This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

They are not just Celtic. In fact, the best source I know for information
on these ancient religious/magickal practices is the Icelandic sagas.

Also it's not always an artificial mound. Often it is a natural hill or
mountain. What matters is that it have the proper alignment to the Sky,
basically. Kings and priests and so on are buried in these places, from
which they are sometimes held to have returned (see my post with the
subject "Mound Dwellers").
