Archetypes and Facets of Self

[Tara]

Many of you know that I wrote the Elven World 20 years ago after a near death experience. I was while in heavenly realms, so to speak, asked to write books that carry on the lineage. Celtic and specifically Irish and Welsh culture was not written down and I was tasked with carrying on the spirit and wisdom of the ancestors.

Anyway I wrote Elven World beginning almost the moment I go home from the hospital. I never really understood why and over the years I have learned more about the book that I wrote, just trying to understand it all myself. It has been a great adventure. 

Anyway, I have always wondered who are these Tuatha de Danann gods and goddesses? Are they real? Are they otherworldly? Are they archetypes? Just exactly why does the God Lugh express himself in my story? 

So just today I came to a new realization which I will be exploring and I thought we might explore together in this discussion if you like. Here is what I am exploring: 

1. What archetypes (may) correspond to these beautiful "gods and goddesses" or radiant beings in ElvenWorld? 

2. How do these relate to my life and my growth? By "my" I mean in this case any individual person ?

If you have any thoughts on this, please share and I will try to share too, as I move into creating poetry and art for each one of the Tuatha de Danann again - 2026 - 

Love, 

Tara

I'm not sure exactly what your wanting us in here to add into this discussion, it really dosnt make much sense to me, could that be because I havnt read your books at all to know what God Lugh expresses himself for in your story? But I cant seem to follow your questions either is that because it relates to the info in your book ElvenWorld too?.

would love to know the realisation you've been exploring Tara

Oh yes, well thank you for asking, I’m loving your poetry

yes I’m exploring the archetypal essence of the different identities of the tuatha de danann. I am now calling them radiant beings of light rather than gods or goddesses because those are too charged terminology. It’s very interesting. How words are very important to reinstate the culture so to speak. So these radiant beings of light represent different faces of ourselves really I’ll post some of the pages from my book, and then you can let me know like if the poetry exudes the essence that aspect of our ourselves. For example there is the archetype of the warrior princess, fierce, stubborn, and full of deep love and protection. I’ll post that one tomorrow…

Thanks Tara

looking forward to your first post, it's a subject I'm especially interested in

This is a page from the upcoming ebook describing each of the archetypes of the Tuatha de Danann as they appear in ElvenWorld. Obviously, everyone may see them differently but this should get the ball rolling.

I don't suppose you'd reconsider illustrating it with AI generated images...

More about this;  I am just a writer.  ElvenWorld is a treatment or story outline for video game and/or films. I work as part of a team. I have just me and you on the team.  But this book is used mainly for teaching English these days.  Young men and women ages 12-15 or so especially the creative ones, and lightworker type ones needing respite, adore this book.  It’s great for teaching people how to read a book.  That is how I use it.  The thing is the characters are the names in the ancient Gaelic. The real Tuatha de Danann.  This is what makes it spiritual.  It’s an authentic bardic myth for teaching kids. Just that.  It’s a comforting read that will exercise the brain gently. 
So I probably need to rewrite the e-book, but the reason for having the e-book is so that people can learn the Tuatha de Danann characters. If they have a visual concept of each of these characters that goes with the name, it’s easier to really understand that name. This is not necessary for the story, but it makes it much better possibly. I originally thought that people here at ElvenWorld would love to illustrate these characters. Our sweet Morell illustrated them by sketch hand in the last edition (which is online) and frankly with Amazon I can easily make editions for all the different artists who contribute to them. It’s such a beautiful concept. to have a book with the illustrations on each edition being different. I can make as many editions as I want to show off the styles of various artists.
But I’m having trouble reaching people to explain all of this because it’s so detailed and you know I’m teaching. So presently I just use it as a book for teaching my students how to read, and frankly, it works perfectly for that. we read it out loud during class. I teach them what all the words mean and boom ! by you know the end of the book they’re competently reading. It’s a beautiful thing. 

anyway I have only done two pages of the e-books so far and I see from my posting here that this is like probably the writing, especially the poem may need to be simplified. Or maybe not. Maybe it’s not right for me to talk down just because the ages are young. I have not done that so far and I think it’s it’s more of a tool to pass along to some generations who do actually read books or want to use it in this way or something like that. 
most everyone who reads it who is an adult says it should be a video game. Which is a beautiful thing because my husband who taught Krishnamurti how to play video games and all of my students play video games and you know the only reason why I don’t play is because I’m so busy writing. It’s not like I’m against it or anything. But the other thing is that they would be really good stories to put with a little bit of images on YouTube. They would be so popular. I know this because I watch stories on YouTube all the time, and I really enjoy them tremendously and also because my voice I can easily record them in my own voice, which is usually popular. But I just don’t have any team to work with and so right now I’m a little bit isolated on this project. So that’s what I was hoping that this place ElvenWorld would bring Artist and poets and musicians here so that we could create projects together. you know kind of like a deviant art for creating massive theatrical projects for fun online lol but I don’t know I’ve met so many incredible artists. You can see some of the work that has been done to create art with ElvenWorld. The best one is the the tarot the story of the tarot which is sent to music and is on my YouTube channel. Right now I’m in the progress of trying to make things a little bit more accessible for people on that channel and with the books. I don’t know if you guys know, but one of the issues with my books is that it’s they have only been available on Amazon. And this is because I have not been able to finance them to be on other platforms that are more international.

This is why they are mostly only sold in Japan because Amazon has a listing in Japan, I guess and it seems like probably a fun way for them to learn to speak English too. there is practically nothing that would make me happier than to illustrate these books in different styles. For example, this imagery is renaissance neo renaissance style Celtic. It would also lend itself to manga style. 
well that gives you an update. Anyone here that is unable to read the books because you can’t get them through Amazon as a member contributing. I can just email that the PDF to you for you know your contribution to the site.

love, Tara
