Invitation from Con and Niamh Connor
Candlefield, Trien, Castlerea, Co. Roscommon
We, Niamh and Con, feel a responsibility to take positive action to restore our shared and unique Celtic Gaelic culture. We invite you to join us in full involvement in a shared Celtic Path. We see this restoration happening by recreating bonds of trust between like-minded households. We have made our public proclamation as Indigenous Celtic Gaels* and we breathe lifeforce into this claim by living an indigenous way of life. We wish to organise ourselves as Indigenous Celtic Gaels in a manner that honours our ancestors and provides us all with a safe and abundant livelihood for our families today.
The Irish State is corrupt and a perpetrator of serious harm to the land and to people of the land. We believe the strongest action we can take right now is to support each other in becoming independent of that completely corrupt State. We are not setting up a new political party within a corrupt state, nor are we directly opposing the State or attempting to create a solution for the entire population, we are organising ourselves to live our lives as Sovereign Indigenous Celtic Gaels of Éire.
We believe that by sharing our energy we multiply the shared benefits. We have designed a framework which we feel honours our ancestors and facilitates us to restore our livelihoods with respect for each other and our living connections to the Land, Sea and Sky of this beautiful country. We are now seeking to create a network of alliances organised as a Tuath Mór. A Tuath is grouping of organised sovereign people living a traditional way of life on the land and a Tuath Mór is a grand alliance between these people – the closest English term being a Celtic Nation.
Throughout our written documentation we have used political terms such as indigenous and native, supreme being and religion and we have referenced international human rights declarations. We have been learning from other native peoples who have treaties with the occupying Imperial States on their Indigenous Territories. We know we have an inherent right to self identify as indigenous and to declare ourselves individually and collectively as belonging to this Land. This naturally leads on to exercising our inherent right to self govern. This ‘right’ emanates from our prior occupation on this Land and from our belief that we have a spiritual agreement with Nature which places a responsibility upon us to live a culturally appropriate livelihood.
Our interactions with the State have not been to ask for indigenous status or to be ‘granted’ the right to self government, but simply to have our pre-existing rights recognized within the state’s administrative mechanisms. This does not give any indigenous man or woman superior rights to that of a citizen of the State of Ireland, nor does it give anyone a ‘get out of jail free card’ but it does compel the State of Ireland to engage with us as Indigenous People under the terms and agreements of international treaties.
We are in a transitional phase and are very aware of the violence that the State is capable of. We do not wish to put ourselves, friends or families in the line of direct fire. We wish to network and co-create fertile ground for happy people to grow and live a good rewarding life. We believe the strongest protection we can give each other is an abundant source of quality living food, fuel, shelter and networks of communication with strong bonds of trust and mutual respect. We do not need outside permission to organise ourselves in this way but we do see benefits in seeking the support of other indigenous nations around the world.
We have prepared and now share below an outline of our intention on how we wish to proceed and share it with you now as a foundation document. We wish to know if you are interested in making an alliance with our household to form the ‘Mother Clann’ within our proposed framework of alliances known as Tuath Mór na nGael. We ask you, for now, to keep this proposal confidential within your own Teaghlach (household).
If you are interested in discussing this proposed alliance with us within the general framework as presented in the below document we wish to invite you to an information session with the aim of progressing this potential alliance.
The first information session took place on Saturday the 10th of July from 2pm to 5pm and a mother Clann named Clann Crom agus Corra was formed. If you wish to join us for an information session including an opportunity to join, please email us at [email protected] and include your full name, address and telephone number.
It is our intention to then share a copy of this framework with other indigenous nations with whom we are in contact with. We will ask each nation or group of indigenous people to consider supporting and making an alliance of friendship with Tuath Mór na Gael.

Dúchais na nGael
Living Heritage of the Gael
We, the members of Tuath Mór na nGael, are Celtic Gaelic people of this island territory known as Éire. We honour Nature as Supreme Being and recognise each individual man, woman and child as integral to Nature and sovereign in their own right. We claim and exercise our hereditary rights to practice our cultural traditions on our homeland, Éire.
Tuath Mór na nGael is an alliance of Celtic Gaelic Tuath determined to live by our Celtic Gaelic culture of traditions, customs and heritage. Each Tuath is an alliance of 3 or more Clanns and each Clann is an alliance of 3 or more Teaghlaigh (households). Each Teaglach (household) is comprised of adult members who self-identify as Celtic Gaels.
We honour our ancestors by restoring 1) the bonds of trust between our households, 2) our traditional livelihoods, 3) the mixed woodlands and thriving inland / coastal waters, 4) the indigenous language, arts, crafts and meitheal of our unique Celtic Gaelic culture.
This document outlines the structures within Tuath Mór na nGael. Tuath Mór na nGael is an initiative of Celtic Druid Temple and this document is best read in conjunction with Celtic Druid Temple's Indigenous Religion of Éire Policy Statement.

