very nice, thank you.

 

the irish psyche has taken a real battering over some years now.

 

For most of this century and longer; until the last maybe decade or

so, not much longer, being irish was not a picnic.

 

Things got very hard in Ireland and this saw a lot of migration, and

those that left met with a lot of discrimination, and had to work

hard to survive.

 

And the catholic Church has been very controlling. As you may have

heard, even on the Irish traditional dance, there was pressure to

keep the arms still by the priests disapproval. And so much more. It

all distanced the people from the traditions.

Yes Dawn, the Irish are one of the more oppressed peoples historically

speaking. It seems that the stronger Angle, Saxon, Norse, and Norman peoples

(all of similar origins as Scandinavians originally), were able to run over

the Irish numerous times in history, terribly so, with genocidal intent and

result. Then there was that famine to add more pain. Now it's an OK place I

hear but the British are still in the North from one of their old

incursions, and won't leave, of course.

 

The Catholic Church- argh, why did the Irish side with that? Painful.

 

After all the Celts went through with Rome, who basically obliterated the

Celtic world, why did this last largest homeland of Celts accept the Roman

yoke for leadership? Bad choice. I know how it happened, yes I do, and

it's a historical fact and past tense, but still, in retrospect, it makes me

puke. Sorry. My opinion.

 

That's why India is special. It still has it's pagan multi God system, it's

old scriptures, it's old traditions, still so intact and available for

leaning, as we are doing here on this list.

 

Ireland is a special place, as the last holdout (along with Scotland,

Breton, Manx, Cornwall, Whales) of the Celtic heritage. Of all, it's the

largest of these, with the most Gaelic speakers. It has the most art and

heritage, and because of it, we have Celtic music, Celtic art, and so on,

thankfully, as no other music and art anywhere is quite like this. It is

unique, and beautiful.

 

As the articles states, what so many know, that Celts and Hindus were a lot

alike.

 

And I have to say, the Celtic culture, although apparently originally having

a good amount of warrior activity, did not stand up to either Rome or the

Scandinavian dispersed peoples incursions upon Celtic lands. The Celtic

culture is therefore, by inference, inherently softer, less into

organization, less into conquest, and more into just living.

 

Caesar always said of the celts that they were disorganized and

undisciplined in comparison to his troops. This is the advantage four, or

square, has over three, or nature, feminine. We are still, on this Earth,

locked in the Roman four-square mode of conquering nature and making square

everything- grid towns, square ugly buildings, etc., and nature is dieing.

 

Thanks for tolerating my ramblings on rather subtle matters dear to my mind

personally.
