The Beth Nesaf Network for Celtic Heritage promotes
music with mainly Celtic language lyrics or using Celtic traditional
instruments because we believe that language and music is
an essential part of our culture. Some Celtic Heritage regions
have been forced to lose their Celtic language but there has
been a resurgence of Celtic culture expressed in a vibrant
variant of the conqueror's language with Celtic elements.
In addition, as out tradition dictates (the 'Leagues'), we
have formed many alliances with other cultures which have
given rise to vibrant fusion music.
Highlight of my trip to the Sill Road was dancing with a
beautiful Uyghur girl - the dance involved proposing on one
knee with a red rose between my teeth :-) Wonderful, warm
and romantic people. These clips for my Uyghur tour guide
Ocean from Turpan. Turpan was one of the 4 great cities of
the Tuath De Danann called Murias. It was the home of Simias,
one of the 4 great wizards who taught the Tuath De Danann
their "magic" skills. Simias's "magic"
skills that he tauight our ancestors were herbal medicine
to treat and cure illnesses. The great libary in Turpan was
shown to the world in the movie "Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon
Emperor", though it existed in the Han and probably not
in the Qin Dynasty as far as we know. Many documents written
in the Byblos Pre-Proto-Celtic Tocharian language outlined
much "magic" including a bounty of herbal medicine
that was to form the basis for Chinese Herbal Medicine later.
The "Cauldron of the Daghda" that became called
the "Holy Grail" later is still visible in the wonderful
Chinese display of Tocharian artifacts and mummies in the
Urumchi Museum in XinJiang. It is a pottery cauldron with
the symbol of the Dagdha (as from Newgrange lintel stone)
painted on it. It was used to cook up herbal medicine hence
the regenerative power of the Cauldron of the Dagdha and the
Cup of Life as outlined in our legends. The Tocharians and
their descendants the Kushans and the Uyghur played a pivotal
role in the formation and development of Chinese civilisation
(including religion and langauge as well as medicine)..