Teaghlach (Gaelic Household) is a household of Daoine (individuals) living in Éire and is comprised of people who self-identify as Celtic Gaels and are determined to live according to our Celtic Gaelic customs, traditions and heritage.
Members of each Teaglach should:
1. Self-identify as a Celtic Gaelic Duine
2. Have or aspire to have a livelihood connected with Nature
3. Be actively involved with and connected to Nature
4. Recognise Nature as Supreme Being
5. Be willing to adapt, evolve and transmit our cultural heritage to future generations
6. Be open to forming bonds of trust with other Teaghlaigh to create a Clann
7. Participate in Meitheal (shared work)
For this start up stage - new Teaghlaigh (households) are best suited to rural locations with access to land and direct association and involvement with the Mother Clann; Clann Crom agus Corra. It is when Teaghlaigh agree to form a Clann that they leave the Mother Clann however there is no time limit of direct association and involvement with the Mother Clann.
It is wise to make alliances with other Teaghlaigh and to create a Clann. If a household does not fulfil the criteria to be recognised as a Teaglach within Tuath Mór na nGael or it is not available to form an alliance with another household it is still possible for that household to receive support and guidance from its nearest Clann and or Clann Crom agus Corra.
Clann is an independent alliance based on trust, respect and honest dignity between three or more Teaglaigh. A Clann alliance facilitates Teaghlaigh to interact with each other on an ongoing basis within pre agreed dates. Each Clann is independent and has an agreed process for defining their shared goals and associated actions. Each Clann also has an agreed decision making and problem solving process, to which leaders of other Clanns within the Tuath may be invited for guidance. Once an alliance is formed and it has been operational for 3 full solar years then a celebration can take place where the Clann declares its name and receives recognition from other Clanns. A gathering for celebration by the new Clann can be extended to all members of the local Tuath, at a minimum the heads of the other Clanns within the Tuath should be invited to the Naming Celebration.
There are many motivations for households to form Clanns, for example it may be to create a meitheal agreement and support each other to achieve better food, fuel or housing security, and/or to learn Gaeilge or to establish and maintain an enterprise. Every Clann has a three year renewal plan where the Clann leader and strategies are agreed. When three or more Clanns make an Alliance a Tuath is created.
Tuath is an alliance between three or more Clanns. The Tuath supports the Clanns and associated Teaghlaigh. Each Tuath combines both people and territory i.e. the Land and the People cannot be separated as the People’s livelihood is dependent on the same area or territory. Every Tuath is sovereign in its own right. It is completely autonomous in its decision making and problem solving functions. It is comprised of representatives from each Clann and it holds the responsibility for accepting new Clanns into its Tuath, for coordinating celebrations and promoting problem solving and dispute resolution procedures. The Tuath also functions as a mechanism to communicate and trade with other Tuath. Every Tuath has a three year renewal plan where Tuath leader and strategies are agreed. When three or more Tuath make alliances a Tuath Mór is created.
Tuath Mór (Celtic Nation)
The purpose of this alliance is to work together to collaboratively steward all our shared natural resources. The Tuath Mór is comprised of representatives from each of the Tuath. The Tuath Mór respects the living traditions of each separate Tuath and does not interfere with the workings of any Tuath or take any actions to diminish the sovereignty of any individual Tuath, Clann, Teaglach or Duine. Every Tuath Mór has a three year renewal plan where Tuath Mór leaders and strategies are agreed. At this time alliances with other Tuath Mór or Nations may also be discussed and agreed upon.

Culture of the Celtic Gael
Seanchas, Féineachas, agus Dúchas
Traditions, Customary Law, and Heritage
We are the creators and bearers of our own culture. Our culture is comprised of an evolving set of Seanchas, Dlíthe agus Dúchais (traditions, customary laws, and heritage) which are derived from our ability to adapt in response to our environment, historical and social events, and from our interactions with Nature.
Seanchas (traditions) are the signs and guideposts by which we navigate our way of life. A tradition is a way of doing something, not just thinking on an intellectual level, it is the actual way of doing something practical such as how we live day to day, what we eat, how we source our food, who we interact with and how we solve our problems with each other. These traditions are guided by Dlíthe agus Dúchais (customary law and heritage). Our Dlíthe are contained within Féineachas (The hereditary jurisprudence of the Free Gaels) and are the evolving principals and procedures by which we conduct ourselves. Our Dúchas claims our collective birth right to our spiritual and physical connection to this Land, Sea and Sky. Our traditional knowledge informs our practices and ideas concerning Nature and the universe. Our customs within Féineachas promote tailored restorative problem solving techniques for our communities. Our heritage promotes a collaborative stewardship approach to natural resource management.

