Mac Macartney speaks of Ynys Mon, the island of the Druids, fear, courage, and connection: https://youtu.be/c2IYd3tohf4

' Would you be surprised if I told you that, far from being a land of monoglots, there are ten indigenous languages spoken today in the British Isles? Yet we are very quick to tell ourselves that we're rubbish at languages. We are linguistically isolated monoglots, marooned on a cluster of islands on the edge of the Atlantic. If we were in the mix of mainland Europe, we tell ourselves, we'd be blethering away in at least two languages.

Except, as you read this, people the length of these islands are using indigenous languages other than English to communicate with friends, family, teachers, colleagues and public services. That they are in the minority doesn't meant that they don't exist. In fact, the numbers of primary school-age speakers are growing; almost a quarter of school pupils in Wales are educated through the medium of Welsh, Northern Ireland is home to 30 Irish-medium schools, Scotland's capital has just opened a new, dedicated Gaelic school due to increasing demand, and the Isle of Man has a Manx-medium school.

All of these children are also fluent in English; indeed, in the case of Gaelic-medium pupils, they outperform their English-educated counterparts in English tests. Their bilingualism bucks the monoglot trend of the majority. '

Is Druidry Indigenous? The Politics of Pagan Indigeneity Discourse

Suzanne Owen

Issued Date: 23 Oct 2019

Abstract

This article asks if “indigenous,” associated as it is with “colonized peoples,” is being employed strategically by Druids in Britain to support cultural or political aims. Prominent Druids make various claims to indigeneity, presenting Druidry as the pre-Christian religion of the British Isles and emphasizing that it originated there. By “religion” it also assumes Druidry was a culture equal to if not superior to Christianity—similar to views of antiquarians in earlier centuries who idealized a pre-Christian British culture as equal to that of ancient Greece. Although British Druids refute the nationalist tag, and make efforts to root out those tendencies, it can be argued that it is a love of the land rather than the country per se that drives indigeneity discourses in British Druidry.

' some worlds have been destroyed or irreversably altered - after all, think of the primeval rainforests and all bioregions which no longer exist. the scottish gaidhlig word cianalas speaks to this concept, as does the welsh word hiraeth (in its own other way). the two can be loosely translated as a sense of longing for, or belonging to a place that no longer exists as it once did. cianalas is often attributed to the sense of longing for a home no longer accessible felt by hebridean gaels following their forced removal from their homelands during the highland clearances. some worlds only exist in memory, in the past, or in death - and none of those worlds are particularly easy to go to or come back from as folklore shows.

' Scáthach was commonly known as Scota, progenitor of the Scots and probably a good bit of the Irish. She was born Ankhesenamun Tasherit, hereditary princess of Egypt. Her successful escape from the clutches of the Egyptian priesthood, and her success at evading the assassins sent to kill her, is the source of legends. She did not have a sister but rather a famous cousin Meritaten Tasherit, also hereditary princess, which was a royal title meaning matrilineally descended from the primordial queen of Egypt. Meritaten also escaped the Priesthood to become Miriam, the founding matron of the Jews. Her ‘brother’ was Thutmosis V aka Moses. '
