At the time of the invasion of the Welsh , their chief , the Druid Amergin , performs the following ritual : putting the right foot on the ground to conquer he recites :
I am the Wind that blows over the waters of the Sea . I am the Wave that breaks against the Rock . I am the Thunder of the Sea . I am the Deer and the Bull with the Seven Horns . I am the Vulture in the Precipice . I am the Tear of the Sun . I am the Most Beautiful of Flowers . I am the Wild and Fearless Boar . I am the Salmon in the Lake . I am the Lake in the Plain . I am the Voice of Wisdom . I am the Spear that is wielded in Battle . I am the God who exhales Fire in the Head .
And the Druid Amergin , then asks the following seven questions : Who illuminates the Assembly on the mountain ? Who denounces the Days of the Moon ? Who points out the place where the Sun will sink ? Who brings the Bull from the House of Tethra , the God of the Sea , and isolates it ? Who is the Bull of Tethra smiling at ?

For I , the Druid , that ordered the letters of the Sacred Alphabet Ogham , I who give Peace to the combatants , I will approach the Fountain of the Goblins , in search of the docile man , so that together we can perform the most terrible spells . I am a Wind from the Sea .

Between the Celts the boar and the bear symbolized respectively , the power of the Druid and that of the Warrior . Some scholars , such as René Guenon , tried to equate these two symbols of Power with the castes of the Brahmins and the Kshatriyas of India , that is , of the Priests and warriors , considering the profound meaning that the boar and the bear have in the Indo-Aryan tradition . But this is an error , since the Druids never formed a caste ( nor were there any castes among the Celts ) and because the meaning given to the wild boar ( ancient Hyperborean symbol ) by them , was tinged with a materialism not remotely possessed in the Rig Veda , where it appears as the third of the ten manifestations of Vishnu in the current life cycle or Manvantara . It is as if the Druids had " reversed " the sense of the symbol giving the boar , expression of the Primordial Spiritual Power proper to the Royal Function , a
