including mystically all I have said.* The Chief Druid of his 
age was the priest and representative of the great luminary, 
a visible god upon earth. f 
Pantheism. 
The Bardic system teaches that God made all things out of 
Himself, J or in other words : 
“ From the particles which He collected out of the infinite expanse of the 
circle of Ceugant, and collocated in order and just arrangement in the circle 
of Gwynvyd as worlds, and lives and natures, without number, weight, or 
measure, which any mind or intellect but Himself could possibly foresee or 
devise, even if it possessed the endless ages of the circle of Ceugant. 
“ Of what materials did God make the worlds ? 
“ Of Himself , for existence having a beginning does not otherwise take 
place. 
“ How were animation and life obtained ? 
“ From God and in God were they found ; that is, from the fundamental 
and absolute life, that is from God uniting Himself to the dead or carthli- 
ness ; hence motion and mind, that is soul.” 
From this we must understand that God did not create the 
ultimate particles of matter, but found them in the Ceugant. 
So that we start with the absolute reversion of the grand 
truth so clearly propounded in the first verse of Genesis, that, 
in the beginning Elohim created or formed the ultimate 
particles of matter, both of the heavens and the earth. 
We also learn that, instead of God being, as taught by Our 
Lord, I1NETMA, Spirit, He is HU the mighty, not to be 
known or understood apart from His creation. 
“ The smallest of the small 
Is Hu the Mighty, as the world judges, 
And the greatest, and a lord to us, 
Let us well believe, and our mysterious god. 
Light his course and active ; 
An atom of glowing heat is his car. 
Great on land and on the seas, 
The greatest that I manifestly can have, 
Greater than the worlds. Let us beware 
Of mean indignity to him who deals in bounty.” 
The “ mysterious God,” as it is translated, is in the original 
u Duw Celi,” that is to say, “ God, the secret one reminding 
us muck of Jupiter Ammon, which has the same signification, 
also of the altar to the Unknown God at Athens.
