1	In the Great Age of the Swan (7630 BCE),
2	Within one thousand four hundred and thirty Great Cycles of CYB-EL,
3	The Bright One (6200 BCE),
4	The land of our ancestors did awaken,
5	Upon the arrival of the god DAGA (DAGNU),
6	The good god, of earth and fertility,
7	DAGA did defeat ADA(D),
8	The god of storms and rain,
9	Releasing MU (Earth) from the darkness.
10	First again came the flowers and young bushes,
11	Then with pine, elm and tree,
12	The land did raise up forests,
13	The animals returned in numbers,
14	Wild boar and red squirrels,
15	Wolves and foxes,
16	Red deer and eagles,
17	But the giant stag was never again seen.

2

1	The descendants of ADAM (A-DA-MU),
2	Made good their land,
3	With mud, they did make walls,
4	Wood and reeds their cover (roof).
5	The Gods of MOT and the underworld,
6	Banished from the Isle.
7	With the wisdom of the gods messenger,
8	By the sacred holly,
9	They did make a rule.
10	Never again shall man eat flesh of man.
11	To learn the wisdom of the gods.
12	Respect the ancient gods.
13	To never usurp the gods.

3

1	By the bones of ADAM laid,
2	Near the sacred curve of the serpent stream,
3	Known by the name Boyn.
4	A most sacred place called GNO,
5	Meaning divine wisdom.
6	A city of stone, his everlasting rest.
7	The elders of the tribe of AD-A-MU,
8	Did observe and respect the ancient gods.
9	Thus they did name them as spoken,
10	They did write symbols and meaning,
11	They did learn to count,
12	To understand the pattern,
13	And nature of the Gods,
14	By the first wheel of YAH (EL),
15	By the second wheel of AUN(ON),
16	By the third wheel of IOR (ANU).

4

1	The bravest of the tribe,
2	Did return by boats of red sails,
3	To the land of Galicia,
4	And return.
5	(So ) That by blood,
6	By bond And custom,
7	They became as if one land,
8	But Not near the Isle of the shadows,
9	Did they sail.
10	The beasts of MOT,
11	Exiled to this place.
12	A place of darkness,
13	And barbarity.
14	Many cycles till,
15	The prophecy of A-DA-MU fulfilled,
16	On the plain of SARU(M).

5

1	Upon the eight Great Cycle of CYBELE,
2	The tribal elders,
3	Keepers of the wisdom of the gods,
4	Did call a council.
5	For the seed of A-DA-MU,
6	No longer produced a male heir,
7	But three girl child.
8	HA-M(U), the old king,
9	Did witness the miracle birth.
10	Before his death,
11	Blessing the sacred trinity as his heirs.
12	All three to reign,
13	As one.
14	Each named BRID.
15	Too young to rule,
16	SHEM(U) their kin,
17	Did rule as protector and steward.

6

1	A crafty nature was SHEM(U),
2	For upon the twelfth of age,
3	The little BRIGHID, he did challenge them,
4	To resolve a dispute,
5	In ancient ways.
6	Knowing the three girls had not hunted,
7	Nor spear, nor seen blood.
8	The three little girls were set out,
9	To seize a boar or deer.
10	For without blooding of the ancient ways,
11	None could claim Kingship.
12	Crafty SHEM(U) and a band,
13	Did lie in wait,
14	By a thicket,
15	As the girls did approach.
16	But the old and young gods,
17	Did favour the BRIGHID.
18	ADA(D) hid YAH from view.
19	In the darkness,
20	SHEM(U) did stumble.
21	Whereupon DAGA did sent a heard of wild deer,
22	Through the thicket,
23	Trampling SHEM(U) and his band.
24	One deer, its neck broken,
25	At the feet of the three.
26	Triumphant, the BRID return,
27	As Queens.

7

1	At twenty, such fearsome warriors the three Queen,
2	No man of E-RE (MU),
3	Worthy as companions.
4	The Queens resolved that one should stay,
5	And two should travel,
6	with the blessing of LIR,
7	To find husbands worthy.
8	For their journey,
9	The elders and protectors of the Cuilleain,
10	Did fashion each Queen,
11	With a sword of gold and bronze,
12	And a troop of the finest warriors,
13	With bronze tipped spears,
14	That no beast,
15	Nor man may harm even a hair,
16	Of the warrior Queens.

8

1	First, they travelled to the land of Galicia,
2	And to the King.
3	But not one man was found worthy,
4	Of the hand Of a sacred Queen.
5	Overland they travelled,
6	Unto the shores of the great eastern sea.
7	There they set (out) onwards,
8	In smaller boats,
9	Eastward they sailed,
10	To lands not yet seen.
11	The first men they encountered,
12	From the land of yellow hills.
13	Too frightened to come to the shore,
14	Where the Brids did rest,
15	The Queens did travel past the coast,
16	Of the blackened land of Latin tribes.
17	A land of fire in those days,
18	To the Isle of the Sicani.
19	But these men did not yield,
20	And the Queens cleaved,
21	Many a warrior,
22	Till they made their escape,
23	To the safety of boats.

