Gallen Priory Runestone 864 - Barony of Garrycastle, County of Offally, Ireland (500 CE)
Background
(April 2, 2026) Macalister reports that this stone was found during an excavation conducted in 1934-5, under Mr. T. D. Kendrick.
Gallen Abbey was established in AD 492 by Saint Canoc, a son of Saint Brecan. Saint Canoc settled near modern-day Ferbane in 492, which at the time was in the territory of Delbhna Eathra. The Abbey was damaged in the 820s when Tnúthgal mac Donngaile, the king of Munster, invaded Delbna Eathra, the area in which the abbey was located. The monastery was later restored by Welsh monks, who turned it into a very successful school. In 949, Cellachán Caisil, another king of Munster, invaded Delbna Eathra and nearly demolished the abbey. A stone church on the abbey grounds was destroyed in the attack, and today the oldest building at the site of the former abbey dates to the 11th century. Gallen Priory has a number of grave slabs dating from the 8th to the 11th centuries. Many of the slabs have interlacing, wheel (or sun) crosses and plain incised crosses.
Its dimensions are: 2' 5" x 1' 8" x 0' 3"

Kells Runestone 587 - Barony of Upper Kells, County Meath, Ireland
Background
(April 22, 2026) Macalister reports that this stone is the base of the sculptured cross which stands beside the Round Tower of the Kilree church belonging to the Kells priory. He further says, "It has suffered severely from the boots of local schoolboys, with whom it is a favourite exercise to swarm up the cross, and also to climb up to the Round Tower doorway—the masonry shows very clear evidence of their operations, and it is to be regretted that those in, authority over them do not direct their athletic impulses into other and less mischievous channels."
Kells Priory is one of the largest in Ireland. The Augustine priory is situated alongside King's River beside the village of Kells in the townland of Rathduff (Madden), about 15 km south of the medieval city of Kilkenny. 4 km southeast of the priory on the R697 regional road is Kilree round tower and 9th century High Cross. Kells Priory was founded by Geoffrey FitzRobert most probably in 1193.
The priory was the location of Ireland's first witch trial in 1324. In that year the Bishop of Ossory, Richard de Ledrede, paid a Lenten visit to the priory. Following an inquisition into a Kilkenny sect of heretics, Alice Kyteler and William Outlawe were ordered to appear before the Bishop to answer charges of witchcraft. Outlawe was supported by Arnold de Poer, Lord of Kells who arrested the Bishop and had him imprisoned in Kilkenny Castle for 17 days. This caused great scandal and on his release, the Bishop successfully prosecuted the heretics. Alice Kyteler fled to England and remained there, Alice Smith also fled, but her maidservant Petronilla de Meath became Ireland's first heretic to be burned at the stake.

The stone as it appears in Macalister (1949). The equilateral cross represents astrology-magic (witchcraft) because it is the shape of the letter "T" which means "astrology-magic" in Druid Akkadian. Within it are the channels of the divine irrigation network which transport life powers to earth which trigger life manifestations. Notice the many Druid spirals representing clusters of spiritual powers. The extension of the astrology-magic cross illustrates the flow of life powers to earth under the control of fate.

Something is attacking the life powers (fertility fluids) which trigger the manifestations of life. Usually this would be a drought but the word "attack" is not used in those situations. More likely this text is referring to the plague of Justinian (541–549 CE).
This stone's shape looks more like a sword than any sort of cross. Indeed, the text talks about some sort of attacks.
In addition we seem to have 3 Druid symbols starting with the Druid astrology magic cross on the left side of the sword handle. The meanings of the other 2 are not known with any certainty but probably represent (left to right) the divine irrigation network and the manifestations of life on earth.

