addresses researchers who have approached this from a purely Celtic Christian Church angle (often being ecclesiastic themselves) don't overtly make mention of the operative masonic angle to the Culdees (or don't refer to it at all), and I can't see that it is because they have a lack of primary and secondary source material to inform them of the reality.
The real gems I have found have been in the footnotes and appendices of people like Reeves and O'Dwyer. Though the eventual paydirt is in York the more academically accepted historical roots in Ireland seem highly significant too. The translation of the place name Clonmacnoise is key also I feel. "Meadow of the Sons of Nós." But what does Nos very possibly mean? And what were the Céli Dé also referred to as? It would all seem to tie in. I shall report what my research points to soon.
