We received the sad news in Ireland last night that our dear friend
and colleague in Druidry, Rollo Maughfling, Archdruid of Stonehenge
and England, Founder of the Glastonbury Order of Druids (G.O.D.), was
admitted to hospital . He is blind and paralysed, suffering from a
lethal stroke it seems. Rollo is also Stonehenge Officer of the
Council of British Druid Orders, the largest of its kind in the world,
encompassing at least 18 Druid Orders and Associates at home and
abroad, and co-ordinating their work with many more, as the best-known
and most active Druid umbrella group on the planet, representing
17,000 Druids. Rollo is also the Archdruid of Avondale and Wicklow in
Ireland as a descendant of Charles Stewart Parnell, the "Uncrowned
King of Ireland", Ithe leading Irish patriot in Victorian times, and,
in the end, victim of the Irish Catholic Church. Rollo is also a
Member of the Council of the Order of Druids in Ireland, ODI, and a
frequent visitor to Ireland on working trips as such. He is an Irish
Druid, his name originating from the Maughlin Mountains in Mayo,
Ireland, from whence his ancestors sprang. He was married to the late
Jackie "Memory" Patterson, Archdruidess and Author of "A Memory of
Trees", was also associated with the renowned Celtic artist,
Archdruidess Una Woodruff, and is now married to Druidess Donna
Brooke, photographer, with one little daughter. It seems as if Rollo
is going to have a massive battle to survive and leave hospital ever,
that's the terribly bad news we received last night. Twenty years ago
Rollo administered as Presiding Druid to the Faithful little band of
Druids who turned up at Stonehenge as their Archdruid, and went on in
recent years to preside over 30,000 Druids, Pilgrims and rRevellers
who turn up there now. A great orator, if he goes he will be a massive
loss to Druidry in the British Isles, we keep our fingers crossed...

Our thoughts and prayers will be with Rollo, his family, his friends and
associates as he fights to recover. If he chooses to pass on, may his next
life be as filled with accomplishments as this one was and may his legacy
grow in goodness.

LATEST on Rollo : Relief ! His eyelids are paralysed, he can't speak -
but he has been discharged from the hosptital in a wheelchair to the
care of his family. At least the Grand Old Man of Druidry survives, if
only to dictate his memoirs when he's better .

And Better News from the Warband (Arthur): Rollo is now almost
recovered, can see and speak again, but he has to take it so easy that
he will probably be never active again. Still, he's alive and well,
and that's everything to be thankful for.

Good news too: Both sides in England have drawn up a Truce. Arthur has
stepped down from the Council of British Druid Orders, CoBDO, to
accept the Council's greatest honour of Honoured Associate. I bear the
same honour for the past nine years. And it is that, a great honour
with no 'power'. His Loyal Arthurian Warband has declared itself
independent and left CoBDO altogether. Druidry is now progressing in
Unity throughout Britain. And they have adopted a New Rule too that
not a word can be said either for or against ANYBODY, not over the
Net, not in public, not anywhere. Accordingly, all Irish Druids are to
follow suit. We are determined that Peace now breaks out throughout
the British Isles amongst all Druids. Anybody breaking the Truce will
have their beards shaved off permanently. Women breaking the Truce
will not be allowed to shave themselves for ten years !!!

You haven't a clue, have you ?
In the Council, we Honoured Associates take precedence in public
ceremonial as we are given the Honour of Head of Procession.
Thus the Council acknowledges our Precedence in Wisdom,
And listens to us.
In all things we contribute to.
It is a magnificent honour. I am the only Irish Druid ever to be
accorded this Great Honour, unanimously, at the Invitation of the
whole Council seated around the Great Table and voting together for
me.
I never applied. They choose me.

Now continue to gnash your teeth and weep in envy - and think of Rollo
as this time.

Michael.

Michael McGrath
Archdruid of Ireland, ODI,
Founder of the Order of Druids in Ireland, ODI, 1993., ODI
Honoured Associate of the Council of British Druid Orders, CoBDO
The Reviver of Druidry in Modern Ireland to the Outer World.

