Book of Ballymote

Sovereignty has always been present within the Land, but the marriage and relationship to it that exists through the king requires a true king and a marriage of that king to the land in order to be present for the people. When Sovereignty has a connection through the king to the People, then all of the characteristics of the Land as described in “The Settling of the Manor of Tara” are available to the People. Sovereignty is the fifth treasure that is provided by a proper use and relationship to the other four parts of the Land. That is why it is a characteristic of the center. What I will be attempting to do in the weeks ahead is identify and characterize the central concept that is established by the use of the four treasures during ritual.
