I've never been,,, but I've wanted to go since childhood.I'm thinking of going to the Highland games here in Seattle this year. :-)

 

Question; have you any experiences/past-life memories/intuitions about Faery/ or the Sidhe? By the way-- you should check out the Scottish painter John Duncan. I think you'd like his work. :-)

Fun pic!

I'm Irish!   From the land of the Tuatha de Dannan.  I've just finished reading about the Tuatha de Dannan and wanted to find out more about this ancient civilisation.  I was lead here...............

[Celticlass]

My Gran was from Galway,an Irish seer. I have worked with the Tuatha always and they with me. Nice to meet you

[Gerardine Scanlan]

Hey there

 

Cool.  Where do you live?  When you say your worked with the Tuatha, what does that mean?  I'm a bit of a novice with regard to where you guys are at.  I actually live in Ireland.  South of Ireland.  The land of Yeats, the famous Poet. William Butler Yeats spent alot of his life travelling around Ireland collecting stories on Fairy Folklore and the Tuatha De Dannan so that the legends and traditions would not be lost forever.  I've always made a point to have those stories in my head so that I can pass them on to my niece who is still very little.I've finished reading alot of the stories which tie in with alot of the mystical esoteric lore I've studies in the past.  These stories and traditions (some still practiced today in parts of Ireland) are only preserved in very few books of which Yeats is one of the primary collectors. 

 

I'm still researching (with difficulty) and trying to trace the Tuatha de Dannan and its experiences here in Ireland.  Many Irish people are healers & seers.  They just don't talk about it that way.  They speak of the seventh son of a seventh son and they use the light of christ as part of their healings.  However, many of the rituals and traditions are pre christian still.

 

I'd like to know more about how you work with Tuatha de Dannan.  Did you know there is a great musical group called De Dannan here and their music is very celtic & ancient.

TUATHA DEA? They are good friends of mine.......they are in Tennessee,so a different one,I guess. i live in Virginnia. I have followed a path of Scottish witchery always. It is in my Scottish Clan Gordon and family. My Irish side was from Gran. i was brought up on a FEY tradition. I dream the dreams and know what i know. You may want to read DRUID MAGICK by Maya Sutton and FAEIRIECRAFT by Alicien Geddes-Ward from Orkney. I connect with the warrior Fey. they are powerful spiritual entities ,that work with my magick and spellworkings. Before the Tuatha were the Great Fey race,we believe they were the Irish Warriors of Olde ,in the physical form. There is much history about the Tuatha de Danaan,in most Celtic lore books. Good fortune in your search. I do not get here,on this cite too much. My group is FEISTY WITCHES,on Pagan Space.net and you are welcome to join.

Clan Boyd.

Boidh is a variation of it that I like so I am using that on this site.

My dad has done a whole family tree on both sides of my family, and I have more Scottish in me than anything.

Boyd means "fair" or "yellow" and I think our people were from the Isle of Bute.

Many people on my father's side are animists. We celebrate both Native American beliefs and there's a quiet but enduring interest in the Celts. When my dad wanted to give me a pendant to remember him by, he suggested Celtic jewelry.. which.. he hardly mentions his Celtic roots [and I only just started to realize that the Celts were animists and feel a calling to home] so it is interesting to me.
