The story of the Celtic Clan of Sixteen
In the time of the Clan peace was very uneasy as it is today rival tribes from the north and east made life a chilling and brutal existence. The collection of16 Proverbs was bestowed upon the Celts to strengthen their mind and body
causing them to rise and defend against the scourge. They became a fierce opponent as they dealt with the invaders of their sacred land. The Great One had willed the land to them. These names have been withheld until this day as they are now called upon to intercede against the forces of evil. The
Evil today is the bondage of the people of the entire world that threatens to crush their spiritual alliance and freedom of independent action. The Evil is in direct conflict with the teachings of the 16 Proverbs. 1 -Darmuth Custodian of Birth directs parents to provide, protect and nurture their children at all cost, and prevent their exposure to Evil works and Deeds. Teach the great commandments given to Moses by the one and only God. 2 -Qarrom Custodian of Discovery directs each of us in the human family to seek knowledge and encourage the development of the tools of wisdom. Above all to practice and foster the seeking of assistance from the Most High - complimenting ones own intuitive nature. 3 Bick Custodian of conscience provides the inner voice that allows each of us to review and reflect upon actions taken or those having been taken in the past. We are to close out the evil and vile thoughts that lead us upon a path of
conflict with the great commandments. 4 -Marsoon Preceptor of History demands that we keep the true and accurate details of history from the taint of revision. Only those ignorant of History are destined to repeat it. History is
our source of council in face of decisions that will affect our future. 5 -Tid The Preceptor of Masonry defines that we square our work as we square our lives. Always, in the performance of our craft, do so with care and
elegance. Your work with men defines you as man not as a beast. Scant measures applied to our work are a pattern for disaster and scant integrity in your relationships with men will pattern your failure. 6 -Tolivar The Preceptor
of Sovereignty demands that the assets given by the Most High be protected now and for all times. Squandering your best nature on fruitless thought or the relaxation of the security of your borders must be guarded at all times 7 -
Zo The Preceptor of your Homeland goes deep into your every daily action making you aware of the need to improve those close to you and refrain from breeding discontentment. The security of your homeland is each persons obligation to the other that benefits the Homeland as a whole.
8 -Pleh The Preceptor of Invention is our connection for the advancement of our society. Our needs are met and advanced by rooting our intuition to the Most High. Grace will be supplied and nurtured by avoiding the ever-present
distractions of Evil. 9 - Dimono The Preceptor of Enjoyment is with you at all times. Your life is supposed to be a joy and your every moment of time is to be full and uplifting. Guard against the negativity of the Evil and Vile
as they threaten you and the existence of all your people. 10 Forsse The Preceptor of Safety places before you the good judgment to avoid circumstance and conditions that would damage your body and soul. Be vigilant and use the
wisdom of the Preceptors to carry you through the uncharted waters of life. 11 - Cokon The Preceptor of Redemption provides you with a map of salvation. When you open yourself to the Everlasting force of the Great One, you will be
guided into the realm of ecstasy as you are garnered with a cloak of defiance against Evil. 12 - Nokok The Preceptor of Compassion will be with you always, as you become a light to all of your surroundings. The light is our
spiritual guide to eternity as it closes out the dark desires of Evil. Seek the light always as Evil can only see in the darkness of the human heart. 13 - Papillin the Preceptor of Nutrition commands that you are vigilant as to
what you partake both in body and spirit. You are to grow only those foods that build the body and avoid those that defile the body as the body once defiled will be most susceptible to the works of Evil. 14 - Isen the Preceptor
of Reincarnation promises that the Great One provides many resting places along the way both in the present and future life. All lessons learned and practiced in this life will be an advantage in the next life. 15 - Donner -
Preceptor of Health works with your body and your spirit to lessen the pain of life. Health is both a mental process as much as a physical condition. Practice the wisdom of the Preceptors and your physical and mental conditions will be enhanced.
16 - Blisock The Preceptor of Harmony was last to be commanded by the Great One it is to be the essence and fulfillment of the 16 wisdoms working together that creates the Harmony of our existence. Once we find the song of life, the harmony will follow. Look for your
song in the 16 Precepts and you will find your place in eternity. Copyright David Freemont McCready 2005 Back to Top
