  • Chapter Four Celtic Spirituality
    CHAPTER FOUR CELTIC SPIRITUALITY 4.1 Introduction The rediscovery of Celtic spirituality, particularly Celtic prayers and liturgical forms, has led to a popular movement, inter alia, among Anglicans around the world, including those in South Africa. Celtic spirituality has an attraction for both Christian and non-Christian, and often the less formal services are easier for secularized people, who have not been raised in a Christian environment, to accept. A number of alternative Christian communities wit h an accent on recovering Celtic spirituality have been established in recent years in the United Kingdom and in other parts of the world. The Northumbria Community, formed in 1976 (Raine & Skinner 1994: 440) is described as follows: The Community is clearly Christian, but with members from all kinds of Christian tradition, and some with no recognisable church background at all. We are married and single: some are unemployed, most are in secular jobs, some in full-time service which is specifically Christian, others are at home looking after families….Some of the most loyal friends of the Community are not yet committed Christians, but they are encouraged to participate as fully as they feel they can in our life. The Northumbria Community is one of several newly established communities with clear links to Celtic Spirituality. The near-universal appeal and flexibility reflected in the quotation above, is a feature of Celtic spirituality. For many in secularized Europe, the institutional church has lost its meaning, and traditional Christian symbols have no significance. Some of these people are now re-discovering Christianity through the vehicle of Celtic spirituality.

  • LUGHNASADH 2021 Welcome to the Lughnasadh Issue of Serpentstar!
    A newsletter of The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids in the Southern Hemisphere LUGHNASADH 2021 Welcome to the Lughnasadh issue of SerpentStar! Welcome to 2021! We bid farewell to an uncertain and difficult year, and enter into.....still uncertain times. The teaching continues to be that change is inevitable, and that the greater measure of life is how we respond rather than hoping nothing else will happen. Lughnasadh is a time of sacrifice and letting go, but also the beginning of the harvest. What seeds did you plant at this time last year that might be beginning to bear fruit now? In a time of response and change, and when in the Southern Hemisphere the time of transformation falls not long after the start of the calendar year, what seeds might you plant differently this year? In this issue of SerpentStar, we meet a pair of hens with a story of transformation, follow the paths of Lleu Llaw Gyffes and John Barleycorn, and bring the senses into online ritual. Happy reading, and blessings of the Season! In peace Mandy /|\ SerpentStar, Lughnasadh 2021 SerpentStar is a free, volunteer-produced online newsletter for members of the Order of Bards Ovates and Druids in the Southern Hemisphere.

  • A Comparison of Mythological Traditions from Ireland and Iceland
    THE ENCHANTED ISLANDS: A COMPARISON OF MYTHOLOGICAL TRADITIONS FROM IRELAND AND ICELAND A Pro Gradu Thesis by Katarzyna Herd Department of English 2008 JYVÄSKYLÄN YLIOPISTO Tiedekunta – Faculty Laitos – Department Humanistinen tiedekunta Englanninkielen laitos Tekijä – Author Katarzyna Herd Työn nimi – Title The Enchanted Islands: A comparison of mythological traditions from Ireland and Iceland Oppiaine – Subject Työn laji – Level Englanninkieli Pro gradu -tutkielma Aika – Month and year Sivumäärä – Number of pages Huhtikuussa 2008 124 Tiivistelmä – Abstract Vertailen tutkielmassani keskenään kelttiläistä ja skandinaavista mytologiaa. Molemmilla maailmankatsomuksilla uskotaan olevan juuret samassa indoeurooppalaisessa lähteessä ja ne ovat olleet historian aikana jatkuvasti tekemisissä toistensa kanssa. Tästä johtuen niiden uskotaan olevan samankaltaisia rakenteeltaan ja sisällöltään. Tutkielman lähtökohtana on, että mytologioiden samasta alkuperästä huolimatta ne ovat kehittäneet omat, toisistaan riippumattomat maailmankuvat. Analyysin päälähteitä ovat englanninkieliset käännökset keskiaikaisista teksteistä, kuten ”Book of Invasions”, Proosa-Edda ja Runo-Edda, sekä Crosslay-Hollandin ja P.B. Ellisin kirjaamat myytit. Kriittisen tarkastelun kohteena ovat myös muun muassa Hermin, Eliaden ja MacCullochin esittämät teoriat mytologioiden synnystä ja tarkoituksesta. Teorioiden ja tekstien vertailu antaa ymmärtää, että molemmat mytologiat kantavat samankaltaisia indoeurooppalaisille isäkulttuureille tyypillisiä maskuliinisia elementtejä, mutta

