03152027
Irish dindsenchus > or Dindsenchas or Dindshenchas (modern spellings: Dinnseanchas or Dinnsheanchas or Dinnṡeanċas), meaning "lore of places"[1] (the modern Irish word dinnseanchas means "topography"),[2] is a class of onomastic text in early Irish literature, recounting the origins of place-names and traditions concerning events and characters associated with the places in question. Since many of the legends related concern the acts of mythic and legendary figures, the dindsenchas is an important source for the study of Irish mythology. Dinnseanchas can also refer to an Irish journal which discusses placename meanings.
Something we as Druids should seek to know and understand better. Where ever we are. Both the History and the Genus Loci, which requires talking to the land.

D: #Geas
Continuing on Old Irish words and terms:
Here is one you will see or hear from time to time:
Also I believe each Soul reincarnates with, yet the conscious mind is most often unaware of. We can blame either the Over-Soul or The Sisters of Fate or more correctly (I believe) both.

D: #Samildánach
The Irish though / Word this morning 2:30 am
Samildánach
An alternante name for Lugh Lamhfada; it means a polymath, one who is skilled in many diverse arts. When Lugh came to Tara, he was told that he could only join the Tuatha de Dannan if he could perform a task that none could perform. It was found that though everyone else could perform one task, he could perform all tasks, and so this unique ability to do all allowed him acceptance.

In many ways a Druid's Training strives to create this as they go through these three stages. The order here is how I feel they should be taught. Not the common order of most Druid Orders.
1) Vatis or Ovate as seer, psychic and prophet must learn to hear and see with the Psychic mind as first.
2) Bard as poet and warrior must learn to teach , how to bless and curse (druid rhetoric {Rosc or roscanna magick poems} ) with the psychic mind, tongue and body as second.
3) Druid as wiser warrior and peace keeper must learn to deal with the Politics of Life both Human and Gods as last.

D: #Druii

Other Times I use (Irish) Drui or Druii or even Draoi in its proper (I believe not being a polymath) form and Druid as the Plural form.

>> The word “druid,” or rather druides, is first attested in Latin and Greek, though it is of Celtic origin. Irish forms of drui (singular) and druid occur fairly frequently in medieval Irish literature, though mostly as references made in passing, and much more often than the Welsh cognate dryw occurs in in early Welsh.<< Ref. http://www.digitalmedievalist.com/opinionated-celtic-faqs/…/
>>The word is the plural of the title Drui (or Draoi) and Anglicized into a singular term. They were the ‘learned elite’ not unlike the Brāhmana (Anglicized as Brahmin) of Vedic culture or the Philosopher/Teacher of Greek tradition. Current scholarship questions whether they were more philosophic or religious in their focus, but they generally were teachers, historians, ambassadors, and conduits to the Gods by their knowledge of the correct understanding of ritual to varying degrees. It is likely the profession had various specialties similar to the Vedic Brahmin. References to druid can be found from Gaul to Ireland, but seem absent from the Iberian Peninsula and Northern Italy.<< Ref. http://www.legioviferrata.com/celts/id8.html
D: #Draíocht
Still chasing words and Terms.
Some know the Order ADF
Did Druids do real Magick?
Draíocht - One of the three primary arts, the word is used to refer to what we would now called "magick" (in both the simple and the ritual sense). It means "the use of powers to effect ends." Spell-casting, the use of evocations and invocations, the practice of chanting, circle dancing (intended to bring about a particular end) and other arts are all considered disciplines of draíocht. http://www.isisbooks.com/celtic-springs.asp

D: #Dorie
While greater Pagus sleeps with the white light on in mindless bless.
Let us again look at a interesting old word that is in our past and also share a Fun link to boot.
Doire (IG) > The origin of the word ‘Druid’’ is unclear, but the most popular view is that it comes from ‘doire’, an Irish-Gaelic word for oak tree (often a symbol of knowledge), also meaning ‘wisdom’. Druids were concerned with the natural world and its powers, and considered trees sacred, particularly the oak.
Druidism can be described as a shamanic religion, as it relied on a combination of contact with the spirit world and holistic medicines to treat (and sometimes cause) illnesses. They were said to have induced insanity in people and been accurate fortune tellers. Some of their knowledge of the earth and space may have come from megalithic times.

denomination (unit in a series of units of weight, money, etc.)
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/aicme
The ogham alphabet originally consisted of twenty distinct characters (feda), arranged in four series aicmí (plural of aicme "family"; compare aett). Each aicme was named after its first character (Aicme Beithe, Aicme hÚatha, Aicme Muine, Aicme Ailme, "the B Group", "the H Group", "the M Group", "the A Group"). Five additional letters were later introduced (mainly in the manuscript tradition), the so-called forfeda.

