Esus. by Maynman: 5:03pm On Aug 03, 2023
There is no J in Greek. Greek has no symbol that represents J nor does it have a sound that is equivalent to our J sound. The letter J was added on to the Latin alphabet in the Middle Ages to distinguish it from the consonant I.


“Many Celtic practices have been forgotten or diluted by Christianity and other evolving practices over the centuries, including the legend of Esus. Today, Esus appears in two places: on the Pillar of the Boatman and on another pillar in Trier, Ger-many. In both instances, Esus is shown cutting branches from a tree. The Celtic deity Esus (aspirated Hesus) is the god of Vegetation.
To honor him, human sacrifices were made by lashing people to trees and flogging them to death.
Esus is also associated with the sacred bull and depicted surrounded by cranes or egrets.
It has been suggested that the tree Esus is cutting is the Tree of Life and the cranes represent the flight of the soul - either human or, perhaps, the tree's.
In this way, Esus brings about death and destruction in winter to make way for rebirth in spring.

Lucan's Bel-lum civile from 61-65 AD:
"And those who pacify with blood accursed Savage Teutates, Hesus' horridshrines, And Taranis' altars cruel as were those loved by Di-ana, goddess of the north"
on Lucan, human victims were sacrificed to Esus by being tied to a tree and flailed.

Gold stater of the Dobunni tribe, discovered at Minster Lovell (Oxfordshire) England. The reverse bears the inscription ElSV, said to be derived from the Celtic divine name ESUS (Lord/Master), above a centaur and solar wheel, the latter associated with the Celtic Thunder God TARANIS.

(Usually interpreted as Lord, in fact the name of the deity is probably derived from the PIE *wesuexcellent = THE EXCELLENT ONE, in Gaulish PN's such as Vesu-avus, Bellovesus, Esu-nertus, Esu-genus.”

ESUS the Carpenter God

“The Druidic inhabitants of “Glastonbury Lake Village” were highly skilled woodworkers and carpenters; hence, their god was a woodworker and carpenter named Yesu/Esus/Hesus, long prior the Christian era. When one understands the brotherhood and its priestcraft, it is not surprising that Jews who purportedly lived in the very heart of Druidism–the fabled Avalon itself–and who would know about the future Druid savior and other doctrines, would return from Palestine with tales that “the” Messiah by that very name had been born in Judea.”

ESUS – A TRINITY GOD

The Roman poet Lucan described ‘Esus” in a poem, the Pharsalia, dating from the 1st c. AD, the last great battle in the civil war between Pompey and Caesar.
In it, he alludes to the journey of Caesar’s troops through southern Gaul and their encounter with
three Gaulish gods: Taranis, Teutates and ‘Esus’
(Pharsalia I, 444-6).
Lucan describes this triad (trinity) as cruel, savage and demanding of human sacrifice: ‘horrid ‘Esus’ with his wild altars’.

Esus was part of a trinity, along with two other gods: Taranis (“Thunderer”), Teutates (“God of the People”), and Esus, meaning 'Master' or 'Lord.'
