Closed Culture Pantheons

I think the oath is contained in this passage, though I'm not completely sure exactly which part. I don't know what thread I got it from either, it was just in my bookmarks under "oath to the Gael". sweatdrop

The only thing I saw that might be relevant was verses 27 to 31 in which the Tuatha De gave to the children of Mil the refuge of the Fair. The hosts of Banba then pledged to the children of Mil:

Quote:

Heaven, earth, sun, moon, and sea,
110] fruits of earth and sea-stuff,
mouths, ears, eyes, possessions,
feet, hands, warriors' tongues,
# Horses, swords, chariots fair,
spears, shields, and faces of men,
115] dew, mast, sheen on leaf,
day and night, ebb and flow

which does not look like an exclusion of non-Gael from worshiping the Tuatha De. I don't claim to be an expert in this language or history, though, so maybe I missed something. This is why I ask for a specific quote and explanation because even if I did come across the answer I probably wouldn't know what it was until it was explained to me. Thank you for posting this though.

I don't know where the idea that the hospitality given from the Tuatha Dé to the Nobility of the Milesians is support for the closed nature of the pantheon of Ireland comes from, but it's patently absurd.

I use the game of fidchell, the nature of Sovereignty as understood by the Gael and the naming of the land.