PS: Now, forgive me, as I have to ready myself to play the warpipes on
the march with my old band, James Stephens Pipe Band, Kilkenny,
Ireland, tonight. Cheers, Michael.
(This was written earlier, Piping over for the day, had a wee dram
with the new Mayor, and then up pipes and drums as we marched away to
"After the Battle is Over" down High Street - Ruiseart would know
it. I was on tenor drum as really I am usually a "dummy piper" droning
happily way on the march when we haven't a full complement of pipers -
but I'm coming along well on the warpipes, after 55 years a member of
the band ! )

And now, back to Nojnden's regrettably sneering comment, as Rollo lies
among the stricken:

The Council often approaches us for our specific advice in fields in
which they consider us Honoured Associates expert, and they have
indeed come to me on many an occasion. That is what I am here for.

Only Order Chiefs have actual votes. Permanent Officers and Honoured
Associates do not. For instance, should Ruiseart & Ceit apply for
Order membership, they would qualify - and immediately have votes
around the table !

As an Honoured Associate - you can't apply for it, you must be chosen
unanimously by full unanimous vote of the Council, all permanent
officer assenting too without even a single abstention - I serve
amongst fellows including Professor Michel Raoult an Archdruid of
Brittany, author and scolar; The Honorary Olivia Durdin Robertson, FOI/
DCD; Professor Roanald Hutton, Author of The Triumph of the Moon,
Chair of History , Bristol University, and so on...Rollo will join us
Elders, shortly it seems.

Casting a vote is not everything. There is little division anyway,
decisions of the Council are usually arrived at through dialogue and
discussion.

In this way we believe that the Council is a showpiece for the rest of
Druidry, most of whom we represent anyway throughout the British
Isles, Brittany, France and Western Europe, also maintining live and
continuous contact with the American Orders such as Keltria and ADF,
with Australia, New Zealand, Canada and even further afield , in the
Service of Druidry.

Michael.

I have the Honour accorded to me by all my peers.
I will die happily with that !

(BTW, all I have to do for the vote you attribute so much importance
to, is to have the ODI put me forward to the Council as their
Representative, as they did and as has happened before).

I adore this, the Greatest Honour that can be bestowed on any Druid in
the World today. I repeat, you cannot, nobody can apply to be an
Honoured Associate of the Council of British Druid Orders. You can
only be awarded it by decision of the entire Council unanimously, as I
was. And as I am and stand here today, Honoured Associate CoBDO.

You could stick a PhD in (if you had one) and all the Doctorates you
like, they would be useless, they could not get you Honoured
Associate.

I think even the most dense person can now clearly understand.

But not "our" Noinden :-)

Because every fibre of his body is so racked with jealousy that he is
virtually beyond recovery. Noinden is not a Druid, he is not a PhD,
not even a College graduate.

He is on record as trying to break up by being a nuisance the pagans
of Milwaukee. Before that in New Zealand he practised Crowley rituals
as a nove plus sex magic. He also attempted black magic but didn't get
far in that either, though he is one of the Evil Ones - we have been
well warned of him.

He could know nothing of the Bright Heart of Druidry - except to
destroy it if he could and as he tries to do here.

Ahhh again with defamation. It's illegal even in Eire.

Lad I've been a known "Druid" around these parts longer than you have
been online. Then again National Socialists such as you are such
idiots. By the way an old friend of your's (Greywolf) has some very
VERY interesting comments to make ;)

He is of little education or intelligence, but is very clever. He has
no martial arts awards and is in reality an insignificant little
coward.
He mouths about OBOD membership though Philip Carr-Gomm has never even
heard of him ! He likewise boasts of being with Keltria although there
is no account of him ever being a member there either.

Noinden is a plausible rogue, that's all. May somebody guide him
eventually to his senses.

(He does have a magnificent obsession with swords and the like).

You can have him, Dan !

Indeed I have no Martial arts awards beyond my Phase test
certificates. Combatives is not a martial "art".

I think you are wrong about Mr Carr-Gomm, as we have exchanged
correspondence about certain maters most recently. He enlightened me
about you and your level of actual correspondence with him! Further,
you are so dense to actually think that the LEADER of the OBOD is the
one to talk about memberships? Foolish you!. I paid for a family
membership for one Nzdryad and myself back in 2003.

As for the Henge of Keltria? Try again, I pay my dues, just as I do
with the NOD, and the ADF and the FF. Thus you are a proven liar.
Indeed I know for a fact a well placed member besides Searles posts
here on occasion ;) I’ve been a member of them on and off since
1999/2000.

