Hello, Ed.

?

You shouldn’t forget that the druids were Vates, Filidhs and Bards, ranks which describe Ritual Priests, Seers, and Poet/Singers.? The ‘recorded’ history of the land was oral, and druidic students spent years memorizing extraordinarily long poems that were recited at banquets and feasts, celebrating the bravery of their tribal patrons and the genealogy of their chiefs.? I believe that some of them quietly shifted into the role of Christian clergy and were at least partly responsible for the early annals putting into writing the long mythological origin myths of their island, previously maintained through these Bards.? How the origin myths might fit into the timing of the Ogham stones and the Eoghanacht can only be conjecture.? Most modern scholars discount the invasions of Ireland as little more than fiction, though I’ve always felt that where there is smoke, there is fire…

?

The organization, or lack thereof, of the early Irish Church was rather typical of the temperament of the tribal Irish – independent and relatively unstructured.? The Roman diocesan system that Patrick brought with him was largely ignored, and it wasn’t until the 12th century and the Synod of Cashel in 1101 that Rome began to make a real effort to compel the Irish to conform.? A pity…

Thanks Elizabeth,
Yes I see that Oghams in Ireland are concentrated in County Kerry’s Dingle and Iveragh peninsulas, with the tallest in Europe on Dingle. ? Elsewhere in Ireland, Scotland, Dyfed Wales, the Isle of Man and the border or Devon/Cornwall Oghams are found around the Irish Sea—about 400 inscriptions mainly in Primitive Irish plus some fragments of Pictish language.
The clues I see are cultural exchange by sea where personal names are commemorated, establishing tribal relationships and identities. ? ?And the predominance in southwestern Ireland suggests at the farthest Western shores of Europe, not yet literate or exposed to Roman or Christian beliefs, Irish and Welsh mythologies interacted. ? ? ?And if we believe the Milesians (Gaels) took Ireland from the native Irish before the Ogham timeframe, what role did Oghams play in their mythology and other worldly view in centuries to follow? ? ?Instead of Megalithic tombs in mounds, did Ogham’s mark a new era as the Eoganachta dynasty emerged concurrent with popularity of Ogham stones placed with purpose? ? ?Without written language, how did our ancestors honor their ancestral leaders and heros?
History says in 360 the Irish colonized the Island of Man and with the Picts conquered the Dyfed Promontory of present day Wales. ? ?Ogham inscriptions using Primitive Irish in Wales confirm the common cultural exchange through Oghams with the Kerry Irish promontories. ? ?Experts continue to unpack ancient mysteries through Ogham clues.

My interest is seeing possible dna exchange between Gaelic South Irish ancestry and Welsh-born Irish offspring through such pirate raids and possible slave capture back in the mists in time. ? ?Wasn’t St Patrick captured in an Irish raid, possibly taken from Wales in the 4th century? ? ?
