Personal Development. Druids in Ancient America? By Debra L.
Lewis Ogham-Like Rock Etchings Found in Colorado When I learned history, Columbus discovered America. Later, my daughters learned that the Vikings arrived on these shores 500 years prior to Columbus. A few years ago, I heard that ancient Celts possibly wandered America's heartland and left Ogham marks on a cave in Colorado. On the Comanche National Grasslands at the very south-eastern corner of Colorado exists Crack Cave, formed when a large boulder broke away from the bluff.
Some say Druids from the Old World marked their travel here by use of the ancient Celtic tree language, Ogham. The Druids-in-America hypothesis purports that people from the Old World explored the Arkansas River long before either Columbus or Ericson. In History on the Rocks, which aired on Colorado PBS in 1985, Fell explains Ogham: It was used mainly by Celts, but also other people.
What exactly is Ogham or Ogam? Neo-druids know more about Ogham than most today. ReferencesBarnes, F.A.

A hundred times every day I remind myself that my inner and outer life are based on the labors of other men, living and dead, and that I must exert myself in order to give in the same measure as I have received and am still receiving...
"I have never looked upon ease and happiness as ends in themselves -- this critical basis I call the ideal of a pigsty. The ideals that have lighted my way, and time after time have given me new courage to face life cheerfully, have been Kindness, Beauty, and Truth. "My political ideal is democracy. Tapping our powers of persuasion. Most psychologists will read this “Questionnaire” with Robert Cialdini, PhD.
That may or may not be true, but according to Cialdini, that statement is powerfully persuasive because we tend to go along with our peers. Cialdini, who retired last year from a teaching and research position at Arizona State University in Tempe, Ariz., is a renowned expert in the science of swaying. In his seminal book on the topic, “Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion” (Quill, 1984), he went undercover to learn the tricks mastered by used-car dealers and Fortune 500 executives alike, bringing persuasion research to psychology’s forefront. Cialdini distilled his findings into six “weapons of influence,” each grounded in how we perceive ourselves or others: Reciprocity: We inherently want to return favors. In recent years, Cialdini has been leveraging those weapons to address major world problems such as climate change by persuading people to reduce energy use.
