  • THE ORIGINS of the “Mccrackens”
    THE ORIGINS OF THE “McCrackens” By Philip D. Smith, Jr. PhD, FSTS, GTS, FSA Scot “B’e a’Ghaidhlig an canan na h’Albanaich” – “Gaelic was the language of the Scottish people.” The McCrackens are originally Scottish and speakers of the Scottish Gaelic language, a cousin to Irish Gaelic. While today, Gaelic is only spoken by a few thousands, it was the language of most of the people of the north and west of Scotland until after 1900. The McCracken history comes from a long tradition passed from generation to generation by the “seannachies”, the oral historians, of the Gaelic speaking peoples. According to tradition, the family is named for Nachten, Lord of Moray, a district in the northeast of Scotland. Nachten supposedly lived in the 9th century. In the course of time a number of his descendants moved southwest across Scotland and settled in Argyll. The family multiplied and prospered. The Gaelic word for “son” is “mac” and that for “children” is “clann” The descendants of Nachten were called by their neighbors, the Campbells, MacDougalls, and others the “Children of the Son of Nachten”, in Gaelic “Cloinne MacNachtain”, “Clan MacNachtan”. Spelling was not regularized in either Scotland or America until well after 1800. Two spellings alternate for the guttural /k/-like sound common in many Gaelic words, -ch and –gh. /ch/ is the most common Scottish spelling but the sound may be spelled –gh. The Scottish word for “lake” is “loch” while in Northern England and Ireland the same word is spelled “lough”. “MacLachlan” and “Mac Loughlin” are the same name as are “Docherty” and “Dougherty”.

  • THE RAINBOW FLAG of the INCAS by Gustav Tracchia
    THE RAINBOW FLAG OF THE INCAS by Gustav Tracchia PROLOGUE: The people of this pre-Columbian culture that flourished in the mid- Andes region of South America (known as The Empire of The Incas) called their realm: Tawantinsuyo, meaning the four corners. The word INCA is Quechua for Lord or King and was attached to the name of the ruler e.g., Huascar Inca or Huayna Capac Inca. In Quechua, the official language of the empire; Suyo is corner and Tawa, number four. Ntin is the way to form the plural. Fig. 1 Map of the Tawantinsuyo Wikipedia, (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/file:inca expansion.png) 1 Gustav Tracchia The "four corners" or suyos radiated from the capital, Cuzco: - Chincasuyo: Northwest Peru, present day Ecuador and the tip of Southern Colombia. - Contisuyo: nearest to Cuzco, south-central within the area of modern Peru. - Antisuyo: almost as long as Chincansuyo but on the eastern side of the Andes, from northern Peru to parts of upper eastern Bolivia. - Collasuyo: Southwest: all of western Bolivia, northern Chile and northwest of Argentina.

()www.geocities.com/Tropics/beach/2523/maps/perutawan1.html To simplify, I am going to call this still mysterious pre-Columbian kingdom, not Tawantinsuyo, but the "Empire of the Incas" or "The Inca Empire." I am also going to refer to events related to the culture of the Incas as "Incasic" or "Incan".

  • Archbishop Carlson
    Most Rev. Carlson's Coat of Arms Motto: ANTE CRUCEM NIHIL DEFENSIONIS | Before the Cross there is no Defense The arms of a diocesan bishop are displayed on a heraldic shield divided vertically into two portions. The arms of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw are the dexter impalement shown on the half of the shield to the viewer's left. The arms of the Bishop Carlson are on the sinister impalement, to the viewer's right. The personal arms of Bishop Carlson were designed by the Rev. James Parker. The "garb" is the heraldic representation of the sheaf of wheat and represents the bishop's native city of Minneapolis, Minn., known as the "Miller of the Midwest". The field of green suggests the great plains of South Dakota as well as the liturgical color for growth in the Faith. On the field, on either side of the sheaf of wheat are a crescent and a Latin Cross. The silver crescent represents Mary Immaculate and the Cross represents the bishop's faith committment and his mission to the faithful entrusted to his care. The heraldic cheif at the top of the shield is taken from the family arms of the bishop. The wavy bars in the base of the shield represent the Sioux River and the bishop's service in the Diocese of Sioux Falls. The scroll, bearing the bishop's motto is placed below the shield. As his watchword, the bishop chose: ANTE CRUCEM NIHIL DEFENSIONIS, which means "Before the Cross there is no defense". The entire achievement is completed by the addition of a gold processional cross that extends above and below the shield and a green ecclesiastical hat, the galero, with six tassles on each side disposed in three rows on either side of the shield.