I notice you are not foolish enough to try the ADF to attack. Indeed
you really as a claimed CoBOD member not attack them as they are
listed on the CoBOD site. The current ArchDruid is fine man too, Isaac
the ArchDruid emeritis is an old curmudgeon and proud of it.

So keep defaming me old chap. My Solicitors are taking notes. You are
reaching yoru quota.

You can have him because nobody else wants him or wants to have
anything to do with him - especially his local Milwaukee pagans who
are sick and tired of trying to get him off their backs and to stop
being a nuisance annoying them.
They are good folk and he should be considerate enough to leave them
alone in peace. Noinden is the type who does not know when he is not
wanted, he sufferes a crisis of rejection which has turned him into a
manipulative psychopath.

See how he weaves and ducks and uses peoples names, people who haven't
even a clue of his existence, the miserable poor fellow. And now he
blusters about lawsuits for defamation. I cannot be sued for telling
the truth, and this man of the dark hates the truth because he cannot
confront it, but the truth now devours him. He now drags out names of
people and organisations that would not have anything to do with him
even if he came under their notice. He is a classical narcissistic
personality, as any wise person here knows full well by now.

But you have not told the truth. Post proof I had anything to do with
Crowley style Magical rituals. Go on, I double dog dare yah.

You can not.

Why?

Because it is a lie.

You are not the "truth against the world" or other such Mesopagan
crap. No you indeed are a liar. You try to defame those who are able
to show this. Hoping that if you say something enough times it will
become true. You lurk here to try and be important, but in reality
Eire, and the UK either do not know who you are, or they cringe at
your name as an embarrassment to all and sundry.

Even Mel refuses to admit he has anything to do with you. Indeed the
"I've emailed with him once or twice" is the reply he always gives.

I must ask Big Young Mark from New Zealand - he's seven and a half

And, as for OBOD, the only people getting any joy in there are:

Stephanie and Philip Carr-Gomm,

Lovely people too.

I believe that Philip will be famous
as the most stylish prose writer of our time.
His Introduction to "The Druid Renaissance" is a Work of High Art,

And he sent it to me in typescript to look it over for him
prior to sending it to the publishers,
I cast a cold critical eye over it.
and could find no fault.

And in returning it to him with my remarks,
I gave him a couple of ideas that he included
in his own inimitable style -

(If only he knew what the ODI traditionally knows of True Druidry)

What a writer !

Michael.

(Stepanie too is a delightful person to converse with).

We thank you for posting of the ArchDruid, Rollo and letting all know
what has happened and updating us all too on his health.

We were hoping to come across the pond in 2 years and possibly meet
him.

He is in our most heartfelt thoughts and well wishes from us here in
Texas!

Thank you, Opalsec, Rollo is the nicest person in Druidry, he really
cares for everybody, you have brought us back to where we should be
here, and not taking advantage like this spoiled brat Noinden here.
Rollo's wife Donna wrote to me to tell me via email on Saturday last,
and through me to all of us here in Ireland, to tell everybody, that
Rollo is recovering very slowly at home, and that although he can't
speak or open his eyelids, he is still running Druid affairs from his
wheelchair ! Hopefully he will be well recoved for when you come over
in two years' time. Rollo, Donna and family, great personal friends of
mine, of everybody, are in fact living in Wales this past couple of
years - you must call in here to Ireland too and see us all when
you're over. Rollo, though born a scion of a wealthy family in England
- no less than six of his forebears were British Government Home
Secretaries over the past couple of hundred years !!! Yet you will
always find Rollo with the ordinary people, the down-and-outs, the
poor, especially the New Age trailer people, another reason why fifty
thousand of them would follow Rollo to Hell and back ! Rollo is no
doctrinaire Leftist, no smoked salmon Socialist, yet he is always out
there doing everything he can for the ordinary people, these
Dispossessed. of England's fair land. Indeed when Rollo was Chief
Negotiator with the British Government over access to Stonehenge for
worship, and when they gave in to him and gave Druids the right to
worship and celebrate there, Rollo stepped forward and told them
bluntly that he would not accept their terms, that all of the new
agers, indeed all the people, everybody, must have freedom to visit
Stonehenge too in celebration, they at first baulked - and then gave
into him. They had to. Before that they had to call up thousands of
Police, with two British Army regiments held in reserve on Salisbury
Plain, and bloody battles ensued. A direct descendant of one of
Ireland's greatest patriots Charles Stewart Parnell, Rollo even looks
uncannily like Parnell, and has the same personal magnetism - you can
actually feel the goodness in him and his absolutely unyielding
devotion to Druidry. As Archdruid of Stonehenge, Glastonbury, and
Avondale in Ireland, he is without doubt the world's best-known and
best-loved Druid. He loves Ireland of his ancestors the most, and his
pint of Guinness here too. I'll tell Donna to pass it onto Rollo that
you're thinking of him from as far away as Texas, bless you.

