It remains to be noted that bones of corvids are frequently found in a special context during excavations, from which a hint at the possible special role of corvids in the #Celtic world can probably be derived. `

We Nua-Celts reject imperialism, violent conflict and asymmetrical relations between states and between legal and natural persons. All states that have benefited from colonialism should voluntarily offer reparations and take over the debts of former colonial states or the global south, until such time that there is total debt cancellation, which is desirable.

A small bronze pin was inserted through all three eyes and thus attached the bird head to the fibula foot, but at the same time allowed mobility of the head (Preinfalk/Preinfalk 2015, D5292–D5293). `

A special form of a bird head fibula comes from recent settlement excavations on the Dürrnberg near Hallein. In fibula Fn. 78, the bird head was attached to the foot end by means of a hinge. The foot had two eyes close together, and the end of the bird head opposite the beak also had an eye.

Wealth and luxury taxes as well as gift-, inheritance- and capital gains-taxes in the amount of 100% are possible means for reducing private assets to below a de minimis limit by consensus. In this way greed is no longer encouraged and privileged life opportunities are no longer donated or inherited. Source: The Nua-Celtic Manifesto

Ideally, everyone should have the same amount at his/her disposal, but not more than the regenerative resources of Mother Earth offer to mankind, without disadvantaging other species. Finally, through spirituality lived in many ways, the majority should have overcome the "want to have" by simply "being". Source: The Nua-Celtic Manifesto

The wild deer could be shot from the window, and the salmon taken out of the stream from the door of their dwelling. There they passed the spring and summer months, Usna’s sons of the white steeds and the brown deer-hounds, whose breasts were broader than the wooden leaves of the door.