9

1	But LIR grew restless.
2	He did conspire with ADA(D),
3	To each take a Queen,
4	To be their consort.
5	LIR threw the Queens up.
6	Upon great waves,
7	While ADA(D) did bring upon them,
8	Great darkened clouds and rain.
9	The Queens did pray for delivery,
10	To the ancient Gods.
11	And CY-BELE did hear their call.
12	Upon the rocks of an Isle,
13	They did come to rest.
14	The Queens did name this place,
15	CYBE-MU, land of the goddess, the Bright One.
16	And a solemn oath.
17	To bring a band Of the finest,
18	To honor the goddess.
19	And so it was such honor was true,
20	For many a year.
21	Even when the Goddess became known,
22	As Aphrodite.

10

1	The two Brids,
2	Did each make an oath.
3	One to travel to the North,
4	The other to the South,
5	And to make this Isle a new home,
6	For the tribe of A-DA-MU.
7	The first Brid, known as Mem,
8	Did travel south,
9	To the land of the great River,
10	And the tribe known as Badari.
11	These peaceful and noble people,
12	Were in awe of Mem,
13	With her sword of gold and bronze,
14	And her honey words,
15	The Chief of the Tribe,
16	Did claim her a Goddess,
17	And implored her to stay.
18	There, with her warrior guard,
19	Mem, did teach the Badari,
20	Using the shapes,
21	And signs of the Ancients.
22	The keepers of the Cuilleain,
23	The ways of the tribe,
24	The wise laws of the gods,
25	And the names and operation,
26	Of the gods themselves.
27	The Badari in turn did show Mem,
28	The flooding of fields,
29	The planting of crops,
30	The use of the cow,
31	But no husband worthy found.

11

1	The second Brid, known as Mam(a),
2	Did travel North,
3	Towards the mountains of the Bull,
4	To the plain of Konya,
5	And the village of Katal.
6	There the Queen did use,
7	Her signing ways,
8	Her singing voice,
9	The wisdom of the gods.
10	And the might of her gold and bronze sword.
11	The people of Katal,
12	In turn did show Mama.
13	The making of garments,
14	From the hair of animals,
15	And the skilled use of fire and clay.
16	But the people of Katal,
17	Did make Mam(a) their goddess.
18	Refusing her passage,
19	She did escape.
20	With the help of the ancient gods.
21	When YAH did hide AUN,
22	And the people fled.

12

1	The Queen Mem,
2	Did travel south with the Badari,
3	And her warrior guard,
4	Along the Great Serpent River,
5	To the land of the Pwen (Punt),
6	There the Queen again showed,
7	The wisdom of the Gods,
8	The magic of sign.
9	And the dark skinned Pwen,
10	Did show her,
11	The wonder of spices,
12	Soft tender fruits,
13	The nature of weaved cloth.
14	And the Pwen did make her their goddess,
15	But amongst the Pwen,
16	No husband was found.

13

1	Queen Mam(a),
2	Did travel East,
3	Along the mighty river,
4	To the land of the Assur,
5	And the Ubaid.
6	The site of this Queen,
7	With her golden sword,
8	Her warrior guard,
9	And caravan of many miles,
10	Did amaze the villagers.
11	Before she had even arrived,
12	They called Mam(a) a Goddess,
13	I-MAMA (Inaana) they called her.

14

1	Queen Mem,
2	Did leave the tribe of Pwen,
3	And travelled north–east,
4	To the great village of the Ubaid,
5	At the mouth of the great rivers.
6	There she did unite with her sister.
7	Two Queens,
8	Two great warriors,
9	And countless worshippers,
10	The village was named in honor,
11	Of their sacred homeland.
12	E-RI (E-RE),
13	And in a later age to E-RI-DU.
14	There the Queens did teach their signs,
15	The wisdom of the gods,
16	The wonder of their travels,
17	And all the world did come to know of E-RI.

15

1	Yet for all their journey,
2	And all the tribes,
3	No husbands worthy,
4	Had been found.
5	The Queens did return to the inner sea,
6	Where the Badari,
7	Did make them a great boat of lashed reeds,
8	So LIR could not sink it.

16

1	Upon the return,
2	Both Mem and Mam(a) Had a vision.
3	Their captains by their side,
4	CAL-MU the brave,
5	Who had stood by the side of Mem,
6	Since departing MU.
7	UAS-EL, the worthy,
8	Who had protected Mam(a),
9	All the while.
10	Upon awakening,
11	The Queens did call to their captains.
12	For worthy men,
13	For worthy husbands,
14	No greater (had) been.
15	Brave, loyal men and true.
16	All the while,
17	From E-RE herself.

17

1	Return home,
2	Triumph behold.
3	The wonders of the world,
4	Brought to sacred lands.
5	The cow, the weave,
6	The wisdom of clay and fire,
7	All manner of wisdom.
