Viriditas - The GreeningSt. Patrick was a lapsed Druid...The Irish harp...& "Rhineland School of Mysticism"
Today I am invoking with my mother’s Irish ancestors - The Tuatha Dé Danann - goading Leprechauns - & jigging in the green spectrum of the rainbow - after a night of lake-effect thunder & lightning, producing a slushy snow squall – my soul humming like an Irish Harp, integral to Celtic culture, curling in my cochlea, like I did in the womb.
Based on the ancient lyre, the Irish harp is one of the world’s oldest instruments. Ireland is actually the only country in the world to have a musical instrument as its national emblem. The primeval Irish kings encouraged harpists to entertain the tribe, granting these bards a special prestige in Gaelic society. When the British invaders moved in, they made it illegal to even possess an Irish harp, & set out to burn every sacred instrument, & imprison the Druid Priests & Bard-Singers of the land, in a failed attempt to kill the “Celtic Spirit.” This lilting fairy music went underground for a wee time, only to rise up again with a renewed vigor, so that today the Celtic revival is stronger than ever, especially in Northern Ireland, where British oppression still seeks to reign.
Éire go Brách (literally means “Ireland till the end of time”)
With a nod to St. Paddie & the Trinity in the Shammrock, I am also thinking of the monastery of Hildegard von Bingen, built by Irish monks on the Rhine River. Distinctly Celtic, her "Rhineland School of Mysticism"- honored the authority of women, & the Holy Spirit as the Divine Feminine power of the Trinity - the healing nurturing power that sings thru Nature. She called this power "Viriditas” a word she coined, which means "the Greening."

LENT III - Awakening Of Love - v48 In light, whose flowing from the heights would be the world's empowering of soul, let shine the certainty of cosmic thought that solves soul riddles empowers light's awakening of love.
