HI, My name is Matthaeus, and I am 16 years old. I play piano, Irish whistle, Harmonica (some), and am trying to master the Bodhran. (Irish Drum) I love Loreena McKennitt's music because it is so Celtic and I am MEGA-CELTIC! I love anything and everything to do with the Ancient Celts (Except Druidry...0_0 hehe) I'm a Roman Catholic and I couldn't be prouder! VIVA CHRISTO REY! (Long Live Christ The King!) Also, my friends and I are trying to start a lay order called "Ordo Benedicti" (THe Order of Benedict) Go to www.collectio-rituum.wetpaint.com for that and MY PERSONAL website is www.verendus.50megs.com

Jolanta,
I couldn't help but notice on a second inspection of this post that the last few sentences are not in latin, what language are they in? It looks almost Gaelic, but I am not sure, is it your language?
Thanks, ~Matthaeus

Well, first of all, mae govannen ! («please to meet you» in Quenia elfish langage of Tolkien –........

*Real quick question* I am *somewhat* new to studying Quenya, but doesn't "Mae Govannen" Mean, "Well Met" In its literal translation?

Well, first of all, mae govannen ! («please to meet you» in Quenia elfish langage of Tolkien –even if I prefer Sindarin because, you know, I’m old , so I prefer the old langage of my young years … - ).
It’s good to not be a shame of your religion, but I hope, even if you don’t feel close to druids or other religions, you try to know them and to understand them . I do believe in God and I’m Christian but, in some days, I’ll go to a Beltain Celebration with druids and people who are on the way to be. They invited me last year and I must say that they are very kind, very open and the way they are «linked» to the nature is close to Buddhisme (and close to mine) . Their celebration filled me with happiness, life and energy, like the scout camps I went every summer when I was young. And all this was due to human warmth and how they give to the others. They are not Christians, but they give a lot, they accepted me as I was with my God and they became good friends who know how to support me when I need, even on my way to «find God».
So, I whish you to meet great people from other religions and beliefs as I did. Enough open-minded to accept you as you are , with your own God and your way to be religious. Enough kind to share and exchange with you great moments and goods thoughts ...
But for now, I whish you good times on the forum .

Aiya Mellon, and Mae Govannen to you as well. (I study Quenya )
I believe in absolute tolerance of every religion, I talk to Wiccans and Druids, I ask them about their religions and I tell them about mine. I thank you sincerely for your wish that I meet men and women as you have. Druidry and things of that sort have always astounded me, (My friends and I even have a *less spiritual and more fun* celebrations of Samhain, Beltaine, and Ostara As well as the others (mabon, litha, lughansah *not in all of those orders) But we incoroporate the Christian god where other Gods would be prayed to. We thank god for teh seasons and things etc. I just thought i'd share that with you Our group is called "The Ordo Benedicti" Our website is www.collectio-rituum.wetpaint.com Thank you, and Beatetur! (Beatetur latin for Blessed Be! or Bless you!)

So, you wish to (someday) master the Bodhran...So do I!! I must tell you, though, that I have been trying to master it for the past ten years, and so far such mastery has escaped me. I suppose it's like mastering the art of Living: It literally takes a lifetime to truly accomplish, and by the time you have it mastered it is too late -- but it sure is fun to try!
For Julianne: Playing the Bodhran is really very simple: If you can "shake down" a thermometer, you can play the Bodhran; They both use the same general motion of the hand. (I started out with an empty laundry soap box and a stick, of all things!)
Good to have you on the forum, Dominus_Lunae. Keep playing and keep enjoying Life!

Yes, It is a challenge, and to your comment to Julianne, sorry I thought she meant the whistle, hehe

I also love the penniwhistle. Is it hard to learn?
Julianne
If youre referring to the penniwhistle, I have one and it is not that hard at all, if you play piano it is especially easy to learn it. I reccommend a "Feadog" its the leading brand IN Ireland.