  • Ancient Irish Rhetoric
    Rhetoric of Myth, Magic, and Conversion: Ancient Irish Rhetoric Of our conflicts with others we make rhetoric; of our conflicts with ourselves we make poetry—William Butler Yeats Our first tendency is to look outside Europe when searching for ancient rhetorics that do not follow the Greco-Roman tradition. After all, much of European culture was strongly influenced by Roman culture, especially following the conquests of Julius Caesar in 58-51 BCE and subsequent conquests that brought most of Europe under Roman control. Rome’s civic practices, including variations of Greco-Roman rhetoric, were eventually taught in most parts of the continent. Even after the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D., Greco-Roman rhetoric continued to flourish in Europe, because St. Augustine, a generation earlier, had re-purposed it for the Roman Catholic Church in his On Christian Doctrine (426 A.D.). Ireland, however, offers us an interesting exception to Romanized Europe. The island’s remoteness allowed it to preserve much of its Celtic culture while keeping at arm’s length the cultural influences of Rome and much of medieval Europe. The Irish traded with the Roman world, and eventually they were converted to Christianity after the arrival of St. Patrick in 431 AD. Nevertheless, Irish culture stood apart from European culture, especially during the crucial period of the so-called “Dark Ages” from the fifth to ninth centuries. It was not until the date 1172 AD, when England’s Henry II conquered Ireland, that we might mark Ireland’s capitulation to European civic and educational practices—and then only as a conquered people.

    A newsletter of The Order of Bards Ovates and Druids in the Southern Hemisphere LUGHNASADH 2017 Welcome to the Lughnasadh 2017 issue of SerpentStar! Once again we move into a new calendar year, and begin the revelries of harvest time. Macadamia Grove had the joy of playing with fire for a second time, pictures on this page and elsewhere. Lots of neat stuff for you in this issue - poetry from wyverne and Chris Parker, Part 2 of James Howell's thought- provoking (and very topical) article, William Rattley shares another musing with us, we welcome the Song of the Eastern Sea Seed Group to the group listings, OBOD's new Portuguese language magazine Ophiusa to the publications list, two new celebrants (Jenneth Graham and Pamela Meekings-Stewart) to our advert section, and there's info on the 2017 Assembly which will be held in Sydney in August. And if that's not enough, we debut a bursting new New Zealand section - 'Aotearoa'! It's my hope that the marvellous content offered by our NZ cousins will inspire other groups around the Southern Hemisphere to send us some content - Brisa del Sur and Cradle Seed Group I'm looking at you!! NOW, there's also an announcement to make this issue. For those of you who don't already know, 2017 is the twentieth year of SerpentStar! Back in 1997 the first ever issue was released to mark Alban Hefin, and there's a scan of it on the archive page of the SerpentStar website. The archive page is growing, and my aim is to have the entire back catalogue of SerpentStar available in electronic form by the end of the year.

  • The Names and Epithets of the Dagda

Martin, April 2012 Aed Abaid Essa Ruaid misi .i. dagdia druidechta Tuath De Danann 7 in Ruad Rofhessa 7 Eochaid Ollathair mo tri hanmanna. “I am Aed Abaid of Ess Rúaid, that is, the Good God of wizardry of the Túatha Dé Danann, and the Rúad Rofhessa, and Eochaid Ollathair are my three names.” (Bergin 1927) This opening line from “How the Dagda Got His Magic Staff” neatly summarizes the names by which the Dagda is known in the surviving Irish manuscripts. Translations for these names begin to shed some light on the character of this deity: the “Good God,” the “Red/Mighty One of Great Knowledge,” and “Horseman Great-father.” What other information can be gleaned about the Dagda from the way in which he is named? This essay will examine the descriptions and appellations attached to the Dagda in various texts in an attempt to provide some further answers to this question. It should be emphasized at the outset that the conclusions below are intended to enrich our religious, rather than scholarly, understanding of the Dagda, and that some latitude should be afforded the interpretations on this basis. The glossary Cóir Anmann (The Fitness of Names) contains adjacent entries for the Dagda under each of his three names (Stokes 1897: 354-357): 150.

In 2011, VITAS killed an estimated twenty-two percent of the country’s population; severe storms, seismic shocks, and floods wracked the eastern coastline, and throughout the country the land underwent dramatic changes as magic returned to the world. Amidst these environmental changes came a profound change to the Irish people themselves: from 2010 to 2020, Ireland experienced the highest rate of UGE in the world, with elves accounting for nearly forty- one percent of all births, including a large number of “Spike Babies,” metahumans born before Awakening Day 2011.
