This is a great discussion to open and have, @Francisco! The article has a lot of great takeaway points and does a great job navigating through the murky waters of this issue. It’s a great read- thank you for sharing it!
I’m pretty sure Irish is the most widely spoken, so you would have the best chance finding ways to use or speak it . I believe @MeganB studies Irish language, so she may have some guidance for you if you decide to pursue this one!
I studied Scottish Gaelic for a while when I was living in Nova Scotia. It’s a very fascinating but tricky language, and I found it hard to learn because there were very limited ways to practice it. I honestly don’t remember much from the course- just that “bundata” means potato
As for Welsh, in addition to@kira-marie, I believe @trey is also pursuing Welsh! They’ll have the best advice for that very interesting language
No matter which one you choose, learning a new language has a host of benefits! It can be tricky, but always very rewarding. Best of luck in your language pursuits!
I agree- Duolingo is a great (and free!) intro to a new language, or way to practice and build on vocabulary for a language you’ve been studying for a while. Best of luck with Italian!
This is a really great point! Even if sometimes companies and businesses don’t go about things as respectfully as they could- there is the silver lining that comes with making things “mainstream”. I also hope that these trends, while not always approaching things in the best way, do help to make witchcraft and magick more common and accessible to all. I love your positive take on this, @kira-marie!
I usually have the same first impression when I see cultural or religious interpretations/influences in very unexpected places! I think it takes a very mature and strong mind to be able to step back and try to see things from all sides, and to look for the positive in each situation like this I love your positive realization that hey- maybe this will help someone along their way!
I was at TK Maxx (the European version of TJ Maxx ) and they had a line of crystal jewelry with the magick properties of the jewelry written on the cards! I was so surprised to see them there! But the pieces were lovely, used authentic crystals (to the best of what I could tell lol), and the descriptions were very nicely written. I’m even considering going back and buying one or two!
