Reading "Three Books of Occult Philosophy," I found information related to Goths! Beyond already cited reference to identifying a geographical location for the Goth Empire, there is a further reference to another Goth. This Goth is said to be different, because Gott is the name of the chief God in an Icelandic religion. This is interesting, because according to on-line texts Gott is good in German, yet according to the book Gott or Guth is God in Germanic languages. God is Gud in Danish.
There is a substantial difference between the Danish and German languages. A simple word like cookie is platzchen in German and smakage in Danish. Thinking about it, German is similar to Mandarin in several ways. It emphasizes "chen" and deemphasizing "er." Danish has a lot of "k" and "awe" sounds throughout the language.
The book identifies the two cultures as two separate entities; however, they might stem from a similar background. This particular citation is in contemplation of "the blessed spirits of the anamastical order." Stories claim, "The king of the Goths, wandered in the deserts of Scythia in Asia beyond the marshes of Meotis." Finding a map, Scythia is north-east of Arabia; therefore, not in modern Asia. Instead, it is around the location of Magog, according to Druidic maps.
The story goes on to say, "There being impregnated by fauni (female deities) and satyrs (male deities), brought forth the first Huns." Fauni and Satyrs are types of "Gods." This is a snippet of cultural knowledge, well known during Agrippa's time, to establish a shared philosophy of Gods intermixing with humans causing children who rise to heaven or remain earthbound. It could imply interracial marriage. Intimating ideals of creature spirits there is substantial evidence Goths originate from Asia.
Unable to find much information about Gott or Gotland; therefore, associated to Nordic cities. Gott is described as a mighty warrior riding a horse. Gotland might be near the United Kingdom. There is a town named Gott in the Sheltland Islands. There is no way to determine if people heard Gott and named the city or the name was carried over from ancient times.
The name of Gott becoming God is hardly mentionable. It was historically easier to use the existing name of the creator in a religion over attempting to make indigenous people understand God has different names. If any conspiracy exists, it is in association to a platform; wherein, people adapted Taoism to Judaism or Christianity. It is not the first time I have heard this theory. A Christian sect once explained after Jesus was born they fled to the east and later reappeared in Israel. There was an abundance of time Jesus may have been raised in "Asia."
The murky water potentially implying heresy is if people thought all knowledge was gained through neighboring countries not God. Though there are some similarities in ethical treatments. It is possible people were observing God's work similarly and multiple cultures while in contact with God. I believe each culture made a contract with God involving generations, not just the Jewish people. Even it was a collaborative effort; information in "Existence of God" is completely unexplainable.
Though modern Goth Culture is largely a media spectacle without any particular race, religion, ideology or substance, fact-finding is fun. The original utterance of "Goth" came from somewhere. There is also a large amount of traditional Asian influence in Goth music. It is almost as though musicians were attempting to create Asian influenced music after Led Zeppelin became popular and teens listening to the music were too inept to make a connection between the two ideas.

Gaul and Goth
It is strange. For some reason information about prehistoric Gaul is missing from the internet. Most people in Western Europe and United States are obsessive over Greco-Roman Culture. History seems to begin around the military campaigns of Caesar and Alexander the Great, save an elusive map on Mediterranean Civilization. Maps from the turn of the century show how Goths were suppressed in Western Europe. Therefore, the information is backwards on several sites who claim Goths originated in France. One map identifies in Africa.
Visa-Goths and Vandals spread out from a similar location in the east. Theoretically, this location would encompass all known cultures at the time. Though descriptions of the people are limited, they are described as wearing pants. The genetic traits were numerous from monstrous to fine and beautiful. Therefore, I believe it was the first cultural melting pot. Agrippa verifies the Goth Capital is further east than Eastern Europe. One search instance produces a land called Magog. It has Five Providences. However, going even further back Gaul was only a small territory along the foothills of the Tibetan Mountain Range.
Gaul was originally the Four Corners of the World. They do not have much documentation, except, in Mongolia, China and Greece. It grew because of the convenient location for major trade routes between the four major cultures of the time: China, Africa, Mediterranean and Northern Europe. Back then territorial lines were less presumptive. The empire grew and sought to take over new lands. They spread by conquering regions to the west. They had an encounter with the Roman Empire, before the Roman Empire sought world domination.
The Druid Geomancer refers to the commonality of five sons in several myths of creation, including: Greek, Hinduism and Druidism. However, most of Ireland has conveniently decided the story, wherein, a woman gave birth to five sons who would populate the earth in a cave deep within the heart of Ireland as a mishap spread after the attack of the Firebog or the five divisions of Ireland.
There is a story related to the five emperors in Chinese prehistory (2850 BC to 2205 BC). This story has a documented history. It is odd how a similar story of creation involving five sons, mountains, territories, and etcetera should be spread across such vast distances. Considering war and military conquest, it could be normal. There are signs of sharing and incorporating Gods and religion in the Greece and Druidic religions. An obvious comparison is the Horse Woman of Greece and Rhiannon, the Woman riding a White Horse of Druidism.
This does not mean Gaul inhabited this entire region; however, as a major trade route many stories were spread and brought back to various cultures. When attempting to interpret Modern Goth Culture, it is important to understand a handful of concepts. Goth was a term used by the English to call someone a barbarian. This stems from the Vandals. The Visa-Goths were mercenaries. Goths were multicultural and considered to be an advance culture. They benefited form learning all cultures. The true bias of their religion is allusive; except, it was a hybrid of all religions.
People want to inhibit Goth Culture by making it into a historical reference. However, if researching non-essential and completely irrelevant interpretation in relation to Modern Goth Culture that stems from insulting emerging Post-Punk Bands, Goth is not a race or culture. Even if wanting to imitate the culture, you will find Goths are open to different ideas. In fact, they appear to be successful from capitalizing on multiculturalism and diversity.
