Culture tends to become diluted as it is pulled out of its past and woven
into a web of structure which we may set down and study; interpret and act upon. This was the inevitable transition in ancient Ireland that was
considered the civilized interpretation of a barbaric culture. In the past,
and that is not to say only the past, when a culture or religion and its
practices were not understood, they were deemed barbaric, and by nature, they demanded civilized interjection. Only the most open minded scholars and missionaries of the early centuries BC could have recognized the value inherent in the education attained by understand-ing how a mysterious culture denied or handled all life's complexities.
