Reblogged: St. Patrick’s Day, Snakes, and Irish-American Pride

March 12, 2012 by greycatsidhe

There’s been a lot of discussion on the ADF Gael list about the term “Plastic Paddy,” St. Patrick’s Day, and All Snakes Day.  I’ve posted before about how I celebrate my Irish heritage that day.  A fellow Druid shared this blog post which goes into the history of the real St. Patrick and how his involvement in Ireland has been grossly misrepresented and exaggerated.  I definitely recommend it!

Random CR and Heathen ramblings…: St. Patrick’s Day, snakes, and Irish-American pride.

    I don’t celebrate it because my great grandmother was born in Northern Ireland and my mother used to send me to school in orange. I’m quite sure she’d haunt me if I did. Now I just where a shirt that says “pinch me and die’. LOL!

      Oh I can understand that. And gosh, I’d love a shirt that says “pinch me and die”! LOL!

    I had a girls’ day out with my daughter today. We spent it in Clayton. Although it was chilly, we always enjoy time at the river. We enjoyed seeing the frozen St. Lawrence, a hairy snow spirit peeking out of the ice, and even some kite skiing! There’s always something to see on the river. As for us, we went to a hair salon with a fantastic view, then did lunch looking fabulous. #stlawrenceriver #nny #winter #1000islands
    Lunch date with my husband!
    It’s cold and very, very white outside. I know it can start to exhaust us this time of year, but I appreciate the reminders of life all around. Green from the conifers, sunlight through pine boughs, and adorable footprints on the porch. Embrace each day’s gifts. Slow down and appreciate them when you can. #gratitude #winter #nature #naturespirits #druidry #druidsofinstagram
