The Irish Way to Understand Time
Manage episode 520837050 series 3664704
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.
