Re: Tips for finding other Wiccans?

Re: Contemplating Druidry - Sources?

I don't pracrise Druidry, but being a Gaelic polytheist and Wiccan, I love the Druidcraft tarot deck.

Re: Tips for finding other Wiccans?

There are Facebook groups, but don't know if that's everyone's cup of tea. I believe there are pagan/witch/wiccan groups in meetup.com as well.

It sucked, I liked witchvox. Even though the traffic slowed with the advent of social media I still checked it regularly.

Re: Warrior

All can be a spiritual warrior, and adopt the ethos. Part of that is bravery, doing what's right, tolerate hardship, and push through adversary to be a part of something greater than themselves. Some actually do have to fight. To come to terms with the fact they can likely die, and if they don't, it...

Re: Celtic language study

That's strange, Blackbird is Éan dubh (the dhubh is a grammar thing, whether the preceding word is feminine or masculine it changes the spelling), and sounds like "ayne doo"(or duv in the other dialects). Dh makes like a g or r sound, so "druid dhubh" would sound like 'dridge-roo...

Re: Celtic language study

Not a bother! Yea that's actually how it would sound if you tried to pronounce it in Irish as well, but since the word is specifically Scots Gaelic, I left it alone. For us fairy is just "sí", and sounds like the end of "banshee", which is exactly what it is lol. Banshee literall...

Re: Celtic language study

Lol cheers. Yea there are three main Irish dialects, and a writing "official standard," that are mainly taught in schools, however ours teach our dialect, and just to recognise the others. Scots Gaelic and Manx are different ones, descended from Middle Irish, but have a lot in common. The ...

Re: Celtic language study

lol cheers! :D. There's a few ways to get the "w" sound, usually with bh and mh, and depends on if it's a broad or slender consonant. (slender if it comes before or after an i, or e; and broad with an a, o, or u) So bh&mh make a "V" sound when broad, by standard at least, we ...

Re: Celtic language study

I know! They'll go through the hassle of spelling "Lughnasadh" correct(even the old way), and then use the anglicised "Beltane," and call it an ancient festival. In Irish the month May is still Bealtaine. Here's the little one I only did on the Irish names used for the greater Sa...

Re: Celtic language study

Never tried those before lol. Except youtube, I made a vid on how to pronounce the greater Sabbat names once(only vid I ever did!), but those are pretty well known I think.

Re: Celtic language study

When it comes to old Celtic languages (Old Irish for example), we have Ogham inscriptions, texts, glossaries, and can translate them, but there's just (probably good) theories into how it was properly pronounced. Much different than what's spoken today. "Craigh na Dun" is from modern Scots...

Re: Imbolc time 0202 2020

We had our coven Sabbat on Saturday the 1st, and since I had two guests from outside the country, I took them to Brighid's holy well in Kildare. We were invited to see her perpetual flame at the Solas Bhríde centre. I've never visited there before, in myths ill fates fell upon men that got too close...

Re: New to Wicca

Greetings! Since Wicca is a religion that doesn't proselytise, or try to convert, recruit, or preach, it requires the seeker to seek out and contact a coven(traditionally the Gardnerian and Alexandrian traditions, plus a few more in the States). If you're interested in a solitary, or an eclectic pat...
