#caranam

I don’t know if this was public knowledge, but I just discovered something. In Crown of Midnight’s Acknowledgements, Sarah J Maas thanks her friend Susan Dennard and calls her her anam cara. The word reminded me of something else, used later in the series: caranam. A magic-soul-mate of sorts. A person who could strengthen your magic and vice versa. So I looked up the meaning of anam cara. It literally means soul friend. It comes from the celtic concept. See attached photos. I’m mind blown. Was I the only one to not realize this?

Guys.

In Gaelic, “Anam cara” literally translates to “soul friend”. It is someone with whom you can be completely open, someone whose soul flows together with yours.

Caranam.
