The Warrior Within

This group will explore what it is to be a Warrior. Over the years a theme has developed in my classwork and counseling. It seems that we humans have a difficulty understanding this concept

I have charged the LightWorkers. For not doing what they where called opon to do. There are more and more Warriors coming to wake. More healers, more seers, more of all that is Pagan are coming to wake. For in the times to come all that is Pagan will be called opon.

Aye, Lord Michael you are truly well versed on the way of the Scot's and such. Not many folks know of what you speak and the ones that do don't understand it. 'Twould it always be so valian that men today would defend their beloved ones in such a way... mayhaps no so violent, more in the verbal assault. Our ancestor were proud and honorable though they had much taken from them and still to this day, they suffer under the British rule... Seems the "Clearances" did not run all of them off...but a good many left in order to survive.

nice to meet you Lady Laura. i believe the reason they fought skyclad is when they went into the "riastrad" or "berserk" the metabolism increased as well as amount of endorphines, adrenaline and testosterone pumped into their system, it is written that their bodies would produce a great amount of heat in "warp spasm", so as to not overheat they would rip off any clothing.

thank you Lady Gwendolynn, and you are right as to how many view the berserkers. they were fierce and brutal to their enmies but when losing means your women will be raped and children sold to slavery you must resort to that primal animal mindset. Cuchulian was fierce when in the "warp spasm" but loved for his loyalty and kindness off the battle field, a true hero.

Aye, Lady Laura I'd no given thought to the smurfs but love them to pieces. Mayhaps that is the reason...Lord FireFromHeaven you are quite right about the woad paint.. And I suspect that the idea for such "skyclad" fighting, indeed had come from the Viking Berserkers...and while on the topic of the Berserkers, I might add, though considered by most has animals with no heart, they did what they had to in a very violent way to effect the fierce "aura" that seemed to incompass them...Well said my Lord....it is apparent that you are very well informed in the ways of our Ancestors

yes the Scots and the Picts in Northern Scotland both fought skyclad , the Highlanders and Picts used woad as war paint. Viking berserkers(bear) and ulfhednar(wolf) fought with just the animal pelts. not all fought skyclad, usually it was elite warriors who could enter the "warp spasm" or "black rage" or "riastrad" in Gaelic.

'Tis the way of a true Warrier to demand nothing less than Honor, Respect and Loyalty...for without you are a mear shadow of what a warrior is...And Rau honey you do make yer dam quite proud......just by being the warrior within.. True warrior's are there when the others have fled and will stand by you in the face of unbeatable odds.........oh my, tis me Scotch ......upbring again....I'm sure ya all know about the mighty Highland Warrior but did ya know that in the early centuries they used to strip naked to attack their foe for this had a tendancy to scare off the enemy for they feared the scot was crazy, what with his nudity and crazed expression, not to say the size of their sword (mind out of gutter here...mean claymore) and easily they wield it.......ah.......naked and scaring folks..........I could do that now if I tried....Mo Chreach! (my goodness)

Slainte Mhath!!
(Good Health!!)

Dia duit,

new to the group, from what i've read very interesting post's. as for me it's been a passion from my earliest memories, began boxing at 9, then Shorin-Ryu karate, wrestled in high school, Brazillian Jiu-Jitsu. i blend the best of all those forms of combat and shape it to what works for me. but what is even more important than the physical techniques of combat, is the "fire" that burns in warriors, call it spirit, will or a form of magic it is what makes us tick. for me Cuchulian and the Red Branch are what a warrior culture should be, honor, loyalty and respect.
look forward to interaction with this group.

slan,

Michael
