( Dreaming Alot and Stuff Forgotten )

Today is was Saint Patty's Day. Something randomly yet still related:
Why a shamrock?
Patrick used the shamrock to explain the Trinity, and has been associated with him and the Irish since that time.

I should've found my way to a local bar to drink green beer. I don't even think I wore my green today. But I did fly the only shamrock flag in the neighborhood.lol

I didn't really honor the day so I'll throw some blessing out.

Traditional Irish Blessings:

- Leprechauns, castles, good luck and laughter; Lullabies, dreams and love ever after. Poems and songs with pipes and drums; A thousand welcomes when anyone comes.

- May St. Patrick guard you wherever you go and guide you in whatever you do -- and may his loving protection be a blessing to you always.

- May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rains fall soft upon your fields and, Until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Don't tell me the shamrock is a sham. Charles Nelson has some nerve. He doesn't know Saint Patrick either. Grumble. The Gaelic word seamrog means "little clover." Think everyone knows that clover is shamrock so therefore shamrock is clover hence just being another name for it. Honestly, write a book about something more important that crushing beautiful Irish myths/truths.;)

Irish legend, the druids in Ireland looked at the shamrock as a sacred plant because its leaves formed a triad. Three was a mystical number in the Celtic religion.

Then St Patrick, who was thought to be born in Wales, used the shamrock in the 5th century to teach people about Christianity as he traveled around Ireland.

He told people that each of the three leaves illustrated the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit of the Holy Trinity.

Old Irish manuscripts make no reference to this in connection with St Patrick, so this is likely to be pure mythology.(Bummer)