Féineachas - Dlíthe Dúchais na nGael
(Hereditary Rights and Responsibilities of the Gael)
Féinechas as our customary law has existed since time immemorial. It exists as a lawful space outside of common law and is not dependent on common law recognition or non-recognition for its existence. Dlíthe is translated into English as Law but Dlíthe and Law have two different foundation philosophies and are therefore applied differently in practice. The process of Dlíthe within Féineachas is one of restoration and is reinforced by the cohesive working relationships of our society. Dúchas claims our hereditary rights and responsibilities in relation to the place where we live and where our ancestors lived. This hereditary right is not the same as ownership but is defined by our shared use of the land and our responsibility to protect and nurture the land and other people. As Celtic Gaelic people we continue to live our lives according to our own laws and traditions.
We recognise Féineachas as an evolving process to collectively share the responsibility of protecting and maintaining our alliances with each other and to effectively steward all our natural resources. Féineachas guides decision making to reach agreements and problem solving. Féineachas ensures the needs of Nature are considered in all agreements and Féineachas recognises that all alliances are honoured and respected above individual grievances.
The mechanisms by which Féineachas operates share many similarities across the country but decisions are made locally and remain within the context of living breathing people. Regular local review of the mechanisms in place are essential and strategies are in place to ensure input from the younger generations.

Aénaige, Féilte agus Turas - Gatherings, Festivals and Pilgrimage
There are many different types of Aénaige, Féilte agus Turas - all are celebrations of our living heritage. They follow the timing of the Celtic Calendar and take place on sacred sites or at our new Bilé, special trees at our sacred gathering places. These gatherings, festivals and pilgrimages are connected with our ancestors throughout Éire and in many parts of the Celtic Homelands.
Aénaige - are gatherings that occur every three years. Teaglach, Clanns and Tuath are announced, leaders are declared.
Féilte - are gatherings which include celebrations of the solar, lunar and stellar year.
Turas - are individual and group pilgrimage which may seek involvement and accommodation with the local Clanns/Tuath.
Teanga na Gaeilge - The Gaeilge Language
Gaeilge is a language of community, of connection to place and of resilience. There are many English speaking Celtic Gaels and there are many Celtic Gaels living in the Gaeltacht areas of Éire. There is a difference between the spoken Gaeilge of the Gaeltachts and standardised school taught Irish. Gaeilge remains fundamental to our cultural expression and it is necessary to recognise that violent and oppressive colonisation has resulted in a significant portion of the Celtic Gaelic community speaking English, with some possessing an innate fear of learning Gaeilge. It is necessary to recognise the cultural benefits of the people living within the Gaeltacht and the potential for the language to expand back out from there. This is the space which we must navigate together. Gaeilge remains a language which embodies many concepts of how we live in relation to each other and Nature. It cannot be abandoned. We encourage an educated use of the language i.e. to learn from native speakers descendant from the Gaeltacht (Irish speaking areas) and apply a filter to reject all forms of imperialism.
Slí Bheatha agus Meitheal – Way of Life (livelihood) and shared work
Our Slí Bheatha comes from working directly with Nature to sustain ourselves. Éire has been known since time immemorial as a bountiful and beautiful Land. It has the capacity to feed, shelter and fuel many millions of people. It’s abundant coastal waters are also our main channels of trade with other nations and it is this trade with other Nations which brings diversity into our own culture.
Our Slí Bheatha as Celtic Gaels is intrinsically linked to our cultural identity including our spiritual beliefs. We treat our natural resources such as woodlands, lakes, rivers, oceans and mountains as shared resources revolving around our collective need for economic stability. We maintain a deep respect for our cultural traditions and know that these woodlands, lakes, rivers, oceans and mountains are places where the Supreme Being of Nature is known and found.
We advocate for more than ‘sustainability’, we seek to create and ensure ‘abundance’ in a way that honours and benefits all of Nature by restoring the great mixed woodlands of Éire. We aim to support the restoration of our mixed woodlands with the development of family woodlands providing social, spiritual, environmental and economic benefits to all People. Meitheal (shared work) is utilised as it is through this process that relationships are developed and societal bonds are created and strengthened.
Important Notice
We believe that is important to state clearly that the Celtic Druid Temple is initiating and supporting this process but does not seek to be in charge of it or to control it. It is also important to state clearly that there is no requirement on Daoine, Teaghlaigh, Clann, Tuath nó Tuath Mór to be Druí (Druids) or to train as a Druid – but there is a requirement on membership that there be a willingness to work together to restore the indigenous ways of the Celtic Gael.
