How did so much of the text get lost? Well, according to the Introduction, the Kolbrin manuscripts were salvaged from Glastonbury Abbey at the time of the great 1184 fire which destroyed virtually all the buildings and many of its treasures. Although there is a certain chronological rationale to the order of the books, logically I reckon that the Book of Manuscripts ought to appear before the Book of the Sons of Fire rather than after its present position is rather confusing. If you were to sit down and read the Kolbrin from start to finish, chances are you’d be utterly baffled, because what now exists is only a patchwork remnant of the original. The historical accuracy of their introduction has been questioned. They reckon that the Celtic books were written between 20 and 500 AD. They think it might have been written in Egyptian hieratic script after the Exodus of the Jews, then translated into Phoenician script and taken to Britain (among other ports of call) on trading ships from there it would have been rendered into Old Celtic/Brythonic, then Old English, then Biblical English and on into modern English. Instead, the US publishers have tried to reconstruct the history of the Kolbrin text. These paperbacks have numbered paragraphs for easy reference, but do not include the all-important preliminary and end material. Celtic Texts of the Coelbook: the last five books.Egyptian Texts of the Bronzebook: the first six books.The Kolbrin Bible: 21 st Century Master Edition (complete edition).Yowbooks’ versions are available online in laminated hardback and paperback and include: In 2005 the Kolbrin was pirated and published in paperback as a ‘bible’ by Your Own World Books in Nevada, USA. E-books of the New Zealand Kolbrin and Kailedy are also available from the Culdian Trust website. The advantage of this New Zealand version is that it carries the all-important Dedication, Foreword, Introduction, Salutation and end-matter (which can also be read on the website) the downside is that the paragraphs are not numbered, which makes cross-referencing difficult. The Trust publishes a number of channelled texts, but insists that both the Kolbrin and the Kailedy come from another source altogether: they were brought over to New Zealand from the UK as typescripts and set out with an introductory history by an elderly merchant seaman who attended gorsedds (councils of Welsh or other Celtic bards and Druids), belonged to a hermetic organisation, and died in the 1990s.Ī hardback cloth version of the Kolbrin is available online direct from Goodeys Bookshop in Auckland and via a web link on the Culdian Trust’s website. People also say the Kolbrin and its accompanying book the Kailedy (an ancient British term meaning ‘wise strangers’) are channelled. And yes, I’ve visited the village of Coelbren looking for clues to the Kolbrin, but so far without success. Some have suggested that Iolo Morganwg himself forged the Kolbrin, but my research says no. It’s probably a garbled version of the Welsh word Coelbren, meaning either the name of a village south-west of the Brecon Beacons National Park, or C oelbren y Beirdd, a supposed ‘druidic’ alphabet allegedly invented by the writer Iolo Morganwg (1747-1826) whose validity has been questioned by scholars. No-one knows what the word ‘Kolbrin’ means. Read the Kolbrin’s underlying story later on in this article and see if you agree. I think they deserve an airing and that their core value should be taken seriously. ‘Here be dragons,’ it proclaims, roundly dismissing the book as so much phooey.īefore I wade into what is known about these mysterious books, let me state here and now that I consider much of what is written in them to be jaw-dropping, mind-boggling and, for me, life-changing stuff. Try Googling ‘ Kolbrin’, and you’ll find yourself face to face with a RationalWiki website standing guard at the top of the page like Cerberus. Over the centuries, everything has conspired to bury the books of the Kolbrin, and still does. The Kolbrin is a collection of eleven books, six Egyptian and five Celtic, first published in New Zealand in 1994 by the Hope Trust (now dissolved) and the Culdian Trust, a metaphysical organisation based loosely on the original ‘Culdees’ or Celtic followers of Christianity brought to south-west Britain by Joseph of Arimathea in the 1 st century AD. It has been languishing quietly in print for just a couple of decades. If you’ve even heard of the Kolbrin, you’re in a minority.
