Reverse Vision

ט"ז באייר תשס"ז

In my previous post, I discussed the "3 and/or 4" fire-related phenomenon shared by Celtic and Jewish mysticism. Specifically, the phenomenon is encoded within the Celtic fire festivals and the Hebrew letter shin.

Another point is striking about this shared anomaly - the northern parts of the ancient Celtic world are associated with observance of 3 fire festivals (as opposed to 4), and by extension, with the 3-shin of chochmah. The Zohar connects the north itself to the element of fire. Consequently, one would expect the north to be connected to the 4-shin of binah as opposed to the 3-shin of chochmah. Yet, one element of fire is "hidden" in the Celtic north. Instead of the 4-shin, the 3-shin of chochmah (and the right pillar) is revealed in the Celtic north.

In the Celtic system, the south connects to the element of fire. Thus, in the southern parts of the ancient Celtic world, the 4-shin of binah (and the left pillar) becomes revealed through the observance of the four fire festivals.

Taking this together, the data suggests that the Celtic system and the Hebrew system are ezer knegdo to one another with respect to the eternal flame phenomenon, like opposite reflections face to face. In other words, each may be the reverse vision of the other.
