Irish Greetings & Sayings

In Celtic Spirituality, the natural world is seen to be infused with the Divine. In this talk, you are introduced to Irish/Gaelic greetings and expressions which illustrate a deep connection with nature. There is a depth of meaning in the ways in which different languages express what we are intending to convey. The talk concludes with two prayers from this tradition.

Thank you Tony, listening to this made me smile as it reminded me of the Irish sayings my wonderful Granny from Donegal used to say 🙏

Tony, thank you for introducing me to some Irish expressions and sayings I didn’t know! I have always enjoyed Irish sayings over the years—so colorful, full of humor and generosity! Of the predominant nationalities of immigrant families in my Catholic grammar school (Irish, Polish and Italian) the Irish kids always seemed to most naturally convey the expressions and traditions of their forebears, and it was contagious, and must have been so wherever Irish folks put down roots! To this day, St.Patrick’s Day is pretty universally celebrated anywhere you go in the US! As we say, “We’re all Irish on St. Pat’s!”
On another note, I was curious that the art for this track shows a 4-leaf clover rather than a shamrock! I have often heard (from the nuns back in that grammar school, and later from other Irish friends) that it wan anathema to use a 4-leaf clover to represent anything Irish, because the “proper” symbol was the shamrock, as it represented the Holy Trinity. I’m interested to see that you show the 4-leaf clover! There’s obviously more flexibility around the symbol than I was led to believe. It makes sense, cause the Irish are also portrayed as lucky!
Have a good week, Tony, and be well!

Lovely sharing of Gaelic greetings that add spiritual richness to the everyday--spoken in a gentle, deeply kind voice

Our Son in law is from Killarney Tony. A lovely man from a lovely family I have heard a few of the Gaelic saying always thinking they sound so profound

Thanks for sharing a bit of Irish culture with us. I've heard a few of these over the years but always nice to hear the Gaelic phrases! Brings out the anthropologist in me! May the road rise up to meet you... Namaste
