Universal values of a celebrant in France
Source – spiritual ways - treasures from the past – many beliefs
"I want to share with you through these different ways the explaination of my universal approach, without any dogma, in “connection” "with Nature, the Cosmos, the riches of life. Here are my sources of inspiration for creating ceremonies ...Agathia"
Spirituality
The pursuit of happiness and the search for Meaning of Life: the consciousness of being at one with the All. I AM a being, not a person. I know where I come from, why I am here and where I am going. I tend to act with the heart and not the mind. I seek harmony between the body / the soul / the spirit.
Religion
the Latin "religio" which connects people on a spiritual level involving views about the divine, infinite, eternity.
Druidism
dru (power) wid (wisdom) the alliance of forces that tend to make the good even better and life more vibrant.
Druidry is a spiritual way. It is 2000 years old and still survives. It is free of dogma and a fixed set of beliefs or practices. In this way, it avoids many of the problems of intolerance and bigotry that established religions have encountered.
Nature is the central point of their veneration: they consider it sacred or divine. Every element of nature is felt as a part of the great chain of life, without supremacy bethween them. Unlike other religions who believe that humanity occupies a central role in God's plan, the druid design is systemic and holistic, and sees humanity as a part of the great family of living beings.
The three objectives of the Druids: they seek, above all, to develop in themselves the wisdom, creativity and love. A number of successive lives on earth, rather than one, give us the opportunity to fully develop these qualities in us.
The love of peace : they were and still are traditional conciliators, and still are. Druidic ceremonies often begin by offering peace to each cardinal direction
The Hereafter: for the Druids, the world we see is not the only one that exists. They believe in the existence of the “afterlife”, a place where we go when we die. We can visit these realms in dreams, in meditation, in hypnosis, or during shamanic trance. Celtic mythology, which inspires Druidism is filled with descriptions of the beyond.
Their message :
- 1 - everyone has the duty to continue his spiritual quest as he has the breath of life
- 2 - it is never too late to live enlightenment giving a profound comprehension of truth!
They perform rituals to calendar solstices and equinoxes for their spiritual advancement and heal the Earth, the customs of celebration of life for births, weddings and deaths.
The Essenes
means "waiting"
There have been several Essene communities but the most wellhnown was a small group of mystics in Mount Carmel (Israel) in the Holy Land 2000 years ago who accompanied Jesus (Yeshua) in his messianic mission. Among them were: Hannah, Anna, Anna Marie, Mary Magdalene, Joseph Artihmatie, Joachim, Mariam, Mathias ..
They practiced rituals to raise their senses, purify their minds and bodies. Their spiritual way led them in turn to Egypt, Britain and Ireland, India, Greece, the Himalaya mountains , Mont St Michel, among others ... in order to attend various initiations.
They maintained a strict ritual purity, they put their possessions in common, they worked hard, looking for neither pleasure nor wealth, used a solar calendar, they had great quality of soul, kindness and openness of mind, a respect for life without such, they were healers, instructors. .. Their bloodline still exists. It is said that "Only those who are lovers of truth and living close to their soul can approach them. '
CHARTER of the Essene Nation (Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 18.)
Everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion: this right includes freedom to change his religion or belief and freedom to manifest his religion or belief alone or in community with others and in public or private teaching, practice, worship and observance. '

- Deep knowledge of yourself
- Purification of Being
- Access to the laws of the Universe : their use to transform (alchemy) and became Mage

Temples built along the Nile until the Great Pyramids were places of initiation, and education (tombs in the Valley of the Kings): every step was a stage to self-realization. These teachings date from 3500 years before "Christ" and said that “Christ” himself followed them .
Buddhism
in Tibetan means "turned inward" All teachings have only one goal: to turn to the nature of mind, and to free us from the fear of death to help us live the truth of life. Becoming “Buddha” is finally becoming a real human being who has left the world of illusions.