D: #Adder
Our Druid Snake.
Adders Snakes and Druids:
You will hear (read) at times me and other Druids refer to themselves or ancient Druids as Adders (a kind of Snake).
There are many references to Snakes and old Celtic Gods and Goddesses, also Druids having a special relationship with them. I will only go into one here that I often use. As it seems many Neo Druids still have the Christian phobia of snakes even as they walk the Druid's Woods.
>> Ref 1 In a poem of Taliessin, translated by Davies, in his Appendix No. 6, is the following enumeration of a Druid's
"I am a Druid; I am an architect; I am a prophet; I am a serpent" (Gnadr).From the word "Gnadr" is derived "adder," the name of a species of snake. Gnadr was probably pronounced like "adder" with a nasal aspirate.
“Ophiolatreia” is a interesting read and has a section on Druids and their special relationships to snakes.

Three Forms of Imbas
https://books.google.com/books…
The three forms of imbas are distinguished and born through different aspects of meditation.
Imbas Forosnai is formed by becoming a cauldron that is empty, yet ready to receive enlightenment. It is the root of meditation in that it is a clearing of the mind.
Teinm Laegda is done my “chewing” which is a disguised way of saying that it is accomplished through using a word or phrase over and over again like a mantra.
Dichetal do Chennaib is the art of linking one sound, word or concept to another like the rungs of a ladder to allow one to elevate knowledge from one level to another. It is very reflective (or even) the source of alliteration in poetry that connects sounds, words and meanings to one another through the “head” or beginning sounds. It is one of the fundamentals of poetry along with rhyme, rhythm and form.
If one is going to seek these three forms of inspiration, some training and study in aspects of culture and consciousness are required (in order to empower the experience and allow its outcomes to be more useful to the surrounding world as well as the inner self).

D: #Bri
Well is is a Teaching Moot, so I guess you get to listen to me drone on at times. LOL
The question the meaning of (old Irish) term "bri" came up. And I gave the results couple of carefully worded web searches. That gave the correct answer in this case. (See older entries).
Well last night I took out mt "Go to" Hardback and decided to cross check.
(The Oxford Dictionary of Celtic Mythology by Dr James MacKillop).
Now I recommend Dr. MacKillop's word highly and one can get used copies at fair price. Yet it this case Dr. MacKillop rendered term in perhaps more modern Irish a "hill". Just goes to show that one needs to cast a wide circle when studying.

D: #Seanchas
Waxings on our old Irish thoughts terms and words.
Perhaps not all Bards are Druids but all Druids (I believe) are Bards and "Seanchas".
TDK
TDK
A seanchaí ([ˈʃan̪ˠəxiː] or [ʃan̪ˠəˈxiː] - plural: seanchaithe [ˈʃan̪ˠəxɪhɪ]) is a traditional Irish storyteller/historian. A commonly encountered English spelling of the Irish word is shanachie.
The word seanchaí, which was spelled seanchaidhe (plural seanchaidhthe) before the Irish-language spelling reform of 1948, means a bearer of "old lore" (seanchas). In the ancient Celtic culture, the history and laws of the people were not written down but memorized in long lyric poems which were recited by bards (filí), in a tradition echoed by the seanchaithe.

Introduction
02132017
A place for the Old Irish Tounge and their Druid Ways.
Perhaps some have wondered why I am sharing random Old Irish and other Celtic word term and ideas.
To know the true name of something is a major step in understanding its Power and Purpose as all Good Druids and Ceremonial Magus known.
This also then leads to helping you use that Power and Purpose in your own Magick or Druid Conjure . As I like to referee to as DruiDo.
As I am neither speaker of Modern Middle or Old Irish. Please forgive any Spelling or usage that does not match what you have been taught.
I will be using my Wise and Learned Sources and often perhaps a bit out on Context and hopefully copyright.
Just a heads up, most of the blogs here are living documents and will be updated as new or better resources are found. I will try and be disciplined about keeping a last edited date at the begining of them.
