The transmigration of the soul is a familiar theme in Celtic legend,
certainly.

I did note that te one element of the  Briah cycle which does *not* fit in
with neo-Catholic ideas is the frequent transfer of human identity.

In the Bible there is the  "possession" of humans by indwelling demons or
angelic forces, but the idea that a human soul could shift from body to body
is not found.
