Ireland was not so much settled as it was invaded by numerous waves of Magogians that invaded the sacred isle over at least a thousand years' time. Each wave of these ancient ancestors of the Irish came and placed their unique brand on the land that would eventually become known as Ireland, displacing, but not erasing, the previous sons of Magog who had come to the sacred isle to seek out their destinies.

"The history of Ireland is essentially a history of invasions. So, it was for good reason that the Irish monks who compiled the most ancient history of Ireland entitled their work Lebor Gabala Èrenn, “The Book of the Invasions of Ireland”. As we have seen, the vast majority of the invaders were Scythians or related peoples, all of whom had emigrated from Central Asia in ancient times to battle for control of “the island of the West”, the mysterious island that defined the furthest western extreme of the known world at that time. However, the first people to invade the sacred island, according to the Lebor, were not of Magogian extraction, but were direct descendants of Noah through his son, Bith. Bith is not mentioned in the Bible, but the Irish monks, ever wanting to harmonize the native Irish legends with the biblical text, and not willing to expunge this important person from Irish tradition forever without some sort of mention, apparently accepted his existence as true history, even going so far as to raise him to the high status of being a previously unknown son of Noah."

The various Magogian invaders who had come to Ireland in several waves over a period of over a thousand years had, over time, developed their own unique cultures and traditions, and worshiped their own unique pantheons of gods and goddesses. These ancient descendants of Magog also believed that many among their royalty were in fact "demigods", being partly human and partly divine. In Chapter III of The Mystery, we look at these ancient deities and demigods in depth.
