Chapter 7  
     
1.
 Travel then the ancient highways,  
2.
 the sacred paths of your ancestors.  
3.
 Reflect then back to the five great roads that radiated from Tara.  
4.
 The first, the key was Slighe Cualann.  
5.
 For it connected Tara through the lands of the Cualann  
6.
 to the first city of Ireland, Ath Cliath Cualann.  
7.
 A name meaning the sacred (holly) hurdled ford (of the river Lilley).  
8.
 A place where the Cualann did build the first city of Ireland.  
9.
 A place like all places of the Cualann,  
10.
 the Cuileann that has been raped of its heritage and past.  
11.
 No longer a place founded by Irishmen,  
12.
 but a fort city of the Vikings.  
13.
 No longer a sacred place of ancient sages and leaders,  
14.
 but a patch of dirt bloodied by violence and ignorance.  
15.
 No longer a city named first as Eblana “new Ebla” by King Ibbi four thousand years ago,  
16.
 But a city whose name comes merely from a cursed name as a "black pool" and poor grammar.  
17.
 For what English scholar would permit the Irish such civilization?  
18.
 What Christian scholar would allow the truth of the soul of Ireland to re-awaken?  
19.
 Has not thousands of years been dedicated to confounding,  
20.
 To deceiving, to building of fabulous fables,  
21.
 Of hiding in plain sight, what is?  
22.
 Centuries of lies depend upon it.  
23.
 So never again spoken its ancient name Ath Cliath Cualann  
24.
 And never raised its connection to the Cualann, the Cuileann, the Holly,  
25.
 To the ancient sages and priests condemned to mythology.  
26.
 No longer Ath Cliath Cualann  
27.
 Some only Ath Cliath  
28.
 Most know it as Dublin.  
29.
 Nor is the most ancient and sacred road of the Holly family remembered.  
30.
 It has become the path of the Wicklow Hills,  
31.
 A footnote in a fairytale.  
32.
 Of faeries and goblins and other mythical creatures  
33.
 That now keep the company of the cursed ancestors of the Cuileain  
34.
 Who history has erased and dressed as children dress their dolls.
