28th Mount Haemus Lecture ~ The Colloquy of Brigh Ambue
The significant position of ‘three’ in Irish cultural traditions, of Sky, Land and Sea and the central role of triads within Druidry, is a triplicity deeply embedded within cultural patterns of thought that resurfaces in recurring motifs, in art, tales and language throughout time. This leads to querying where the ‘three’ in gender roles may have been positioned in Irish societies and ancestral culture and what may have been rendered invisible through colonisation. This includes recognition of the Irish people and of Irish language as Indigenous to the land of Éire.
