Eleanor Merry in her book The Flaming Door: The Mission Of The Celtic Folk-Soul (1983) gives insight into ancient Egypt. Merry tells us, “The new initiate was led out of the chamber of death to behold the rising Sun, so the initiate of Hibernia was spiritually led out at last by his Initiators to behold the vision of Christ. In that moment he knew that the warmth and strength of Love could flow into his heart, and that from this strength came the recognition of the harmonious unity of the ‘Science’ and the ‘Art’ of Life. He knew what the statues concealed; he knew the answer to all his questions.”

Eleanor Merry continues, “The secret underlying all the ancient Mysteries in some form or other, but especially and clearly in the Hibernian Mysteries and in the essential characteristics of Hu and Ceridwen, was this passing out and in of the soul and spirit of the human being, not only in sleeping and waking, but also in the greater rhythm of dying and being born. It was the secret of Incarnation and Resurrection. And for this reason, the greatest Incarnation the world has ever known that of Christ Himself, the Sun-Logos, which, though clearly foreseen, was still wrapped in the obscurity of the future, and was not an incredible or incomprehensible event in the wisdom of Hibernia and its offshoots.”