Michael.

Part of a mass spamming exercise to save Connors' Business www.druidschool.com
from well-deserved extinction. Ah sure you can gaze at that other
horrible "Druid" mishmash, OBOD, and sadly wonder, "If Carr-Gomm can
pull it off and fool the Pagans and Druids and Wiccans of the world
and haul in two million bucks + a year , why oh why can't I, Connors,
do it too ?

Simple, the Shadowy figures behind OBOD are top-flight Freemasons as
are Carr-Gomm's publishers too !

(Send Dwyer around to sign up at the Grand Lodge of Ireland,
Molesworth Street, Dublin 2 - that imposing building which is the real
centre of money power in Ireland across from Dail Eireann - "Grant me
the power to issue a nation's money and I care not who makes her laws"

Don't we know it! He was banned of King Arthur's website for
theatening and making vile suggestions to the Archdruidess and
community who were trying to stop spamming the shoutbox. A nasty piece
of goods. Ranted on about burning Arthur's book on Tara and said all
sort of nasty things about Rollo too.

Oh and he can't even get the illness report correct. Rollo was ill but
a lethal stroke? Lethal means it was fatal Mr educated. Best not to
engage in defending yourself against a lunatic with too many titles
who thinks he is above all.

I was insulted by a peasant on Arthur's site which is not a Druid site
anyway. And Arthur himself is a self-declared Gardnerian. I have never
said a bad word about Rollo in his life, THAT IS A BLACK LIE worthy of
Connors. As Arthur is not a Druid, as he declares, he does not come
into it anyway - I will not be drawn onto attacking him. Arthur is no
angel - most Irish Druids do not like him, there was and is a
rebellion by Druids right across Western England against him, to the
extent that I have often had to apologise for him here - but he does
carry out an essential role in the Stonehenge campaign,

Now spout off, Fountain !

You are only here to cause mischief and disuunity beyween Ireland and
England.
BTW Arthur's book is a personal diary type of thing, therefore not
Druidic, and co-authored by the "comedian" PJ Stone.

Arthur's own moral behaviour has never been the best at the best of
times, and we all here try to ignore it as we see the effectiveness of
the man in the Cause of Stonehenge.

Now email Rollo via his wife my dear friend Donna Brooke,
Do...@glastonburyorderofdruids.com - Rollo and I are as Brothers to
the End.

You , on the other hand, are a Complete Unknown, Liar and Slanderer.
Be proud of yourself :-)

Luckily, I'm out of Arthur's reach in Ireland, hehehe -
it would be even-sptephen by the bookies
in any battle between us -
I prefer the battles that I know I'll win :-)

Seriously this is a Big Step out Of Line
- it has to be Steve Best:
I welcomed him and Denny & Co to Tara,
But I walked the Hill publicly with Rollo only,.
Giving him the place of Honoured Guest
right before them.
I suggest you contact Galahad
and show him what they are up to -
they won't like that
as they live off his decency
and generosity -
in fact they surround Galahad like Vultures,
always getting him to pay for everything.

I sensed the honour of Galahad at Tara
and thus welcomed him especially -
he is way out of place
amongst those trairous rogues and vagabonds,
thankfully we do not have to put up with them in Ireland -
They're Arthur's worry
and nearly the death of Rollo :-)

Also, Mum, get in touch with Debbie (of Portsmouth),
- Archdruid Dylan ap Thuinn's widow,
also an administrator on the warband site,
now Arthur's second-in-command,
and tell Debbie that
Steve Best, the "Bard of Ely"
has struck here
mouthing about their website,
me, Arthur, and some woman administrator of hers there.

(Dylan, as Debbie knows, was one of my friends and colleagues, bless
him).

And, no, Dan has nothing to do with this posting,
He wouldn't know the principals involved,
or what is involved either,
and I presume
could care less. .
