There were so many moments of soulful resonance in listening to this particular episode. About a week ago (during a Writer's Knot session, actually), I wrote a few lines around a vision I had of the womb-like creative potential held within the cavernous space around the heart. Seán's discussion of the heart (and the space around the it) being a portal of the Sídhe was particular awe-striking for me - and had me pondering on the woven threads of imbas within the creative consciousness. How could I 'see' something with my Otherworldly eye and then shortly after hear the wisdom of another speaking to it directly? It was an incredibly experience to see (and feel) the thread connect these for me. (I don't know if that makes sense, maybe this is a great example of the logical human habit)
I am just beginning to learn about Mannanán but something spoke to my soul when I learnt about the féth fíada. It resonated as deeply nourishing and protective; like waters of the womb. I'm excited to see how Mannanán's presence continues to roll into my life - his wisdom seems to be particularly potent and poignant these days (especially since he has risen into my creative experience several times over the past months).
I too would also love to learn how to introduce myself in the Connemara way. The poetic impermanence of speaking my name (of this lifetime) in such a way really resonated - I may need to go back for another listen to see if I can learn it.
Míle buíochas Marisa and Séan for the soulful depths we were invited to journey upon with this episode - incredible, incredible wisdom here.
Oh my goodness, yes! The way Seán invited us to utterly transform our understanding of sídhe to both heart and womb awoke something so primal in me as well.
So deeply grateful for these reflections, sister. Mannanán seems to rising up to greet us on a great shared tide.

A wealth of knowledge here! Love the note about how to give your name and express an emotion in Connemara Irish. Both being something upon you, impermanent and subject to change. The possessiveness in English of “I am…” has always been too rigid for my taste!
