With a great success and reception from the International audience and fellow researchers, the First International Congress of Forbidden History took place last October 18-19 at the Sala Congressi of Casa Regina Montis Regalis and at the Bardo Duchy in Piedmont, Northern Italy. The event covered diverse fields of knowledge with notable presentations from experts such as Marco Bulloni (The Atlantis Labyrinth), Roberto Venturino (Non-Human Mummies of Nazca. Scientific Updates), H. Antoni Carvajal (Denied Cultures of Antediluvian America), Diego Antolini (The Serpent Race of Asia: The Nagas and Their Shapeshifting History), Peter Fiebag (PaleoSETI: The Final Leap to Mankind) and Rafael Videla Eissmann (The Antarctic Origins of Mankind). During the Congress a video tribute to world best-seller PaleoSETI writer Erich von Däniken was presented –based on the interview conducted by Diego Antolini and Rafael Videla Eissmann in 2024– as well as the exhibition of dazzling sculpture “The Eternal Return” by Italian artist Alessandro Scavia.

Odes to the Ancient Irish Gods



Gabriel Woods

In Honour of the Old Gods I yearn to discover the old gods of Ireland, Lugh and Brigid to name only two. The awesome powers who once ruled this green and abundant land. I walk along the canal and Boyne river bends, Yet my craving to know the ancient gods never ends. Whispers of the ancient gods I hear in the wind. Walking through their abodes of ringforts and old stone circles. Legends of their druids and physicians, The trickery and wisdom of the ancient magicians. I walk along the twisting river River Boyne bends, Yet my thirst for knowledge never ends. Will an ancient god ever appear to me? Only the modern world on the banks I can see. For now all I can do is read, write and learn, To see ancient gods and godesses like Brigid my heart yearns. Stories of the old gods in my mind abound, Words from the old gods I do not hear any whisper or sound. By Gabriel Woods


Wonders and Magic The Tuatha Dé Danann, were they gods or mortals? As I write and learn, I find their true nature most difficult to discern. For they have worked great wonders. Should I write about the Tuatha Dé in a studious manner? Or more poetically I often ponder. Should I add footnotes and list the many books I have read, Or write about their stories instead? If writing like an historian or archaeologist, My words may not flow so well. To write freely about their wonders, The best way to go forward only I can tell. Maybe the spirit of Brigid could inspire me with the words to write. The Dagda could show me the the right path. The gods and goddesses of my writing take sway, Help me to write in my own unique way.
