In this episode, we dive into Ireland's Hidden Curriculum through something deceptively ordinary: the names of the months.

By shifting your meon — your mindset — we explore how time itself becomes a doorway to the deeper Irish worldview.

We look at:

  • Why the English month names are Roman imports that don't match Irish reality
  • How the Irish (Latin-influenced) months begin to re-root the year in our own landscape
  • The powerful native Irish names — Bealtaine, Lúnasa, Samhain — and what they truly mean
  • The older Celtic two-season cycle beneath them
  • How Irish reveals an extraordinary way of seeing time, land, and story

By the end, you'll never look at the calendar the same way again.
