What can I do to get in touch with my Irish heritage? It%26#039;s the culture part of me that I%26#039;m most proud and connected to/of and I want to celebrate it somehow.
Wear Claddagh?
Learn some Irish?
What do you all suggest?
Getting in touch w/ Irish heritage?

Reply:Wearing a piece of Irish jewelry* and listening to Irish music (my own favorite group is the Clancy Brothers) are both great ideas. The music will deepen your Irish feelings, and the jewelry will catch the attention of others with Irish roots, with whom you may form bonds to explore your heritage together. You can also explore Irish literature and history. Some of the greatest English-language writers of modern times have actually been Irish, among them Oscar Wilde, George Bernard Shaw, and James Joyce. In fact, most %26quot;English%26quot; playwrights of the past 300+ years have actually been Irish. A popular historcal novelist who%26#039;s very much into Irish (and other Celtic) subjects is Morgan Llywelyn, who despite her very Welsh name is at least as much Q-Celtic as P-Celtic. (If you don%26#039;t know those terms, you can begin your exploration by looking them up.)
And oh yes, you can also drink. The Irish lead the world in per capita consumption of one particular beverage. It%26#039;s spelled t-e-a.
*A Celtic cross until your significant other GIVES you a piece of claddagh jewelry, since that motif is so often used for wedding and engagement rings
Reply:listen to irish music, take aida%26#039;s advice on the jewellry thing, learn irish, maybe even set your yahoo or wikipedia homepage to the irish one!?
Reply:I would suggest you research your geneology to find out family history and then make it an aim of yours to one day visit the area your ancestors came from. The claddagh thing is mainly for tourists and isn%26#039;t something that most people in ireland wear.