Nourishments (life powers) can disable the shedding of fate-revelations.
Involving fate-revelations with astrology-magic can block the griffons.
Considerations of fertility-fluids can affect the Moon-eye (Su).
Prodding will reduce Thu's disablements of fate-revelations.
Comment: This text is promoting the use of life power magic and astrology-magic (witchcraft) to overcome droughts caused by fate commanding the griffons to cut the threads/channels of the divine irrigation network. The divine-irrigation-network distributes life powers to earth from the divine realm. Considerations are the focused emotions of emotion magic which can prod and push the fertility-fluids through the channels. Su is the dark new moon god of fate shifting who powers astrology-magic. The last line of this text is saying that emotion magic can compensate for the lack of pushing from the genderless deity Thu.
The circle is an early Druid astrology-magic (witchcraft) sign representing the power to shift fate. It comes from the Druid Akkadian letter "T" put within a circle representing the new moon.

Nourishing the reassignments can manifest the fate-owls revealing Thu.

Fertility-fluids can control astrology-magic (witchcraft) considerations
Comment: This text is providing examples of how supporting various life powers can inhibit fate. Line 1 is about supporting the divine irrigation network. Line 2 is about preventing griffons from excessive cutting of the channels in the divine irrigation network. Line 3 is how promoting the flow of fertility-fluids (life powers) through the divine irrigation network can control the focused emotions (consideration) used in witchcraft.
The cross is a large archaic style Druid Akkadian letter "T" meaning "astrology magic." The texts makes it clear that it is not a Christian cross.

Disabling the life-threads will drive the traditional fertility-fluid's control.
That fate-plan considers the divine-emotion-power's of the shepherd-priests
Don't reveal the Moon-eye (Su)
Fate-shifting will be content with affecting its channel
Comment: This text is against revealing the fate-shifting powers of the Moon-Eye (Su) directly. Its image is the sword which represents coercion.
The traditional control of the fertility-fluid flow through the divine irrigation network which distributes life powers to earth is done by the motion powers deriving from both sources, emotions (Thu) and the heavenly bodies (Su and Selene). Su is the dark new moon god who powers the fate shifting of astrology magic which is wielded by the shepherd priests.

Comment: This text promotes revealing the fate-shifting powers of the Moon-Eye (Su) directly. Its image is a vine. While grapevines are not native, the vine became a symbol of prophecy, transformation, and joy due to the intoxication effects of wine.

Warn Su about the drivers (emotion powers).
The sky-shell-powers (life powers) can break-through with nourishments.
Involve fate-revelations with Su's energy.
Thu's emotion-powers can be restricted.
Warn the Moon-eye (Su) about the manifestations (of Thu).
Allocate Su's moon-eye-powers.
(to uncertain to read)
Similar to astrological-fate-powers are the shepherd-priests of Thu
The astrology-magic of Su can manifest Thu
Su the Moon-eye
Comment: This is a list of teachings which are generally supportive of the fate shifting done by astrology magic which is powered by the dark new moon god Su.
Section 4 - Side Text
Divine-emotion-powers of Thu will be involved with the irrigation-network's (life network) restrictions. Omens can emotionally-trigger the boundary-powers. Astrology-magic can allocate the divine-birds (griffons). The divine-irrigation-network's Su can confuse the redirecting.
The divine-irrigation-network's Su's omens about the stuffing can be confusing. Fertility-fluids are not being monitored. Su's astrology-magic will redirect.
Comment: The irrigation network here is the network which directs and distributes fertility-fluids (life powers) to earth which commands the manifestations of life. The motion powers from emotions and the heavenly body are responsible for the flow of those fertility-fluids. Astrology-magic, which redirects fate (omens), works by affecting the griffons which edit the connections of the network too change the paths of the fertility-fluids.

The right humanoid is the dark new moon god Su according to the text. His "bow tie" is a pair of eyes representing his other correspondence as the dark eye pupil god. With these correspondences Su becomes the source of all motion powers, those deriving from emotions and those deriving from the moving heavenly bodies.

Comment: Filling out the divine irrigation network with lots of channels which distribute life powers to earth is fluffing. Fate is fixed/set when a heavenly body disappears below the horizon. Dawn and dusk were the time when rituals were done which mixed life powers with the motion/emotion powers. Dawn was when the night powers of fate became fixed so this was the time when rituals were done to shift fate with astrology magic.
