PSA: Gaeilge vs Gaelic

Gaeilge is the native language of Ireland. Gaelic (or Scottish Gaelic) is the native language of, you guessed it, Scotland. They share the same roots, but they are very different languages today!

I always feel like Irish students and characters got no love in Harry Potter (Seamus Finnigan was a huge stereotype, even if he was likable), so consider:

☛ Students speaking Irish amongst themselves and splicing Latin with Irish to create new spells (or disasters) ☛ The Quidditch team having Cú Chulainn in their fireworks instead of a leprechaun ☛ A regional magical sport which is essentially hurling but with sliotars that can move once on the ground in whatever direction they choose, and occasionally fly away from players when they lose momentum in midair. Not practiced officially in Hogwarts (yet) but students start to band together to form a club for the game. ☛ Irish Mythological and historical figures being cited as witches, wizards, or having other magical significance e.g. Cú Chulainn being a werewolf as a result of actually receiving a bite from Culann’s hound before killing it (explaining his “distortions”), The Morrígan being an animagus (turns into a crow), Deirdre having Veela blood (people literally killing each other to get in her pants) ☛ Oscar Wilde is a noted wizard and author. He knew Dorian Gray, who attempted to gain eternal youth by creating a horcrux, but eventually fell into madness and destroyed his own horcrux, killing himself. Wilde, while distraught, accidentally let this slip to a muggle friend, and covered it up by writing a story about it. Wilde’s own portrait now hangs in Hogwarts. He offers writing help, life advice, and complains about the wallpaper opposite him. Additions welcome get in here and get this express rolling

Turlough O'Carolan was the first wizard credited with enchanting a harp to play itself. Gráinne Mhaol (Grace O'Malley) was totally a sea-faring witch who could whip up torrents against English ships to lead them astray and make them more vulnerable to attack.

Food for thought, there fellow pagan.

I see this day as a time to honor a Catholic saint, who tried to peacefully convert the Irish to Christianity. He was not highly successful and was going to be lost to obscurity after his death, if it weren’t for some monks about 200 years later who decided to re-invent his image to bolster the support of the people. The conversion to Christianity was largely peaceful, and happened over the course of centuries. I think St. Patrick has been cast a hero and a villain, but in truth he was a good man, who believed deeply, and wished to teach forgiveness, like he had found within himself for the Irish who had enslaved him.

St. Patrick was enslaved for ten years. He managed to gain freedom, he sought out training as a missionary, he returned to the land that had imprisoned him, and he tried desperately to uphold Christian moral values. He did not kill. He did not harm. He spoke.

To me, his holy day is an opportunity to reflect on how our history is written and re-written to vilify and make the hero out of common men. I think we should be respectful, because we live in 2015, centuries removed, and we are pagans, and we have no need to turn a good man into a some monster. We’re better than that.

On top of that! Snakes are likely not a metaphor for Pagans at all because that wouldn’t make any sense. First of all, Saint Patrick was pretty good friends with a lot of Pagan Rulers, only a few of whom converted to Christianity. Second of all there was no Irish word for snake at the time. The word people refer to in relation to Saint Patrick is péist which does not mean snake. It means Eel. A huge proportion of of monster stories in ireland are about giant eels, to the point that the Irish for monster is Ollphéist which roughly translates as big ass eel. In the time of Saint Patrick one of the functions of a Saint was slaying monsters (think Saint George and the dragon) and there is literally a story about Saint Patrick killing a giant fucking eel with his crozier. There’s no way to say for certain, but the snakes almost definitely are not a metaphor for pagans. The snakes probably aren’t a metaphor at all. Saint Patrick drove the snakes out of Ireland is probably a translation for Saint Patrick killed a bunch of really big eels.

irish is such a shady language because hello is “dia duit” but directly translated it means “god be with you” and when someone says hello back they say “dia is muire duit” which means “god and mary be with you” .. its like “i see your god and i raise you the holy virgin whatcha gonna do bout it bitch”

irish isnt a language…
