#An Cèitean

[booksesmyprecious]

I was at an academic witchcraft conference the other week. I made a joke the I just wanted May August and November back and a scottish guy “kindly explained to me” that Wiccan’s were appropriating the Gaelic language. Because the Scottish words for those months are An Cèitean and An Lúnastal.

My dude I am Irish.

[pieofdeath]

Halò! Is mise... Pìos no Pie, tha mi smaoineachadh. 'S e an-diugh an seachdamh Cèitean agus tha mi a' dèanamh "là bruidhinn do chànan"

Chan eil mi eòlach air leth nam faclan a sgrìobh mi, chan eil mi ach còigead latha a-staigh air Duolingo. Tha mi a' bruidhinn Gàidhlig na h-Alba!

Tha mi an dòchas gum bi fàilte orm!

Glè mhath. Once you’ve completed the Duolingo course, I have some resources here for you:  https://sgribhisg.tumblr.com/gaidhlig

I decided that I’m gonna start learning Gàidhlig during quarantine, as Gàidhlig is on the brink of extinction here in Scotland due to English colonialism back in 1616 where it was outlawed and in the 1700s where it was even banned in schools.

Duolingo is really helping me with it and I can say some very basic phrases right now like, “Tha cat agus cù snog” and other stuff like that but I’m very excited to progress and get better at it! :)

*Many weekday names break Gaelic's golden spelling rule (broad with broad, slender with slender), as they used to be written as composite words joined by a hyphen: Di-luain, Di-màirt.

**Didòmhnaich (lit.: the Lord's Day) is traditionally used in many predominately Catholic and Episcopalian communities, such as Barra, Eriskay, and South Uist, whereas latha na Sàbaid (lit.: the Sabbath Day) is used in many Presbyterian areas, such as Lewis and Harris. Nowadays, however, this distinction does not affect much and both words are equally common.

Months in Irish and Scottish Gaelic

It’s hard to exclude Scottish Gaelic when learning Irish, as there is a whole lot of overlap. Comparing what each calls the months of the year is a fun one as it highlights certain historical and cultural differences.

Gaeilge Eanáir Feabhra Márta Aibreán Bealtaine Meitheamh Iuil Lúnasa Meán Fómhair Deireadh Fómhair Samhain Nollaig

Etymology Latin Iānuārius Latin Februārius Latin Martius Latin Aprīlis Old Irish Beltane Old Irish Mithem Latin Iūlius Old Irish Lugnasad Mid-harvest End-of-harvest Old Irish Samhain Latin nātālīcia

Gàidhlig Am Faoilleach An Gearran Am Màrt An Giblean An Cèitean An t-Ògmhios An t-Iuchar An Lùnastal An t-Sultain An Dàmhair An t-Samhain An Dùbhlachd

Etymology Wolf Month The Cutting Latin Martius Pudding Month from Cètshamain Month of the Young Warm month Old Irish Lugnasad Month of fatness The Rutting Old Irish Samhain The Darkness

Historically, these terms have never strictly adhered to the modern day Gregorian calendar. Terms like Déireadh Fómhair—marked by the end of the harvest—could be from as early as September to mid-November depending on the weather.

The Irish Bealtaine and Gaelic An Cèitean are synonyms. The Scottish Gaelic Céitean refers to céad shamhain, which I covered in a previous post. Additionally, it is stated in Ó Duinnín's Foclóir Gaedhilge agus Béarla (1927) that Mí Céadamhan is the month of May, which means that both forms were used in Irish.

Some Ulster writers also use Mí na bhFaoillí or Mí na bhFaoilleach for January.

Another one that they actually do have in common as well is Deireadh Fómhair, as Scottish Gaelic also uses mìos deireannach an fhoghair. However, Gaelic tends to use the term for September, sometimes October and up to mid-November. Mìos Deireannach an t-Samhraidh is the archaic Scottish Gaelic term for July.

[boannismygurl]

Beltane (pronounced /ˈbɛltən/) is the anglicized spelling of Bealtaine or Bealltainn, the Gaelic names for either the month of May or the festival that takes place on the first day of May. In Irish Gaelic the month of May is known as Mí Bealtaine or Bealtaine and the festival as Lá Bealtaine ('day of Bealtaine' or, 'May Day'). In Scottish Gaelic the month is known as either (An) Cèitean or a' Mhàigh, and the festival is known as Latha Bealltainnor simply Bealltainn. The feast was also known as Céad Shamhain or Cétshamhaininfrom which the word Céitean derives.

As an ancient Gaelic festival, Beltane was celebrated in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man. There were similar festivals held at the same time in the other Celtic countries of Wales, Brittany, and Cornwall.
